Sookie Stackhouse -- a waitress in small town Bon Temps, Louisiana -- has a small disability. She can read minds. This has caused her problems her entire life as she must guard against the minds of everyone around her. Until she meets Bill, a vampire. Turns out she can't hear the minds of vampires. Things would be perfect except for the vampire-related murders in town . . . .
This is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I picked it up while waiting for another book to come in. I thought it was a fun, quick read. It was the easiest book to get into of the Charlaine Harris series that I've tried so far. I'll definitely try the next book in the series.
