Dead to the World - Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse works as a waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Aside from her regular job as a waitress she also has the more unusual talent of mind reading. Due to this unusual gift the regular humans don't really like to get too close to Sookie, however as her telepathy doesn't extend to the Vampires minds she often finds herself spending time with the vampires, she previously dated the vampire Bill and sometimes she ends up working for them too.

Dead to the World is the fourth book from Charlaine Harris in the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries / True Blood Series. It retails at £6.99 for the paperback version, though you can get this a lot cheaper if you buy it from the right place. Amazon presently have it available for £3.97, or you can get it from the Book People for £8.99 as part of their 8 book True Blood special offer pack.

This is the 4th book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series about Sookie Stackhouse and the supernatural goings on in Bon Temps. I bought this book from thebookpeople.co.uk for £8.99 for the first 8 of the books in the series. The plot is: Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's pretty.

Maybe that's why, when she comes ...  Read the complete review
