An Orbit title

Small town Louisiana has a big problem - or rather a number of big problems. And now some of them have come knocking on Sookie's door ...

Sookie is an unassuming cocktail waitress in an (outwardly) unremarkable town. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. Attractive as she is, her hidden 'talents' send men running. For some reason her mindreading skills are just a bit threatening … Then the unreadable Bill appears on the scene. Tall, dark and handsome, Bill seems to be the man of her dreams. Except he's not technically human.

Bill is a vampire and a vampire who keeps seriously bad company, some suspected - unsurprisingly - of murder. Things get a bit close to home when a co-worker is murdered and Sookie starts wondering whether she will be next …

Reviews

  • 'Bridget Jones with fangs … the best tongue-in-cheek vampire story I have ever read' SFX. Praise for series: 'Great fun, a light-hearted small-town variation of the same sort of vampire thrills that make Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake novels so popular' LOCUS, 'An author of rare talents' Publishers Weekly, 'Genuinely enter- taining page-turners with a dash of blood-red horror … helped by a main character who's humane, flawed and genuine fun to be around' SFX
