Dead Until Dark
By Charlaine Harris, 2001
Series: The Southern Vampire Series

"Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out.... Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea. 'A fun, fast, funny, and wonderfully intriguing blend of vampire and mystery that's hard to put down, and should not be missed.' (Susan Sizemore)" (from Amazon.com)
