Although I’ve heard the Sookie Stackhouse series praised for years, I was reluctant to dive in. I didn’t think I’d be interested in an open ended series with the possibility of more than one romantic hero. I want to read romance with just a side dish of adventure and I relish those solidly wrapped up endings.

Finally heeding the words of many, I chose it as my Series challenge and boy, has it paid off! The audio version is so entertaining that I can’t envision preferring the printed word. Johanna Parker excels in her narration, the pace is tight, the story delightful, and I didn’t find a single boring moment. I immediately purchased the second in the series, Living Dead in Dallas and experienced all the above once again. I will continue with this series.
