Sookie comes to the rescue of a naked, amnesiac vampire - and ends up in the middle of a war between witches, werewolves and vampires!

Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She''s pretty. She does her job well. She keeps to herself - she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie''s gift: she can read minds. That''s not exactly every man''s idea of date bait - unless they''re undead - vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that''s just the kind of guy Sookie''s been looking for.

Maybe that''s why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn''t just drive on by. He hasn''t got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he''s sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie''s help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life. Sookie''s investigation into what''s going on leads her straight into a dangerous battle between witches, vampires and werewolves. But there could be even greater danger - to Sookie''s heart, because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist.

The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night.
