Synopsis: When a vampire asks Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the bloodsuckers must promise to let the humans go unharmed.
Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is on a streak of bad luck. First, her coworker is murdered and no one seems to care. Then she’s face-to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn’t enjoy it).
Point is, they saved her life. So when one of the blood-suckers asks for a favor, she complies. And soon, Sookie’s in Dallas using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She’s suppose to interview certain humans involved. There’s just one condition: The vampires must promise to behave – and let the humans go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly…
Review: Living Dead in Dallas brings back Sookie Stackhouse, Eric Northman, Bill Compton take a trip out to Dallas and shake things up as a vamp goes missing and no one knows where he went. The second installment of The Southern Vampire Series was actually good and kept me interested, unlike most of these new vamp books. Stackhouse was still annoying as she gets upset over the slightest thing and finds a reason to fight and sex Bill any chance she gets. The sex scenes are not for the faint of heart or those who cannot take the sight of nipples on a television screen during half-time.
Lafayette (a True Blood fan fav) is found dead in Andy Bellfleur’s (a Bon Temps detective) car because he was too drunk to take his behind home. If loosing a good friend was not trauma enough, Northman sends Stackhouse and Compton to Dallas to find a missing “brother” of the Dallas leader. There Stackhouse meets a group that goes by the name of The Fellowship of the Sun (FotS) and an organization of shapeshifters. Once Stackhouse is back in Bon Temps she finds out who killed Lafayette and they are dealt with by Callisto (the maenad). The book was a fun read and gets 8 blades and a B- for Stackhouse’s constant need to argue unnecessarily.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
As many gleam over the multiple of things that has been added to her list of "deeds" which deed became her turning point. ... Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
