While I read this book I kept thinking about TV-serie, and this book could fit in one and a half episode...

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Bill is really just as boring in the book series as he is in the show.

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.

I enjoyed this book immensly. It was better than the first book and I believe this series is going continue to be good. 
This book was a lot faster baced and that was one of the reasons why I liked it more compared to the first book. 
In these novels, the characters are enjoyable and just simply good. I quite like Sookie in the books although she's not my favorite character in the TV series and I in general, I somehow find the characters to be more real in the books than in the TV series no matter how weird that might sound. 
All in all, this book was great and I cannot wait to read more books from this series.

Compared to book 1 of this series, this one is much better. Book 1 is needed to establish the characters, however the pacing of 2 is improved. The writing is better. More time is taken with each plot event and transition between so that the flow is smoother. 

When comparing to the show (reason I'm reading), the book has the bones and foundation,  but I think the show had more depth and involved the secondary characters better. Pretty much season 2. Book is Sookie centric (only makes sense as the series is hers), has no Jason involved, and shorter interaction with the meanad. Tara is finally introduced but has no major part. I do like with the book that Bill's character is kept more consistent with what I believe is coming up in the next book or two.

Overall, easy, fun read that isn't meant to be taken serious. I did enjoy the story and diving into more of the source of the show.

Personally, I am a huge fan of Charlaine Harris's fast paced writing style and wild imagination. I am one of those people who watched the TV show before reading the books, so I already had a rough idea about what was going to happen yet at the same time I liked the differences between the two.

I love all the characters even bitchy Pam, who I just have to smile at. But, I am proud to say I am a STRICTLY TEAM ERIC! all the way. Bill does sometimes irritate me, but I still like him. 

This book honestly just made me laugh. Tonight I will be dreaming of Eric(A.K.A. Alexander Skarsgård) in pink Lycra, strange but actually very...yummy.

This is the second book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries and I enjoyed it far more than the first. The characters were developed a little further and the story moved along at a good pace.

This book is good for what it is. The pacing is great. I’m grateful the show did such an amazing job casting, cause it makes it easy to picture the characters. Alexander Skarsgard is Eric. I’m just waiting for Sookie and Eric to get together. Eric oozes main character energy, Bill not so much. Bill is such a shit boyfriend. He’s giving insecure. I typically don’t find possessiveness hot in any books, but especially with Bill it just comes off super insecure. His ownership attitude over Sookie is gross and he’s just plain unlikable. But the interesting story, world, and Eric made this a fun read and I’m excited to continue the series. It’s way different from the show, so I don’t even know where the story is going.

Few things I disliked. Sookie seems pretty judgmental. The way she was judging everyone at the orgy was uncalled for. Like she was just way too pure for something like that. Because of the way her opinions are presented, as if she is being reasonable, I feel like this is a reflection of the authors opinions. She says a lot of whorephobic things in the first book too. Not just her, but the way all the women are talked about. Like people who have sex a lot are less than. 

I would hope that the Mynad and Fellowship plot lines are continued in the next book. If not then they were very poorly done and not fleshed out at all. I think Godfrey was very boring compared to the show’s Godfrey. Same with the Mynad, her character was not explored to its full potential at all. The Dallas vampires are boring. Like half of Bon Tomps has died and the town is acting like that’s totally fine.

2.5 maybe?
It was better than the first book 🤷🏻‍♀️
Still don't feel like running to read the next one, ha. Maybe later.
