Trueblood on HBO

Dead and Gone by New York Times best-selling author Charlain Harris is the 9th book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series. The previous eight books revolve around Sookie Stackhouse's life as a barmaid in a fictional town in Louisiana, while living a secret life as a telepath.

All of the eight books were told in first-person by Sookie Stackhouse herself, and has been adapted to an HBO series, True Blood, with Anna Paquin portraying Sookie Stackhouse.

The ninth book, Dead and Gone is going to be released early this May, but the first chapter is already posted on Charlaine Harris' website as a teaser for the fans. A lot of people have been waiting on the edge of their seats as early as December of last year for the release of the book, and the sales are expected to sweep the record of sales of the sales of the eight previous books combined.

The first chapter of Dead and Gone is about Sookie Stackhouse still, with hints about other special characters appearing in the book like werewolves, vampires, and the villains in the story the Fellowship of the Sun. Somehow, Sookie Stackhouse always finds herself stuck in the middle of events, but eventually be the one to entangle everything.

I just hope that Dead and Gone will feature a different twist in the plot, so that readers will not be bored with the same structure, and be excited with Sookie's character again.
