Dead to the World - Charlaine Harris

With the sure touch of a master (Crescent Blues), Charlaine Harris delivers the sort of vampire thrills that make Laurell Hamilton`s Anita Blake novels so popular (Locus). In Sookie Stackhouse-a Southern cocktail waitress with a supernatural gift-Harris has a created a heroine like few others, and a series that puts the bite back in vampire fiction. Now the hit series launches into hardcover for Sookie`s biggest twist-filled adventure yet. When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn`t just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn`t a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It`s Eric the vampirebut now he`s a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life.
