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 supposed 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...

This particular one did not seem very mysterious. There were sort of two mysteries - who had murdered Lafayette and who had kidnapped Farrell. Neither were particularly mysterious because just as you were getting clues to whodunit, Sookie out and out heard the answer. Then there is the romance side-plot with Bill.
Again, easy fun little read. This one was definitely not as good as the first.
Decent Fluff.
