Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her job as a cocktail waitress in Merlotte's a small-town bar in small-town Bon Temps deep in Louisiana. She's funny & pretty & thanks to her grandmother she's very well-mannered
- but since not many people truly appreciate her ability to read their minds the guys haven't exactly been beating down her door.. . And then along came Bill tall dark & handsome
- & Sookie couldn't 'hear' a word he was thinking. He was exactly the type of guy she'd been waiting all her life for. Of course Bill had a disability of his own: fussy about his food not into suntans bit of a night person: yep Bill was a vampire. But at least now Sookie nows there *are* guys she can date who won't worry about her catching them thinking about other women.. . And that's going to make Sookie's life really interesting!
