Dead Until Dark - Charlaine Harris

Dead Until Dark is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. This book introduces us to Sookie, a telepath, who lives in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. 

After the Japanese manage to produce synthetic blood Vampires have 'come out' and are now living as legit citizens. When Sookie meets her first vampire, Bill Compton, she is thrilled to discover that his mind is closed and that she is unable to 'read' him. This gives her some much longed for peace.

Sookie falls in love with Bill in this book. We follow her as she meets more Vampires and learns about their ways as she adapts to as life with Bill. 

There's another story going on in Dead Until Dark as there are several murders in Bon Temps and the Vampires are chief suspects! Sookie discovers who is responsible and her life is endangered as a result!

Add in to this that Sookie also discovers that her friend and boss Sam is another kind of supernatural! This story sets up the rest of the series very well. If you haven't read the
Sookie Stackhouse series yet - DO!!!
