Living Dead in Dallas is the second book in Charlaine Harris's series The Southern Vampire Mysteries. This second novel follows the adventures of telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse of Bon Temps, Louisiana, as she is employed by Dallas vampires to use her telepathy to help find their lost companion. Sookie agrees to help investigate the whereabouts of the missing vampire on one condition: any humans found to be involved must be turned over to human law enforcement rather than subjected to vampire justice. In Dallas Sookie Stackhouse has her first encounter with the anti-vampire organization "The Fellowship of the Sun," as well as meeting and learning of the existence of werewolves.

Review of 'Living Dead in Dallas' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Sookie and Bill head to Dallas to help a local group of vampires since one of them has gone missing and seems to be in the hands of some religious fanatics. This is the first time Sookie acts as a representative of the vampires.

I liked this better the first time I read it. It's a nice adventure but it ends too soon, while the plot struggles a lot in the end to keep going after Sooki returns from Dallas. However, this is the first book where we glimpse fabulous Eric being himself, and that is why I gave it 4 stars.
