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.
