I really liked Sunshine and plan on reading a lot more of her stuff. It wasn't just 'this isn't bad for a vampire/fantasy book' but this is a really good book. I will check that one out.
The Sookie books, well I can see what people might like in them, but she just seems really dumb to me. I know the book keeps saying she's smart but all of her choices seem so stupid for someone who must know that people hide a lot themselves under a facade. Plus the bit where she was made at the coworker for not wanting her kids there when her vampire lover was around just annoyed me. And she seemed curiously unconcerned about *any* of the dead people.
The thing is the more vampiric that vampires are the more you have to explain why the heroine would work would one and the Harris novel just glossed right over that while trying to say they were really scary. And potentially deadly.
