I know the Southern Vampire Mysteries series aren't great literature and Charlaine Harris isn't going to be winning a Booker Prize any time soon, the series is a light, easy and entertaining read. Ms Harris has built an intriguing world and has been the Maker to a set of characters that I've found myself heavily invested in, which is rare for me ( Read more... )
