Publisher's summary

Charlaine Harris' popular Southern Vampire mysteries have been described by Publishers Weekly as "humorous Southern-fried fantasy" with a little bit of romance.

In the follow up to Dead Until Dark, telepathic friend of the undead (and vampire bar cocktail waitress) Sookie Stackhouse puts her newfound powers to the test. After an unfortunate incident, Sookie finds herself beholden to a group of Louisiana vampires. So she agrees to travel to Dallas with her undead boyfriend Bill and track down a missing vamp, but only if the vampires promise to let local humans go unharmed. That seems easier said than done when an upstart religious cult threatens to destroy all things vampire - including Sookie, who is quickly scheduled for sacrifice.

Great story telling

Would you listen to Living Dead in Dallas again? Why?

No. However, I never watch a movie twice or read a book twice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sookie is fabulous, down to earth, a

Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. She brings the character's to life. The author has written a good story and the reader makes it real. She is one of the reasons I will buy more of these books.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Sexy beats Dead.

Any additional comments?

I listen to books when I am doing long workouts. These books make me want to work out more.

Pretty good addition to the series :)

3.5-4 stars

This was a pretty good addition to the series. Sookie and Bill are still together and doing well overall (although they do have a few problems in the story). They get sent to Dallas by Eric (Bill's Vampire boss) so that Sookie can use her special abilities to help out with a supernatural situation there. They get through that alright but there are some issues closer to home that they also have to deal with. The story ends with things settled and Sookie and Bill together and doing well.

I enjoyed this story. I still like Sookie and Bill although Bill was maybe a bit less likable in this story than the first. Still, I thought they made a good couple. The story was pretty good and seemed a bit better paced than the first one. Overall, I liked it and would recommend it. :)

* FYI, the last 30 minutes of the audio version is actually a preview of the next book.

An entertaining listen! Spectacular narrator!

This narrator breathes so much life into every line, you'll feel like there's a whole cast! The intonations and fluctuations in her voice are able to convey every emotion. You can even tell when a character is lying! She's truly a treat to listen to.

The story is entertaining and decently written. It's a fun piece of fiction with some twists and turns, and makes for perfect listening distraction while working on mindless task.

Talented voice acting!

Love character & voice over the story.
Here grasp over the various characters is profound! Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s her speaking, or another person speaking!?!

Amazing!

I have heard a lot about these books and tried the first one and loved it. I got the second one, thinking it wouldn't be as good..... and it was! I am now totally addicted and am going slowly mad waiting for my credits so I can find out what happens to Sookie next. I love the narrator and I'm glad she is southern, it makes Sookie real.
