Living dead in Dallas (book 2 Sookie Stackhouse series)

Okay so the second book, I really love the cover art it's super cute and simple it's just so great. The book starts with Bill and Sookie's relationship.  It's very grounded and almost normal despite the fact that he's a civil war aged vampire. her friend Lafayette was found murdered and naked in the back seat of the local police chief's car. In order to find this out bill and Sookie end up on the way to meet up with the other vampires in fangtasia sookie is attacked by a minad an (ancient demi goddess that feeds off of pride and lust.) Then they have to save Sookie. I'm not going to give away too much more because a lot of people hate spoilers even though this book has been out forever. But anyway how I feel about this book is the writing is fast paced and the story continues to move there aren't a lot of dull parts. I like the character development especially the development of bill and sookie's relationship. I know I already mentioned it but I love it so much like I fan girl really hard about them. And the sex scenes in this book are so intense I had tingles for like 3 chapters afterwards.  They aren't scummy or badly written.  However there is too much random love dilemmas like there is Eric the vampire who is a total sex magnet who just wants the goodies from sookie. And then there is a werewolf who is the owner of the bar that sookie works at. Or the fact that all the vampires that Sookie meets are head over heels in love with her and Bill always has to steak his claim. It sort of gets old after a while because she's like property and they are passing her around. The other thing I have a problem with is that the previous book or the problem is always repeated.  But yeah over all its a good series and of you like supernatural stuff you'll like these books. I just wish that there could be a werewolf series that was this good.  Sometimes werewolf series end up just being boring and the girl is always dating the alpha or something they end up making the protagonist all series and angry because apparently all werewolves have anger issues. But I would too if all the books about me sucked.
