Dead and Gone | Paperback | Charlaine Harris

Description:

Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her job as cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana, even though she sometimes gets tired of the constant chatter - and not just the gossip; Sookie can read minds. It's taken time, but she's finally found cute, dateable guys whose minds she can't read. And okay, so most of them happen to be vampires but no man is perfect, right? All of the humans in Bon Temps have had dealings with the vamps - mysterious, seductive creatures who 'came out' a few years back. Now it's the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world. Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she's friend to the local Were pack and Sam, her boss at Merlotte's bar, is a shifter. At first the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte's. Though Sookie never cared that much for the victim, no one deserves such a horrible death, so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer. But what Sookie doesn't realise is that there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful and far more secretive than the vampires or the werewolves is preparing for war. And Sookie is an all-too human pawn in their ages old battle.
