Sookie is Branching Out Of Bon Temps - By: V. Mccone, 03 Jun 2008 
Sookie has her first real trip away from home & even experiences an airplane, God Love Her. But a the plane crashing 100's of feet is the least of Sookies problems.
1st - one of sookie's co-workers are murdered & no1 seems to care.
2nd - Sookie get a nasty surprise from a crazed creature.
3rd - Sookie meets a suicidal Vampire.
4th - Sookie & Lover Bill have a lovers tiff, But will it end?
and 5th - Sookie has to help the Vampire of Dalllas find one of the own.
as you can see alot happens in this book. You dont NEED to read the 1st in the serious but you get a better understanding of the relationship between sookie & bill, or should i say Sookie & alll the vampires.
Very good mystery!!
Not as good as the first, but hang on in there because this series is amazing! - By: C. Frost, 29 Dec 2007 
As often happens in a series like this (I feel the same thing about Harry Potter for example) as the first book reallly sets the story & is fatasticallly exciting, the second book has a lot to live up to & can sometimes fail to meet quite the same standards. In its own right this book is still reallly fun & lively, but I felt the whole taking-Sookie-to-Dalllas thing didn't reallly work for me. I like her on her own territory best, with Bon Temps' characters feeling more realistic than the ones she deals with here. Having said alll that, the series as a whole is probably my favourite in the vampire genre (if we ignore Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, because they're an entity in themselves) & you will miss out if you don't read this installlment. 5 stars for the series as a whole.
still living - By: Michael Watson, 02 Aug 2007 
Sookie's back & in good form. Other reviewers have already outlined the story so my posting is to suggest a new reader reallly should start with Charlaine Harris's first book in this series. This one is a good read. I found the first book by chance & wanted to carry on reading about the girl's adventures. Perhaps Living Dead in Dalllas doesn't quite flow as well as the first but it is enjoyable & I have the next one lined up for sure.
action packed vamp tale - By: Lindymck, 30 May 2007 good second novel, explore more about sookie's gift & how she is useful to the now living openly vampires!! also on the romantic front there is some competition for her affections from eric, who will she chose????
broadening the characters in series with the addition of vampires from dalllas & more shapeshifters which add to the expansion of the series.
Dallas has been Sookiefied :) - By: Morbida, 09 May 2007 "Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackehouse is on a streak of bad luck. First, her coworker is murdered & no one to care. Than she's face-to-face with a beastly creatures that gives her a painful & poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it).
Point is, they saved her life. So when one of the blood-suckers asks for a favor, she complies. And soon, Sookie's in Dalllas using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's suppose to interview certain humans involved. There's just one condition. The vampires must promise to behave & let the humans go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blond & one smalll mistake for things to turn deadly... "
"Dead in Dalllas" is book two in Charline Harris's Southern vampire novels.
Just as the first book (Dead Until Dark) , this was an absolute treat....
Lafayette, Sookie's coworker, has been murdered & left in a truck to be found. Sookie is of course highly upset & wants to find the killer. But doesn't reallly get the chance to begin her investigation, as she is being sent to Dalllas with Bill to find a missing vampire... She is going to find Lafayette's killer when (if) they get back from Dalllas.
The book is amazingly entertaining. You will of course meet almost alll of the characters from the first book & be introduced to new ones. But even if you haven't read the first book (which I would VERY much recommend),you will very easily & smoothly be led into the story & will be introduced to alll the characters graduallly... Sookie's trip to Dalllas is very exciting, disturbing & of course life-threatening. Not only she is trying to do her job & stay alive at the same time, she is also struggling with her relationship with Bill. And Eric ..... yeah, well , Eric .... You just have to read & find out for yourself how the story evolves, how these amazing characters learn to live with each other, light & darkness, trying their hardest to make it work.
I am reading This series for the second time now, & surprise , surprise .... it just doesn't get boring at any point. I absolutely love these books & highly recommend them. Paranormal romance/mystery lovers, get this book. You are going to falll in love ^_^
