Dead in the Family

This is one of my favorite collection of books--The Southern Vampire Series--which has recently been made into a TV series.  I've checked it out, and it catches interest, but I'd much rather read the books, so I haven't really watched anymore than two episodes.

I first picked up one of these books because of the cover art.  It was unique and not embarrassing to hold onto in public (like those other vampire series that I've read...aka Vampire Academy, House of Night, Blue Blood and of course Twilight ...ok the Twilight series had good cover art...it was just the adolescent stigma attached to the whole vampire fad going on).  Trust me, its embarrassing to be in college and running to the youth sci-fi section at Borders (secretly really really excited to find out what happens next).

Charlaine Harris has opted to turn this into a 13 book series, a bit stretched out if you ask me, but you gotta juice it when its good, right?  This particular novel didn't have as much going on as the other ones, but it was much better than the last two shes written.  The previous seven books were great though.  Heres the series below.  Cute and unique, right?  I hate it when they change the cover art to a contemporary motion pictures screen shot...they should always keep the original.
