Chapter 1
The Shreveport vampire bar would be opening late tonight. I was running behind, and I’d automatically gone to the front door, the public door, only to be halted by a neatly lettered sign, read Gothic script on the white cardboard: We’ll Be Ready To Greet You With A Bit Tonight, At Eight O’clock. Please Excuse Our Delayed Opening. It was signed “The Staff of Fangtasia.”
It was the third week in September, so the red neon Fangtasia sign was already on. The sky was almost pitch-black. I stood with one foot inside my car for a minute, enjoying the mild evening and the faint, dry small of vampire that lingered around the club. Then I drove around to the back and parked beside several other cars lined up at the employee entrance. I was only five minutes late, but it looked like everyone else had beaten me to the meeting. I rapped on the door. I waited.
Synopsis
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life—the oh-so-handsome shapeshifter Quinn—but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

I am so behind in this series!
Never tried this series, and although the intro has me curious, I have too many others to even think about starting a new series -- enjoy Nancy
