Hey everyone I just wanted to get out there if you're waiting on the new Sookie Stackhouse books a really great read is the Anita Blake Novels by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Anita is an "animator" which means she raises the dead and she is also a vampire hunter. Weird huh but don't worry her life gets a little complicated after she befriends more creatures of the dark. There are 18 books in all and the creatures range from werecreatures to zombies to witches to other things. I can't say more without giving it away but they are really great.
