Dead in the Family, Audio edition by Charlaine Harris

I picked up this audio book at a freebie table not really knowing what to expect. After listening to it I discovered it is the 10th book in a series called "The Southern Vampire Mysteries. The TV series True Blood was based on these books. It's a bizarre tale set in Northwestern Louisiana complete with a southern drawl, vampires, shape-shifters, faeries, and werewolves. The main character, Sookie is human, can read minds, is in a complicated relationship with Eric a Viking vampire, her cousin Claude, a gay male stripclub dancer moves in with her after his second twin sister dies, and she is right in the middle of the never-ending turmoil of the supernatural. Except for the occasional over-explicit/described sex, it was a fun novel to listen to.
