Already Dead? Yes, yes, it was that "can save/won't tell her" thing. It is common...and perhaps that is why it bugged me. But honestly I rarely like vamp stories. His were easily some of the best I've read. I generally don't read a lot of them. I liked Charlaine's series ... for one book. I read book 2 and maybe 3? Or I skipped to book 5? I don't know. That type of saga doesn't do a dang thing for me. It wasn't the vamps, it was the lack of a good mystery plot and the drama of "everyone loves Sookie - 95 boyfriends."
The whole thing about vamps is they are... dead. I dunno. Like I said, he did a good job and the story had me flipping pages madly. But I just didn't want to read the second one.
