Sookie Stackhouse

[/QUOTE]

Does Sookie become a vampire later in the series? I just finished reading the first book, where she gets together with Bill Compton. Also in that series is Eric, Pam, several who are killed in the first book whose names I forget, and of course Bubba.

My mistake. I apparently confusing Harris’ series with some other series where the heroine was a vampire.

I’m planning to read the others as soon as I can pick them up, now that I’ve finally read the first one. I was just talking with the friend who has been recommending them to me for the past two years and she refused to tell me anything about what happens to any of the characters, except that Arlene continues to show poor taste in her choice of men, and that Bubba makes occasional appearances.

Selene, Kraven, Viktor (a vamped Bill Nighy is something to see) and Erika.

The actress who plays Erika, Sophia Myles, stars as Beth the reporter in the TV show _Moonlight_, opposite Mick the vampire. (I’m still watching it too, **levdrakon**. I’m a sucker for a vampire show.)
