Sookie is a quirky barmaid who has a special gift of being able to read minds. Her hometown is in Bon Temps, Louisiana and her ability has left her feeling like the proverbial outcast. She feels alone. Not only that, but her parents also died while she was still young. She feels disconnected from the small-mindedness of the town, particularly when Bill, the new vampire in the town is greeted by the townsfolk with very suspicious eyes. Sookie cannot read the mind of Bill, and she finds comfort in this as it makes their interactions a lot more natural. The torrid romance that ensues raises a lot of eyes around the small town and causes quite a few headaches as each person attempts to play a part in each other’s world.

Even when keeping his bloodlust under control he still has to deal with the vampires, the humans and the others for wanting to get closer to Sookie for both evil and good purposes.
