I have become utterly obsessed with all things vampire. First the Twilight Saga, now True Blood and maybe the Vampire Diaries - the judgment call isn't out on this one yet. The husband and I just finished Season 2 of True Blood. Alan Ball has taken Charlaine Harris' books and transformed them into television pleasure. True Blood has it's fair share of "over the top, you've got to be kidding" story lines, but nothing makes you crack a smile like Jason Stackhouse! Season 2 was filled with maenads, dionysus (I do enjoy greek mythology) and shapeshifters.
The Sookie Stackhouse books were first published in 2001 and somehow I see similarities in the Twilight Saga. Sookie can read minds and has this supernatural power that develops at the end of season 2. The maenad can't cast a spell over her ... uncanny resemblance to Bella in book 4 after she's become a vampire and is able to create a shield that blocks out other vampire's powers.
Season 3 will introduce werewolves! Perhaps a love story will form between Sookie and one particular wolf. Hmmm ... Jacob and Bella anyone? I can't possibly wait until June 2010 to watch this season. I must keep up with spoilers along the way!
