Sokkie har ikke mange familiemedlemmer tilbage, hvorfor hun hader at miste endnu et, og af alle de tilbageværende forventede hun bestemt ikke, at det ville være hende kusine Hadley - som teknisk set allerede var død - der ville være den næste. Hadley var ledsager til New Orleans vampyrdronning, og efterlader Sookie en arv. En arv som ikke er helt risikoløs, da der er flere som ikke er interesseret i, at Sookie graver for meget i Hadleys fortid - eller i hendes ejendele.

Sookie har en uforbederlig evne til at befinde sig midt i alverdens farlige situationer, og hun er derfor også vidne til nedbrændingen af Merlotte's, hvor hun arbejder som servitrice. Da Sam Merlotte er kendt for at være en hamskifter, falder mistanken straks på anti-skifterne i området. Sookie har andre teorier, men hendes opmærksomhed bliver afledt, da hun finder ud af, at hendes elsker, Eric, og hans "barn" planlægger at slå deres vampyrleder ihjel.

Sookie Stackhouse er vokset op med telepatiske evner og har fra en tidlig alder lært, at der er ting, hun ville ønske, hun ikke vidste. Men der er også ting, hun ville ønske, hun ikke havde set - for eksempel Eric Northman drikke fra en ung kvindes hals. Da Felipe de Castro, Louisianas vampyrkonge, er i byen, holder Sookie tæt om det, hun har set. Men det er højst uheldig, at der under hans besøg dukker et lig af en ung kvinde op i Erics forhave.

Det overnaturlige samfund i Bon Temps, Louisiana, er så småt ved at komme sig oven på to katastrofer: Først orkanen Katrinas hærgen og så en voldsom eksplosion på det hotel, hvor et stort vampyrtopmøde blev afholdt. Sookie Stackhouse overlevede med nød og næppe og er tilbage på vampyrbaren Merlotte's, hvor hun langer årgangsblod over disken. Men alt er ikke, som det plejer, for flere vampyrer blev dræbt eller såret i attentatet, og hendes hamskifterkæreste Quinn er blandt de savnede.

Byen Bon Temps i Louisiana står til at blive rystet af chokerende nyt fra den overnaturlige verden: Lige som vampyrerne gjorde det før dem, er varskabningerne - mennesker med evnen til at transformere sig om til dyr - nu klar til at afsløre dem selv for resten af verden. Sookie Stackhouse, der er bartender og kan høre de levende menneskers tanker, er bekymret over afsløringen, og det har hun god grund til, når man tænker på, hvordan indbyggerne i den lille by foragter alle med overnaturlige evner, inklusiv Sookie.

Sookie Stackhouse er 25 år og servitrice i en af sydstaterne. Der er en ting, som adskiller hende fra de andre unge i byen - hun kan læse menneskers tanker. Og kun de levende menneskers tanker. Da en "ung" vampyr en dag kommer ind og bestiller et glas blod, er det en stor lettelse for hende, at der endelig er et menneske, hvis tanker hun ikke kan høre. Hun bliver forelsket i vampyren Bill.

Den korte, men voldsomme Fekrig har krævet mange ofre, og Sookie Stackhouse har blandt andet mistet sin fe-kusine Claudine. Midt i elendigheden er Sookies eneste lyspunkt kærligheden til vampyren Eric Northmann. Men den nye vampyrkonge er mistænksom og holder ekstra øje med parret. På den politiske scene bliver hamskifternes bemyndigelse truet, og stemningen blandt varulvefolket bliver mere og mere hadsk.

Nytårsnat kører Sookie hjem fra arbejde og ser en nøgen mand løbe langs vejen i mørket og kulden. Det viser sig, at den stakkels mand ikke har det fjerneste begreb om, hvem han er. Men det har Sookie til gengæld. Den nøgne mand er vampyren Eric Northman. Og han er langt fra sit gamle jeg. Eric er venlig, blid - og meget bange; den som fjernede hans hukommelse, er nu ude efter hans liv.

Deciding if she wants to go into real estate becomes a life-or-death choice for Aurora "Roe" Teagarden. A naked corpse is discovered at her first house showing. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate-and maybe too much about Roe.

Roe concludes that the elderly women has purposely left her a murder to solve.

Cleaning woman and karate expert Lily Bard is a woman with a complicated past. Trying her best to cope with her terrifying memories and horrible nightmares, she decides to join a weekly group therapy session in her hometown of Shakespeare, Arkansas. At first Lily can hardly believe the number of her fellow Shakespeareans who share her life experiences.

Lily discovers lifelong Shakespeare resident Deedra Dean murdered inside a car parked in a woodsy area out town. Determined not to get involved, Lily wants to leave the police work to Sheriff Marta Schuster and her team of deputies, and concentrate on cleaning, high kicks, and her boyfriend Jack's impending visit. But when Deedra's notoriously promiscuous lifestyle provides an extensive list of suspects but very few clues, Lily has no choice but to resume the role of amateur detective and join the investigation.

Lily Bard is going home for the holidays. More comfortable in baggy sweats than bridesmaid's frills, Lilly isn't thrilled about attending her estranged sister's wedding. She has moved to Shakespeare, Arkansas, to start a new life, cleaning houses for a living, trying to forget the violence that once nearly destroyed her. Now she's heading back to home and hearth - just in time for murder.

The white victim was somehow connected to two unsolved murders of black residents of Shakespeare - and a dogged policeman is determined to stop the killing. But it is Lily herself who may have to decide whether to stay and fight for justice, or run away one more time.
