Though a small town at heart, Lawrenceton, Georgia, has its dark side - and its crime buffs. One of them is librarian Aurora "Roe" Teagarden, a member of the Real Murders Club, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime - until the night she finds a member killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss.

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town. There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth....

Welcome to Midnight, Texas. It's a quiet little town, perched at the junction between Davy Road and Witch Light Road, and it's easy to miss. With its boarded-up windows, single traffic light, and sleepy air, there's nothing special about Midnight...which is exactly how the residents like it. So when the news comes that a new owner plans to renovate the run-down, abandoned old hotel in town, it's not met with pleasure.

Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate crossroad, even if they won’t admit it.

Charlaine Harris, la autora número 1 del New York Times, vuelve al salvaje mundo sobrenatural de Gunnie Rose. Lizbeth Rose ha sido contratada de nuevo para lo que parece un trabajo sencillo. Debe transportar una misteriosa caja hasta Dixie, el último rincón que querría visitar de lo que antaño fueron los Estados Unidos.

Para Sookie Stackhouse, las actividades del día a día de los vampiros y cambiantes de la comunidad de Bon Temps y alrededores, en Luisiana, son de vital interés. Tiene un vínculo de sangre con el rey de los vampiros, es amiga del grupo de cambiantes local, trabaja para un hombre que puede transformarse en cualquier animal, y tiene un hermano pantera. Aunque para la mayor parte de la población humana, los vampiros son criaturas misteriosas y seductoras, y eso que ni siquiera saben de la existencia de los cambiantes. Hasta ahora.

El juicio final esta en camino, y Sookie tiene una habilidad especial para situarse en medio de los problemas; en particular cuando es testigo del ataque con bombas incendiarias al Merlotte's, el bar donde trabaja. Dado que Sam Merlotte es conocido por su doble naturaleza, las sospechas inmediatamente recaen sobre los cambiantes de la zona. Sookie tiene otra opinion, pero antes de que pueda investigar surge algo aun mas peligroso.

El hecho de crecer con habilidades telepáticas hizo que Sookie Stackhouse se diera cuenta pronto de que había secretos que prefería no conocer. Y ahora que ha crecido, va a descubrir que tampoco le gustaría tener que ver algunas situaciones como, por ejemplo, a Eric Northman bebiéndose la sangre de una joven. Hay bastantes cosas que Sookie querría decirle a Eric al respecto, pero tiene que guardar silencio. Felipe de Castro, el rey vampiro de Luisiana, de Arkansas y de Nevada, está en la ciudad.

Picking up right where A Longer Fall left off, this thrilling third installment follows Lizbeth Rose as she takes on one of her most dangerous missions yet: rescuing her estranged partner, Prince Eli, from the Holy Russian Empire. Once in San Diego, Lizbeth is going to have to rely upon her sister Felicia, and her growing Grigori powers to navigate her way through this strange new world of royalty and deception in order to get Eli freed from jail where he’s being held for murder.

In this second thrilling installment of the Gunnie Rose series, Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew for a seemingly easy protection job, transporting a crate into Dixie, just about the last part of the former United States of America she wants to visit. But what seemed like a straightforward job turns into a massacre as the crate is stolen. Up against a wall in Dixie, where social norms have stepped back into the last century, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate, as what’s inside can spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time.

They call her the Ghost of Dunhill Cemetery, but most people think “the Cemetery Girl” is just a story. In some ways, that’s true. Her chosen name is Calexa Rose Dunhill, but she doesn’t know her real name. When she first arrived here, all she knew was that someone had tried to murder her, dumped her body, and left her for dead. Calexa has been hiding out, afraid to seek out her true identity in fear that her would-be murderer would find her and finish the job. And someone is searching for her...a man who holds the key that will unlock the secrets of Calexa’s past.

She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill. She has been living - hiding out - in Dunhill Cemetery ever since someone left her there to die. She has no idea who wants her dead or why, but she isn't about to wait around for her would-be killer to finish the job. Despite her self-imposed isolation, Calexa’s ability to see spirits - and the memories she receives from them - guarantees she’ll never be alone, even among the deceased.

She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill - names taken from the grim surroundings where she awoke, bruised and bloody, with no memory of who she is, how she got there, or who left her for dead. She has made the cemetery her home, living in a crypt and avoiding human contact. But Calexa can’t hide from the dead - and because she can see spirits, they can’t hide from her. Then one night, Calexa spies a group of teenagers vandalizing a grave - and watches in horror as they commit murder.

Sookie Stackhouse, die gedankenlesende Kellnerin aus Louisiana, hat zwar ihr Abenteuer mit einem Vampir ohne Gedächtnis heil überstanden, aber ihr Leben ist dadurch nicht einfacher geworden. Jetzt macht ihr eine Familienangelegenheit zu schaffen: Sookies Bruder Jason verwandelt sich neuerdings bei Vollmond in einen Panther. Damit nicht genug, treibt in der Gegend ein Killer sein Unwesen, der es offenbar gezielt auf Gestaltwandler abgesehen hat.

Sookie Stackhouse, die gedankenlesende Kellnerin aus Bon Temps, Louisiana, hat nicht gerade viele Verwandte. Dass unter den wenigen ausgerechnet eine Erbtante (bzw. Cousine) ist, hätte sie nie vermutet. Aber es ist eine Tatsache: Ihre kürzlich verstorbene Cousine Hadley hat sie zur Alleinerbin eingesetzt. Allerdings war Hadley nicht irgendwer, sondern die Gefährtin der Vampirkönigin von New Orleans. Und das macht das Erbe einigermaßen gefährlich...
