For some, the beauty of the Twilight Saga ends with a kindled romance. For others, however, the vampire world is the original allure of the books. This summer, consider expanding your vampire novel repertoire.

Look for these upcoming Sookie Stackhouse releases, and visit Charlaine’s website for more releases:
