Awful Southern/Louisiana accents (1 more)
Not enough Alexander Skarsgård
So, since I have all the time in the world now, I decided to re-watch True Blood, but, I had to go old school because I am not subscribing to another services. Luckily, I own the first four seasons.
The first season sets up the world of True Blood, the vamps had come out of the closet and some drink the artificial True Blood. Apparently, this Bon Temps town is a hot bed for magical creatures, as the series progresses.
Sookie is the main character, and has a silly name. She can reads minds, and discovers that it doesn't apply to vamps when Bill comes strolling in.
Then someone's going around, killing chicks that associate with vamps in various ways. This is essentially a mystery, and from what I can recall, it does an ok job of following the book. The killer begins to become more obvious as the season goes on, and it's resolved in a super dramatic way.
As mentioned, the Southern/Louisiana accents are pretty bad and annoying to someone from the South, NOT ALL SOUTHERN STATES HAVE THE SAME ACCENTS. Out of all of the actors, Ryan Kwanten is the best.
Of course, there's gratuitous sex, this is an HBO show, but I just fast forward through all of that crap. It really makes the episodes much shorter.

The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

Cowboy detectives Old Red and Big Red find murder on board a train after they sign up with the Southern Pacific as detectives. Can Old Red figure out who the killer is? Lots of great suspense and an ending I couldn't put down. Unfortunately, the language really bothered me.
