I got hooked watching the series when I noticed them On Demand on our cable, and ended up watching 5 episodes in one day! (I need to get a life). Can't wait for Season 2 - I wanted to read the books, but our library doesn't carry them, and can't afford to buy them right now. My daughter is reading the House of Night series, and I enjoyed reading them. She's 14, and they're a little racier than Twilight, but good for young teens - but she definitely won't be watching or reading True Blood!
