The third volume contained an interview with Charlaine Harris as a bonus feature.If you've read Harris's SOUTHERN VAMPIRE MYSTERY series (aka SOOKIE STACKHOUSE, aka TRUE BLOOD), you're in for a totally different experience with this series-no vampires, no werewolves, just a fascinating psychic with a tragic history. If you haven't read the series, you'll have the advantage of reading all of the books in direct sequence-no waiting for the next one to be published.
