[...] I wish I were as brave as she is!" [4] Harris said that when writing for Sookie it is, "second nature to me to step into Sookie's skin". [5] Quinn is hot, but not my type. I really love how he takes care of Sookie and how he is risking himself for her.

In True Blood, an HBO series based on the books, this character is played by Stephen Moyer, and first appeared in the BloodCopy.com video “Bon Temps Vampire speaks”, The storyline of Bill differs significantly from that in the novels.

While the extent of his new powers are not fully understood, it has been revealed in season 6 that he is impervious to staking, he no longer needs an invitation to enter a human home, and that he involuntarily has visions of the future. He is also able to command Warlow, Lilith's only known progeny and Sookie's love interest. After drinking Warlow's blood, Bill is able to walk in the sun. Using this power, he is able to kill Governor Truman Burrell and his guards in an effort to save Jessica. These are the books that the popular TV series "True Blood" is based on. Having already seen the show I found the books hard to get into at first. I already knew the plot for the first two books and found it difficult to make my own images of the characters without automatically seeing the actors from the show. Once I got over that I really enjoyed these books. The stories follow the same basic guideline as the show but with some major differences. After reading the books you can see that the writers for the TV show follow the storyline of the books quite loosely, while adding their own flair. I loved getting to know the characters better through the book, I completely fell in love with some characters that meant nothing to me in the TV show.The day arrives for Bill to speak at the club of the Descendants of the Glorious Dead. Sookie attends the talk with Sam, which makes Bill jealous. Bill shares about his time in the Civil War and how he was turned into a vampire against his will; the audience loves him. Afterward, Sam and Sookie have dinner, then he takes her home. He kisses her, but she does not return the kiss. Dead Until Dark, published in 2001, is the first novel in Charlaine Harris' series The Southern Vampire Mysteries. It was adapted into True Blood 's first season.
