I for one haven't read anything written by these authors; however, I have seen a few episodes of True Blood. Boy are they risk--ey. Call me old fashioned, but they made me blush and a little uncomfortable at certain scenes.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of them either, but they seem interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have read the books that inspired the tv series true blood. Wendy it doesn't seem surprising to me that the episodes were so provocative, because the books go into major explicit detail (too much sometimes); maybe more so than the tv series, but I'm not sure because I have not had the chance to watch any episodes yet.
ReplyDeleteYeah the series True Blood is pretty sic and intriguing. I do watch it, but definitely is for 18 and older I would say.
