Brief Summary: A few years back the Japanese perfected the creation of synthetic blood. Vampires "came out of the coffin" and announced their existence to the world. Some people took to them kindly and even became vampire groupies. Others such as the Fellowship of the Sun church are against vampires and deny thier existence as citizens. Louisiana has one of the highest populations of vampires in the US. The story lies in Bon Temps where Sookie Stackhouse works at Merlotte's bar and girl owned by Sam Merlotte who is secretly a shapeshifter.
Vampire Bill Compton has returned to his old home in town and is stirring up gossip in the town. Sookie and Bill are falling in love now.Vampires have their own secret system of government and control. The queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq lives in New Orleans and watches over the state. Eric Northman vampire sheriff of Area five has an interest in Bill's love Sookie. He and Pam run the vampire bar Fangtasia in Shreveport nearby.
Jason Stackhouse, Sookie's sister is the town ladies man. Him and buddies Hoyt and Rene and Lafayette work on the road crew in Renard Parish. Tara Lafayette's cousin and Sookie's lifelong friend just got hired at Merlottes. The town is small but full of life and secrets.
The rest of the world has so much to hide and Sookie is starting to find out what else exists. From werewolfs and shapeshifters. Witches, Dwarfs, Fairies, Demons, Goblins, Maenads and endless other things are running around hidden from the rest of the world.

I know there are those who haven't finished the whole True Blood series/books quite yet. So I thought I'd be nice enough to post up a small summary of our story.
So here it goes:
Following the creation of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. Sookie Stackhouse is a telepath and waitress at Merlotte's in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, owned by Sam Merlotte a shapeshifter—though this secret is kept hidden. One night, Sookie meets Bill Compton, a handsome 173-year-old vampire who has returned to Bon Temps following the death of his last remaining relative. As she cannot hear his thoughts, she finds it easy to be in his company. At the end of the season, they fall romantically in love.
Season 1 :
The main mystery of the first season concerns the murders of women (Dawn, Maudette, Amy, and his grandmother) connected to Sookie's brother, Jason. It also focuses on Sookie's relationship with Bill and Sam's relationship with Sookie's friend Tara. Bill explains the rules of being a vampire to Sookie and, after he finds himself killing a vampire named Longshadow to defend Sookie, he is forced to turn a young girl, Jessica, as punishment. In the last episode of the season, this new vampire is left with Bill under his care. After Maudette and Dawn's murders Jason becomes addicted to vampire blood and has a short relationship with another addict, Amy, which ends when she is murdered by Drew. At the end of season one, Jason joins the anti-vampire movement Fellowship of the Sun and seems to be clean.
(Oh don't forget Sookie's cat is also murdered )
Season 2:
This season has several overlapping plots. Lafayette is imprisoned by Eric, Jason joins the anti-vampire Church of the Fellowship of the Sun, Maryann causes mayhem in Bon Temps, and Jessica begins to slowly accept her new condition after inadvertently causing conflict between Sookie and Bill. A mysterious new creature appears on the scene whose motives are as yet unknown. Tara begins a relationship with Eggs, the ex-criminal living with her at Maryann's home. She also becomes increasingly suspicious of Maryann. Jessica finds a love interest in Hoyt. Lafayette is freed from Fangtasia's basement after Sookie strikes a deal with Eric. Jason starts having doubts about his involvement with the Church of the Fellowship of the Sun. Daphne, a new waitress at Merlotte's, has some secrets of her own.
I know its lengthy but what's a girl to do? There is bound to be more that I'm going to add but for right now this seems to be enough.
