Sookie Stackhouse is telepathic. That means that she can read people’s minds.
She “hears” the voices in her head or sees images. Sometimes the transmission is not so clear and she she only able to pick up words or emotions.
She can “hear” some people better than others.
When she concentrates she can block it out and prevent herself from reading other people’s private thoughts.

Her family, best friends and boss now about her ability. Others think that she is psychic or just plain crazy.

She is not able to read the mind of vampires because they have no brainwaves.
