What is the author's style in Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris?

Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris is written in the first person, with Sookie Stackhouse, the main character, as the narrator. Harris uses equal parts dialogue and descriptive passages throughout the story, though sometimes the dialogue is an internal conversation that the main character is having with herself. Other times it is simply the thoughts of other characters to whom Sookie is reacting. The descriptive passages are most often used to clarify the feelings of the main character, or to provide some back story for a character or situation.
