Adapt Me: Grave Sight

A few days ago it was announced that author Charlaine Harris would be having another of her books series (The Harper Connelly mysteries) adapted for the SyFy channel. The first was HBO's True Blood based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels. The Harper Connelly mysteries follow a young women who can sense the location and last memories of the dead ever since she was struck by lightening as a teenager. Along with her step-brother Tolliver, the pair try to help find missing people, dead bodies, and more. In the first novel Grave Sight, Harper and Tolliver try to help find a missing girl, only to uncover a murder in a small town in the Ozarks.

Kam Miller (Law and Order: SVU) is writing the pilot for SyFy. Its unclear right now if Grave Sight is going straight to series or whether just a pilot has been ordered. When I know the exact details on that I will let you all know.

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with these books since its an adult mystery series but I actually love them more then the Sookie books. While there are only 4 books in the series, I was always holding out hope that they'd be more. Well if these is as close as I get to that then I'll take it! I always thought the novels would work well as a TV series and maybe these will inspire Charlaine or her publisher to put out more books.

If you've read the series, what are your thoughts? Who would you like to see play Harper and Tolliver? Sound off below and as I always promise I will keep you updated on this project as I hear more news.

Thanks to EW for the scoop.

    You're killing me with these ADAPT ME's today.
    I LOVE THESE BOOKS!
    Harper and Tolliver? I was holding out for more than four books too, and honestly - I was so sad when I finished the last one. And SyFy? I'm ALL OVER THIS. I had no idea about this one. You, my friend, have just MADE MY DAY.
