Summary: A Werewolf Hunting Sharpshooter
Review: This is the second book in the Vicki Nelson/Henry Fitzroy series. Vicki's life is just getting back to normal after her demon-hunting escapade in the last book when Henry, a 450-year old vampire, gives her a call. He introduces her to two of his friends, who just happen to be werewolves. They need her help to find the person responsible for shooting two members of their family while they were in wolf form. Vicki cannot say no and travels out to the countryside with Henry to take the case. There she struggles to find someone with the skill to shoot the wolves while learning about werewolf culture and exploring her relationship with Henry and her sometimes boyfriend Mike Celluci.I enjoyed this book more than the first book as I felt that the characters were more fully developed. Vicki and Henry become more three-dimensional and the werewolves are simply delightful to read about. The twins, Peter and Rose, and Daniel, their younger cousin, provide touches of humor and playfulness to the plot. It was interesting to see how Tanya Huff differed in her description of werewolf culture compared to other authors in her genre. She brought out much more of the wolf in their character than the human aspect. First of all, werewolves are born that way and you cannot be turned into a werewolf. The werewolves stay in packs with a dominant alpha male and female, who are the only two allowed to breed (just like wolves in the wild). Many werewolves are born as twins and find it very difficult to be separated from them. They have a hard time going to school as they find it too confining to wear clothes and to be apart from others of their kind. There are many other interesting aspects of their culture, as well. I gave the book 4 stars because, although I really enjoyed learning about werewolf culture and loved the werewolves themselves, there is still not a lot of depth to the plot. It was pretty obvious who the murderer was as the author only introduces you to a few characters so that was a little disappointing because I love a good mystery. Still, this book was very enjoyable and most readers who read this genre will find it a pleasant way to pass the time. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to find out if it keeps getting better...

Summary: Not bad...
Review: This series gets stale fairly quickly. This book in particular was so so, the werewolves were interesting, but not so much the rest. I apologize for the pun, but it just doesn't have the bite of other vampire series, such as Laurell K. Hamilton or Rosemary Laurey.

Summary: If you like Laurel Hamilton, you'll like Tanya Huff
Review: This was the second in this series that I read and while the first one (Blood Price) was very good, this one went on to be great. I am a great Laurel Hamilton fan and have added Tanya to my gotta read list. The book continues with the lover-partner relationship between ex-Toronto police detective Vicki Nelson and 450 year old Vampire Henry Fitzroy. Henry drags Vicki into the country (I don't think she's ever been out of the city!) onto a Sheep farm run by werewolves. The werewolve family is extremely cute with a great sense of humor. But with someone killing them one by one with a high powered rifle, they need Vicki and Henry to help figure out who it is and stop them. Tanya weaves some romance, along with the requiste jealousy, with mystery in a way that keeps you reading. Must go now and read the next one in the series!
