Rating: Summary: ho hum Review: Okay, the first few books were interesting. I've disliked Vicki, the main character through all of them, but have kept reading the series for the simple reason that the plot and vampire were entertaining. This one has been horrible. Now Vicki is a vampire herself. If you thought she was an egotistical pain before, she is ten times that now. I am going to have to think hard before reading another from this series.
Rating: Summary: Mixed well. Review: T.H mixes mystery and horror well, and shows us the "romantic interludes that are trying to happen. This is a must have for your personal library! Spooky, scary,and it gets your heart pounding! I also recommend "Eternal Undying Love" by Brett Keane
Rating: Summary: A fun read Review: Tanya Huff has a talent for writing fun, imaginative novels that capture the interest -- without demanding too much from the reader. While they are on the surface fluff -- there is a depth and a thought beneath the surface that catchs the attention. They are easy entertainment, and are the type of book I take on an airplane to distract me.Tanya Huff is an excellent author and I enjoy all of her works.

Rating: Summary: Vampires are people, too Review: Tanya Huff has managed to create vampires with real feelings, real relationships, real passions. She writes with zest. Her stories hold the interest of her readers. Her characters have feelings. Blood Debt is the fifth book in a series featuring a strange love triangle composed of the vampire son of King Henry VIII, a vampire female detective from Toronto and a human Toronto police officer. In Blood Debt, ghosts seek vengeance, and our three protagonists set out to find the murderer responsible for the ghosts. Ms Huff writes with more than a touch of humor. The police officer, in the midst of an escape attempt gone awry, asks himself: What was that plan again? Let him beat you sensless and then escape in the confusion?....Oh, good plan. As with most well-written series, its most satisfying if the reader starts with the first book in the series (Blood Price) and continues through the series chronologically.

Rating: Summary: Leave it to Vicki to say "To Hell with tradition" Review: The tradition that 2 Vampires can't be in the same territory... Henry is being "Haunted",by a ghost with no hands & when he can't Help the wraith, it's killing innocent people. So once again the group teams up to "FIX" the problem. BUT Victory & Henry can not bare to be near each other,,,, & then it gets complicated. Fast, exciting read, frightening as we learn why the ghost is in so much pain and as our 3 Heros strive to find the answers and save lives. I'm very sad to see this end, I'll miss Vicki, Henry, Mike & Tony. I know we could see more in the future, but this read like a wrap to me.
Rating: Summary: Ghosts! Review: This is the fifth and final book in a series by Tanya Huff.In this one, Henry, is being harassed by some ghosts, and he enlists, Vicki--who he's been separated from for a year for a very good reason, and Mike to help him find the answers of why these ghosts are harassing him.This is the end of a great,and wonderful series. ::sniff::
Rating: Summary: Vampires, Cops, Violence... Oh,My!! Review: When a person reads this book they will most likely admire Victory Nelson for her courage, laugh at the street-wise Tony, love the boy-scout Celluci, and feel for the tormented Fitzroy. A nice ending to the series, it holds insights to how people deal with unexpected mixed blessings. Since written by a human, there are slight flaws, but none that take away from the violent, romantic, thoughtful story that the writer weaves around you.
Rating: Summary: Nice final story Review: xcellant book. Nicely ties up a number of the loose ends from the previous "Blood" books, yet leaves just enough of an opening that she could bring it up again. That being said, I hope she doesn't. I like Vicki Nelson and the relationships that are built in this series. However, with the constant taste of violence in their relationships towards each other (the violence, as well as the relationship), I'm not sure that bringing them together (closely) would be a good idea in the long run...something akin to playing with nitro glycerin, just to see what would happen. Huff's a good writer. And, long run, should she write another book in this series, I'll likely get it. But I'll have bloody high expectations of her. And with good reason...she rarely lets me down.
