Full of action, passion, heart, and humor, these short stories deliver all Tanya Huff’s fans have come to expect.
My Thoughts: It has been many years since I read the Blood books and met former cop turned vampire Vicki Nelson. It was nice to revisit and make a few stops in her world. I have also read the Smoke series too and enjoyed them. It was also nice to revisit Henry and Tony and the other characters.
There were four Vicki/Tony stories and three Tony stories. The stories were all action-packed and entertaining. I liked the variety of themes of the stories.
All of the stories were entertaining and all were previously published in a wide variety of anthologies. It is nice to have them all in one convenient location.
Favorite Quote:
Never growing old had lost a little of its shine as she watched Mike's hair grey and the lines around his eyes deepen, but being stronger and faster, being able to deal with the human and not-quite-human things that haunted the nights of a big city seemed a fair trade for being helpless between sunrise and sunset.I bought this one.
