emma_in_dreamIt is hard to believe that Tanya Huff began the *Blood Price* series nearly twenty years ago. They’ve held up well as urban fantasy. Plus, with her intelligent vampire Henry, she was an early rider of the paranormal romance wave.
The *Blood Price* series charts the adventures of Vicki, a Toronto detective who was forced into early retirement from the Police force by her deteriorating vision. Matched against her lack of night vision is Henry’s inability to work during the day. The two work together to solve paranormal crimes.
In *Blood Price* Vicki inadvertently gets involved in pursuing a murderous demon controlled by a teen loner. In the process she meets Henry, a 450 year old vampire who was born Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, and considers her relationship with her ex-Police partner Mike. In *Blood* she investigates a series of grisly murders against a pack of opera-loving werewolves.
Zippy plots, good characterisation, a competent heroine, a rounded cast of supporting characters, including some casually introduced gay and lesbian relationships - what’s not to like?
