A family of werwolves (or is that nudists?) involved in a fast paced mystery. This book had a thoroughly satisfying story line, and the author obviously loves dogs, so the werwolves were delightful to read about.

The TV program Blood Ties, about a Vampire living in Toronto and a female private detective, was based on a series of books written by Tanya Huff. This is the second book in the series. I haven't seen a story line on the TV program based on this book – likely because of the nudists – so it makes reading the books well worth the effort. ( )

This must be one of the very first books written in the modern vampire books that seem to be sweeping the fantasy genre right now. Its missing the sophistication that similar books written of late have. This one is the second book of the series and deals with werewolves. I love these werewolves. They are very much not human, but manages to be both very lovable while retaining a bit of wildness. My only complaint is they are written more as dog, rather than werewolf. Also, the alpha wolf, leader of the clan, isn't very well written and set up more as side note. I think the weakest part of the book is the reasoning for the murders. A religious nut and a guy selling werewolf pelts? Its a bit weak. I think that there are better novels of this sort out there, but not one quite like this. ( )

Vicki takes on a case of murder involving a pack of werewolves. One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is how Vicki's weaknesses - her failing eyesight - are shown and become part of the story. ( )

Another strong Vicki Nelson book. We get a new paranormal element in
this book in the form of werewolves. Not as good as the first book.
*SPOILER* I really hate the cliché religious wacko characters that
authors sometimes use. I find them insulting to all readers. ( )

See Blood Price. ( )
