Andrew's Reviews > Blood Price

I will admit I wasn't quite sure what I was letting myself in for - I have read other books by Tanya Huff and really enjoyed them, and yes I had seen the TV series that was based on this series (very loosely mind you) but I didn't really know what to expect.

Yes I guess it is the first really venture in to the genre of supernatural (ok Vampire) detectives and yes the story has tried to give them a more humane if not human view point (rather than the slavering killing machines of some stories) so I guess I was treading lightly just in case.

So what did I think - well I will admit I had a little bit of impatience after all I knew what needed to be done and yet it took a considerable number of pages before the two main characters crossed paths let alone agreed to work together. Now for the new arrival I guess its all scene setting and preparation but for me it was getting awfully close to skipping ahead till something actually happened (apart from the body count rising).

But once we got past that little hurdle the story did pick up a pace and the banter and dialogue started to flow as I had hoped - and yes the conclusion set up the series quite nicely and did nothing to alienate me (with all my preconception baggage in tow).
