...but this was one was a bit too like that. I do find it hard to wholly accept crazy action plots unless the writer is extremely convincing, and Huff's plotting can sometimes feel like you're in a plot speedboat (you know the ones) skimming along the surface of the story at ridiculous speed.
Okay, I never made a speedboat analogy for plots before but I quite like it.
It's fun and charming, like all her writing, but I do keep wanting more depth in the characters.
Tony's romance with Lee was resolved, but unsatisfyingly. The slashy romantic in me wanted more pages devoted to it at the end, rather than the little bit it was allowed. Still, she knows how to tease the reader and I assume she'll be writing another one. If she does I'll be buying it because - light and crunchy plot!
Oh, and I love the TV production company setting a lot. All those details about the cheesy vampire detective show never fail to make me giggle.

I read this series after I finished the Blood series and I loved them. Henry became a more 3D character, and the backstory was really interesting. The only complaint I had was that it felt like "putting down the last bite of doughnut and forgetting where I put it".When I finished reading this book I was left feeling incomplete. The story arc seems to have been left under-developed. So... great stories ,but there should have been more.

I read so much stuff set in the U.S. that reading something set elsewhere almost feels rare. Thanks to this author, I have Canada to read about...and in this case, Vancouver. It's a hotspot for television filming where wizard Tony Foster works on the set of Darkest Night, about a vampire detective. And it just so happens that a stuntwoman's tummy is marked with runes to keep a mega-demon named Ryne Cyratane away. I think. Okay, I found the plot confusing, but the novel is nonetheless a good time, with humour that's actually funny (which is more than I can say for some of the authors I've had the misfortune of reading). I'd read the first book in this trilogy beforehand, but the second doesn't seem available in my neck of the woods. And I still haven't got my hands on the author's Vicki Nelson books yet. I demand more readily available Canadian fiction!
