Ends and Beginnings

 So, I'm about 2 days late posting this, but I did finish the Blood Books by Tanya Huff.

We start with Blood Debt, which starts roughly a year after Vicky returns from Vancouver, having learned to be a vampire from Henry. Problem being, Henry is waking up to some really angry ghosts seeking vengeance on who killed them. (Not Henry, obviously.) This requires Vicky and Mike to drive from Toronto to Vancouver to help Tony and Henry figure out who is killing street kids and why. Along the way, Mike gets kidnapped by the bad guys, and everyone reevaluates their relationships. (Indeed, Henry and Vicky have to work around Vampiric territorial issues, Tony looks at moving on, Mike begins to respect Henry...etc.) 

The second part, Blood Bank, is a collection of short stories, most of which take place after the events of the previous volume. It's kind of a mixed bag, with monsters of the week, Henry's history, Vicky going through Dickens, but they're all quite fun. 

I'm happy I reread the series. It remains amusing.
