All of Tanya Huff’s short stories featuring homicide cop turned P.I.
Vicki Nelson, her partner Mike Celluci, and vampire Henry Fitzroy.
"This Town Ain't Big Enough" is a sequel to Blood Pact, where Vicki
has to deal with another vampire encroaching in her territory.
Suspenseful and intense, this was probably my favorite short story.
"What Manner of Man" takes place in Henry's past, where he tries to
track down a spy. This was another fun one with plenty of intrigue, in
the Regency era setting.
"The Cards Also Say" is another that follows Blood Pact. This time, Vicki hears an ominous message from a psychic.
"The Vengeful Spirit of Lake Nepeakea" follows Vicki and Mike to a
remote lake that the locals say harbors a monster. This story had plenty
of humor surrounding the mystery.
"Someone to Share the Night" stars Henry who begins to feel a little lonely, so he takes out a personal ad.
"Another Fine Nest" involves Vicki and Mike tracking down
blood-sucking underground bugs. This was very suspenseful, with a high
"ick factor."
"Scleratus" is a darker story, where Henry remembers his bloody past.
"Critical Analysis" involves Vicki and Henry trying to solve an
impossible murder. These are always my favorite kind of murder
mysteries.
"So This Is Christmas" throws Vicki into the role of Scrooge for this entertaining holiday tale.
