A nice read, 3. Oktober 2008

The third in the Blood series about 450-year old vampire Henry and nearly blind, but spunky detective Vicky Nelson. This time a thousand year old Egyptian mummy is on the loose and this might be an enemy that even Henry can't deal with. The story is very different from the TV episodes that are based on it. This one is a lot more light-hearted with the simple morale that you're stronger when you have friends on your side. Except for the prison abuse scene (which was brutal for no reason at all) this flows quite nicely.

      The return of the Mummy, 11. August 2006

Vicky and Henry's third adventure is closer to the Horrorgenre than all the other Blood-Books. It's less funny, but darker. In part this is due to the antagonist, who is really powerful this time and is more of a personality, and in part to Henry, who has good reasons to be scared.All friends of Tony, the streetwise youth, will be pleased, 'cause he has more scenes than in the previous books (btw. Tony has his own series as well: SMOKE AND SHADOWS, SMOKE AND MIRRORS, SMOKE AND ASHES).Entombed in his sarcophagus and unable to die, the High priest of a dark Egyptian deity has been waiting millennia for his release. Now he stalks the streets of Toronto, seeking to rebuild his god's temple and to shape the world to his liking.Henry fears he is losing his marbles. He dreams of the sun which is tantamount to suicidal thoughts for a vampire. Vicky tries to help him through this difficult time, but has her own difficulties with their growing relationship. Therefore she is almost relieved, when Mike Celluci, her ex-partner at the police force and sometimes lover, asks her to help him with two mysterious murder cases in Toronto's museum for Egyptology.

       Can TRUE EVIL ever be removed?, 10. Juni 2000

Henry (Romance writing Vampire) Victory (ex-cop now Detective) Mike (Cop) all work together to over come a Ancient Evil Priest to a long forgotten god.... Henry thinks he's "losing it" because he has started to dream of The Sun. In his fear that he'll kill himself he calls on Vicki for help, as she strives to keep him safe, Mike starts finding odd events in 2 "Heart-Attack" victims deaths. Soon all three paths are crossing, converging to this power raising super-natural evil. Cleverly written, wonderful blend of all my favorite genre of books; Romance, ScFi, Horror & Mystery... Fun, scary & a wee bit sexy.

      and 4 stars.... a good read, 5. Mai 2000

This is one of those books where you're not really sure if it was good or very good. I found that I really liked the three main characters and am interested in how they started out together and how it all ends. Since finishing Blood Lines I have placed an order for the other four books in the series - so that tells me I considered it good. The real telling point for me was when I finished Blood Lines and couldn't bring myself to put it in the "used bookstore" bag. If you are going to read the series, please start with the first book and read them in order. Where that is not really necessary, it does give you some of the history behind the Henry, Vickie and Celluci and they do make some references to past experiences. All in all - I don't think this is a series that should be passed up.

      vampires, detectives and mummies oh my, 3. März 1998

This book starts where the last of the Vicki Nelson books leave off. Henry, the vampire and the bastard son of Henry VIII is having dreams about the sun. He enlists Vicki's help to find the reason behind these nightmares. What they find is a life stealing mummy intent on taking over the city. While this book does not quite measure up to the previous two novels it does a good job a bringing the main characters to the next level of familiarity with the reader. This is an enjoyable series that proves that Ms. Huff is one of the better authors in this genre. A must read for any fan of horror or detective novels.
