Blood Lines (#3)

Previous: Blood Trail (#2) | Next: Blood Pact (#4)

An evil being has been sealed away for centuries in a sarcophagus never meant to be opened, waiting patiently for his chance to rise again. Now, brought to the Egyptology Department of Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum, the seals and spells that imprisoned him chipped away from his discoverers, he has reached forth to claim the minds and souls of Toronto’s unsuspecting citizens. And only three people had any sense that something was wrong….

For Henry Fitzroy, it began with terrifying images of the sun, a marker of death for a vampire. Fearing for his sanity, he turns to his sometimes-lover, private investigator Vicki Taylor, for help. As the two struggle to cope with Henry’s obsession, Vicki’s closest friend and former partner Mike Celluci, is following up on two mysterious deaths at the museum, certain that a force from beyond the grave is responsible for everything.

Reviews

“Huff takes a wild mix of genres and weaves them into a surprisingly successful fantasy-mystery series [...] this mystery has a very strong and somewhat gritty contemporary setting [...] more than entertainment enough.”

Locus

“A dab hand at creating atmosphere and menace, Huff has no qualms about putting her characters through hell and so keeps the level of tension high throughout. Entertaining.”

Starburst

“A great slice of mixed genre thriller/mystery/vampire/mummy kinda thing and adds nicely to the series so far.”
