I'm just happy it's over. I don't think Tanya Huff is a bad writer but Laura Giannarelli certainly isn't a good narrator. The constant squealing of her voice can drive you mad.
This is the last book in the series that I own and was, I believed the last in the series. I mentioned in my review of the previous book, Blood Pact, that this feels a bit like a filler novel - Blood Pacts ending is definitely the more emotive one but Blood Debt does still have the necessary tones of finality about it.
This book ties off a number of the looser ends, we see that the characters have evolved from Blood Price - Tony even makes the point of mentioning it to Celluci - from book to book the evolution is, perhaps not as obvious, but looking between the first and last it is clearly there.
I think the plot is an interesting one - and we haven't had any ghosts before in the series.... but I do wonder why the ghosts appear. I mean, why did the victims of the demon from Price or the mummy from Lines not appear and ask for retribution? The only answer I guess is that the big bad of this book is human and that the powers of the demon and the mummy outweigh the power of the victims to return as ghosts?
Something I *just* realised - out of five books a 'normal' human is the big bad in three of them, and out of the other two you have a double act of 'normal' human and demon, and 'normal' person granted superpowers by their death god and the death god - typically in the vampire novels of this ilk you have supernatural big bad after supernatural big bad (and yes I'm referring to the LKH books here more than anything else) - it is nice to see some that are more grounded...
I don't think this is the best book of the bunch, even if I do tend to read it the fastest. I do wish that it was as good as Pact but Debt just doesn't have the necessary emotional punch for it to be the series best book.

The last in the Vicki and Henry vampire series, I wanted to find out how it ended. I was very disappointed that the TV series only last 1 season as I felt with some better scripts and sometimes acting from the supporting actors it could have lasted a lot longer as it had some excellent ideas and the dynamic of Henry, Celluci and Vicki was very good. I did like the last novel, however, it did become irritating at times the constant ooh I can't stand to be in the same room as you ooh I wanna kill you between Henry and Vicki got old and annoying. Still if you like the series I think you would enjoy the novels.
Vampire haunted by murder victims. Each morning, they scream... taking a life (basically scaring them to death). Either he finds justice for the wandering spirits, or people continue to die around him, every sunset, forever.
Vampires, spirits, body harvesting... it was all very... routine, I guess. Not exciting. And I think I've had enough of Victory Nelson's childishness. Thankfully, the next book leaves her behind.

I love how Tanya Huff writes the perfect mix of humor and seriousness it is the best mix of dark and light. No matter what series of hers I read I find myself thoroughly enjoying it. The main character in this is a kick butt heroine and I love her. I was very sad several years ago that the tv series ended so quickly because Vicki is a great character.
Henry is haunted by a handless ghost; Vicki and Mike help solve the case.
