Blood Trail is the second book in the Vicki Nelson series by Tanya Huff, featuring a private investigator, a vampire, and a werewolf family. The book is a blend of urban fantasy, mystery, and horror, with a touch of humor and romance. The plot follows Vicki and Henry, the vampire, as they try to stop a killer who is targeting the werewolves of Toronto, who live in a farm in London, Ontario. The book reveals more about the werewolf culture and the relationship between Vicki and Henry, as well as Vicki and Mike, her former partner and lover.
The book has received mostly positive reviews from readers and critics, who praise Huff’s writing style, character development, and originality. Some of the highlights of the book are the humorous interactions between the characters, the suspenseful scenes of the killer’s attacks, and the surprising twists and turns of the plot. One reviewer on Goodreads calls the book “a very good read, better than the first book” and notes that the book is different from the TV show adaptation, Blood Ties. Another reviewer on Challenging Destiny commends Huff for “contorting” the horror genre for her own ends and creating a “page-turner” without relying on conventional elements. A third reviewer on Google Play3 also enjoys the book and says that it has “delightful character development, a picaresque plot, and an almost-pleasant stay in the country-side.”
However, not all reviews are positive. Some readers find the book boring, predictable, or unrealistic. One reviewer on ThriftBooks complains that the book is “a serious doubter” and that the author has “nothing to lose in trying it.” The reviewer also questions the credibility of the main character, Vicki, who eats a grasshopper to impress a teenage werewolf.
Overall, Blood Trail is a book that appeals to fans of urban fantasy, mystery, and horror, who are looking for a fun and engaging read with memorable characters and a unique plot. The book is part of a series, but it can also be read as a standalone novel.
