  <default_description>Tony, a former street kid, is now a production assistant on a TV series about a vampire detective. But the special effects wizard is actually a real wizard who's come from another dimension-along with a dangerous foe. And Tony will definitely need the help of vampire Henry Fitzroy if he, his friend-and the world-are going to stand any chance of surviving this invasion.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Tony from the Blood Books is now on his own, or as much as Henry will let him, and actually working on the set of a vampire detective show.  Yes, he appreciates the irony.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first volume of the Smoke trilogy. I had read the second volume first and had become intrigued by the power dynamics between two side characters that had implied they'd met behind the main character's back. They meet and there's very very little interaction between them. I was disappoint...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6454058">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the beginning of a spin-off series from the Vicki Nelson Blood series, which I very much liked. Our hero in this series is Tony Foster, who I always had a soft spot for. And it's nice to see Henry again. (No, I don't have a thing for shortish male redhead vampires--why do you ask?)
