After I got home from my day of beauty...yes the haircut and a pedi qualify yesterday as just such a day...I started the second Tanya Huff book. I freaking loved it. I swear, there is nothing better than finding a writer and a series to sink your teeth into, no pun intended.
I'm so enamored with Vicki and Henry, I stayed up and finished the whole book. Very fun indeed. It put the icing on the cake of my day. Huff does an amazing job of balancing narrative with dialogue. I also like the way she incorporates such wonderful quirks into her characters. The books are sexy, even though she doesn't have graphic sex scenes....I always have a tough time writing sex scenes, she manages to split the difference. The combination of detective work and the paranormal is perfectly blended and keeps the pace flowing. She handles Henry's back stories in a deft way...Yep, I'm hooked and ready to go buy the second omnibus edition.
I'm pretty sure I won't be writing today. Have several errands to run as well as a few other 'mom' things to do. Looking forward to dinner tonight with my crit buddy. On the menu, gourmet burgers, yummy side dishes and lots of chatting.
