First off, I have to say I loved this series with all my heart. Sadly, I feel that after Vicki's 'change' she turned into a whole new character that I felt was harder to relate to. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I didn't feel as connected to the character as I had in previous books.
That being said I still enjoyed the last volume of this series. I'm usually not a huge fan of short stories but I loved the way these managed to flesh out and finalize the books. The only complaint I have is the LACK OF EDITING that seemed to be going on in the short stories. Yes, they're all from different anthology collections but how long can it take to RE-EDIT before compiling them into one set? Honestly, it did take a bit away from the stories as I read them.
I will definitely be reading her Tony spin-off books!

I've already reviewed the first part of this book- the last book in the Vikki Nelson series. The second part was a collection of short stories about the same characters.
They were okay. I hit the ones written from 2001 to 2006, and they were the best written, the most interesting, actually things I was entirely enjoying reading. Looking forward to reading more of her recent work.

"Only" four stars for this edition becuase I only bought it to get the short stories, which I loved, but I would have wished that a single edition for "Blood Bank" had been out at the time.

I'm not a big fan of the cover, but I really enjoyed the books. Blood Debt is a great story of Vicki and Henry finding their place after The Big Change, and the short stories do a great job of giving us glimpses of Henry's backstory and both his and Vicki's life after the change. I have heard she's not planning to write any more Vicki Nelson stories, and that makes me sad.
