This is an absolutely roaring high-paced page turner with the one and only Sonja Blue! Sonja is a vampire for the feminist within any female reader. This is no sultry seduction-artist kind of babe vampire; she's badder than bad, tough as nails mentally and physically, and yet has an admirable code of personal honor at her core.

I first met Sonja in "Sunglasses After Dark", which is excellent. "In the Blood" is even better! Vampire and private eye team up when Sonja meets Palmer, a P.I. with "the sight". Love and partnership build, blossom, and morph into various flavors as the action relentlessly continues. With Palmers help, Sonja continues her hunt for her roots - the vampire who callously created her, and her human parents as well.

A great vampire book, with a flavor all its own.

The chemistry behind the two main characters Palmer and Sonja Blue is incredible. Both characters help each other get through their personal pain while going on a joyride through hell and back. This book is definitely a page turner for Sonja Blue fans.

Supernatural team-up.


When you have a psychic detective vampire slayer, what else would happen? Team-up, sure, nookie too if they happen to be of the appropriate flavour for each other.

With a boyfriend around Sonja is not quite as nasty and unstable, and the search for monsters, especially the vampire that tortured her to start with, and her own parents continues.

Nancy Collins creates an intriguing complex world full of various occult creatures co-existing with normal humans, unfortunately the writing is rarely up to the task of painting a convincing atmosphere for these beings to inhabit, so that it gradually devolves into a series of routine gore-filled encounters. The dialogue is sometimes awkward, too. A disappointment after Sunglasses After Dark.
