Watched Blood Ties oh so long ago and was really disappointed when it was cancelled. I saw the whole collection of books at the library while shelving the other day and have been meaning to check them out, so I took Fate's advice.
I really like Huff's style. She is a writer with experience. She can paint a picture clearly using only what few words are necessary. A sentence here or there and you will see it in your head, rather than paragraphs or, the gods forbid, PAGES of scenery descriptions. I hate that!
It was tough at first to differentiate the face of the actors from the face of the book characters, but I got it pretty good after a while. The ending felt a bit anti-climactic, but maybe that's because I already knew what to expect.
I'm impatient to step into the next book, though. I barely remember the show, but I definitely noticed some differences. Also, there is a whole other series of books spinning off from this series, so I can't wait to pick those up as well.
