Thief of Lives by Barb and J.C. Hendee

Description: On the heels of Dhampir, Barb and J.C. Hendee's acclaimed Fantasy debut, comes Thief of Lives, the new novel featuring Magiere and Leesil, Slayers of the Undead.... Magiere the dhampir thinks that her nights of hunting vampires are over. After settling down in her newly adopted village of Miiska — now vampire-free, thanks to her and her half-elf partner, Leesil — she looks forward to quiet days tending to her tavern.  But far away in the capital city of Bela, a prominent councilman's daughter has been found dead on her own doorstep... and all signs point to a vampire. Knowing that the battered and burned village of Miiska could use an infusion of cash, Bela's town council offers a generous bounty to the dhampir if she will slay their vampire. Magiere resists, wanting nothing more than to forget her past and ignore her half-vampire nature. Only Leesil can persuade Magiere to follow her destiny — before more innocent lives are claimed by darkness.

Hooray! Hooray! We've been waiting all year for this second installment by our ex-patriot Muscovites. Half-vampire, half-human, all hunter. Half-elf, half-human, all killer. Half-fantasy, half-light horror, all fun. The only negative comment is now I have to wait until Jan 2005 for the next adventure.--Review by BookPerson, Ivan Peterson (1.11.04)
