For THE LAST WIZARD

The immense talent of Tanya Huff was more than obvious in her first novel. Now, the exciting sequel proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt....This is fantasy at its finest, full of electrifying tension and wondrous events. Ms. Huff develops both plot and characters with sumptuous elegance, spinning a magical tale of high adventure and glorious triumph.

--Rave Reviews

For THE FIRE'S STONE

The delightful camaraderies of three unlikely heroes and well-controlled fantasy elements that are integral to the plot make Huff's adventure great fun to read.

--Publishers Weekly

The rising star of Tanya Huff shines brightly in this engrossing fantasy novel....Ms. Huff is a superlative talent who brings freshness and excellence to all of her work, also adding a depth of characterization that greatly enhances the appeal of her inventive fantasy novels.

--Rave Reviews

For GATE OF DARKNESS, CIRCLE OF LIGHT

Huff's real-world fantasy presents an enlightened, compassionate view of the forgotten heroes of urban society. High Recommended.

--Library Journal

Contemporary urban fantasy at its best.

--Locus (year-end wrap-up)

A certain grittiness ... tension and characters developing throughout. Each scene ties into the whole, building dramatically to the final battle....Mixing the old magics with modern settings no longer qualifies as a new or original idea, but seldom has it been done so well.

--Locus (review)

Tanya Huff has a rollicking good time playing with the lighter side of her plot and provides a set of dramatic personae whose fate engage our deeper feelings. (The novel) works its own distinctive charms upon one of the standard plots of the fantasy genre.
Ã

--Toronto Star

Fantasy in the real world has never been more credibly presented than in this fine novel. Readers feel the danger and are moved by Rebecca's power and innocence....Finding our hidden strengths -- and namin and accepting our secret weaknesses -- are strong themes for young adult readers, ones that give this novel the holding power of the absolute best in fantasy or any other genre.

--Emergency Librarian

Ms. Huff weaves the timeless conflict between Good and Evil into something wondrous. The piquant juxtaposition of reality and fantasy continually challenges the imagination, while the delicate precision of her prose pleases the literary palate. Above all, the ineffable magic of her characters and a lyrical exposition of mankind's dual nature will linger in your dreams for many a day.

--Rave Reviews

SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS

For WHAT HO, MAGIC!

Infused with Huff's vivid characters, entertaining action and wry humor. A must.

--Locus

Huff demonstrates how varied are her talents in this collection ... all of them are well above average in a genre that too often tells the same story over and over again. A collection of fantasy that should even please people who don't usually like the form.

--SF Chronicle

WHAT HO, MAGIC! is a strong collection of stories with a great deal of wit and little social agenda; even the lesser efforts are smoothly written and imaginative. Her stories are, for the most part, crisp, quickly paced fantasies that are refreshingly free of social conscience. If you can get past the cutesy title, it's a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

--Tangent Online

For STEALING MAGIC

Her fans will not want to miss it.

--Science Fiction Chronicle

I really enjoyed these stories. They're lighter, fast reading, and they show that Huff is a veteran fantasy author. The reader won't go wrong with this strong, well done group of stories.

--BookLore

For FINDING MAGIC

This collection...celebrates an author praised for smart, funny dialogue, memorable characters and an optimism that's never naive. ...[a] highly entertaining volume.

--Publishers Weekly

A great anthology. It has new stuff to draw you in and previous worlds and characters to bring back memories of her other work. If you are ready for a break from reality--with hunor--grab this one off the shelf.

--SF Revu

BLOOD & SMOKE SERIES

"With the Blood Books, Tanya Huff's earned a permanent place of honor among afficianados of vampire literature."

--Charlaine Harris

For BLOOD PRICE

Huff has a lot of fun playing with vampiric lore, coming up with a character that's an interesting turn on the traditional image of Nosferatu, without losing any of the sexual/dangerous edge that makes such beings so fascinating. Her take on contemporary characters rung true throughout while her clean prose and the quick pace of her plot make for an engaging novel. BLOOD PRICE would make a great movie; as it is, it's the perfect vehicle for a diverting evenings entertainment.

--Mystery Scene

Its the kitchen-sink nature of BLOOD PRICE that imparts much of its charm. This is simultaneously a supernatural thriller, a police procedural, and a romantic fantasy. Author Huff splices it together with breakneck pace, good cutting, and, especially, a fair amount of genuine wit. There is a small flood of vampire books at present, but BLOOD PRICE stands out for its entertaining blend of warmly idiosyncratic characters, cinematic pacing, and sharp-fanged humor.

--Locus

A short, snappy little murder mystery ... The characters are sympathetic and vulnerable and the action moves along nicely. Recommended - roll on the next four installments.

--SF Crows Nest (UK)

It's a fun series.

--Starburst (UK)

For BLOOD TRAIL

One of the most unusual plots of the year. A fine mix of the detective story with the supernatural, and easily Huff's best novel to date.

--Science Fiction Chronicle

A dab hand at creating atmosphere and menace, Huff has no qualms about putting her characters through hell and so keeps the level of tension high throughout. Entertaining. (Reviewed simultaneously with BLOOD LINES)

--Starburst

Wryly funny ... ticks all the right boxes for people who like this kind of thing.

--SF Crow's Nest (UK)

For BLOOD LINES

Huff takes a wild mix of genres and weaves them into a surprisingly successful fantasy-mystery series featuring ex-cop Vicki Nelson. With the help of her ex-partner, Mike Celluci, and her romance-writing vampire sidekick, Henry Fitzroy, Vicki has stopped a demon, helped werewolves find a murderer, and now in BLOOD LINES she tackles a mummy. Not the shambling, gauze-wrapped monster of the movies, however. Huff knows better than to be so predictable. This mummy is a serious magical and political threat ... Having a vampire as one of her lovers adds a weird new dimension to your basic love triangle ... These three characters, with their camaraderie and silly rivalries, keep the tone of the novel relatively light, with little true horror in it ... On the more serious side, this mystery has a very strong and somewhat gritty contemporary setting ... more than entertainment enough.

--Locus

A dab hand at creating atmosphere and menace, Huff has no qualms about putting her characters through hell and so keeps the level of tension high throughout. Entertaining. (Reviewed simultaneously with BLOOD TRAIL)

--Starburst

A great slice of mixed genre thriller/mystery/vampire/mummy kinda thing and adds nicely to the series so far.

--SF Crow's Nest (UK)

For BLOOD PACT

Well done, with truly likeable and interesting characters ... a delightful reversal on the mad doctor theme, plus a delightful reversal of the classic woman in peril vampire plot. It's a great read.

--Locus

If you like fantasy combined with a good mystery, this is the series for you ... Tanya Huff delivers great action and the perfect mix of reality and mystery.

--Sense of Wonder

I did enjoy this series... Good "popcorn" stuff. (Reviewed simultaneously with BLOOD DEBT)

--Starburst

A must read.

--SF Crow's Nest (UK)

For BLOOD DEBT

Readers will stay on the edge of their seats ... smashing entertainment for a wide audience.

--Romantic Times

The best intstallment to date. One of the year's best.

--SF Chronicle

I did enjoy this series... Good "popcorn" stuff. (Reviewed simultaneously with BLOOD PACT)

--Starburst

For BLOOD BANK

Fan's of Tanya Huff's popular Blood Ties series will enjoy this collection of all the short stories based upon her three main characters. Huff's tight writing skills and well constructed storylines assure this anthology a space on the bookshelf of every Blood Ties fan.

--Monsters and Critics

Exciting, short mysteries laced with humor made this a fun and easy read... With a wonderful arrangement of diverse stories, from humorous to more dramatic, this was definitely one of my favorite books of short stories. And Blood Bank is a wonderful addition to the library of any fan of the series.

--SciFi Chick

"With the Blood Books, Tanya Huff's earned a permanent place of honor among afficianados of vampire literature."

--Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Series

For SMOKE AND SHADOWS

An exciting creepy adventure from a popular author.

--Booklist

The author's delightfully light touch lends a sense of timeliness to this effortlessly told fantasy mystery.

--Library Journal

Plot-driven, at a pace worthy of NASCAR, and the characters are well-drawn and compelling. Huff also takes aim with a freshly sharpened stake, skewering conventions with finesse and style. Huff's novel amply demonstrates that genre fiction doesn't have to be junk-food fiction.

--The Globe and Mail

I'm going to want to read this one again, just for the pleasure of Huff's trademark dialogue, her character interactions, her cutting wit and her clever, if black, humor.

--Fantasy & Science Fiction

Lots of action and amusing show-biz details keep things moving for a fun dark-fantasy adventure.

--Locus

Readers will be happy that Huff has returned to this world, blending horror, mystery, and fantasy elements seamlessly for an entertaining read.

--Romantic Times

Suspenseful and well written.

--SF Chronicle

Slippery shadows, snappy dialogue, and enlivened with campy comments ... heavy with fang-in-cheek fun.

--Publishers Weekly

This inventive adventure combines fantasy, horror, and mystery, making a unique stew of unexplainable events, detective work, and things spotted out of the corner of one's eye. Older teens who enjoy dark urban fantasy or mysteries with paranormal elements will enjoy this book.

--VOYA

A must for Tanya Huff fans, it's also well worth a look for anyone who enjoys "behind the scenes" stories about the film industry. Highly recommended.

--Infinity Plus Reviews

Tanya Huff's attempt to make Smoke and Shadows look effortless can't hide the fact she writes well and obviously had almost as much fun as her characters.

--The Guardian (UK)

For SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Huff delights in simultaneously bringing out the worst and best of her characters, and she's really found her stride here. Underneath the supernatural trappings and the nonstop wisecracks is a whodunit full of devious plot twists and genuine character development, and the fune-tuned mockery of (and occassional indulgence in) horror novel/film clichés adds spice.

--Publishers Weekly

It's a wild romp, full of dark humor, a delightfully twisted version of the usual haunted house story.

--Locus

The author of the "Blood" novels has once again proven herself a master of urban fantasy. A good selection for most fantasy collection...

--Library Journal

...enjoyable... Huff is one of the best writers we have at contemporary fantasy, particularly with a supernatural twist, and her characters are almost always the kind we remember later, even when the plot details have faded away.

--Chronicle

There's an excellent plot, innovative concepts, and a really twisted sense of humor running through the pages. I look forward to seeing if Tanya Huff can come up with a third.

--SF Revu

Smooth, assured writing and astute, wry asides about the world of TV make this locked house mystery an easy and enjoyable read.

--Starburst (UK)

For SMOKE AND ASHES

Fans of Buffy and The X-files will cheer the latest exploits of Tony Foster... This spinoff from Huff's popular Blood series stands alone as an entertaining supernatural adventure with plenty of sex, violence and sarcastic humor.

--Publishers Weekly

Frantic demon-fighting action and magical musing provide the thrills, but there's also a lot of humor, with some real laugh-out-loud moments -- and just a bit of romance -- in a truly entertaining mix.

--Locus

...thoroughly entertaining...

--Locus (New & Notable)

Huff's third addition to her "Smoke" series (Smoke and Shadows; Smoke and Mirrors) demonstrates her talent for creating believable suspense out of the most improbable circumstances. Vibrant characters and a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of current TV trends make this a strong addition to most fantasy or horrow collections.

--Library Journal

Huff has brought together elements of two of her most entertaining series in this one. In a spin-off from the series that begins with Blood Price, we have her adroit handling of the supernatural thriller, peopled by a cast of characters who only become more interesting as the series develops. Add to that the sharp, in-your-face attitude of The Keeper Chronicles (and the dialogue that goes with it), and you have, in my opinion, a winner. How good do I think this one is? I read it earlier this week, and am rereading it right now. It's holding up. Not many books do.

--

Start it on Friday night so you can read it straight through to the finish. Recommended.

--SF Revu

QUARTERS SERIES

For SING THE FOUR QUARTERS

Diana Wynne Jones selects her favorite fantasy for The Washington Post Book World:
A favorite book means to me one you reread frequently and know you will enjoy even with flu. Out of a shelf-full of such, the one my hand goes to most unerringly is Tanya Huff's SING THE FOUR QUARTERS. I love this book for being both very funny and wholly serious about the elemental spirits and about justice, mercy, love, kindness and honor. Above all, I love it for its accurate portrayal of exactly how it feels to be pregnant. I don't think this has been done in fantasy before.

A richly complex story set in a magical world that could almost be part of our own history.

--SF Chronicle

It's a great read.

--Locus

Huff has created a romantic fantasy that offers the reader a sometimes feisty but always intelligent, vocal and vigorous heroine. She brings together all of the ingredients of a stirring adventure story set in a mythical kingdom with magical beings and brave men and women and wrongs that obviously must be righted ... a complex plot that is a page-turner ... The charming and magical cover design by Jody Lee should help in attracting readers to this powerful tale.

--Voya

Ms. Huff is a marvelous talent whose vibrant characterizations and intelligent prose make each and every book a very special reading experience. Bring on the next verse!

--Romantic Times

Recommended.

--Starlog

Complex and intriguing, this story adds a bit of gritty realism to the fantasy genre.

--Kliatt

For FIFTH QUARTER

Good fantasy assassin adventure ... distinctive ... Huff has a lot of fun playing with love, in its many permutations: courtly, lustful, incestuous, parental and selfish ... Huff manages to make this more than just another fantasy adventure.

--Locus

Readers are in for a double treat from DAW this month with publication of another topnotch work from Tanya Huff. (Her) clever tale is sheer delight for the intelligent reader. A consummate craftsman, Ms. Huff always entertains us in a myriad of wonderful ways.

--Romantic Times

Tanya Huff has penned a masterful second book of Quarters. Her storytelling is excellent, and her characters are well-drawn. The ending is an interesting twist and quite satisfying.

--Affaire de Coeur

For NO QUARTER

Only a storyteller of Ms. Huff's considerable merit could create the extraordinary characterization to bring this unusual storyline to full and vivid life.

--Romantic Times

Excellent as Tanya Huff always is.

--Affaire de Coeur

KEEPER SERIES

For SUMMON THE KEEPER

No one tickles the funnybone and chills the blood better than Tanya Huff, who does both exceedingly well in her wonderful new novel....With screamingly funny dialogue and sharp plotting, Ms. Huff makes every word a positively delightful experience in this imaginative tale.

--Romantic Times

Plenty of odd characters and touches of unexpected magic and humor to keep things moving, for a contemporary fantasy that's lots of fun.

--Locus

Pick up this gem of a book. Huff tells a great story, but never takes herself or it too seriously. She consciously borrows elements from other books as well as movies, comics and mythology and combines them with her own great imagination to make a thoroughly satisfying story.

--SF Site

A brilliant creation ... uniquely memorable and quirky characters. The story line is riveting with never a dull moment. SUMMON THE KEEPER is a keeper that will summon its readers into buying future novels in the series.

--Midwest Book Review

For THE SECOND SUMMONING

Fantasy readers will enjoy this tale and feel summoned by Ms. Huff to become a series regular.

--Midwest Book Review

Cleverly and wittily done as always ... this is likely to be one of the best contemporary fantasies of the past year.

--Science Fiction Chronicle

Plenty of tongue-in-cheek-fun.

--Locus

Fans of humorous fantasy will enjoy this fast-moving tale, as will cat lovers and anyone else who can suspend their disbelief and settle back for a good time.

--Voya

Huff's wit and satire are so outrageously funny that one wants to keep reading.

--Voya (Teen Reviewer)

For LONG HOT SUMMONING
the #1 Locus bestseller

Fresh, witty and amusing. Great reading for a hot summer night.

--Science Fiction Chronicle

A fantastic and fun read. Huff delivers raucous action and irreverent characters with attitude.

--Romantic Times

A delightful and charming urban fantasy that is both funny and exciting.

--Midwest Book Review

Good fun.

--Locus

Clever, quick and tongue-in-cheek, another entertaining, whimsical tale of the Keepers, one that'll make a great summer read.

--The Greenman Review

I love this series and its tongue in cheek satire of modern life, the mall and the minivan; don't miss it!

--BookLoons

A guarenteed fun time.

--Rambles

A frothy brew of humor, action and magic.

--SF Revu

TORIN KERR SERIES

For VALOR'S CHOICE

The notable Tanya Huff proves herself qually adept at military as as contemporary fantasy in her riveting VALOR'S CHOICE ... Ms. Huff captures the ambiance of an elite military group and adds a rare depth to skillful characterization to make each personality stand up and be counted. Don't miss this one.

--Romantic Times

An intriguing alien race, a likeable protagonist, a fast moving plot, and a rousing ending. What more could you ask for?

--Science Fiction Chronicle

Grabs the attention and doesn't let go. Her writing is as crisp and engaging as ever...I do look forward to seeing if Huff plans any more books set in this same universe.

--Asbolute Magnitude

Readers who enjoy military sf will love VALOR'S CHOICE. Howlingly funny and very suspenseful. I enjoyed every word.

--SciFi.com

For THE BETTER PART OF VALOR

This sequel to Valor's Choice, featuring a gutsy, fast-thinking female space-marine protagonist, establishes veteran fantasy author Huff as an acoomplished spinner of high-tech military-sf adventure. For most sf collections.

--Library Journal

Sure to sppeal to David Drake readers and to Huff's legion of fans ... Huff mixes grit and black humor with grace. The action doesn't stop once it starts, but it's peppered with laugh-out-loud observations ... Huff wins the battle handily. She kicks boredom's butt.

--Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Huff's characerization and knowledge of military subculture bring the book to a suspense-filled and rousing finale once again allowing Torin Kerr to shine in her role as the touch, resourceful and surpremely competant leader.

--Locus

This book is "Rendezvous with Rama" for the rest of us: exciting, mysterious and full of action and puzzles to solve. Torin is everything you want in an action heroine, and this book will leave readers anxious for her next adventure.

--Kliatt

A thriller that is every bit as exciting as STAR WARS. Tanya Huff's latest work is so action packed and colorful it would make a great movie. Torin is a great heroine while the realistic species provide an authentic spin to this vigorous fantastic futuristic tale.

--Midwest Book Review

Torin Kerr is a compelling mix of hard and soft features, witty, capable and fair. Her squad is comprised of clear-cut individuals as well. Huff's flair for battle scenes and her clarity in visual descriptions support the action quite well ... this novel whips along in a succession of well-staged battles.

--SciFi.com (Paul Di Filippo)

For THE HEART OF VALOR

Fast-paced. The intriguing and well-designed aliens and intricate plotting keep the reader guessing.

--Publishers Weekly

One of the refreshing things about Tanya Huff's Confederation series, of which this is the third, is that even though they're essentially military SF, they vary quite a bit from the usual pattern and are interesting as novels as well as military adventures. A nice mystery wrapped up in an adventure story.

--Critical Mass

Rip-roaring military SF. This is Torin Kerr's greatest test to date, and it takes a true heart of valor to get her through her trial.

--SF Revu

Series fans will enjoy this fast-paced adventure, appealing to the same audience as David Weber's Honor Harrington series. A good choice for most sf collections.

--Library Journal

I still read it nonstop. I love Tanya Huff's work (both fantasy and SF) and will happily embard on any reading adventure she takes me on, especially one involving tough as nails Torin Kerr.

--BookLoons

It's a great mix of military action and mystery with lots of twists and fun characters.

--Locus

Huff has written an engaging new installment in the tales of Torin Kerr that is likely to please and hard-core fans of military science fiction who has read the first two books.

--SciFi Weekly

A fast, smooth pace combined with plenty of political machinations and battlefield skirmishes make for a satisfying read. The difficulties that come with several different species being integrated into a single fighting unit add depth and realism. Plenty of questions are raised regarding the Elders, the Others and a strange new life form pave the way for further exciting adventures.

--Monsters & Critics

For VALOR'S TRIAL

Huff's appealing heroine is as fiercely maternal as she is fierce in battle. The denoument is not unexpected, but Huff skillfully accomplishes its exposition while still managing a few surprises.

--Publishers Weekly

It's a great read, a powerful surviving scenario made particularly fascinating by the interactions of multiple species working together.

--Locus

Filled with both action scenes and personal drama, this sf adventure belongs in most libraries.

--Library Journal

A cracking good military yarn. Packed full of intense battle scenes, some great tech toys and snappy dialog, Huff once again demonstrates her prowess as an extremely talented author.

--Monsters & Critics

Fast moving action and an appealing protagonist embellish an interesting plot. The novel is a kind of cross between early Andre Norton and Lois McMaster Bujold.

--Critical Mass

Highly entertaining... I can't wait to find out what comes next."

--Book Loons

For RAVENLOFT™: SCHOLAR OF DECAY

For THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM

-- Publishers Weekly

-- Booklist (Starred Review)

"A delight from start to finish -- by turns humorous, romantic and dramatic. So far, this is easily one of my favorite books of the year."

-- Fantasy and Science Fiction
