I hadn't watched the Bloodlines shows or read the books, I'm not sure why I bought this book but it took me awhile to finally read it and then I was hooked. I went back to the very first book and of course bought the third and am waiting for the rest. I have lent this book to friends and they are now hooked. I very first gave it to a good friend who is gay, I told him the main character seemed like someone I would have as a friend, he reminds me of many of my favorite gay friends. He's just a really nice guy, who's a wizard in training. If you like Dresden Files you'll probably love this series. The regular characters win a place in your heart and they get better with each book. This is a haunted house book but not like any other I've ever read. The thought of someone who is a vampire's "friend" working on a CBC production of a Vampire detective show is just funny. I hate people who tell you the story, that's why you read, but if you like the paranormal, are comfortable with gay issues, but this is wonderfully handled, I think you'll love this series. The vampire is a minor character in many ways. I love Tony, the lead character, I bet you will too. As I said, I'm hooked.

Smoke and Mirrors is the middle novel in the Smoke trilogy which tells the continuing story of two characters from Tanya Huff's Blood... series. Henry Fitzroy is a vampire, retired nobility and romance writer who, with lover/friend Tony Foster, has moved to Vancouver. Tony is the real star of these stories - grown up from a trouble making street kid into an adult determined to make his way in the city's vibrant filmmaking business. Tony has landed a job as junior assistant gofor in the production company of a vampire detective TV series. A production company with a knack for falling into supernatural traps.
Tony discovered that he has the makings of being a wizard in the previous volume. Despite this potential, Tony really just wants to be your basic production assistant with a cute boyfriend. Unfortunately, life (or rather, unlife) has different plans for him. Sure enough, when the company rents a spooky old house to film in for a week you can bet that it's not just the atmosphere that is spooky. A whole host of ghosts lurk in the corners re-enacting their violent endings. It seems that the house has a particularly unpleasant history. Lurking in the basement is something that wants everyone to die screaming and fuels its effort to ruin the neighborhood.
Tony, as a neophyte wizard is the only one who is aware of all that is going on. In short order he is trying to keep everyone alive (fails), keep the cameras running (fails), and get the ghost problem under control (fails). Henry flies to the rescue, but this is a locked house crisis, and the simple fact is that Tony must work through his personal issues and solve the mystery of the strange force in the basement all on his own - or with the aid of a few helpful ghosts and some very paranoid movie people.
Tanya Huff is too well established a writer for it to be necessary for me to laud her skills. Smoke and Mirrors, like all the volumes before, continues to present an approach to the vampire/supernatural thriller that combines an intelligent story and good characters into a whole that will always please a reader interested in more than blood oriented bodice rippers. I'm looking forward to reading the subsequent volume, and believe that you will quickly become a fan if you aren't already.

I loved this installment to Huff's Smoke trilogy. Tony and crew head to a real haunted house to an episode for the series Darkest Night. Although, some may view the haunted house as a cliche, I loved the irony of it. The jaded view of the film industry was so funny. I laughed out loud many times throughout the book.
