From the back of the book:
This is the last story in the Blood Books. Huff believed she was finished with the publication of Blood Pact but says the characters had other ideas. Blood Debt is the result and it ties up some of the unfinished story lines. They aren’t really loose ends, just unfinished.Henry Fitzroy, vampire, writer, and bastard son of Henry VIII, had survived for centuries by obeying the vampire’s code. He did not slaughter needlessly, did not draw attention to himself, and never invaded another vampire’s territory. But now Henry was about to do the unthinkable. He was going to break the code because if he didn’t unsuspecting innocents would die – victims of vengeful ghosts who were invading Henry’s private sanctum, demanding that he help them get revenge on their murderers. Henry could not find the source of these murders on his own, nor could he ignore his unwanted guests. He had only one choice. To call private investigator Vicki Nelson and ask for help. Henry only hoped that he and Vicki would both survive the experience...
Recommendation: I’m sorry to see the stories come to an end, but given the twist involved, it was probably the right decision. Like I said with the first book, if you’re looking for a good vampire series, this one might fit the bill.

ok first off I don't read vampires.. but i did find this statement to be oh so true:
Huff believed she was finished with the publication of Blood Pact but says the characters had other ideas
I wrote my own (trilogy/story but I'm not a writer) and I was amazed that once the characters are established they can really take you in directions you never expected to go! They take over! ..of course I thought they did that with me because I am not a strong person when it comes to telling a story lol. ..so it's nice to hear it happens to "real authors too!" lol
I think I might be a bit warped, but I love vampire stories. But bad-a$$ vampires, not those wimpy sparkly kind that are so popular right now..(sparkly vampires...sheesh....)
Thanks for the recommendation!

It's a common thing, really. Laurell K. Hamilton is quoted as saying: Trust your characters; they know themselves much better than you do.

Henry is definitely NOT a Twilight vampire. He is old school - charming, sexy, and deadly when he needs to be. It was nice to read an 'old-fashioned' vampire story.
