I just finished reading the first book and I did like the pilot episode of Blood Ties more. Celluci is more a jerk in the books. I like Dylan's take on him much better than the original. And from just reading the books, I don't get the same chemistry from Vicki and Henry as I do in the show.

I'm probably going to check out and skim through the other books, but as it stands, I prefer the show.
