Blood Ties A Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novel Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novels Kay Hooper Books Reviews

This is too far out for me and way too confusing.
The cast are all gifted in paranormal area including one who walks a corridor between life and death and spirits help her to understand what is happening.I could have used one too.It could have been a good book and started off well with the discovery of a dead man who had been tortured.The investigators were pinned down by a sniper and it went down hill after that as far as I am concerned.
The author has a listing of the various agents and their paranormal abilites in the back as well as the meaning of various terms.It was still as clear as mud.
I love the Kay Hooper books. And I think she did a great job with this one. I almost feel as though she read my book review of her last book and answered what I said.

She added a list of characters to the book and detailed in which books they appear.
She added references to each chapter about the books in which events had happened originally.

There were a lot of characters brought up in the book, but not necessarily to their best advantage. I think that she mentioned a lot of them, but they either saw very little action or barely spoke. It cluttered the landscape of the story, rather than enhancing it.

As a whole, though, Kay Hooper always puts out a great story that keeps you coming back for more. And I have to say, no matter what, it's still better than Twilight.
A culmination of the trilogy but confusing in its plethora of characters. The paranormal romances that underlay many of her previous Bishop-related novels is almost completely absent in this one but many of the same beloved characters are revisted. Hollis Templeton and her development seem to take on a greater role in this novel, continuing from the previous and leading to the next. However, with SOOO many characters to track as well as the convoluted nature of the attack, it was a bit much.
I have been a huge Kay Hooper fan for many years. I was very disappointed in the last several books and had decided to not purchase her stuff at all any more but wait for the library copy to be available. I saw this one on sale and decided to give her 1 more try. I'm glad I did. Blood Ties is not as good as the earlier installments (I agree with the other reviewer that said the 1st trilogy is the best) but it is much better than the last 2.

Her writing style is returning to the earlier books and the suspense is definitely back. The story seems to be put together better, like more thought was put into it. This one certainly ties the others together, and had at least one twist I didn't see coming. I prefer stand alone books in a series, and this does not fit that bill. If you have not read the earlier trilogies, don't start with this one. You will not be able to follow the story at all; it's too confusing without the background info. That's my biggest complaint.

I will wait patiently for the next installment, hoping it tells the story of Hollis and Reese. They both fascinate me.
For fans of Hooper's Special Crimes Unit series, BLOOD TIES brings to a conclusion the story of the hidden enemy trying to destroy the SCU and also moves forward the personal relationships of several couples.

THE STORY The Special Crimes Unit of the FBI is made up of agents who possess paranormal talents. Throughout the Blood Trilogy, the SCU has discovered that they have an enemy who is out to destroy the unit and its head, Noah Bishop. Now a series of murders has brought many of the team members to a small town in Tennessee. It appears that the murders have been a lure to bring the team to town in order to destroy them. The team members have to discover who is their enemy and defeat him in a final showdown.

OPINION BLOOD TIES nicely integrates the stories from several other books. While the main interest is the final showdown with their "big bad", I appreciated this book because it finally progressed the stories of several other couples. Diana and Quentin who first began their romance in CHILL OF FEAR finally get a chance to have their relationship be made central to a story. There is also the start of a relationship between Hollis Templeton and Reese Demarco. While not dominating the story, I appreciated that the personal side of the story was not neglected in the gore and suspense of the story. Honestly, I read these stories because I like the characters and I liked that the revelations of the story were built upon the characters and their relationships. For fans of the series, this book brings together so many threads and brings back so many characters that it is like a family reunion (with murders and paranormal intrigue).

WORTH MENTIONING Fans, like me, who were somewhat dejected by the end of CHILL OF FEAR will be happy to know that Diana and Quentin get a great deal of space in this book.

FINAL DECISION This is one of my favorites of the series even though it is one of the saddest in many ways. I appreciated that the story foundation is based on the characters and their relationships. The mystery is tied up in a way that was satisfying.

CONNECTED BOOKS This is the twelfth book in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series. This book is also the third book of the internal Blood Trilogy. Finally, the book is also a sequel of CHILL OF FEAR. While a new reader might be able to figure out all of the players, I think the story does not have much power unless a reader is familiar with the background of the major players and I think CHILL OF FEAR and the first two books of the Blood Trilogy are required reading.

STAR RATING I give this book 4.5 stars.
