Blood Ties

by Kay Hooper Narrated by Joyce Bean

Overview

New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper takes us to the outer reaches of fear in Blood Ties, as the Special Crimes Unit is targeted by a monster intent on destroying both Noah Bishop and his people.

A series of grisly murders has left a trail of blood across three states, bringing the Special Crimes Unit to a small Tennessee town. There, two more brutal killings lure Noah Bishop and the SCU into what may be the ultimate trap, and lead Special Agent Hollis Templeton into a dangerous attraction-and a serial murder investigation that turns very, very personal. In her time with the SCU, Hollis has shown an uncanny ability to survive even the deadliest attacks. But what she can't know is that this killer intends to destroy the team from within. As the body count climbs, and Bishop and his agents race to uncover the true identity of their enemy, not even their special senses can warn them just how bloody, and how terrifyingly close, the truth will be.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2010 - AudioFile

A series of gruesome murders brings the FBI's Special Crimes Unit, led by Noah Bishop, to the small town of Serenade, Tennessee. It will take all of the agents' psychic abilities and special paranormal gifts to aid them in finding the killer, who now has them in his sights. Once again, Joyce Bean clearly demonstrates why she is such a popular and busy narrator. She carefully makes each character distinct while trying to enhance this overly complicated and meandering story line. Despite her best efforts, the story drags, and even her considerable skill cannot stem the listener's desire to get to the end. Not Hooper's best offering. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Publishers Weekly

Too many interchangeable doll-like victims and a by-the-numbers plot mar bestseller Hooper’s conclusion to her paranormal thriller trilogy that began with Blood Dreams and Blood Sins. When a serial killer tortures, dismembers, and dumps eight women in eight weeks in Tennessee and adjacent states, Noah Bishop, head of the FBI’s Special Crimes Unit, gets on the case, along with Noah’s touch-telepath and seer wife, Miranda, and special agent Hollis Templeton, a profiler-in-training and medium who can self-heal and see auras. Hollis and special investigator Diana Brisco, also a medium and healer, travel to the “gray time,” a corridor between life and death where a young spirit, Brooke, helps them connect the killings to a past threat. Series fans and newcomers alike will appreciate the appendixes, which include bios of Special Crime Unit agents and definitions of their various paranormal abilities. (Feb.)
