Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-05 00:00:00 Jaboheem Dickson Blood Dreams is the 10th book in Kay Hooper's Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Series about a group of psychics that solve serial killer crimes. This is the book that introduces Haven, a private organization that was set up by millionaire John Garrett and his psychic wife, Maggie Barnes to help psychics with dealing with their powers and whilst they work along with the Special Crimes Unit, they are in no way affiliated to the FBI. Dani Justice, whose psychic ability is that she can often predict the future in her dreams, has returned home after being away for years to be with her twin sister, Paris, who has just gone through a very ugly divorce. Soon she's thrown into helping the local enforcement agents to finding a serial killer that had been on a murder rampage in other cities and has now traveled from his last place to her home town. Once again the author gives us no clue who the killer is. All he knows is that he/she possesses strong psychic abilities and is able to enter Dani's dreams. I enjoyed this story but it's not the best one in the series. I would have liked Dani and Marc, the local sheriff's relationship to be a bit more developed. I just never got to know the two that well. I would have also liked seeing a bit more romance and more about their relationship. I liked seeing characters that I have come to know from the previous books, Noah and Miranda Bishop (not enough of these two!!), Hollis Templeton….who is a really interesting character and hopefully we will have her own book soon, A hint that there's something more going on with the serial killer, who is chillingly and scarily evil. The mention of a Prophecy and a feeling that there is some kind of conspiracy that wants to harm people with psychic powers. A twist at the end??? Of course!!!! Again, the most unexpected one. This is such a good and really unique series.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-15 00:00:00 James Tubb Tenth book in Kay Hooper's Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series about a group of FBI psychics that solve serial killer crimes. Dani Justice returns to her hometown of Venture, Georgia to spend time with her twin Paris, following the sister's ugly divorce. Both of the twins have psychic abilities. Dani can dreamwalk, allowing her to see the future, and Paris can control electricity. There are grisly murders in Venture, by a serial killer the SCU has tracked from Boston. Women from the small town are missing and the remains of some are chopped to bits and displayed to leave a message. The local Sheriff, Mark Purcell, was once Dani's sweetheart, and is open to the SCU's unconventional investigation. Dani is wracked with guilt as she is unable to interpret her recurring dream that an SCU Agent is kidnapped, imprisoned in the basement of a burning building, with the serial killer setting a trap for Bishop and his agents. I felt that the character development was weak in this one, with too much focus on the identity, motives, and powers of the killer. The continuous revisitation of Dani's morphing dream was tiresome.
