Blood Ties
3.5 Stars
On the trail of a killer wreaking havoc across several states, the SCU is called in when human remains are found outside Serenade, Tennessee bearing the hallmarks of the same killer. However, it soon becomes clear that the brutal slaying are a trap for the agents who are now in the crosshairs of a dangerous foe. Who will make it out alive?
Series note: This installment continues the arc from Blood Dreams and Blood Sins. It cannot be read as a standalone.
The suspense plot has potential although it is slow going at times with several parallel perspectives. It does eventually pick up and the twists and turns ultimately make for gripping reading. That said, there are a couple of unanswered questions, such as.
In terms of the romance, I was looking forward to Hollis's book, especially as she and her love interest,, have excellent chemistry. Unfortunately, their relationship is completely overshadowed by the Diana Brisco show, which is disappointing as Diana and Quentin have already had their book, which was only OK. Hooper missed an opportunity here.
All in all, a good conclusion to this trilogy and it will be interesting to see what happens next.
