Tessa Gray is the perfect operative to try to infiltrate
the Church of the Everlasting Sin run by a self-proclaimed
prophet and man of God. This mountain fortified compound
houses the leader and his devout followers, many of whom
have psychic abilities. Tessa has been recruited to become
a part of Haven, which is a civilian group of psychics who
help the Special Crimes Unit solve those particularly
special crimes that cannot be resolved by normal means.
She has exactly the personality and demeanor that the
highly psychic leader of this group preys on and they have
already started coming after her.
Head of the SCU, Noah Bishop, has carefully selected Tessa
to be the next one to try to get evidence against the
leader of this cult, who just may be one of the most
dangerous serial killers they have ever faced. Tessa
agrees to give it a shot although she's not totally
convinced of the strength of her own psychic abilities.
But she finds out there are children at risk and she
refuses to back down even when it seems that her own life
is in danger.
Kay Hooper began her different series of books involving
Noah Bishop long ago and has been tantalizing and
terrifying readers with them ever since. If you haven't
ever read one of the Bishop and SCU books, you may want to
go back and start with the first ones before reading this
one because there are recurring characters you will keep
running into in each of the books. All of them have
psychic abilities of various kinds and to different
degrees. Tie this in with some of the most romantic scenes
ever written and you will be hooked on these books from
the first one.
In BLOOD SINS, there is not really so much romance as
there is a hint of what may come between two of the
characters. The full focus is on the compound and how to
stop the evil that is going on there. While not quite as
frightening as some of Ms. Hooper's other books in the SCU
series, it does definitely have its moments, along with a
few surprises that no one will see coming.
BLOOD SINS is a must read if you are a fan of Kay Hooper
and her wonderfully scary world of psychics and serial
killers.
Young, vulnerable, attractive, Tessa Gray looked like the
perfect victim. Which was why Noah Bishop of the FBI’s
Special Crimes Unit recruited the novice operative to use as
bait for a killer hidden inside the Church of the
Everlasting Sin–a fortified mountain compound where at least
two women have already been murdered in ways that defy
explanation. By entering the cult’s compound, Tessa will
expose herself to the dark magnetism of its leader and his
fanatically loyal followers. Once she’s inside, no one, not
even Bishop or the town’s chief of police, can guarantee
she’ll come out alive. And not even Tessa knows if she’s
strong enough to resist the lure of a killer who is less
than human.
