Comments on: REVIEW: Blood Dreams by Kay Hooper http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/01/09/review-blood-dreams-by-kay-hooper/ Book reviews, industry news, and commentary from a reader's point of view Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:33:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Belinda http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/01/09/review-blood-dreams-by-kay-hooper/#comment-118200 Belinda Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:31:25 +0000 http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2008/01/09/review-blood-dreams-by-kay-hooper/#comment-118200 Maybe I'm just tired of Bishop's all-knowing, all-seeing shtick, but I didn't like this one. I DID think the dream sequences were repetitive (I kept wondering why they kept having to ask her where the freakin' stairs were if she'd told everyone about the dream in detail every time she had it) and the rest of the story moved at a snail's pace. There's no way to get any clue about who the villain is, and I was hugely annoyed by the ending. I'm usually a pretty big Hooper fan, and I'd been waiting for this one, but I'd give it a C- at best.

I'm shocked. In the first few books she was far better with the romance than the suspence, then she seemed to go off the romance and get no better at concocting a suspense plot. Anyone who hasn't read the earlier books there is a spoiler below, you've been warned. I gave up on her after suffering through things such as she had someone look at a box of skeletal remains and come up with age and [i]weight[/i]. Then there was the one where a person disappeared from one location and reappeared in a cabin some distance away and this crack law enforcement team never searched the structure of a pretty small cabin for anything like oh, some evidence of who took the person there which might have lead to the discover of a tunnel that lead back to the first location.
