I waited and waited for this book. I added it to every wish list available to see how I could get it quicker. And well.....I'm bummed. Yes, I think that this gets us closer to the end when it comes to Bonnie, and figuring out how Eve and Joe are going to make it, but this is not nearly as good as
It's a good mystery. And it brings in Megan Blair from a past book in the series. Megan's involvement and impact on Joe is by far the best thing that came out of this book. While normally Eve is busy with her work, it's totally sidelined in this book and I found that I mised that. As usual, Jane is a part of the drama and finds herself in danger of being bait for deranged killer who is after Eve. Montalvo makes an appearance in this book and I'm curious as to where that's leading.
I read the book in only a couple of days even though I wasn't really interested in the mystery or crime. I was more interested in how all the individual pieces were going to piece into other coming boooks in the series. I kept hoping for more, but that hope will have to carry over to the next book in the series due out in 2010.

This started out great, but the tension dropped away except for the villain. He was strong.

Once again Iris Johansen has written a great book in the Eve Duncan Forensics series. Eve, her boyfriend Joe, and "adopted" daughter Jane, with the help of Seth Caleb, attempt to stop a serial killer who thinks that by drinking people's blood he will be an all powerful vampire.

Eve Duncan is back. She is still looking for Bonnie and she has still never mentioned to Joe that she "talks" to Bonnie in her "dreams". Joe has started to see and talk to Bonnie as well as another murder victim after his brush with an active psychic in the previous novel. Joe comes to terms with

I love Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series, but Blood Game was a little disappointing for me. The book had quite a few editing errors, and one major continuity error with Megan's Uncles name. In Quicksand he had one name, but in this book he had a different name. Not what I was expecting from a best

This was my first foray into Iris Johansen's writing. Based on some other reviews I'm reading, this was maybe not her best. I would hope that to be the case, because I honestly wasn't all that impressed. As far as thrillers go, I found the plotline mediocre. The whole psychic/ghost element was

farfetched and not very believable, not to mention inconsistent. But my biggest pet peeve on this one was the overuse of the word "stiffened". As in "Eve stiffened....", "Joe stiffened....", "Jane stiffened...." I must've heard that phrase at least 10 or more times while listening to this audiobook. A thesaurus might have been helpful. Or a better editor. Show Less

As always, a page-turning thriller in the Eve Duncan series. How does this woman get in so much trouble? Everyone seems to have it out for her and her family and they meet peril head on in this book as well. Wonderful beach read and well worth reading. Recommend it!
