I finished this book on 1/10/2011. Thought it a good, suspenseful read. ( )

I really enjoyed Blood Game. This is the first Iris Johansen book I have ever read. It is book #9 in the Eve Duncan series but can definitely be read out of order. The story gives all the back story to Bonnie, Eve’s little girl who was killed and the relationship that Eve and Joe have. So really, this one book is a fine stand alone, actually for me. I may not even pick up the first one’s because I feel that I already know the back story.

I don’t know if all of Johansen’s books have a bit of a mystical or psychic feel to them but this one did and that might be the reason I really enjoyed it, right up my alley.

The gist of the book is about a murdered daughter of a Georgia senator, being that it is set in Georgia is the only reason I even picked up this book. There is a serial killer who drinks blood and a hunter who has been on his trail and with the help of Joe, Eve and the ghost yes there is a ghost they track the killer down. Of course it’s not that simple because if it was there would be no story and no book.

Pure torture-for the reader. ( )

An evil monster plagues Eve and her family, but will help from strange outsiders be enough to stop it?

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! ( )
