About this audiobook
He's the kind of killer we instinctively fear the most. A killer without boundaries, without conscience, without any fear of being caught. And his latest victim is terrifying proof that no one is safe: the daughter of a powerful U.S. senator.
Now, with the national media calling for justice and a grief-stricken father seeking vengeance, Bishop and his FBI Special Crimes Unit find themselves in a unique situation. This time even psychic cops aren't enough to stop evil. Aid comes in the form of a fledgling civilian organization of unorthodox crime stoppers. Operating outside of any government oversight, without sanction or official authority, they are comprised of a membership every bit as talented and eccentric as Bishop's SCU-if not more so. And that is no coincidence. For Bishop helped launch this organization barely two years before.
Dani Justice knows all about monsters. They haunt her nightmares-and her life. But she never expected to find herself doggedly on the trail of a real flesh-and-blood predator so cunning, he's eluded the best law enforcement could send up against him; so deadly, he doesn't hesitate to kill even a senator's daughter. Or a cop.
Dani doesn't want to hunt this killer. She doesn't want to risk the life she's made for herself, or her hard-won peace. But she doesn't have a choice. Because his bloody rampage has hit far too close to home. Because Dani alone commands a weapon powerful enough to destroy him.
And because Dani knows something even Bishop doesn't. Dani knows how the hunt ends. It ends in fire. And blood. And death.
What she doesn't know is who will survive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5LOVE THE BISHOP NOVELS! CAN'T WAIT TO GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In Blood Dreams, the daughter of a US senator is kidnapped by a serial killer. Noah Bishop's FBI Special Crimes Unit is enlisted to find her. To capture this killer he has taken on the help of Dani Jacobs, who is really the main protagonist in the story. Her special skill is being able to dream of what is going to occur in the future, a pretty cool and useful skill to have. The most vivid aspects of the story are these dreams, which tend to be fairly horrific. The biggest drawback of the story is the lack of realism when it comes to defining how the serial killer operates. As I've found in many other serial killer books, despite a lack of superhuman powers, he does things that people simply can't do. They make him too omnipotent to be remotely believable. It's one of the reasons I generally don't like serial killer novels.The writing is pretty competent and their is sufficient tension in the novel. It's not a bad read, but it's not a great novel either. If you have read other novels in the series, then you will probably want to read this one as well.Carl Alves - author of Blood Street
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Blood Dreams by Kay Hooper is one in her Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series. This books focuses on twins, Dani and Paris, who use their psychic powers as part of a civilian group of psychic investigators similar to the FBI team headed by Bishop. The book begins with Dani’s precognitive dream that the team connects with a serial killer. Dani, her ex-boyfriend turned sheriff, and other members of the team track a serial killer in Dani’s hometown. Blood Dreams is not my favorite Kay Hooper book, but it is fun to read. It keeps you involved until the end with twists and turns. This is a suspense novel with light romantic leanings.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't _like_ serial killer stories - not even ones full of psychics. But I can't stop reading the Bishop stories. This one's pretty good - not too gory (one really nasty scene, revisited a couple times), interesting characters, good romance. On the other hand, the repeated vision that drives the story turns out to be almost entirely wrong - well, symbolic rather than literal, at least. And the end isn't the end - they've been tricked (which we're told over and over throughout the story, but the trick is bigger than you think). The annoying thing is, I think I remember another Bishop story that went the same way, but none of them mention it. Bah. I hope it was one I reviewed so I don't have to reread it. But I do have the second book in this series handy - don't know yet if it's a duology or a trilogy that hasn't had the last published yet.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was the first book of Kay Hooper's I read and therefore the first in the Bishop series. It took some time to understand and follow the characters and storyline without reading the previous books in the series. I also found the pace of the book slow at times but as I got to the end I could not put the book down. While I read lots of police/detective mysteries this was different in that it featured psychic detectives. i enjoyed the book but think I will probably as a rule stick to the more traditional crime novels though when I am up for something different I will possibly turn back to this series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dani Justice's dreams are haunted by a dream that seems to suggest that she's going to have trouble, that she's going to end up in a building that's colapsing but that she needs to rescue someone. The only change that occurs are minor details.She returns to her home city and her twin Paris, who is recovering from her divorce. She also finds herself having to face up to her relationship with Marcus Purcell. The fact that he accepts her powers scares her. Can they have a relationship and what's going to happen next with the missing women. This was an interesting read, left me wanting more and to find out what's going on. Also seeing what is going to happen to these characters in the future makes me want the next book soon! This is the first in a trilogy and while you could read it without the other Bishop/Special Crimes Unit stories it would clear up some issues.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Unbelievably awful. I wish I could say something else about this book, because I've liked Hooper in the past, but there's nothing redeeming about this book. The plot never takes off, the romance isn't compelling, the characters are flat and we're subjected to the same scene over and over and over again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hooper returns to the world of the Bishop's Special Crimes Unit. Chasing down psychotic serial killers by psychic means is all very well, but the plot here is predictable and weak, and the romance element feels rehashed and thin. I usually like Hooper, but this is far from her best work.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5not very good. This is one in a continuing series of psychic mysteries. Hooper has nothing new to say; no new angles on the stories; no intriguing characters. She is simply rewriting previous books. In addition, she repeats pages of dialogue 4-5 times, which is just an indication of how lazy the author was in writing it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was just ok for me. This is the first one I read in the series so maybe that is it, but it really lacked ooomph. I don't know if I will read any more right away but I probably will at some point.
