Eve gets a call from her acquaintance Dr. Morgan informs Eve that anyone who touched her, Morgan, when she went into her coma might inherit psychic tendencies they have never had.
Joe is assigned this top priority case, because he is considered the best. Joe is struggling to come to grips with his newfound sense — a facilitator effect he gained from Megan — he can see and converse with the dead. Nancy Jo is trying to lead him to her killer with the help of a little girl — a little girl named Bonnie. Eve contacts Morgan to see if she or her relatives know anything about the goblet.
Her inquiry sends Scotsman Seth Caleb, a hunter, to Georgia to find and destroy Jelak, as the goblet and Jelak definitely means something to him. Jelak is a vampire-wannabe and is one of the most perverted killers to come from Ms. Beware — this is a one sitting, white-knuckled, fast-paced read that will leave you breathless and awaiting the next installment. Betty Cox, ReaderToReader. View 2 comments. Aug 30, J. I thought I would give Blood Game a chance since Johansen is apparently a bestseller and has flocks of fans.
Needless to say, this will be my last Johansen book. My first gripe and this is more of my lack of previous Eve Duncan reading is that there was nothing to suggest that there is paranormal psychic hoopla from the book synopsis. Paranormal stuff is not bad per say I love urban fantasy and others ; but Johansen does not have a knack for it. The characters are so one dimensional it is ridiculous. We have the cop boyfriend who is headstrong and does not believe in the psychic "mumbo jumbo" and is worried about how others will perceive him if they found out he is hallucinating.
One of the most classic parts at the beginning of the book is when Joe is talking to the psychic, and she has him "convinced" that he is now a medium-like individual, and he says he still thinks it is a load of bologna but she can come along anyway to help him read the signs, just in case.
The plot is so juvenile and the storytelling is weak; but, I guess I should not expect deep and engaging stories when the author pumps out three and four books a year.

If I had the option, I would have read this straight through without putting it down Having Megan waken a gift of seeing and communicating with ghosts in Joe was perfect!
Now he and Eve once she shares her ability to see Bonnie with him I can't wait to read what happens when Eve reveals that she has been communicating wit Ok, another creepy criminal, but the story was compelling! I can't wait to read what happens when Eve reveals that she has been communicating with Bonnie for a long time I truly hope that this news brings them closer together and I picture Eve, Joe and Bonnie together on the porch talking.
I would like to see more of Caleb again, I am intrigued by his "gift" and I thoroughly enjoyed his "look Ma, no hands" destruction of Jelak I believe Blood Game is the book Iris Johansen has always wanted to write.
With all the paranormal novels out there, and the acceptance of them, Iris Johansen now has the license to give her characters more depth. I enjoyed the new direction Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn have taken. On a previous case, Quinn had contact with Megan, a surgeon, who has paranormal powers. Megan transferred powers to Quinn that allows him to see and talk to the dead.
The story is strong, believable, and interesting. Oct 26, PastAllReason rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , read A continuation of the Eve Duncan series. I continue to read them, though I am at the point of thinking that Johansen needs to wrap up the continuing, ever-evolving, "who is Bonnie's murderer" storyline. It is starting to be like a soap opera, in a bad way. May 18, Darinda rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery-thriller. The ninth book in the Eve Duncan series.
