* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!


Finished reading this one over the weekend!

Blood Ties is book twelve in Kay Hooper's Bishop/SCU series. One thing I found helpful in this book is the inclusion of an index of characters and their abilities, as well as footnotes throughout referencing books in which previous events occurred. The Special Crimes Unit is a unit of the FBI that deals with unexplainable crimes, or those with "supernatural" elements. Each of the agents assigned to this unit has different psychic abilities. In this particular scene, Diana and Hollis, both mediums, are looking for a way out of "the gray time," a corridor between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Down the corridor a bit, one of the doors swung inward with a faint but audible creak.

"Oh, that can't be good," Hollis said.
