Kay Hooper's Blood Sins is the latest in the Bishop/SCU series. The first time Hooper has had a direct link between stories as Blood Sins directly follows events and characters from Blood Dreams.
In Blood Sins, Bishop is leading his SCU group and Haven operatives in a war against a super pyschic who absorbs powers and energy from other psychics. It seemed to bring together all the former characters from older novels. The story was interesting and could have been tense, but as she's done in a few other novels, Hooper spends so many pages describing different psychic abilities and how they work and affect others I found myself wanting to skip paragraphs or entire pages. Very little seemed to focus on the actual questions the book raised which she touches on in the epilouge which makes me wonder if this story will continue directly in the final book.
I think maybe these characters just might be completely played out and tired. She doesn't give enough time with each one to really let anyone get attached. They're blips on your radar, even when there's an entire story focused on them. I think Hooper might have sacrificed character development for psychic-power development.
