Sloan has a sky-high IQ, a chaotic personal life, and a dream: to work for the FBI. Her goal is within reach until an error lands her with the FBI's ugly stepchild: the new Paranormal Behavioral Analysis Unit. She'll get to profile criminals, but the pool of suspects is a little more...diverse. Yet even as Sloan tackles her first case--a string of victims, all with puncture wounds to the neck--she can't silence her inner para-skeptic.
To catch the killer she'll have to think like one. That means casting aside her doubts, and dealing with the bizarre nightmares that started with the job. But the strangeness is only beginning, as Sloan pieces together the shocking truth about a case that's more personal than she ever would have guessed.
********************
Today is the
beginning of Sloan Skye’s dreams coming true.
She is starting her first day as an intern for the FBI. Well that is what she thought when she left
the chaos of her apartment this morning.
Now she is shattered, there has been a mistake and her position has just
been stolen by her old high school crush turned frenemy, Gabe Wagner.
Total desperation
and the desire to not have a repeat performance of last summer’s job, she jumps
at the change to work for the FBI in any way shape or form. Well she probably should have done a bit of
research first. She just got hired as an
intern for the PBAU, Paranormal Behavioral Analysis Unit. Yes, paranormals like vampires and other
creatures of the unknown. Who knew they
existed…Sloan sure doesn’t believe it…yet.
Sloan tries to
delve into her job with an open mind, but being the daughter of two brilliant people,
this is a tough one to swallow. Believing
isn’t her only problem. She is now
having realistic dreams and frightening memories that are unsettling to her and
may be related to the unusual case they are working. Sloan has just entered a whole new
world. A world she never knew existed,
but a world that already knew about her.
Blood of Eden is
a good story, but I wasn’t totally absorbed by the storyline. The set up of the series was well thought out
and detailed. Ms. Dane has developed a
fantastic universe and I am still intrigued by the plot, though I felt bogged
down at times. She definitely has a new
take on the paranormal, even delving into not well known creatures of lore and
history. I found it very fascinating and
I am looking forward to the next installment.
I like to think that now that the ground work has been laid the next
book will blow me away with the creatures, characters and storytelling.
Thanks for reading! - Toni
