    About this audiobook

    It starts off simply enough. (Doesn’t it always?) Jack has been on hiatus since the tragic events in Harbingers. With his beloved Gia’s encouragement he dips his toe back into the fix-it pool.

    Christy Pickering’s eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn’t returning her calls. Will Jack find out why?

    Jack learns there’s a very good reason for the unreturned calls: the PI is dead, victim of a bizarre water-torture murder.

    As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem’s past, he finds connections between Bethlehem and the Creighton Institute. The Institute, a government-funded facility, is researching a newly discovered and frightening variation on human DNA. Jack learns that Bethlehem is not the man he pretends to be.

    Who—and what—Jerry Bethlehem really is will have a devastating effect on Jack’s life and future.

    And as the bodies pile up, Jack finds another piece of the puzzle about his own identity and why he’s been drafted into a cosmic shadow war.

      Repair Man Jack "fixes "things ....for a price and always for the good. Jack is an urban mercenary of sorts, but one who is selective about his clients and methods, takes on an apparently simple case; once again, and not as a coincidence, it blows up into something involving unseen forces - not quite supernatural in the usual sense, but otherworldly nonetheless. "Bloodlines" goes where we didn't even dream it would go. We thought this was going to be about the bloodline of Emma, Jack's and Gia's soon-to-be-born daughter. But it is anything but! True to Wilson's immense writing talent, "Bloodline" goes into different and new territory, but manages to tie together more ties to the past 10 novels. It is filled with suspence from the 1st page to the last. It is never dull and chock-full of interesting new characters of all varieties.
    • 3/5
      Not bad, but not knock out of the park awesome either. feel like this is a transition book - the first that really didn't have a complete resolution. But I've also been pretty distracted lately, so maybe I would have liked this more if I had been able to read it straight through without interruption. It has a pretty awesome creep factor going on though. I'll be starting By the Sword tonight.
    • 4/5
      Very good, minimally supernatural and therefore relying on memorable characters to carry the story. However, I'm getting tired of the plot points that depend on normally smart and strong characters acting massively stupid. Hopefully this stops soon or I'll start getting really annoyed.
    • 4/5
      It would have been a 5 but I am very tired of Gia. I'm not sure why but somehow females in these books come across as helpless hysterical nitwits for the most part. Gia keeps doing stupid crap and doesn't learn to look before she leaps. I'm starting to hope the next leap is a bottomless pit. Goodbye Blonde nitwit. The kid might have some hope but she has a terminal case of stupidity and self centered behavior. You think Wilson could create an intelligent competent female in this story line.
    • 4/5
      With BLOODLINE, you can see the final act of the Repairman Jack series begin. Wilson has talked about how everything will lead up to a grand conclusion in Nightworld which will be rewritten to better tie in to all the previous novels. By leaving some of the plot lines open at the end of the novel, we can see how events will start to cumulate.BLOODLINE has Jack being hired by Christy Pickering to break up her teenaged daughter Dawn's relationship with a much older Jerry Bethlehem. It turns out that Jerry is on a mission from his father to create a baby with a large amount of "other" DNA and who will end up being a key factor in the fate of the world. We are also introduced to the Kickers movement which in addition to the oDNA seems to be tapped into the Otherness that is guiding Jack's nemesis across the novels.While it doesn't sound it from my description above, this book is grounded in reality a bit more than the more supernatural-based two previous novels. Jack's actions have a more concrete goal and a more immediate effect on his future than previous novels. Plus he starts to accumulate mysterious items which we know will become important by the end.

      Interesting series
    • 4/5
      I've been a big fan of Repairman Jack since the beginning. As a part of the series, Bloodlines fills in the storyline nicely. But it's different from most of the other volumes, and I don't think this is one of the best. Repairman Jack fixes things for people. Usually through some sort of trickery, and half the fun of these books is in how the scam is pulled off. Woven through these stories has been an ongoing series of confrontations with agents of the Other. In Bloodlines, the confrontation comes to the front, and I think Wilson is headed to a final confrontation within the next few books. But the con is tossed in at the end, and I think the book suffers for it. Recommended for the continuing storyline, but don't start with this one. Read the whole series in order.
