MAJOR SPOILERS -Basically just wanted to say that I'm slighlty disappointed in the ending of this one. I don't mind when characters die, but I feel like there has to be a good payoff if that is the case. I feel like a bad guy who spans 3 books is pretty much enough. To leave it open at the end li...
When I first started reading this book, I was worried that I would be as disappointing as the first book in the trilogy, but it wasn’t. It started off a little slow, but things started to happen and I started to get more interested paragraph after paragraph. I started to see the book building u...
A good story/plot of a serial killer in a cult type setting. However, for a triology book, I found it a little confusing in the beginning with all new characters with the exception of 2 from the 1st book that came in much later then I would have expected. Then about 3/4 through the book a coupl...
This was the first of Hooper's books that was, to me, repetitive. Some of the phrasing, explanations, dialogue was repeated numerous times. And this is the first book that really REQUIRES the reader to have read the previous book in the trilogy. Can this book stand alone? Probably. Is the s...
This was the worst Kay Hooper book I've ever read. I forced myself to finish it but I was able to literally skip pages without missing anything. Others have said the story line was hard to follow but I don't agree; I thought it was incredibly redundant. No matter where Sarah and Tucker are they h...
Warning Note: I never read the last page of a mystery.What would be the point? This being mentioned, my review might not be to your tastes. I BELIEVE you can guess the basic concept of the book from what is found above or on the back of the book. Maybe you’ll even look at the other reviews on ...

I originally got this book from an acquaintance here on LJ. I had read the first, Once a Thief, and so had wanted to read the second as the story in the first seems like it continues on. So I have to say thank you for that lorettakay. I don't remember how I stumbled upon the first book though it ...
Reading is only for the young.Gilly/GideonI never wanted to read any Heyer slash. That should be self-explanatory, because her romances were the only real ones, with the m and f really belonging together, fitting, genuine love, affection and attraction, it made me sick to consider slashing the me...
3.5 StarsHaunted hotels with long histories and lots of secrets, paranormal murder mysteries with psychic FBI agents, and a woman who can see ghosts and walk with the dead... Chill of Fear pretty much has Ani-bait written all over it… despite the fact that the summary doesn’t really do much just...

2/5 STARS - the very best I can do!OK ... this is one of those books where I wonder if I read the same story as everyone else. According to the Goodreads statisticians, Hunting Fear has just over 6,000 ratings for an average rating of 4.2/5.0. WOW! I felt very generous by awarding it 2/5 STARS. ...
I am terribly disappointed by this book , the book was very promising , as a matter of fact I was enjoying it very much , the suspense was great , the mystery was even better , the characters were interesting though Adam and Rachel had no chemistry whatsoever , but the mystery itself had me hook...
I, for one, love the Bishop/FBI SCU stories, and thought this book was an excellent addition to the series. Riley Crane wakes up in bed at her rental cottage in Opal Island, only to realize she's covered in dried blood and has no memories of the last three weeks. Apparently, she was on the island...
My Favorite of the SeriesOUT OF THE SHADOWS is the best of Hooper's Bishop Special Crimes series. It is the story of the namesake of the series and the woman for whom he has been searching. This paranormal suspense fiction is beautifully constructed story about a maniac killer and two people wh...

I’m not sure how this book ended up on my reading list, possibly I thought it was by another author? But it had been on there for so long and sounded slightly interesting, so I gave it a go. For this genre, I’m sure this is a good book. It was fairly well written, but I don’t usually read this...
More Paranormal Suspense Than RomanceTOUCHING EVIL marks the point where the Bishop series becomes more Paranormal Suspense than Paranormal Romantic Suspense. There is a romance involved, but there is no real relationship development between the characters. Because this is a change from prior ...
Originally, I had purchased the second novel, Always a Thief, in hardcover for a really great deal - $5(CDN) brand new, straight from Coles. It sat on my TBR shelf for nearly a year because i have this incurable need to read series' and such books in order.I finally managed to get my hands on thi...
i ridiculously enjoyed this! a good light read. and omg his scar, too funny that he'll never know its origins, and of course as a reader we won't either but apparently it's hilarious. i loved the romantic man hawke, the owner of an island and i liked his determined spirit. i didn't like the way h...
10/06/2012 - It kept me reading until the end, so it accomplished what it set out to do. Was it the greatest? No, but it was definitely better than average in my opinion. As with many books of this nature, I always find things I wish the author wrote differently, so I try not to hold that against...
