Review:I always wait with anticipation for a new Kay Hooper book. Sorry to say though that I was disappointed in the latest Bishop/Special Crimes Unit novel. The plot of Fear the Dark was kind of boring and the end was forshadowed so much that it was anticlimactic. Read more

Review:For those who like paranormal mysteries with a touch of romance, this book works great!!! It is a very enjoyable read that will keep you entertained right to the very end!!! I definitely will read more Kay Hooper books!!! Read more

Review:I have been reading Kay Hooper from the beginning of the Bishop Special Crimes Unit (SCU) series and thoroughly enjoyed this installment. It included all of the elements I expect from Kay Hooper including suspense, character development, action, and of course the psychic element.

This is not a good book for someone who has not read at least a few of the previous books in the Bishop SCU series. The characters are familiar to those of us who are avid fans, but it would take too much time fo... Read more

Review:Excellent book, suspenseful, a definite page turner. This is another one of the series of "Shadows" books by Kay Hooper. You as the reader are drawn into the world of the paranormal and murder, and cannot help but feel for her characters. Her books are well written, and you cheer on the good guys. Highly recommend her books. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction. Read more

Review:I loved this book. The characters are amazing an I feel like I'm right there with them. Jack an Mellie are fantastic to read about and I love their paranormal adventures, excellent read. Onto the next book . Read more

Review:Suspend your disbelief and just go with it. If ghost stories are your cup of English Breakfast tea, you will love this very short, sweet book. The characters could be more deep and hopefully they will become so in subsequent stories. But for now, it's a great way to pass a couple of hours. Read more

Review:One of my favorite writers until this book came out. I'd have to slap my face to keep awake while reading it. I managed to get half-way through and was thoroughly fed up with reading repetitious chapters of every person in the building seeing the same things develope. BORING. I forced myself to continue but gave up about two-thirds the way through. Sorry Dean. One strike does not knock you out but please stay with the old Dean Koontz story lines in the future Read more

Review:omg, get this series. Odd is such a loveable character, totally sympathetic and Koontz is an excellent writer. this series is my first foray into his literary world. I'm excited that I have 1,000 other Koontz books to explore. Read more

Review:The premise of the story was solid but the portrayals of characters were somewhat cliche and the dialogue did not seem realistic. Characters were either underdeveloped or developed in too short a period of time. Everything was explained and nothing was left to the reader's imagination. It was not terrifying nor thought provoking. I do not think this was anywhere near his best work and it was very disappointing, considering the reader ratings it was given. Read more

Review:Dean Koontz has been one of my favorite authors since I read NIGHT CHILLS in 1976. Since then, I've loved many of his novels, including WHISPERS, PHANTOMS, WATCHERS, and LIGHTNING. He always seemed to me to be a more spiritual Stephen King - Koontz's stories were as harrowing and exciting as King's, but I felt a greater element of resolution and redemption in Koontz's novels.

That said, I must admit that THE TAKING is a disappointing novel. Somehow I missed it when it was first release... Read more
