Book Reviews of Chill of Fear
Book Review: disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Although I liked the idea of someone believing themselves mentally ill actually being psychic, I didn't find this book very engaging. This book lacked the warmth and depth of character relationships shown in Ms Hooper's previous books and was more a duty than a pleasure to complete. Some of the plot was also too unbelievable even for this genre.Book Review: exciting paranormal police procedural
Summary: 5 Stars
FBI agent Quentin Hayes belongs to the Special Crime Unit where all the members have at lease one psychic skill used as an additional tool in their arsenal against criminals. Quentin has been haunted for twenty years by the death of Missy, his playmate at the Lodge, a secluded resort that caters to clients who want their privacy. Every so often, Quentin returns to try to solve Missy's murder; this time he has a real chance of doing so because Diana Brisco is there too.
Diana has believed all her life she is insane because she hears voices, suffers blackouts and sees things that aren't there. When Quentin meets her he knows immediately that she is a medium and her years in a drug stupor to cure her condition were a waste of time. Gradually Diana begins to believe and trust Quentin especially when the ghost of a child that disappeared at the Lodge leads her to his bones allowing him to pass on. Missy and others prepare Diana to fight the evil that has lived on at The Lodge for over a century and to send it to a place where it can't come back.
In Kay Hooper's universe evil is a tangible force that can be reincarnated or if it is strong enough possess the living being who has a medium psychic ability. Recurring characters from previous books gives readers a sense of continuity while treating them to an exciting paranormal police procedural that gives new meaning to the word dead. The author draws the reader into the storyline and once there they can't leave because they want to see what happens next in this thrill a minute chilling fantastic reading experience

Book Review: nor her best
Summary: 3 Stars
This one is hard to get into. The heroine is not that interesting. The "killer" is a major disappointment.Book Review: weakest of the series
Summary: 3 Stars
This reviewer has been enthralled by Bishop, Miranda, his wife, and the other paranormal agents in a special wing of the FBI. A novel ago, or is it two, Miranda mysteriously disappears. At the start of this book, Bishop feels that this book's characters will help him find his beloved wife...well, at the end of the book, without hoopla, there is Miranda! no jumping for joy, no great explainations - did I miss something? When they went out to the other side, did they see her hitch-hiking??
This series has given so much but the 'I see dead people' deal was a little old. And I am a believer. whodathunkit?
