Summary: Hello, Darkness
Review: The story was okay, but it was so full of crude words and descriptive sex that I found it hard to believe that a "lady" wrote it. I've been a fan of Sandra Brown's for years, but I think I'll drop her from my favorite author list. If you like crude and sexual than the book is for you. If not, there are hundreds of other authors who write excellent books.

Summary: Interesting But To "Perfect"
Review: Altho I am sure I have read another book by Sandra Brown (one I can't think of as of date), I was interested in reading this book based on it's synopsis. I will admit that the book took off and I was unable to put it down during the first several chapters but after awhile, I found myself just a tad bit annoyed at how all the characters were "convienently" put together which took away from the natural suspense - in my opinion.Altho this book was a work of fiction, perhaps I was expecting MORE of a theme, MORE content, MORE thrills. Instead I got the runaround, too many underdeveloped characters and way too many twists and turns. Overall, the book held the mystery qualities and even had me "locked in" (for lack of a better term) but at the same time, all it turned out to be in nutshell, was a love story - a Romance Suspense Novel. Truly not something I was prepared to read once I realized where the book was heading. Also, altho things like the nature of Paris and Dr.Malloy's relationship wasn't too farfetched, I just had a problem with the author allowing these two characters to rekindle what should have never taken place to begin with. I don't know about anyone else but I really don't think that after my finace' pretty much committed suicide by the revelation that his best friend and I had intimate relations behind his back that even after 7 years (later), I'd pick up where I left off with that same man. Perhaps I'm putting my own morals out here on the line in view of a work of fiction but sometimes fiction is all about reality. In conclusion, I also wish the book had a different ending, more climatic, more theatric. But it it what it is. Can't change that too much at this point. I'm glad however, that I didn't buy this book brand new.

Summary: So Disappointed!!
Review: I am an avid reader of Sandra Brown's novels. I've found her latest books to be lacking. This one was the worst. It was too predictable and not exciting enough. I am quite disappointed to say the least.

Summary: A good holiday read
Review: Hello Darkness is a fast paced mystery with an unknown villan who calls himself Valentino. Paris Gibson has a late night talk show and Valentino has become convinced she is the resason for all his problems. Paris, has problems of her own, along with a troubled past which catches up with her when she reports the threatening calls to the police. As the story moves along all the male characters seem to have some reason to be suspects at one point or another. The real villan is not a total surprise but the story line is a good read.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I have dearly loved most of Sandra Brown's books so I couldn't believe it when this one was a clunker. I felt like I was reading a Mary Higgins Clark book because of the way it skipped around to so many different characters. And then it wasn't nearly as good as Mary Higgins Clark's mysteries. I would rather read a book from the viewpoint of one or two people so that I can really get to know them and feel their emotions. The way this was written, I didn't care about any of the characters at all. I just hope her next book is back to her regular standards.

Summary: Thank Goodness
Review: I was shocked at how much I disliked Brown's last book, "The Crush." I was afraid she'd lost her edge. With "Hello, Darkness," she was redeemed in my eyes. Is it the best she's ever written? No, but it was classic Sandra Brown. The ending was the best...It bounces you back and forth between suspects like a ping-pong ball until you're not sure WHO did it. I have no problem recommending this one.

Summary: An Excellent Read
Review: Paris Gibson, a popular radio personality, receives a call on her show by a man known only as Valentino, who tells her that he has kidnapped his girlfriend (who called previously on her show for advice about their dysfunctional relationship) and will kill her in 72 hours. He then threatens to come after Paris herself. She reports the call to the police and they race to beat the clock in order to find the identity of the victim and catch the psycho before it is too late. During her search, Paris is reunited with a former lover, Dean Malloy, who is now a psychologist working for the police department. Paris is also haunted by disturbing events from her past, a past she'd like to forget. As events unfold, the identity of the victim in revealed, as well as many of her secrets, such as an internet Sex Club, of which she is one of the founding members. Among the suspects-- a sex-crazed dentist with a taste for high school girls; Dean's son Gavin, who had a relationship with the victim who unexpectedly dumped her for an older man, and who is also an active member of the Sex Club; a janitor working for the radio station who suddenly splits before he can be questioned; the nephew of the radio station's owner, who has a history of sexually harassing women; and a young cop working for the computer crimes unit who, after work, likes to indulge at Sex Club meetings.
This book is sure to hit the bestseller lists, an excellent novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. Although the characters, especially Paris, don't seem to be fully realized, the fast-paced, suspenseful twists will keep your mind off of the book's weaknesses. You'll be up all night, anxious to reach the end and find out who has been committing the crimes. Mrs. Brown is a master of romantic suspense-- just when you think you have finally figured it out, something else is revealed that makes you reassess your decision. I recommend this book with all my heart and anxiously await Mrs. Brown's next masterpiece of suspense.

Summary: More Mystery than Romance
Review: This is my 6th Sandra Brown book I've read and I loved it. Envy was my first and I thought if all SB books are like this one I'm gonna read them all. It seems that the first one you read always ends up being your favorite..so far nothing has surpassed by opinion of Envy. Hello, Darkness has a very addictive plot and I could hardly put it down. Much more mystery than passion. I was slightly disappointed that the romance was so sparce because these characters had such a connection but I think the storyline and the fact that Dean and Paris had a history made it necessary. Each book has a uniqueness I admire. Overall worth every penny for a hardcover.

Summary: Better than usual
Review: I thought this book was much better than all of Sandra Brown's other books. I almost didn't read it because she doesn't thrill me much anymore but the library had it so I thought "why not" It was one the best books I have read awhile.
