Summary: Please Continue the Shadow Series!
Review: Kay Hooper ends the Shadows series with an explosive book. Out of the Shadows tells Noah Bishop's story that has been hinted at in the previous two stories--and oh, what a story it is. This book will reach out and pull you into the story--and the ending? Get ready to be shocked,surprised, and entralled. Sheriff Mirands Knight is reunited with her former lover, Noah Bishop, who heads an unusal branch of the FBI. Because of old wounds and hurts fromt the past, Miranda is reluctant to accept Noah's help. But, her small town in Tennessee is being devastated by a vivious killer who is taking the town's teenagers and savagely butchering them. There are no clues, no way to contain stop this beast. Noah is joined by two members of his team who also possess abilities of the unknown. Together they team up with Miranda to battle the deadly evil that has invaded the town and is stiking its innocent people. Ms. Hooper outdid herself on this one. Just like the first book in this trilogy, there are numberous characters that contribute to the story. You find yourself caring, hurting, and rooting for them. There is some comical relief in this book which keeps it from being too dark. I sincerely hope Ms. Hooper starts another trilogy with emphasis on the unknown. I'll be the first in line to buy! Get this book, find some place to read uninterrupted, and get ready for the ride of your life. If you haven't read the first two in this series, you're in for a treat! If anyone knows of books that are similar in subject matter and great to read, please drop me a line. This was fascinating.

A great read that has me searching for more of her works!

Summary: I Liked This Book But One Thing Bugged Me
Review: Kay Hooper has written a page turner. She grabbed my interest right off. I've read all three books in this series and thought this was miles away the best, probably because of the heroine's strength of character. However, in every one of these books she has introduced some lapse of logic that I found irritating. In this case it was right at the beginning. An (admittedly inexperience) forensic team is examining and clearing a body dump site. The body has been tentatively identified as a local teenager by a class ring and a gold tooth (teenager with a gold tooth?) There's a statement about how the remains wouldn't fill a shoe box. But somehow it is determined that the body was the estimated height and weight! of the missing teen? How did they estimate weight from a skeletized body in fragments? That is never explained. Shame-- carelessness like that detracted from a rather good book.

Summary: Don't let the Shadow novels die!
Review: Kay Hooper is such an excellent writer! The Shadow trilogy are the best of any I have read! In Out Of The Shadows, the plot was excellent, although I did know who the killer was very short into the story, but the reason as to why he was killing and whom he was killing was a complete mystery! Masterfully done! Added with the paranormal and a threat of a serial killer who had died six years before and you have a SHADOW-A-LICIOUS read! You won't be able to put it down! I would love to see more novels with Noah Bishop, Miranda Knight, Bonnie, and Seth! Maybe another series just all their own!

Summary: A tad unbelievable
Review: Miranda Knight, not her real name, is sheriff of a small Tennessee town when the locals start turning up dead and mutilated. When the FBI sends in a team of psychics to help solve the crimes, Miranda comes face to face with her old lover who is part of the team, a man she has hoped never to see again. Miranda is psychic, too, as are her little sister and one of the victims who had been having visions. It's an interesting if extremely graphic story, albeit I thought it leaned somewhat too heavily on the psychic angle.

Summary: Highly recommend
Review: Ms. Hooper's "shadow" books are excellent reading. They are some of the best psychic mysteries around. They are both credible and complex. Don't stop at one.

Summary: The best work yet in this fantastic series
Review: Once they were lovers with a powerful psychic bond that forged a relationship that seemed as if they belonged together forever. Unfortunately, he made a bad decision that forced her to flee with her eight-year-old sister. Eight years have passed since FBI profiler Noah Bishop and Gladstone, Tennessee Sheriff Miranda Knight have seen one another. However, a serial killer viciously feeding on teenagers may be the matchmaker that brings Miranda and Noah together. Miranda knows her small town does not have the resources to cope with such a deadly maniac. She asks the FBI for help knowing that Noah will be part of the team. When they meet for the first time in years, Noah is eager to prove that he is changed, but the powerful telepath Miranda shuts him out although her reasons are not as obvious as he thinks. As the count mounts and the townsfolk panic, the Bishop and the Knight need to trust their emotional link in order to eradicate the evil killing machine. The final book in an exciting trilogy has all the creativity, color, and characterizations that were trademarks of STEALING SHADOWS and STANDING IN THE SHADOWS. Kay Hooper writes a paranormal romance filled with suspense, chills, and tension that enables the audience to believe in the extrasensory activities of the cast. OUT OF THE SHADOWS will appeal to fans of Tami Hoag and Barbara Parker. Harriet Klausner

Summary: An Explosive Book Worth Waiting For
Review: Sheriff Miranda Knight has been secretly using her psychic ablilty to solve crime in Cox County Tennessee, but when a serial killer starts brutally murdering teenagers in town her psychic powers draw a blank. Worry about her nineteen year old sister adds to her woes. She needs help and she knows where to get it, though she doesn't want to go there, but she must. She calls in former lover FBI profiler Noah Bishop and his team of psychic agents. This five star thriller should be hard to believe in, but it's not. Hooper just keeps getting better. She paints a believable past for Knight and Bishop, tells us Bishop's story through Knight's eyes and keeps her readers hanging on every word. A little graphic, no, a lot graphic, but I believe it's necessary for the story. Review Submitted by Katie Osborne
