Shadows #2
Bishop/SCU #2
Rereading this romantic suspense series.
I recommend reading the Bishop/SCU series in order for the character development and growth through the series. Though you would not really miss the story or anything from book 1 to this one. It is all different characters except for the appearance of Bishop, which is very minor.
This one started out very fast paced and slowed for me with an abrupt feeling ending. I still enjoyed the book overall though it was a little weird, it was also an interesting concept where the psychic abilities and such are concerned. The romance was just not as much there for me, their connection just didn't feel it.
Maybe it was due to nostalgia, but I still enjoyed the book.

This was pretty consistent with what Kay Hooper is writing now. I like her old books better.

i love kay hooper. she writes mysteries using people who are like xmen. there's even a special task force of the cia or fbi, of people who are psychic, telekenetic, etc. in this one, a woman wakes from a coma, remembering nothing, but having to save her best friend she doesnt even know she knew... really great book.

Why can't I get into these stories like I hoped I would be? The couples as well I can't relate to or feel a connection to. Giving one more book a chance before I deiced if these will be for me.

"Hiding In The Shadows
Accident victim Faith Parker has done what her doctors feared she never would: awakened from the coma that held her prisoner for weeks. But she has no memory of the crash that nearly killed her-or the life that led up to it. Nor does she remember journalist Dinah Leighton, the steadfast friend who visited her in the hospital...until she disappeared without a trace. Now as Faith begins to regain her strength, she's shocked by intimate dreams of a man she doesn't recognize and tortured by visions of violence that feel painfully real. Something inexplicable ties her lost memories to Dinah's chilling fate. But even as Faith tries to understand the connection and reach out to save Dinah, death is stalking both women. And one of them will not escape its lethal grasp.
FBI agent Noah Bishop has a rare gift for seeing what others do not, a gift that helps him solve the most puzzling cases. Now, read more of his electrifying adventures in two stand-alone tales of psychic suspense." (From Amazon)
A great paranormal romantic suspense novel.

Hiding in the Shadows
3.5 Stars
Synopsis:
After awakening from a coma with no memory of the accident or her life preceding it, Faith Parker starts piecing her life back together and discovers that her only friend has disappeared without a trace. Soon, Faith is shocked by intimate dreams of an unknown man and tortured by visions of violence. Can she learn the truth about herself and her friend before her dreams come true?
Review:
This review is going to be shorter than some of my others as I don’t want to give away any of the surprises. Suffice it to say that this is a good story with characters that are easy to identify with and a clever plot with an extra twist at the end.
The heroine, Faith, copes with the revelations concerning her life with strength and dignity. She never allows the pain and hardship to overwhelm her and I was really rooting for her happy ending.
The book is well-written with a skillful buildup of tension and suspense that ratchets up a notch toward the end. The romance angle, however, is too subdued and could have been better balanced with the suspense.
