Out Of The Shadows

A picture-perfect Tennessee town has just become a monster's hunting ground.  Two bodies are found tortured to death. A third person goes missing. What little evidence is left behind defies all explanation. Is the terror just beginning? Or have the good citizens of Gladstone harbored a dark secret for a long time?  Sheriff Miranda Knight is determined to make her small town safe once more. And she does what she swore she would never do: involve FBI profiler Noah Bishop.  He's the one man who knows about her unique abilities, and that knowledge almost destroyed her and her sister years ago.  Now, as Bishop arrives with his team of agents, Miranda must learn to trust him and use her abilities once more.  For they're about to go on the hunt for a killer whose madness has no bounds, a killer who knows exactly how to destroy Miranda: by preying on her sister. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

This review is from: Out of the Shadows (Shadows Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read all three in Kay Hoopers Shadows Thrillogy and I must say this is definitly the best yet! In the first book "Stealing Shadows" you meet FBI agent Noah Bishop and throughout you understand more and more of his character. The second,"Hiding in the Shadows", you see him as another secondary character but even more intriguing. Finally in the third book you read his story, which will blow you away.You just can't put these books down, these books are definitly stay up until 3 am reads! Kay's writing is so wonderful and you just keep wanting more! Each one of these books are superb!

This review is from: Out of the Shadows (Shadows Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is another winner in the Shadow series, April 18, 2002

This third book in the Shadow Series is another winner. Sheriff Miranda Knight and her younger sister, Bonnie, aren't what they seem. That is, they are in hiding in the small town of Gladstone. Both sisters are powerful psychics but nobody knows it. Eight years before a violent serial killer turned their world upside down when Miranda used her gift to help the FBI hunt him down. Instead, he escaped capture and Miranda fled with Bonnie. She changed their names and became sheriff of a small town that appeared innocent on the surface. Unfortunately, another killer was in town and teenagers were showing up dead and mutilated. Miranda called in the FBI and was once again working with FBI profiler, Noah Bishop. Miranda tries to keep
her distance because he had betrayed her eight years before when they were working on the case together. She had been in love with him then and didn't want to let him touch her heart again. Though he is also a powerful psychic, he can't read Miranda because of the walls she has built around herself.

This was a page turner for me, just like the other books in the series. Suspense builds as each new body is revealed as well as the personal relationship between Miranda and Bishop. I'm in the process of buying every book I can find by Hooper.She has become an automatic buy for me.
