This was a fast read for me, but wasn't something that I couldn't put down. Reilly Crane wakes up with no memory of the last three weeks, covered in blood and her normally reliable psychic senses are on the fritz. She's not sure who to trust particularly when there's a dead body in the woods and he's decapitated with a missing head. Who to trust? Are her abilities gone forever? Can she do her job without her abilities? It's a book that struck some resonances with me, the idea of losing my memory fills me with a large amount of fear. Kay Hooper made me very aware of the character and the situations and I was rooting for them all. I didn't expect who was to blame until the end. This is the first time I've read this author, and I liked her. Will definitely look for other titles! I read this book in just under 4 hours and while it was a gripping story, it was over too quickly. The ending was unexpected, and also uncommon for a Kay Hooper book in that you actually got to meet and get to know the badguy before the climax. The only things I didn't like about it were that I wasn't left with any strong feelings while reading it, and also that I felt too much of it was explanatory and repetitive. On the whole though, this was a good and solid thriller. 0.059 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553803182, Hardcover)Fear has never been so close.…New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper returns with a relentless thriller that brings her readers face-to-face with fear itself. In this terrifying new novel, a psychic special agent finds herself caught up in a tangled web of secrets, lies . . . and evil. Riley Crane woke up fully dressed, a gun under her pillow, and covered in blood. Even more frightening, she didn’t remember what happened the night before. In fact, she barely remembered the previous three weeks. An ex—army officer, now a federal agent assigned to the Special Crimes Unit, Riley was a chameleon–a clairvoyant who could blend in with her surroundings, be anyone or anything she chose to be. The SCU’s expert on the occult, she’d been sent to the beachfront cottage on Opal Island by her enigmatic chief, Noah Bishop, to investigate reports of dangerous occult activity. But that was three weeks ago. Now she’s awoken to discover that she’s got a sexy new man in her life and an unreliable memory, and that the clairvoyant abilities she’s always depended on to protect her are MIA. Worse yet, with SCU resources stretched thinner than ever before, Riley is alone and without backup, feeling her way through a deadly game of blindman’s buff, where no one around her is quite who or what they seem. And a bizarre murder is only the first jarring reminder of how high the stakes really are. Bishop wants Riley off the case. So does powerful local D.A. Ash Prescott. Both her old retired army buddy Gordon Skinner and Sheriff Jake Ballard believe she can catch a vicious killer. But one of these four men knows exactly what’s going on in this coastal community, and that’s knowledge Riley desperately needs. For what Riley can’t remember is more than enough to cost her her life. This time evil isn’t just closer than she thinks–it’s already there.
