I received an ARC copy of this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. I had read one other book by this author and thought there was potential for an interesting series. This book did not convince me of that.

It was a quick, easy read, but I didn't especially enjoy it and don't know if I needed more background on the characters (from previous novels, Stealing Shadows was the other I had read) to properly enjoy it. I also felt as if the current story was somewhat lacking in details. I thought the book was mostly predictable and the serial killer stereotypic. I thought the main character should have been a little more careful (intelligent?), if she was part of an FBI Special Crimes Unit.. I was surprised by the twist in the protagonist’s story. I did not find the story very interesting but kept hoping it would improve as it went on. Since I was able to finish the book, I think it does rate above a 1 star.

I haven't read many thrillers of this subgenre, so it could be it is not a sub genre that I would particularly enjoy beyond a 3-star level at best, in the first place. ( )

Ok. Typical psychic thriller of kay hooper ( )

I really liked this book. I think it is one of my favorite books in this series. I can't wait for the next one in this trilogy to come out.

I liked both of the women, Jessie and Emma. I wish their relationship could have been a little closer, but this is after all a story of damaged people. I liked Navarro too. I wish they could have explained more of his relationship with Emma.

The serial killer in this one is a real sociopath. There are really not that many potential suspects, so it is pretty easy to guess who the killer is, or at least narrow it down to two choices. I also didn't like that Jessie continued to investigate on her own, even after she finds evidence of what a monster he really is.

A lot is made of Jessie recovering her lost memories of a traumatic night 15 years earlier. When we finally do learn what happened, it was a surprise to me. I did not see it coming.

I read this book very fast, and wanted to see what would happen next. To me, that is a mark of a good book. ( )

This was my first and most likely last Kay Hooper book. I didn't realize that it was in the middle of the series until too late, but really I wouldn't have known if not for goodreads. It doesn't matter if this was a standalone or a series, this book sucked. Character development was minimal, the plot was laughably bare, and too much of everything was obvious. I straight up did not care who lived or died in this. Emma Rayburn fled Baron Hollow when she was a teenager and ever since she's been plagued with nightmares and dark visions. Her special crimes unit (full of psychics and shit) sends her back to her hometown to uncover why she really ran away and while there a body turns up. Oh no! Ugh., I can't use anymore brainpower on this one. Soo not a fan! ( )

An intense beginning, as the story paints a picture of a victim running for her life. We see her wandering aimlessly through the woods... then we are back to the real world. The drama begins. You will keep reading, anxious to discover the story behind the forgotten memory. Hooper ends the tale with a nice twist that was totally unexpected. I love the Paranormal Unit, and the story told through a clairvoyant's eyes. Kay Hooper has set up a great series with the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit and I recommend this book for anyone who likes paranormal. ( )
