The plot that takes up most of the book is fine, but it turns out to only be a subplot. Meanwhile, the "main" plot does not get hardly any attention and the reader is left wondering where it came from. There is no suspense around the main plot - it just seems to be page filler. To top it off, the romance quickly turns cheesy and gets only that much worse at the very end. It's one of those soap opera "awww" kind of feelings... On top of the clues being totally predictable, the action scenes were anticlimactic, and the reader was left wondering if this could have been a better book with more gracious editting to the point that it was sold as a novella. Hopefully the next book in the trilogy is much better than this one. I'm willing to try it out only because the other several books I have read by Kay Hooper have been everything they were advertised to be. Yes, sometimes the heroine has Way Too Much Angst, but this sucked me in, kept me up way past my bedtime and kept me guessing until the end! A burnt out successful psychic retreats to a quiet North Carolina town to find that murder is stalking her, and maybe she's next! no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553575538, Mass Market Paperback)What if you can enter a madman's cruel mind as he plans his vicious crimes? What if you can see the terrified face of his prey as he moves in for the kill—but you can't stop his frenzy once he strikes?Psychic Cassie Neill helps the L.A. police catch killers—until she makes a terrible mistake and an innocent child dies. Cassie flees to a small North Carolina town, hoping that a quiet life will silence the voices that invade her unwilling mind. But Cassie's abilities know few boundaries. And she's become certain—as no one else can be—that a murderer is stalking Ryan's Bluff. It's his fury that Cassie senses first, then his foul thoughts and perverse excitement. Yet she doesn't know who he is or where he will strike. The sheriff won't even listen to her—until the first body is found exactly where and how she predicted. Now a suspect herself, she races desperately to unmask the killer in the only way she knows: by entering his twisted mind. Her every step is loaded with fear and uncertainty...because if he senses her within him, he'll trap her there, so deep she'll never find her way out. In Stealing Shadows, Kay Hooper introduces FBI agent Noah Bishop, whose rare gift for seeing what others do not helps him solve the most puzzling cases. Now, Bishop's adventures continue in two new electrifying tales of psychic suspense. Beware of what you see. It's dawn when the police arrive at the murder scene. The victim is propped against a tree, her eyes still open, her head tilted, her lips parted in a silent cry. Just as Cassie Neill predicted. Just as she saw while she was inside the killer's mind. The killer knew she was there. And next time he won't let her get away. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:09 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
