Summary: Not Hooper's Best
Review: A serial killer is on the loose. The victims are always blond, successful women. A FBI special unit compromised of psychic profilers and agents gets involved. Special Agent Isabel Adams is the physic profiler that is showcased in this book. She also happens to be blond and on the killers list of potential victims.Kay Hooper often writes books with a touch of the paranormal. In fact there are six books in this series involving the same FBI Special Unit. They have all been pretty good if you don't mind the somewhat convenient device of "visions" being used to solve crimes. This book is the weakest of the six in the series. It relies very heavily on the psychic experience. The book gets bogged down in all the psychic detail. It got to be a little too much when main characters would touch and they literally would spark. The book was suspenseful at times and the killer did turn out to be a surprise. It's not a bad read, but Hooper has done better in the past

Summary: anticipation
Review: As I have yet to have the privelige of reading this latest in a long list of winning works by Kay Hooper, I can only say I expect to will be as big a hit as all her others. She is a brilliant author who is able to centre on the way in which the true psychic performs, without fanfare or grandstanding. I can't wait to get it in my hot little hands to devour the latest in tension and mystic. I am sure I am not going to be disappointed.

Summary: Subpar
Review: Being a Kay Hooper fan, I naturally ran out and bought the book the first day it came out in hardcover. Well, I won't be doing that again. Too many characters were running around in this story to even keep track of who they were, let alone to wonder what purpose they served. This book also had many pages of explanations about the wonderful world of psychics that didn't (in my opinion)serve the plot. And there were many unexplained references to past books, including a character from the first book in the "Evil" Triology, that were confusing even to me as a reader of her previous novels. And the ending extremely disappointed me, to say the least. Overall, I'd advise one to skip this novel and check out her "Shadows" Trilogy.

Summary: Had promise - but died
Review: I couldn't sleep the other night and picked up Sense of Evil. In the past I have liked all of Kay Hooper's books so I figured it was something that would keep me absorbed. I have to admit that I had to force myself to put it down in order to get some sleep, but on picking it up the next day - it seemed to lose something as the story progressed. In finding out "who did it" I was totally disappointed and felt totally cheated. Upon finishing and closing the book I felt like I had wasted my time reading it. This is not one I would recommend. I don't know why the publishers felt this one was worth publishing in hardback.

Summary: Good book but suggest you wait for paperback
Review: I delayed buying this book for a long time due to the reviews on this site. Recently, I read the excerpt and decided to purchase it. I have to agree that the character development was poor, that the story got bogged down in all the psychic detail. However, I'd say the tale was fairly decent. I definitely cared enough about the story to want to finish and find out who the killer was. I'd definitely say wait for the paperback edition or even take it out of the library, though.

Summary: DISAPPOINTED
Review: I have been a fan of Kay Hooper for many many years and have always enjoyed her work. However, this book was a complete disappointment. I found the characters in this story to be totally devoid of emotion, even when they were sharing their personal horror stories. I also found that most of the dialog was repetitive and easily skipped. I hope readers new to Ms. Hooper's work will not base their opinon on this one book, but will try many of her other works.

Summary: An unexpected disappointment
Review: I have been a Kay Hooper fan for over fifteen years and I really looked forward to this book. Unfortunately it was not up to her usual standards. The plotline, characterizations, and romance were all sidelined by repeated explanations of the whys and hows of psychic policework. The relationship between the couple and even the suspense of hunting the murderer never seems to develop. Read any of her other books, but I'ld give this one a pass.

Summary: thrilling! chilling! reading.
Review: I have been reading this series since kay hooper started it and all i have to say is if you haven't read it than please run directly to your nearest bookstore and start with the first one until you get to a sense of evil. it is so captivating that i just read it in one setting, and i don't mean it took me a whole day. battling evil, finding love and not wanting to accept whats right there in front of you well this is it. i can promise you you want be sorry. i think you need to read the other three books before you start a sense of evil so you can understand how they have gotten to were they are now.. enjoy.

Summary: Mystery or Romance? Both missing.
Review: I have enjoyed Ms. Hooper's work in the past but Sense of Evil read as a textbook on psychics and abnormal psychology couched in conversations. Most of the conversations were between two people who were supposed to be attracted to each other but, while they sparked when touching in the book, there was no spark for this reader. I found the main characters shallow and Rafe's abilities unexplained other than her had a psychic grandmother. The action manifested itself in gory descriptions of disemboweled bodies but the police spent most of their time sitting in the station house looking at papers . . and talking (did I mention all the talking?). I don't require physical romance in a mystery or a detailed mystery in a romance story. Unfortunately this book missed both targets - the mystery is not tantalizing and the romance and sex are non-existant. So, why read the book? I kept thinking something would happen and I did want to know the killer, which was a good denoument but predictable by the last third of the book. So 2 stars since I did feel compelled to finish it - but her earlier series involved the reader much more.

Summary: A Chore To Finish The Book!
Review: I have never written a Review before, but I do read many of the Reviews written about the featured books, and enjoy this service to the customers ~ Thanks!
I really struggled through this book and I have read many of Kay Hooper's books. I didn't care for the main characters of the book, as I felt that they had no substance, and that's usually a first sign that this book would be a quick page turner for me.
I also didn't care for the subject matter about Psychics, which took of up most of the book. I felt I was reading a text book instead of a novel, and that's not what I'm looking for in a book.
I read a lot of Mystery Books, and most of them have great plots, but I had to search through this one to find any kind of a story line.
I won't give up reading Kay Hooper's novels, and hope I enjoy her next suspense novel, better than I did this one.
