Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PLEASING
Review: THIS BOOK WAS INTERESTING .I WAS ABLE TO STAY WITH THE STORY LINE AND HAD NO PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE KIDNAPPING AND MURDER OF DINAH WAS NOT SURPRISING BUT THE TWIST AT THE END SURPRISED ME. IT WAS WORTH READING AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay, but a little strange
Review: This book was okay, but not as good as "Stealing Shadows". Hardly anything made since and the chartacters just weren't endearing. The ending didn't help, how strange. If you are a mystery fan you might enjoy this book. I'm going to start on the third book and hope that it's as good as the first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Is like a scary ride through every page!
Review: This book will keep you wondering every second. You will Stay up to 5 am finish it! It is worth reading it twice

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not my favorite in this series
Review: This is the story of Faith Parker who awakens from a coma and has no memory of her past. The only link to her past has been reported missing. Kay Hooper's novel is well thought out and interesting, but I liked the other two in this series better. Her stories are always unique, but for some reason, this book didn't click with me as well as the other two did. It is worth a read though!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read
Review: This series is very interesting. I love the concept of clairvoyance.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disapointed
Review: Unlike the first "In the Shadows" book the second book left be disapointed. It started off well, but the ending left somthing to be desired.

Faith Parker has been in a coma ever sense a car accident, and she is not expected to wake up. Faith does wake up, however, but without her memory. She is told by hospital workers what happend to her. She also learns that she had a visiter, Dinah Leighton, who visited while she was in the coma, and had provided a trust found for her if she ever woke up. Unfortunatly Dinah has gone missing. Shortly after she wakes Faith begins to have dreams of herslef and a man she does not know, and in her search to find out exactly who she is meets the man - Dinah's boyfriend, Kane. Confused and lost Faith, Kane, and his friend Noah Bishop work to find out what happend to Dinah, and in the process uncover things about Faith's path, and why she ended up in the hospital.

Like I said, this book started off well, but I really did not like the ending. It seemed a but unrealy and far-fetched to me. but if you read the first book, go ahead and get this one, you might like it more than I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Suspense Thriller with a Bone Chilling Ending
Review: When Faith comes out of the coma she has no memory of the accident that almost killed her, or of anything else. Her mind is a blank, but then she starts getting memories of her reporter friend Faith. She dreams of a man she doesn't know and has vision of violence all too real. She teams up with Dinah's boyfriend Kane and with FBI agent Noah Bishop and they try to solve the riddle of Faith's dreams before it's too late.

This five star psychic thriller has an ending that'll keep you thinking for weeks. I never would've or could've guessed it. It chilled me to the bone. Kay Hooper has shed her romantic past. She is a thriller writer now.

Summary: Keeps You Guessing
Review: When Faith Parker wakes from a long accident-induced coma, she has virtually no memory. She doesn't even remember her friend, journalist Dinah Leighton, who visited her every day at the hospital and who has now disappeared. As bits and pieces of Faith's memory gradually return, never mind that they seem to be someone else's memories, it appears that she was helping Dinah with an investigative piece, but the details have been lost. It also appears that someone was banking on Faith never waking up. As attempts are made on her life, she turns to Dinah's fiance for help. But can he be trusted, especially when it becomes apparent that Faith has some sort of psychic connection to the missing Dinah? This is an elegant little thriller with supernatural overtones, and readily recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Will the Real Kay Hooper Please Stand Up?
Review: Will the real Kay Hooper please stand up? I have read just about every book this woman has written--yet, her last two books are so different, they have just blown me away! Ms. Hooper has outdone herself and brought her writing to a whole new dimension that I, for one, find fascinating beyond belief.

Hiding in the Shadows is Ms. Hooper's second installment of the Shadows' books. Once again, we see Noah Bishop, the FBI profiler, in a story that deals with the unknown. He has come to help his good friend, Noah MacGregor, look for Dinah Leighton. Dinah is an investigating reporter who is hot on the trail of something so big that she is not about to reveal anything until she has all the facts. Then suddenly she disappears without a trace. Mixed into this situation is Faith Parker, a friend of Dinah whom no one seems to know anything about. Faith is lying in the hospital in a deep coma of which she will not awaken from according to the medical experts. Dinah disappears and Faith awakens. Coincidence?

I thought Stealing Shadows, the first book in this series was the best I've read this year. Hiding in the Shadows, while not as intense as the first, tells a fascinating story of how souls and lives become tangled together. It is in its own rights, a great book with characters you find yourself caring about. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating the final book in this series. Hopefully, Noah's story will finally be revealed. If not, Ms. Hooper better be planning some more books in this series.

Kay Hooper, wherever you are, please continue this style of writing. Your last two books have earned a spot on the same shelf with J. D. Robb's books for being new and inventive with a story line and characters that I intend to follow as long as you keep writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent book I couldn't put down!
Review: Wow! I can't imagine anybody not liking this book. I was pulled in from the very beginning and read it almost straight through. Needless to say, I'm going straight to the next book in the series.

Faith Parker is in a terrible automobile accident that puts her in a coma. Her only visitor Dinah, an investigative reporter, disappears several weeks before Faith wakes up with amnesia. All alone in the world, Faith begins having dreams about Dinah and Dinah's boyfriend, Kane. Realizing she is somehow connected to Dinah's disappearance, she joins forces with Kane and a psychic FBI agent, Noah Bishop, to find out what happened to her friend. Frustrated because she can't remember anything, she continues having dreams and hearing Dinah's voice in her head. Through her psychic link with Dinah, she follows the clues in a mad race to save her before she is killed. I thought the book was good from the first page to the last.
