The book that started it all for me!

This is the first book i read of the bishop series and got me hooked! Couldnt put it down

This is another winner in the Shadow series

This third book in the Shadow Series is another winner. Sheriff Miranda Knight and her younger sister, Bonnie, aren't what they seem. That is, they are in hiding in the small town of Gladstone. Both sisters are powerful psychics but nobody knows it. Eight years before a violent serial killer turned their world upside down when Miranda used her gift to help the FBI hunt him down. Instead, he escaped capture and Miranda fled with Bonnie. She changed their names and became sheriff of a small town that appeared innocent on the surface. Unfortunately, another killer was in town and teenagers were showing up dead and mutilated. Miranda called in the FBI and was once again working with FBI profiler, Noah Bishop. Miranda tries to keepher distance because he had betrayed her eight years before when they were working on the case together. She had been in love with him then and didn't want to let him touch her heart again. Though he is also a powerful psychic, he can't read Miranda because of the walls she has built around herself. This was a page turner for me, just like the other books in the series. Suspense builds as each new body is revealed as well as the personal relationship between Miranda and Bishop. I'm in the process of buying every book I can find by Hooper.She has become an automatic buy for me.

WOW!! What a spooky book

I really liked this book! Miranda Knight is a woman living in a small town, trying to keep safe her 16-year old sister, when a string of bizarre murders happens. She is forced to call in her old flame Noah Bishop, who may be the only person who can help her to solve these murders. Bishop was featured in Kay Hooper's other books of the "Shadows" trilogy. "Out of the Shadows" was one of those books you just don't want to put down. I was almost late for work because I didn't want to stop reading before I got to the end. The ending of the book, as you'll find out for yourself, was a bit of a surprise. Just when you thought it was over and everyone was going to live happily ever after, another twist came along in the plot. The tension between Miranda Knight and Noah Bishop just sizzled. I was hoping for them to get together from the very beginning because, after reading the other "Shadows" books, I just HAD to know what happened to Bishop. I really liked both their characters, and felt they were very strong, admirable people. This book was very satisfying and definitely gave me chills. I was afraid to go out to my car in the dark after I read it!! No joke!! If you are looking for a light read that will amuse you and keep you in suspense, this is the book for you. Definitely the best one of the trilogy.

Please Continue the Shadow Series!

Kay Hooper ends the Shadows series with an explosive book. Out of the Shadows tells Noah Bishop's story that has been hinted at in the previous two stories--and oh, what a story it is. This book will reach out and pull you into the story--and the ending? Get ready to be shocked,surprised, and entralled. Sheriff Mirands Knight is reunited with her former lover, Noah Bishop, who heads an unusal branch of the FBI. Because of old wounds and hurts fromt the past, Miranda is reluctant to accept Noah's help. But, her small town in Tennessee is being devastated by a vivious killer who is taking the town's teenagers and savagely butchering them. There are no clues, no way to contain stop this beast. Noah is joined by two members of his team who also possess abilities of the unknown. Together they team up with Miranda to battle the deadly evil that has invaded the town and is stiking its innocent people.Ms. Hooper outdid herself on this one. Just like the first book in this trilogy, there are numberous characters that contribute to the story. You find yourself caring, hurting, and rooting for them. There is some comical relief in this book which keeps it from being too dark. I sincerely hope Ms. Hooper starts another trilogy with emphasis on the unknown. I'll be the first in line to buy!Get this book, find some place to read uninterrupted, and get ready for the ride of your life. If you haven't read the first two in this series, you're in for a treat!If anyone knows of books that are similar in subject matter and great to read, please drop me a line. This was fascinating.

The best so far!

I've read all three in Kay Hoopers Shadows Thrillogy and I must say this is definitly the best yet! In the first book "Stealing Shadows" you meet FBI agent Noah Bishop and throughout you understand more and more of his character. The second,"Hiding in the Shadows", you see him as another secondary character but even more intriguing. Finally in the third book you read his story, which will blow you away.You just can't put these books down, these books are definitly stay up until 3 am reads! Kay's writing is so wonderful and you just keep wanting more! Each one of these books are superb!
