Haunted (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit #15)
When Deacon James’s younger sister Melanie calls him, terrified, he goes to her aid in the small Georgia town of Sociable. What he finds is a scared young woman in the grip of what she insists is a paranormal nightmare—and murder. Two local men have been killed under mysterious circumstances. And Melanie is the prime suspect.
Trinity Nichols left a high-stress job for quiet, small-town life. But news of the murders has left her—and the town—on edge, especially when there is nothing remotely ordinary about how the men died. And her investigation is yielding more than she bargained for, including a group of strangers who have descended on Sociable, some with abilities Trinity finds hard to believe, and agendas she refuses to trust. For some reason, they know a lot more than they should about what’s happening in town. And what’s happening is growing stranger by the minute.
Now Trinity, Deacon, and this odd band of FBI agents must work together to solve a series of disturbances so incredible that Trinity, and the town of Sociable, will be changed forever. She just isn’t certain who—or what—will be left standing when it’s all over.
3.5 stars.
Actual Rating: 3.5 StarsThere are two reasons why I liked this book the best out of the three Haven books:1) While the book still dragged like the previous two did, once the investigating team got together, I got really interested. And also Trinity Nichols kind of reminds me of Miranda Bishop when she was still a police detective in Out of the Shadows--shes competent, level-headed, and shes got aces all up in her sleeves.2) Hollis gets a lot of book time. (view spoiler)[And Hollis gets her
Reading Haunted brought me back to high school years when I was absolutely in love with Dean Koontz's intense, if a bit cheesy and naive, supernatural thrillers/horrors.Kay Hooper's writing style reminded me a lot of Koontz's, and in the best possible way.Upon starting this novel, I had absolutely no idea this was book #15 in a series. Not that it mattered anyway, because Hauntad works just perfectly as a stand-alone. I still enjoyed reading it and had no problem following the plot, though had I
PredictableSame story written for about the 5th time. Best character is the dog. No character development no chemistry between characters.
My only disappointment was the ending felt rushed...suspense drawn out, and then bam it's over
