Listened to audiobook - I was a bit disappointed that all the same characters from book 1 didn’t carry over. I didn’t realize every book had different people in it except Bishop. Once I got over that fact I still enjoyed the book.

Hiding in the Shadows is book two in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit and Shadows by Kay Hooper. One morning Faith Parker became involved in a significant accident that left her in a coma. Dinah Leighton visited her friend every day until the day she disappears. Kane MacGregor Dinah's boyfriend was devastated and ask his childhood friend Noah Bishop for help. When Faith came out of the Coma, join forces with Kane to find her friend Dinah. The readers of Hiding in the Shadows will continue to follow Kane and Faith to find out what happens.

Hiding in the Shadows is another enjoyable book to read by Kay Hooper. I always impressed with the way Kay Hooper incorporates her paranormal plots into her books. Hiding in the Shadows did not disappoint. I love Kay Hooper portrayal of her characters and the way they intertwine with each other throughout this book. Hiding in the Shadows show a more gentle side of Agent Noel Bishop. Hiding in the Shadows is well written and researched by Kay Hooper. I like Kay Hooper description of the settings of Hiding in the Shadows that compliment the plot of this book.

The readers of Hiding in the Shadows will learn about running an Engineering and Architectural firm. Also, the readers of Hiding in the Shadows will understand the problems that investigative journalist have during their investigations.

I recommend this book.

Not as good as the first.

I thought it was lacking in a few ways:
- Vague bad guys with pretty average motives (unlike the first book that featured a serial killer)
- Lack of romance

Also, the twist near the end. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Where Faith basically died while in the coma and Dinah's soul (?) took over, thereby inhabiting her body.. It's not a new concept. They're called "walk-ins" and supposedly, people claim these things have occurred either to them or those they know.

Anyway, it just seemed a bit weird. Is she Faith? Is she Dinah? Is she a mix? She sort of said she was the "third," the joining of the two. But why, if Dinah could see the future and know her fate, why did she act like she didn't have a future at all (as others commented on)? She had to have known she did - within Faith's body, she'd live on. That didn't really match up. I suppose in a way, at least in regard to dealing with her money, that might makes sense as she'd be Faith now, not Dinah and maybe unable to access things as she used to...but then why not will it to Faith? Also, the relationship angle with Kane...seems sort of complicated now - who is he in love with (Faith, Dinah, both?).

Also, I wanted a HEA for Faith. It's her that's the focus of most of the book. We learn bits about her life as things progress and it would have been nice if she got a HEA after all the pain and bad luck she's had. But then we learn she's not Faith, not really, but Dinah. It just felt like, after spending the whole book focusing of Faith, we never got full closure with that. Just oh, well, Faith passed on in the coma and Dinah took over and here's her HEA. But I didn't really want Dinah's HEA, I wasn't as into her character. She was just part of the plot movement to me, a means to progress Faith and Kane's story...only turns out it wasn't. So the ending was a bit meh to me.

*Walk-ins, Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk-in

Girlfriend body went into other ladies body so she technically wasn’t getting cheated on/ he was cheating on her? Sex at the end was steamy

Really good series so far.....

Re-read...one of my favorite series that I read over and over. Started at the beginning and working my way through them all over the course of this year.

Audiobook:-5 stars

Love this series!

The plot of the book has been explained by other reviewers so I won't get into it here. Basically, Faith Parker wakes up in a hospital bed with amnesia and a connection to her best friend and spends the story trying to find her friend and afterward find the friend's killer.

I'm an inveterate re-reader, but this book goes into my delete pile rather than the re-read pile because I really didn't like how it ended. Now you can see the plot-twist ending coming from a mile away, but I seriously had faith that the author would either go a different direction or do it in such a way as to make it okay. I really like most of Kay Hooper's writing, but she couldn't succeed in making any of the characters truly likeable. What really get's to me is that even though we really didn't get to know Faith too well, you know she had a hard life with a lot of loss and I really wanted her to have a happy ending and she didn't get one.

It's a fast-paced story toward the end, but I seriously need to at least start a happier one before I go to bed so I can clear the one out of my brain.

Hummm... interesting, but I like more romance and less creepiness. I hope the next one is better.

It was a great read with good characters and a story completely different from the first book except for the psychic angle perhaps. The mystery was gripping.

I think the only reason ending didn't surprise me is because I kinda expected it, like I could sense it coming and since i don't have much faith in the psychic angle too, this came as a wholly different another world experience where anything can happen, thus, I could digest it unlike others.

Bishop/SCU 2

This book was definitely suspenseful had some extreme twists and turns in it . I loved that I couldn't figure out who the bad guys were and why! But the biggest twist was worth the wait!
