Part of the Fear Triology. Chill was my favorite of the three. A haunted resort and a killer without conscience makes for double, double toil and wicked trouble. The romantic side was okay too. In case you aren't familiar this is part of the Bishop Series and #2 in Fear Trio.

On a scale of 1-4, I rate a BIG 3! Enjoyable and smooth reading.

This book is one of the best suspense books I have read all year. I can't believe I hadn't read a book by this author before. I know have another author I absolutely must get more from!!! I highly recommend getting this book. And even if you don't believe in the supernatural...

Chill of Fear kept you on toes. Just when you thought you knew what was happening the plot would twist around and take you in another direction. If you like novels that contain crime and romance, then you want to read this one.

Melanie H. (MELNELYNN) reviewed on 11/21/2006...


Kay Hooper books are all very entertaining and fan's of this author know to come to her Bishop/SCU reads with an open mind, and a fair bit of imagination. These are reads where anything goes, and usually does. So keeping that in mind, readers should truly enjoy this fast-paced read.

Quentin Hayes works in Bishop's Special Crimes Unit but every year he has returned to "The Lodge" in order to solve the murder of a childhood friend. Every year he comes away with nothing. This year though, things will be much different because there is someone there that will be able to help him, but first he must convince her that she's not mentally insane, but instead a medium with unheard of power.

Diana Bisco has spent the better part of her life medicated by doctors trying to keep her safe and sane. But Diana is done with the med's and decides on a different course of treatment. She takes an art class at "The Lodge" but this hotel is not what it seems and when she starts seeing dead people she rethinks her mental illness, that is until she meets Quentin. Quentin is going to become very important to her survival if she is going to help those that wander "The Lodge" find peace. Oh, and she must do this before a killer strikes again.

This is truly more of a paranormal/suspense read than a romance read. So those that are looking for an indepth romance read might want to look else where. Otherwise the reader is in for a real treat. Ms. Hooper has combined a great deal into this read but it's all very good. I love her "Bishop" novel's and I look forward to her next effort.

Luckily, I do not live alone...this one gave me the jitters...the waiting for something to reach out from under the bed and grab kind! Can't wait to read the next!
Every once in a while it did seem to move slow, though. Maybe because a lot of the concepts that were fresh to the one character I had accepted long ago as fact in the paranormal world.

This is the first Kay Hooper novel I've read, but I really enjoyed it. It was difficult to put down because there are so many things left hanging when she switches to other character interaction... I wanted to keep reading in order to find out what was happening next with all the characters. I enjoyed the paranormal being an integral part of the main characters and the plot, especially since I love The Dead Zone series!

Julie P. (cindersatin) reviewed on 7/12/2006...
