I think what interested me most in this one was how the whole team viewed Salem。 None of them were excited to be going back and even while they were there figuring things out， they all were skittish。 You would think being in a town where so many people have albitites like the team did， it would be a good place for them， they wouldn’t have to hid things as much， nor run into skepticism。 By the time they figured out who the bad guy was， it was just sad in so many ways。

I was surprised to be back in Salem with Bishop and the team because usually there aren't 2 monsters in the same town。 This was a great book。 The characters are intriguing and fit perfectly！ The story had many twists。 The whole thing was simply amazing。 I couldn't put it down！ I am a huge fan of Ms。 Hooper's Bishop books and this One was no different。 I can't wait to see who goes up against what in the next book！ I was surprised to be back in Salem with Bishop and the team because usually there aren't 2 monsters in the same town。 This was a great book。 The characters are intriguing and fit perfectly！ The story had many twists。 The whole thing was simply amazing。 I couldn't put it down！ I am a huge fan of Ms。 Hooper's Bishop books and this One was no different。 I can't wait to see who goes up against what in the next book！ 。。。more

Another terrific story in her continuing series of Noah Bishop and his Special Crimes Unit。 Made up of agents with paranormal abilities & skills， they come to Salem to try to stop a brutal killer who seems intent on striking out against the remaining members of the 5 original founding families of Salem。 Once again Kay combines the real life， everyday detecting skills of her characters with their empathic， divining and just "hovering around supernatural" strengths to find the way forward out of t Another terrific story in her continuing series of Noah Bishop and his Special Crimes Unit。 Made up of agents with paranormal abilities & skills， they come to Salem to try to stop a brutal killer who seems intent on striking out against the remaining members of the 5 original founding families of Salem。 Once again Kay combines the real life， everyday detecting skills of her characters with their empathic， divining and just "hovering around supernatural" strengths to find the way forward out of the dark and evil abyss。Really like all these characters and have a very strong "feeling" another edition is coming。 。。。more

Two of Bishops Special Crimes Unit receive a warning in the Gray Time。 There is something about to happen in the town of Salem。 This is a paranormal romance/mystery。 I enjoyed the previous book but for some reason this one didn’t seem as good to me personally。 I read it to see how the story would end but to me it wasn’t a page turner。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。

A big thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC。 I am voluntarily reviewing this book。 This is the 20th in a series。 It does read well as a stand alone， although there are alot of characters， which could be overwhelming。 I actually thought there were to many characters， any everyone has unique paranormal capabilities。 This is not a romance， but really a mystery， thriller。 I guess there is a hint of romance with Nellie and Finn。 While I enjoyed it， I would have liked to lear A big thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC。 I am voluntarily reviewing this book。 This is the 20th in a series。 It does read well as a stand alone， although there are alot of characters， which could be overwhelming。 I actually thought there were to many characters， any everyone has unique paranormal capabilities。 This is not a romance， but really a mystery， thriller。 I guess there is a hint of romance with Nellie and Finn。 While I enjoyed it， I would have liked to learn more about Nellie and Finn and less on the FBI agents。 Just a thought。 I know that this is a super popular series and that many will love this book。 3。5 stars 。。。more

I have been a fan of this author for many， many years， and I realized it had been a couple of years since I read a book by her。 This one broke that streak。 It was so great to be back in Bishop’s world with his group of operatives around him。 I remembered most of them from previous books， and it was so much fun getting to remember and get to know them again。 This was exactly the kind of book I remember this author writes: well-written， fast-paced， excellent characters， and a great way to spend a I have been a fan of this author for many， many years， and I realized it had been a couple of years since I read a book by her。 This one broke that streak。 It was so great to be back in Bishop’s world with his group of operatives around him。 I remembered most of them from previous books， and it was so much fun getting to remember and get to know them again。 This was exactly the kind of book I remember this author writes: well-written， fast-paced， excellent characters， and a great way to spend a few hours of time。 You don’t need to have read the others in the series to enjoy this one， but reading the others is really worth it to understand some of the undertones。 Highly recommend。 I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed。 。。。more

I loved it！ I've been following this series since the start and I don't waste any time digging in when a new one is released。 The team assigned to this case was top notch。 Bishop got his hands dirty with his involvement and Hollis was insightful and amusing when she was pondering ideas。 It was extremely interesting following along when they all partnered up out on sites and were talking out theories。 And their camaraderie is tight like a family。 Excellent series！ ARC netgalley。com I loved it！ I've been following this series since the start and I don't waste any time digging in when a new one is released。 The team assigned to this case was top notch。 Bishop got his hands dirty with his involvement and Hollis was insightful and amusing when she was pondering ideas。 It was extremely interesting following along when they all partnered up out on sites and were talking out theories。 And their camaraderie is tight like a family。 Excellent series！ ARC netgalley。com 。。。more

I so enjoy Kay Hooper's writing。 I loved being back with Hollis and Diana and this was a very engaging story。 Set in Salem， I love the familiarity of this book with a new plot。 I think the best part of this book is that she seems to have narrowed her focus and instead of introducing a new main character as she usually does， she focuses on the powerful couples we already now。 My biggest concern with this series is that there are so many characters in this world and you need the usually provided c I so enjoy Kay Hooper's writing。 I loved being back with Hollis and Diana and this was a very engaging story。 Set in Salem， I love the familiarity of this book with a new plot。 I think the best part of this book is that she seems to have narrowed her focus and instead of introducing a new main character as she usually does， she focuses on the powerful couples we already now。 My biggest concern with this series is that there are so many characters in this world and you need the usually provided character map to figure out who is who。 If Kay can stick to the characters she does really well， keep the tight editing and pacing and come up with new， intriguing plots， I'll continue to happily read。 。。。more

I have missed this world of psychics and am so glad to be back amongst the characters I loved so much。Diana and Hollis are pulled into the "gray time" once again by a guide named Daniel。 Here， they are told about a serial that is haunting Salem and they need to go there to figure out what is happening。 They were shown many of the victims and how they lost their lives， in vivid color， which is odd for the "gray time"。The "gray time" is super creepy， every time they were transported there and witn I have missed this world of psychics and am so glad to be back amongst the characters I loved so much。Diana and Hollis are pulled into the "gray time" once again by a guide named Daniel。 Here， they are told about a serial that is haunting Salem and they need to go there to figure out what is happening。 They were shown many of the victims and how they lost their lives， in vivid color， which is odd for the "gray time"。The "gray time" is super creepy， every time they were transported there and witnessed these deaths， I felt a little ill。 That is just a testiment to how well it is written。 I had a hard time figuring out what was happening， which I also loved。 I don't like figuring out the twist too early， and this one kept me guessing。 The only issue I had was the amount of characters in the book， I felt like I couldn't keep track of who was with who at all times。 Each character felt like a main character instead of side characters。 Thank you to Berkley， Kay Hooper and Netgalley for an early copy。 。。。more

I love this series！ In this book we get so see alot of my favorite couples from previous books， including Bishop and Miranda。。 you know the case will be a good one when those two get involved， also Diana and Quinten， and Reese and Hollis are favorites as well so it was nice to see what they have been up to since we last saw them。 I love how our psychics don't have it all figured out just because they have special talents。 Each case has them learning new things about their abilities， and causes t I love this series！ In this book we get so see alot of my favorite couples from previous books， including Bishop and Miranda。。 you know the case will be a good one when those two get involved， also Diana and Quinten， and Reese and Hollis are favorites as well so it was nice to see what they have been up to since we last saw them。 I love how our psychics don't have it all figured out just because they have special talents。 Each case has them learning new things about their abilities， and causes them to grow and change。 We are back in Salem once again。。 something evil has woken up， and is attacking members of the community。 Diana and Hollis have gotten a vision telling them that they need to travel back to Salem， thankfully they have a good relationship with the locals from their last visit。 People are going missing， and since alot of the residents in Salem have some sort of psychic talents it will make it that much harder to figure out who is behind whats going on。 We get to see from the killers perspective and how he is planning on playing his game with my favorite Feds。 It will keep you guessing about whats going to happen next and how everything is connected。 After reading this one I decided to restart the series from the beginning， I can't wait to read them all over again。 and I hope we get many more books in this series！！ 。。。more

Evil has once again reared its ugly head in Salem。 SCU agents Hollis Templeton and Diana Hayes， who are both mediums， are both pulled into a world of the realm of the dead one night that gives warning that another killer is at work in Salem。 Problem is like the first killer that was defeated in the previous book from Salem， this one also has psychic powers。 First， I loved that all the “main” characters in this book were all previous couples from other books in the series。 This time Noah Bishop， Evil has once again reared its ugly head in Salem。 SCU agents Hollis Templeton and Diana Hayes， who are both mediums， are both pulled into a world of the realm of the dead one night that gives warning that another killer is at work in Salem。 Problem is like the first killer that was defeated in the previous book from Salem， this one also has psychic powers。 First， I loved that all the “main” characters in this book were all previous couples from other books in the series。 This time Noah Bishop， FBI SPU Unit Chief （along with being a very powerful telepath） and his equally as powerful wife Miranda are accompanied by Hollis and her partner/lover Reece DeMarco and Diana and her husband/partner Quentin Hayes。 These 3 couples have become staples of the series and are all very powerful with each of their gifts。 Also returning is Salem's Chief Deputy Finn Deverell and Nellie Cavendish who were a big part of the previous book。 These are great go-to books for paranormal fans。 。。。more

It has been awhile since I’ve read any from this series。I thought the book started out really good。 After a few chapters it seemed to get lost and rambled on and on。 I thought the last several chapters were better， more interesting。 Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

This is the twentieth book in a series that began in 2000。 This time Bishop， his wife Miranda， Hollis Templeton and Reese Demarco， and Diana and Quentin Hayes find themselves returning to Salem at the request of Finn Deverell who is the Chief Deputy。 Mediums Hollis and Diana have had a vision in the gray time which indicates that a serial killer is going to be killing members of the five powerful， psychic families that control Salem。 When Finn calls them in because of a farseeing by one of the E This is the twentieth book in a series that began in 2000。 This time Bishop， his wife Miranda， Hollis Templeton and Reese Demarco， and Diana and Quentin Hayes find themselves returning to Salem at the request of Finn Deverell who is the Chief Deputy。 Mediums Hollis and Diana have had a vision in the gray time which indicates that a serial killer is going to be killing members of the five powerful， psychic families that control Salem。 When Finn calls them in because of a farseeing by one of the Elders， they are ready to respond in numbers。 But Salem isn't their usual scene。 Psychic powers don't work as usual。 There is a lot of interference that has just gotten worse since the events of HIDDEN SALEM （2020）。 They do have other allies in town besides Finn。 Nellie Cavendish is a powerful multi-talent who is a recent arrival in town and just getting used to her considerable powers - when she isn't trying to deny them。 Even the crows are useful allies。When a man who's had a fight with his wife disappears， and then is found tortured to death， and another man is kidnapped almost immediately after the first disappearance， the team begins to think that someone is really trying to destroy member of the five families。 But that doesn't make a lot of sense since about 40% of the town is related in some way to the families。Then Hollis has another vision and a young woman named Megan Hales comes to her and tells her she was the first。 This comes as a surprise because everyone thought that she had left Salem to make a new life for herself after being jilted by her fiancé shortly before their planned wedding day。 Being led to her buried body by the crows turns their investigation onto a new path。The story is filled with all kinds of paranormal abilities along with being a police procedural。 It was interesting trying to figure out who the villain was and to watch the team go off in all sorts of directions until they could focus on the correct villain。 Fans of the Bishop/SCU stories won't want to miss this latest episode。 。。。more

I haven’t read this series in years but found this new one。 Although it is the second in a trilogy， it really is a standalone story。 There were references to the previous book， but I had no problem without having read it。 Enjoyed and will continue on with the series。

The Special Crimes Unit receives a warning that the town of Salem is facing a serial killer targeting the leading families in brutal ways。 They dispatch multiple investigators， but they are partially stymied by the unnaturally high energy field in town。Quite short， and ends a bit suddenly。 But worth reading for fans of the series。
