Hunting Fear A Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novel Kay Hooper Books

From the very first book, from when Bishop started pulling together his special unit of psychics, I wondered if any of the agents would come from carnival or "professional psychic" backgrounds. I always wondered why people who already make a living using psychic abilities wouldn't be included in the unit. Here we find an answer.

Especially people who are involved in carnivals are seen as entertainers, actors. Their abilities aren't believed even by many of the people who pay them for their services. It's just a matter of amusement. Thinking of it that way, it makes sense why Bishop wouldn't want people with that background in his unit. Once you're already in the public eye as a perceived entertainer, it's hard to overcome that and be taken seriously as a law enforcement professional. Especially when a unit is just starting out, it's so important that they be careful and deliberate with their image. Once they have a solid background of successful cases, the idea can be revisited.

That's what we have here. Samantha is an incredibly talented psychic who happens to be working with a carnival. She and Lucas find themselves in a frustrating position of having to work together to try and figure out who is kidnapping people in this sleepy little town. It's not a criminal seeking ransom, because even paying never seems to save the victim.

In this seventh book of the series, I found the criminal story to be less compelling than many of the other books, but the personal relationships and in-depth look at the beginnings of the Special Crimes Unit more than made up for that. Once again, Kay Hooper has created a beautifully balanced story that left me eager to read the next book as soon as possible.

Hunting Fear A Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novel Kay Hooper Books Reviews

I love the Bishop series! I can't get enough. If you haven't read any of them, please consider it. You won't regret it. I didn't read them in order, as each book is its own story, so you don't feel you have to start at "the beginning." If you like psychological horror/murder mysteries and the psychic realm, you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series! No regrets! Well, my only regret is Kay Hooper can't write them fast enough. hahahaha
Having been disappointed in the last several Bishop books because of the incomplete nature of the romance part of the story, I was more pleased with this book where there is more attention paid to the relationship between the main characters. Unfortunately, however, this book continues the trend of the major plotline being that the two main characters are keeping secrets from one another and that is the tension between them. The suspense plot, however, was very good and unexpected.

THE STORY Lucas Jordan works for the SCU and his talent is finding missing people by sensing their fear. When the SCU is brought into a case where a killer is kidnapping and murdering people after receiving ransoms, Lucas feels like a failure as he is unable to find and save the people. Lucas is obsessive and shuts out people. A serious complication that arises is a lover from his past who is also psychic.

Samantha Burke is precognitive and is working as a fortune teller at a traveling fair. When she tells people they are going to be kidnapped, they don't take her seriously. Several years ago, she fell for Lucas, but he treated her poorly and abandoned her. She has inserted herself into the investigations for reasons of her own that she refuses to disclose.
Lucas and Samantha are complicated and much of the time disagreeable. They both have strong walls that prevent a serious relationship between them. This book is all about how they break down those walls while hunting for a killer who is focused on Lucas.

OPINION The suspense story was really good in this one. No one is safe which is normally not the case in these types of books. The combative and testy relationship between Lucas and Samantha is frustrating at times but also integral to the story. Samantha especially is difficult to like because she is purposely pushing Lucas which makes her character seem more abrasive than normal. I did feel that this book was more balanced and complete than the more recent books.

WORTH MENTIONING Some nice cameo appearances by characters that have appeared in other books. Once again Bishop knows more than he reveals.

FINAL DECISION This book is worth the read. The unique nature of the crimes and the unexpected decisions as to the victims made the book much more compelling. I kept turning the pages to find out what was going to happen with the killer and I wanted to see what the secrets were that Lucas and Samantha possessed. I didn't like the characters as much as the previous book, but I did like the plot much better.

CONNECTED BOOKS HUNTING FEAR is the seventh book in the Bishop/SCU series but can be read as a standalone. It is also the first book of the internal Fear Trilogy.

STAR RATING I give this book 4 stars based on the suspense plot that kept me interested throughout.
