There is a well kept secret agency of federal law
enforcement called the SCU, which stands for Special
Crimes Unit. This agency works to solve crimes that go
beyond the realm of what's considered normal, and each of
the agents has some form of psychic power. SCU is called
in to investigate what may be a serial killer, who is
leaving a trail of murdered young women, as he heads
south. The small town of Sociable, Georgia appears to be
in his path.
Trinity is the sheriff of Sociable. She is also part of
"The Group," which consists of a dozen people from the
town who went to school together, stayed in town, and
socialize together. When one of their members is
murdered, Trinity calls in the SCU, because evidence
points to a killer that the agency dealt with previously,
and believed dead. When another member of the group is
murdered, this time, more brutally than anything the town
has seen, it appears that the murderer may be one of
their own.
The agents from SCU are almost always tested when they
are working on solving a paranormal crime. The man in
charge of the unit, Noah Bishop, has an uncanny ability
to send the agents with the right abilities to defeat the
"monsters," as they call the criminals. In this case,
Hollis is the agent who is going to have to face her
fears and use all her strength to defeat this evil who
has amazing powers that seem to extend even beyond the
grave. Hollis, herself, was brutally attacked years ago,
and has blocked it from her mind to allow herself to
function. It's brought back to her in a most brutal way.
I started reading Kay Hooper years ago when she wrote
strictly romance books. She then turned to romantic
suspense which evolved into thrillers with paranormal
elements. Now her books even touch the horror category.
This is not something I usually read, but her books are
enthralling and compelling. HAUNTED is no exception.
It's engrossing, captivating, graphic, and downright
scary. She has a gift of introducing a multitude of
characters, and letting you into their minds so you come
to know them very well. I believe that readers who enjoy
this genre will be thrilled with this book. It's not
even my regular choice of reading material, yet I
couldn't put it down.
How do you make peace with the dead if the dead aren’t
ready
to forgive? In New York Times bestselling author Kay
Hooper’s new novel, the answer lies in the twisting
shadows
of a small town, and its secrets yet unearthed...
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.
