Something is awry in the small town of Sociable, Georgia.
The death of a local man puts Melanie James squarely in
the
investigation's spotlight and she knows she needs the
assistance of her brother, Deacon James. Deacon is part of
Noah Bishop's specialized FBI unit that uses alternative
means of solving crimes; Deacon is an empath. Meanwhile,
the
sheriff of Sociable, Trinity Nichols, has made her own
call
to Bishop's unit and Hollis Templeton, a medium, and Reese
DeMarco, adept, are also helping out in Sociable. An
unspeakable evil is gathering energy and it will be up to
Hollis, Trinity, Reese, and Deacon to stop it before the
body count continues to mount higher.
HAUNTED is the fifteenth book in Kay Hooper's
Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series but can easily be
read as a standalone. Kay Hooper provides a list of the
various FBI agents and their talents, while also noting
which books the character previously appeared. There
appears
to be an ongoing story arc as there are references to
events
of prior books but Kay Hooper does a marvelous job at
providing readers with all the backstory necessary in
order
to fully enjoy HAUNTED.
We meet a plethora of other characters in HAUNTED, some
more
involved in the storyline than others. I look forward to
catching up with some of the earlier books I've missed
reading in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series as
HAUNTED reminds me of just how much I enjoyed the books I
have read in the series.
HAUNTED is a dark thriller that plunges readers into the
disturbing side of the paranormal. However, Braden
practically steals the show entirely in HAUNTED. Braden is
Trinity's dog who cleverly assists the investigation. I
hope
we see him- and Trinity of course- in future
investigations
as they are a fascinating duo. HAUNTED is easily
recommended!
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.
