SCU Agent Riley Crane has just woken up and it seems to be in her own bed but not everything is normal. Riley is fully dressed, has a horrible migraine, she covered in dried blood and has no memories of what she is doing here. Riley calls Bishop who tells her that she was asked to Opal Island by her ex-army buddy Gorden Skinner to investigate some fires set by occult worshipers. To confuse Riley even more she is called to a crime scene where there is a man hanging over a stone alter and he is decapitated.IS THIS WHY RILEY WAS COVERED IN DRIED BLOOD?Sheriff Jake Ballard seems to thing Riley can solve this with her SPECIAL gifts but D.A. Ash Prescott wants her off the case. Both of these men act like bitter rivals and both seem to know a lot about her.IS SHE INVOLVED WITH EITHER... OR BOTH?Can Riley tell anyone about her memory loss? She decides to tell her ex-army buddy Gordon but can he help her remember or did he have something to do with the mess she is in?

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

SLEEPING WITH FEAR is an utterly confusing book and I loved it for that reason. The book mirror's the experiences of the lead character and thus a reader is kept in the dark the same way the main character is. I never had a handle on what was happening until the big reveal and that was amazing.THE STORY: Riley Crane wakes up and realizes that she has no memory of the previous three weeks. She figures out that she has come to town to investigate some possible occult activities. She is most worried about the fact that she has awoken covered in blood, there has been a murder and that sometime in the last three weeks she appears to have acquired a lover, Ash Prescott. Riley needs to figure out what has happened to her and who she can trust.OPINION: I really liked this book. The book is constructed so that the reader experiences the same sense of confusion that Riley does. Because the book is told from Riley's point of view, the reader is left to question who can Riley trust. That gives the book real suspense. The book kept me guessing throughout and this was a book that I could not put down. The problems that Riley has with her memories create problems for the reader as well and I liked this more literary approach to the story. I only wish that there was a little more to the story after Riley discovers what is happening just to wrap up what reality was as opposed to the mistaken memories.WORTH MENTIONING: There is a small cameo from Bishop but otherwise Riley is on her own in this story.FINAL DECISION: This book is quirky and the literary conventions of it are different than the other books. Riley is confused and time and her memories are tricky and sometimes missing and false. The reading experience is purposely the same and thus it takes some effort to decode the story but it is worth it. I recommend this book.CONNECTED BOOKS: SLEEPING WITH FEAR is the ninth book in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series about the psychic FBI agents. It is also the third book in the internal Fear trilogy. This book can be read as a standalone.STAR RATING: I give this one 4.75 stars. It is immensely entertaining and kept me guessing.

I have been reading the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit novels for years. But somehow I never read the book that first introduced some of the main players in all the novels namely Bishop and Miranda. So I bought the Of The Shadows trilogy and reacquainted myself with the "beginning" of it all when Bishop and Miranda first met. It was so much fun that I decided to keep reading some of Kay Hooper's earlier works surrounding these characters and the next trilogy was the Fear trilogy.Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had never read this particular book! Don't know how I missed it. But this book kept me guessing right up until the end. As with all the stories surrounding the Special Crimes Unit, some of the stories are not for the faint of heart and Sleeping With Fear is one of them. But I really enjoyed reading it and will be moving on to another of the earlier trilogies next.These books are a great read and this time I'll be keeping the books so I can revisit old friends again.

Love Kay Hooper! Read this in paperback when it first came out. Decided to retread on Kindle as 'brain candy.' If you don't like cheesy romance novels or lame 'bodice ripper' so called 'historical' novels but you do like a little romantic thread running through a mystery to solve theme complete with a touch of paranormal then Hooper's Special Crimes Unit series is great for that. Hooper does write some cheesy romances but this series is less emotional romantic hoopla than otherss.

I love all of Kay Hooper's Bishop/SCU Books. They are fast moving with lots of action and tender moments included. I love that she gets the group together after their stories are told. They read for me too quickly as I can't put them down. I read in the morning, at lunch time and when I get home until I'm finished with the books. Other books don't hold me that enthralled, that I can't put them down. But I have a % time that I go by when reading. If I haven't got to 30% by the Lunch Hour is over it's not a book I want to try to finish. I not worth my time.

Riley was a really interesting woman and Ash was a good help mate for her. The story was really interesting and I really enjoyed the twists and turns the story took. This was an unusual case to say the least!
