This review was written by Marie for a guest review post on Ever After Book Reviews blog: 3.5 Stars I am a big fan of this series. I always have been. And with each book, I’ve kept up the hope that it will continue to be just as good as the first time I picked it up. Sadly, for me, that hope is quickly dwindling. Now, don’t get me wrong. Ms. Hooper is a fantastic storyteller. She knows how to take an idea and run with it. And while she does that in Wait For Dark, she also adds what I like to call, too much filler. The incessantly unneeded conversation that rehashes theory after theory of what could/could not be happening and why. I mean, I love suspense novels just as much (if not more) than the next person, so I understand that conversation is necessary. But when it gets to the point that I’m skipping over a lot of it because it’s redundant… that’s a problem for me. One of the things that I truly enjoyed in this book, however, was Hollis. She always has been a favorite of mine, so to see her character develop further and be given the spotlight made my day! She was the bright light of this book, and honestly is what saved it for me. All of that being said, it’s still a pretty solid plot. It’s still full of characters that we’ve all come to know and love. So, naturally, I did finish the book and I did enjoy it. I just think that maybe, if there’s more books to come, Ms. Hooper should fill the story with more plot/development, and less repetitive conversation. ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and feelings are my own***

Kay hooper really knows how to grip the reader into the story.. I have loved all her books with the SCU.. The characters feel real and you connect with them... I have even cried with them... Hollis Templeton is one of my favorite characters in this series... This book was the same as the others before it... Amazing, gripping and thrilling... You will love reading all of them..
