Hello, Darkness Paperback – October 31, 2006

Loved the mystery to the very end but hated the sleep I lost cause I couldn't stop reading! Great book Sandra!

Hello Darkness, my old friend...oh wait...just Hello, Darkness. It's so hard not to sing the song with this title.Anywho, I liked what Sandra Brown did with this one. She was able to create five male suspects (well, maybe 2 of them were too weak to be the culprit but still) to keep me on my toes. Usually, I'm able to tell who the culprit is pretty early on. In this one, I had to wait until almost the end, to corroborate my suspicions.Paris Gibson moved to Austin looking for a new beginning. For a couple of years now, she has been doing a music radio show at night. She has developed a faithful and large audience. Paris loves her job. She's able to work almost alone and no one really knows who she is. She likes to wear glasses even in the dark. Her eyes are sensitive and the darkness is her friend.One night, a recurrent caller by the name of Valentino, tells her she's to blame for him kidnapping a young woman and in seventy-two hours, after raping her, he will kill her. Paris immediately seeks the help of the local police. She believes the threat of his listener and she wants to help in any way she can. What she was not expecting is to meet again a man from her past, Dean Malloy.Dean Malloy is a not only a cop, he's also a psychologist. Recently, his teenage son has moved in with him. but they are not seeing eye to eye. His son is rebellious and most of the time has a bad attitude. When Paris comes back into Dean's life, he knows his feelings for her never went away and he will do anything to protect her. Finding Valentino becomes his priority.Hello, Darkness had great suspense with a good built-in romance! I didn't approve of some of the things both main characters have done/doing but it didn't take away from me liking them both. I was glad they were able to have their second chance.As for the bad guy, like I said earlier, there were so many who could be Valentino. The big reveal had its own twist which surprised me.Sandra Brown proves once again, she knows how to write suspense novels.Cliffhanger: No4/5 Fangs

Easy read. No boring pages. So far all of her books have been good.Great books for a vacation bc they aren’t long

Sandra Brown is always excellent. This book is one of the better ones. Can't wait for her next novel. Suspenseful to the end!

Paris was such a wonderful character. Valentino was such an anonymous villain. It made the book difficult to guess the killer. Every time I thought I knew who did it the story took a turn. This book was hard to put down to sleep.

It was not her best writing but a good read. I was not crazy about the ending. It seemed to rushed and all mashed up together.

This book was a good read, but was easily predictable. There were many characters to try to keep track of. It seemed the intent of this was to try to keep the reader guessing.

I have read many books by Sandra Brown over the years. They are always exciting. I've read CHILL FACTOR 4 times, always during the winter. I am just getting back into reading after a 3 year hiatus. HELLO, DARKNESS was the perfect thriller to hold my attention. In my opinion, it is the best of Sandra Brown's books that I have read. It was gripping and loaded with suspects! Of course, there was a romance involved as well! I love her style of writing and the way she blends different characters together! Definitely loved it!

loved this story, as I do all of Sandra Browns books

Fast paced and gripping. Couldn't get to put my Kindle down once I started with the story. Read it all in one go.

It's a nice novel. Light but seductive. Catch your breath in some moments :)I recommend it to read it.

This is my second book by Sandra Brown and I have loved them both. The pace is relentless and you never know who the perpetrator is, even though you have your suspicions, until the very last. I cannot understand how I have not noticed these books before but, as I have, I am delighted. Yes, at times the story becomes slightly implausible, but as its just a brilliant, fast paced story, i overlook this totally. I highly recommend this book, and this author, to anyone who likes a really good mystery / thriller which keeps you guessing until the very end. Another huge 10/10.

Loved the suspense and interaction between main players. Could feel the emotion developing between the two as well as the interweaving emotions/suspense and fear from the other characters. The bad guy is good value, totally creeped me out.I love the 'realness' of the language, sort of things I would say, I really appreciate the humorous touches - even at the darkest hour, we can find or see something funny - for a book to work, it should be as real and natural as possible - this comes very close.If your a Linda Howard devotee you should add Sandra Brown to your list of must reads while waiting for Linda to write again.
