If you were expecting a chilling and intricate plots, this book delivered absolutely that and then some. From the beginning the story just pulled me in starting with the slaying of a woman which became the pinnacle of the whole book.
But I must mention that I kinda felt disappointed with the romance part of the story. Reid was all hot and cold towards Caitlyn through out the first 60% of the book. He was without compassion at times, he just drove me crazy. I like my FBI agent all hot and studly....more

I liked this one better than the first one in the trilogy (Midnight Caller). It was more of an original storyline, the characters were well thought out, and I found myself really enjoying watching the story play out. I wasn't able to figure out who the killer was, which is always a plus, and there wasn't much about the story I didn't enjoy. Although I must say, I was more interested in Reid and his MRI's and prognosis than I was with the relationship between Caitlyn and Reid. Together, they were...more

Dare I say, I always think the second book in a series or by and author, might not be as good as the first. Sorry, I do. And the first book EVER by Leslie blew me out of the water, I loved it!
Well, I think I liked this one more. There, I said it. I went in prepared to be just OK with this book. Not true for me, at all.

One would think having a brother turn out to be a serial killer, who murdered several women in some of the most appalling ways, would be enough for one person to endure. That’s what happened in “Midnight Caller.” But for Caitlyn Cahill, it doesn’t end there. In this newest novel of her trilogy “Midnight Fear,” Tentler brings the reader through another horrendous nightmare as a copycat tries to finish what Caitlyn’s brother Joshua started—and Caitlyn is the prime star of his fantasies. But FBI Ag...more

It was a great suspense thriller with a side of romance.
Reid Novak is an FBI Profiler, and on the hunt for a serial killer. We open the novel with a standoff between Killer and FBI and what happens haunts Reid in the future. Setting things in motion.
I liked Reid, but he was too hot and cold at times. Although it fit with his life and job.

I read the first book by this debut author just last month, and really enjoyed it. Therefore, when I got the chance to read this one I jumped at it. I was anticipating another good mystery along the lines of the first book in the series. What I got, however, was an even better book than Midnight Caller. In the time that has passed between the writing of her first book and this one, the author has certainly honed her craft. This second book of the series had a more exciting story line with a myri...more
Midnight Fear was a compelling romantic suspense novel. Caitlyn Cahill and Reid Novak were both great characters, and I enjoyed the relationship that developed between them. The story line was suspenseful, and had some twists that were unexpected for me. The book kept my attention, and had me constantly wondering what would happen next. I thoroughly enjoy Leslie Tentler's romantic suspense and look forward to her next book.

Midnight Fear is Leslie Tentler’s second novel and follows Agent Novak’s dangerous job to catch a copycat killer before he kills the ex-socialite Caitlyn Cahill.
The book starts with a bang – or more accurately a murder and does not slow down after that. The plot is complex and in places very chilling, although the characterisation, particularly of Novak is at times a bit hit and miss, perhaps a bit 2D for my liking.

Midnight Fear by Leslie Tentler was such a thrill to read I'm sad to see it end. Caitlyn Cahill retreats to her horse ranch, Rambling Rose, to escape the devastation from turning in her brother to police. Joshua Cahill (dubbed the Capital Killer) is now incarcerated for killing numerous women or is he? Copycat murders start to happen in the Washington, DC area as the killer left chess pawns on his victims. The original agent from the case, Reid Novak, is back to investigate, and hopes to get bac...more

This is Leslie Tentlers second book with the FBI. I very much enjoyed first book "Midnight Caller" and this second "Midnight Fear" just as good if not better. She writes first-class romantic suspense novels.

She used the "more dead bodies so the better the story" philosophy on this book. Pushed the book into "unbelievable" territory. There wasn't any police work done. I haven't figured out how if you are working on a case more than 12hrs/day you'd have time to murder a woman a night and hide them. Toss in that Reid is supposedly invested in the case but never actually works on it just shows up after they find the bodies. So is he consulting or not. Supposedly his old partner has a new partner and th...more
Favorite Lines: “Caitlyn turned to face him, panting and unable to catch her breath. He stood less than a dozen feet away, his gun trained on her. Crimson trailed down the side of his head where she had hit him, dripping onto his shirt collar.” (p. 393, egalley)
Book two in Leslie Tentler’s Chasing Evil trilogy, Midnight Fear, follows a woman’s attempt to move forward after her family name was tainted by evil. I thought I was going to love it, but after trying to read the book for three weeks I g...more

OH WOW this is a fantastic thriller, there is so much going on in it my head was spinning but it made it all the more believable. This book is 425 pages of suspenseful magic I didn't see who the copy cat was until just before Caitlyn found out. Once I found out who it was I was not disappointed either it made a macabre sense the it would be him. This story is masterfully done and a must read for thriller fans I will be recommending this book to every one I know!!!
Another great suspense by one of my new favorite authors!

I really liked this book, but am giving it only 4 stars because I had trouble getting into it. After about 120 pages or so it kicked up. Also while I had figured out whe the baddie was early on it was still a great mystery though I was disappointed that it took so long for Reid to figure it out. Figuring out whe the killer is didn't lesson the mystery for me, there was still plenty of surprises and action. Looking forward to more books by Leslie Tentler
Once again, couldn't put it down! Truthfully, I was a bit disappointed when I realized it wasn't a continuation of the first book, but almost immediately, I was swept up into the new plot and new characters that those feelings of disappointment quickly dissipated. I'm thinking I might be turning into a romantic suspense fan... or maybe I'm just a huge Leslie Tentler fan because she writes a DAMN GOOD BOOK!!!

It isn't too often that I read a good mystery where I don't see the ending coming, where I haven't guessed who the villain is and why they have done the terrible deeds they have done and where I can, more than likely, guess how it will all turn out in the end.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is the second in a trilogy by this author, but one book really has nothing to do with the other. While the book followed the same predictable pattern of other books in this genre, there were some test plot twists that i never saw coming. Enjoyed both lead characters and their chemistry together.
I recieved this book free from Goodreads First Reads and I just devoured it. I quickly fell in love with the main characters....you know, the kind, gentle, yet strong and stubborn type! Leslie Tentler has an easy to follow writing style that is still full of description and intrigue. The plot wasn't far fetched and still there were plenty of twists and turns in this wonderful who-done-it. Read this book!
4.5 Gold Crowns. The chilling look inside the mind of a serial killer will haunt readers long after Midnight Fear reaches its stunning conclusion. To view this review in its entirety, please visit http://thereadersroundtable.com/myste...

This book was great!! Better than the 1st. Can't wait to read the 3rd. This book kept me guessing, everytime I thought I had it figured out something else would happen. Her books rank up there with Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner.
Holy cow! What a book!! I read this off and on all day today! I couldn't stop! I had to know what was going to happen and who the copycat killer was!! It was a wild and intense ride! Hats off to you Leslie! I loved this book more than Midnight Caller and I really loved that one!! I can't wait to read the third one! If I had to use one word for this book it would be INTENSE!! You really kept me guessing! Five stars for me!!

This was such an awesome sophomore novel by Leslie Tentler. I am super impressed, and extremely happy that Midnight Caller was not a fluke and this is a new author I can really count on for a great mystery. I got caught up in the story from the very first page and truly never guessed "who did it"! Caitlyn and Reid were a very heart warming couple and I love the obstacles they overcame together. My only complaint, or question if you will, is how this book tied together with the previous novel? I...more
