" I really enjoy Heather Graham. She writes wonderful mystery stories with just a touch of the paranormal to keep me interested. This one worked on all levels and I would recommend it for readers who like both murder and ghosts all rolled into one fun mystery. "
— Linda, 7/5/2020" This is my first book by Heather Graham and I didn't enjoy it. I just didn't think the story was that compelling. "
— Kimmie, 2/20/2014" I really liked this story as well. However, it is hard to believe a crime was committed due to a 150 year old grudge. Despite this, the action involved is suspenseful enough and keeps you guessing. "
— Jeanne, 2/18/2014" This is the second series I've attempted to read by Heather Graham and I think before I read another of the books in this series I'm going to have to read something in between. I find that she's pretty good at stand alone books but when it comes to series the books after the first book always seem to lack something. "
— Amy, 2/14/2014" Heather Graham does not disappoint with this 2nd book. I like how bk # 2 is more a story about getting to know one of the other team member's life & I like how his personality is revealed so we have his background too. It has the ghost mystery mixed in with the current murder effortlessly lting the past mingle with the present. You're not sure how but you know the past is the reason there is a ghost. "
— Cl, 2/9/2014" I loved this one It was my fave in the whole series.. <3 sucker for southern ghosties "
— Tangled, 1/26/2014" I saw this book at the store and it looked very interesting. I did not realize it was the second book in the series. Inside the cover it showed this book as the first so I thought I was getting the firt but it wasn't. But oh well, I did enjoy the story! Its not exactly what I was expecting but it was still a good read. I am not sure if I will continue with the series or not..... "
— Brandi, 1/24/2014" I enjoyed this book. Heather Graham is a good writer. This book is the 2nd in the Krewe of Hunters series, which deals with the supernatural and ghosts. I'm going to put the 1st book in the series on my "to read" list. "
— Harlow, 1/7/2014" This was a good ghost story but not as gripping as some of Graham's other works. "
— Mikki, 11/29/2013" It was good I just felt this book moved slower than book 1 "
— Autumn, 11/16/2013" I won't bother with this author again. "
— Lorie, 10/20/2013" I really liked this one, but I felt that there was a lack of chemistry between the main characters. I would have also liked the storyline about the ghosts to be more developed. "
— Jennifer, 9/30/2013" A lovely plantation, a civil war reenactment, ghosts and of course murder make this book worth reading. "
— Cheryl, 9/29/2013" excellent mix of paranormal and real mystery. I loved the fact that you were guessing who did it til the very end. "
— Dan, 9/23/2013" pretty good. I thought Ashely was a little emotional at the beginning for pushing Jake away just because he can commincate with ghost. "
— Brianna, 7/8/2013" I really like this book. At the beginning, it was a little slow with the backstory, but then it took off. If you like a who-dun-it mixed with the paranormal this is a fast read. "
— M.L., 6/4/2013" I enjoyed this romantic suspense with a paranormal touch. Jake and Ashley were both very likable characters and I was glad that the rest of the Krewe of Hunters were in this story. Looking forward to the next in the series. "
— Nikki, 4/23/2013" Boring - couldnt read past the first couple of chapters. "
— Finn, 3/9/2013" Southern plantation mystery filed with ghosts, murder and of course ancestors steeped in scandals and intrigue. Fun quick read with a surprising twist in the end. "
— Nora, 2/24/2013" Read this as a stand alone (not in the series) and it was okay. Good plot, but there was a ton of fluff at the beginning. "
— Justine, 12/5/2012" Very good "ghost" story. It grabbed me straight away and didn't let go. Exactly what I expect when I read a Heather Graham novel. "
— Julianna, 11/29/2012" This book wasn't bad but it's not my favorite style. It's a murder mystery/ghost story/romance. I can see the series developing into something more full and interesting with future books. "
— Tracie, 9/18/2012" I liked it, but I wasn't. as looked as the previous two I have read. I think it was the plantation setting that made it not as interesting to me. On to the next one I found. "
— Sheri, 7/2/2012" Good mystery. Love that it's set in the south with southern accents. I prefer this series to her other books. "
— Brandy, 3/3/2012" Great read, like everything I've read of hers. Also wonderful recipes in the back of the book, focusing on the location of the novel! =D "
— Emily, 2/8/2012" Heart of Evil is the second book in Heather Graham's "Krewe of Hunters" paranormal series, and is, as always, a great story. I loved it!! "
— Carolyn, 8/25/2011" Slow start. I thought I would never get through the reenactment. "
