Publisher Description
A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Harrison, famed paranormal investigator. The six members he’s gathered know a little of the otherworldly — each has honed a psychic talent of their own. Jackson Crow, part English, part Cheyenne, heads the group. Haunted by his experience with an ancestral ghost who saved his life as a child, and the recent murders of two previous teammates, Jackson can’t tell if Adam’s demoted him or given him an extraordinary opportunity. Despite his link to the realm of spirits, he’s well aware that the living commit the most heinous crimes, with spiritualist charlatans existing merely to fool and seduce the unwary. To counterbalance Jackson’s careful skepticism, Adam Harrison has paired him with Angela Hawkins, a young woman who learned the painful lesson of loss at an early age. A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition in Virginia, she already has her hands full. But Adam’s call to New Orleans is strong. The case: In a historic mansion in New Orleans’ French Quarter, a senator’s wife falls to her death from a balcony. Most think she jumped, distraught over the loss of her young son. Some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits that inhabit the house — once the site of a serial killer’s grisly work. Whether supernatural or all too human, crimes of passion, greed, and desire will cast the pair into danger of losing their lives... and their immortal souls. “Graham does a great job of blending just a bit of paranormal with real, human evil.” —Miami Herald “Graham wields a deftly sexy and convincing pen.” —Publishers Weekly “An incredible storyteller.” —Los Angeles Daily News Hear more about Adam Harrison's secret government unit in the Krewe of Hunters trilogy.

"I don't usually read ghost stories, but it was a good balance of realism and fantasy and made for an intriguing mystery story. If I could give it 3 1/2 stars, I would. My favorite part of this the book was the setting. After vacationing in NOLA twice, I was very familiar with many of the locations mentioned throughout. It's practically a semi-fictional tour guide of the French Quarter. Don't let the cover fool you -- the house that the Krewe of Hunters is investigating is not the LaLaurie house (I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for days if it had been). The characters are likeable (at least the ones that are supposed to be liked), but I'm not sure if I will like other books in this series as well if I'm not as familiar with the location."

— Kimberly, 2/13/2014 -
" I really enjoy the mix of paranormal mystery with a touch of romance. I look forward to each Heather Graham book. "
— Heidi, 2/13/2014 -
" It was a very interesting mystery and I didn't even guess who was the one who did it. I did have to skip over a few parts of the book because I could see it was leading up to smut. Other then that, it was a pretty riveting book. "

" was okay, but had her standard in her paranormal romance. also, i do recommend reading this book first in the series. Only because this first case is mention in the other books as well. "
— Brianna, 2/2/2014 -
" I believe Heather Graham is my new favorite author, I am really loving her books. I had read the Flynn Brother trilogy and loved it and I liked this book even more. This one had me actually creeped out a little bit and nervous to turn my light off at night. I absolutely love how Graham is able to weave a murder mystery in with paranormal activity. "
— Sarita, 1/18/2014 -
" Heather Graham another of my favorites not much she writes disappoints me i really liked this one! "
— Amber, 1/18/2014 -
" Ghosts right off the bat and the author blends the story nicely. Wasn't sure until the very end what was going on and who was responsible, will read more in this series. "
— David, 1/14/2014 -
" I read the first four books straight through and can't wait for the Krewe of Hunters book! Paranormal and mystery in a perfect combination! I absolutely love Heather Graham's series! "
— Cindy, 1/12/2014 -
" Reminds me of a tv series i used to watch but cant remember the name of but enjoyed. I am enjoying reading the series but not the best i have ever read is medioca "
— Karen, 1/1/2014 -
" Fantastic! I loved reading about the "Krew's" beginning. I also have always found New Orleans fascinating, so I really enjoyed the setting. "
— Amber, 12/30/2013 -
" Story starts with potential to engross, but stalls out early midway through. Characters somewhat lackluster. Ghost hunters trying to determine what killed the wife of a senator in a spooky house with a bad reputation in the French Quarter. Just when you think things are going to heat up in their investigation, they start debating whether ghost exist or not. " Did you see something? I think I did, but I don't believe in ghosts." After while this got to be rather annoying rather than intriguing. The main characters have their romantic moments, but something was missing . I was disappointed in this book . I have read previous books by this author that were much better. This one just doesn't hold together and is predictable. "
— Evelyn, 12/29/2013 -

— Jessica, 11/25/2013 -

— Trish, 11/13/2013 -
" Great book! Heather Graham is one of my favorite authors, I never would have guess "who did it". Can't wait to start the next in the series. "

" So slow to get going! The ending was interesting, but I almost gave up half way through because they spent so much time introducing so many characters that they didn't get to the real story until half way through. Very disappointed. "

" The story had a good twist at the end, which is something I look for in a book. The paranormal aspect wasn't too overdone to be unbelievable, and the plot moved along well. Not a page-turner, but I enjoyed it. "
