Krewe of Hunters #10
The Night Is Alive
Midnight in Savannah
It's a city of beauty, history & haunting's. And one of the most haunted places in Savannah is a tavern called The Dragonslayer, built in the 1750s. The current owner, Gus Anderson, is a descendant of the original innkeeper and his pirate brother, Blue.
Gus summons his granddaughter, Abigail, home from Virginia, where she's studying at the FBI Academy. When she arrives, she's devastated to find him dead. Murdered. But Abby soon learns that Gus isn't the only one to meet a brutal and untimely end; there've been at least two other victims. Then Captain Blue Anderson starts making ghostly appearances, and the FBI's paranormal investigation unit, The Krewe of Hunters, sends in Agent Malachi Gordon.
Abby and Malachi have a similar ability to connect with the dead and a similar stubbornness. Sparks immediately begin to fly: sparks of attraction and discord. But as the death toll rises, they have to trust each other or they, too, might find themselves among the dead haunting old Savannah!

Ghosts, pirates, secret tunnels, and a quick trip to Savannah (which is on my to do list once everything clears up) all are part of this Krewe trip.

I understand the rule 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it', but that doesn't mean don't change anything except the setting and the names of your characters. Not much is new in this story which might set it apart from the rest. Hell, I could easily change the names and settings and have a description of one of the previous books. Well, except one thing: there is a race against time in this one. They are trying to save someone. It didn't do much for me. It isn't edge-of-the-seat story. They kept referring to that missing person as resilient and strong, but they met her only once before that.
This would be much better if Abby were a civilian. In previous Krewe books when a civilian heroine acted like Abby it worked fine (or almost fine). Even when they were annoying, they weren't as annoying as Abby. I kept on waiting for her to start acting like Angela or any other agent. I should have ignored her character. It was ruined right in the beginning after she acted as a petty, jealous kid towards him, after judging him because he wasn't an agent. She got jealous because her ancestor ghost talked to Malachi! And once or twice she had to remind people that Malachi isn't an agent.
One of the most annoying things about her was her stubbornness in refusing to consider that someone she knows might be a murderer. It doesn't matter if that is true or not. Somebody died and there was a connection to her restaurant. That is the main reason why I didn't like this book so much. Even with the same formula (dead bodies, helpful ghosts, two agents who are attracted to each other, etc.) it could have been a nice story.
After more than a third of the book, she improved a bit. She wasn't as annoying. She started acting normal.
All in all, the book was pretty boring. Either that or I wasn't in the mood for this, but I doubt that.

I have already read some books from Krewe of Hunters series and I generally like them. However this one wasn't as fascinating as some others.
Abby's grandfather dies unexpectedly and she thinks there is something strange about his death. She asks The Krewe of Hunters to investigate it. The Krewe sends Malachi whose aim is to help Abby, especially that her grandpa's death can be connected with the case of the serial killer who is kidnapping and killing young women in Savannah.
The author as always made a good research and I enjoyed the insight into the history of piracy in this area as well as the history of Savannah. I also liked the paranormal aspect of the story about the ghosts. Blue is a fascinating addition to the story.
Unfortunately I couldn't really get into this story. I'm not really sure what is the problem. I liked the characters, the plot was okay but I just didn't feel it.
Anyway, I will read other books in this series and from Heather Graham.

I confess that these books are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, and I tend to read them as soon as they come out.
I say guilty pleasure because, let's face it, it's not rocket science. And to be honest, the writing is simplistic and formulaic. You can tell before even opening the book that there will be a 'stunningly beautiful' woman with some kind of powers with the dead. Then there will be some kind of 'ruggedly handsome' man who's a bit ornery to start with but who is soon won over by the charms of our heroine. There will be the inevitable seduction scene, followed by several love scenes where they both marvel at their amazing connection - and each worry about whether their new love feels the same way.
Where Graham keeps me is the history she writes in all her books. Each one paints a vivid picture of her given location - the fact that they're places I want to visit - New Orleans, Savannah, etc, helps, but she does make us see where we are very well.
So the figures and romance are utterly predictable - and I confess I find myself skipping most of it now - I could recite it word for word in most cases, but there's still something that keeps me coming back for more.

For anyone that knows me they know I love Heather Graham's books and while this one is no exception it is also one of my favorites so far. I think all the Krewe books are great and interesting. But this one drew me in more than the others. I loved the backdrop and background she included and the setting was well detailed and described so it almost became its own character in the story. Along with pieces of the history that has taken place in Savannah you could really envision the locations where the story took place.
The mystery was intriguing and kept me guessing. I thought the main characters had a great history and development. And watching them learn to trust each other and learn to get along and work together provided a great piece to the story. The secondary characters as well were interesting and some played a key part in the story. Also it was nice to see some of the other Krewe members make an appearance.
As I said the mystery was well developed and played perfectly with the setting. We were kept guessing with the characters as to who did it all the way up to the end. And it was definitely a complete surprise.
The Krewe books are some of my favorites and I look forward to the next one. Anyone who hasn't read them yet should definitely start. And you can start anywhere with them, while characters might reoccur, the current story is completely contained in each individual book.

Wow, Wow, and Wow to another exciting book The Night is Alive ( book 10 of Krewe Of Hunters ) by: Heather Graham < this is a F.B.I.'s Paranormal Investigation Unit >. This book takes place in Savannah in the most haunted place in Savannah a Tavern that passes down from generation to generation and is in the care in hands of Gus Anderson and family and of the first proprietor and now Ghost Blue Anderson a gentleman and pirate. When Gus dies suddenly his granddaughter Abby come and finds him dead of a heart attack in one of the tunnels under the tavern. She calls for help solving his death and others that have stared piling up around the Dragonslayer. So a Elite Group of Investigators sends F.B.I. Consult in Malachi Gordon to see if the team has to go down there and help solve these murders. Leaving you with a cliff hanger ending here so you have to read the book too.

I was disappointed in this tale because although it was set in the perfect place for a ghost story (Savannah, Ga), and although the pirate premise was fresh and interesting, it seemed Ms. Graham had to write this book in a hurry and ran out of story before she'd reached her publisher's required word count. There were several places in the book where entirely too much time was spent on lengthy descriptions of scenes which did not really move the story forward: ex:, when Abby had to play the wench on the tourist pirate ship. Really dragged the story down. I still enjoyed it, but found myself wanting to fast forward through parts (I listened to it on Audible). The narrator, however, did an awesome job. I still like the premise of Krewe of Hunters and will be trying out another soon.

This book was really good, but the side romance with Malachi and Abby was super quick which I felt was unnecessary. Otherwise, this was a great book. I really enjoyed it, and I’m not a history buff. :)

"The Night Is Alive" by Heather Graham was an exciting read. The characters were engaging and easy to follow. I finished the book in just four days. It’s packed with suspense, romance, and the darker side of human nature. Fast-paced and entertaining, like a thrilling roller coaster ride.

I like Heather Graham. I enjoy her quirky female leads and how she smoothly integrates her paranormal characters in to her mysteries. But, I will not be reading any more of her Krewe of Hunters books. The Night is Alive is the second Krewe of Hunters novel reviewed on Sand Between the Pages. You can check out Phantom Evil here.
I grabbed the audio version of The Night is Alive, Krewe of Hunters #10, from the local library, drawn in by the promise of Savannah history and pirate ghosts. I never say no to pirate ghosts y'all! I just wish I actually liked The Night is Alive.
Let me start with the positive points. The Night is Alive delivered on Savannah history. The detailed passages of the city streets, the historic buildings, and underground tunnels had me ready to book a vacation. I had no problem feeling like I was exploring alongside Malachi and Abby. Graham also didn't disappoint when it came to pirate lore. My husband and I are both big fans of pirate history and Blue's scenes were definitely my favorite.
Now on to why I will not be reading any more Krewe of Hunters novels. I do not like the Krewe characters. They are undeveloped, leaving them to read very two dimensional and forced. I can't get invested in their stories. Abby is a new FBI agent driven to prove herself and we are constantly reminded of this fact by EVERYONE in the story. She never actually acted like a trained FBI agent until she faced off with the killer so we definitely needed all those reminders, but its get old fast. Her relationship with Malachi didn't feel remotely realistic. They went from hating each other, to hooking up, to maybe dating, and then to discussing marriage in the course of three weeks. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? This is the second time insta-love has been a major plot device in my Krewe of Hunters reading. No, just no. Don't worry, I didn't give away any spoilers. You know where Abby and Malachi's relationship is going the minute they meet. Here are some actual spoilers though, so avert your eyes if you must! I do not like what Graham did with her serial killer. She did everything she could to divert suspicion from this character so that the reveal would be all the more shocking. No, it wasn't shocking. It was irritating and I was rightly pissed when I realized whodunit. And then, THEN, she kills off the serial killer before explaining his motivations. I know this happens in real life, but it just felt lazy coupled with the complete lack of character development throughout the entire story. UHG!
Now don't let this review deter you from Graham's stand alone and Harrison Investigation novels. I enjoy many of them and they are pretty well developed! I just can't get behind her Krewe of Hunters series. Are you a Heather Graham fan? What do you think of her new series?

After entering my review (read below) I read the mostly positive goodreads reviews and now wonder if it wasn't the audio that make me dislike the book so much.
I enjoyed listening to one of her earlier books, The Uninvited, for its characters and especially how much history played a part. Both are lacking in this title, and it's surprising that this came from the same author. The cheezey pirate setup doesn't rate as "history". The juxtaposition of grizzly serial killer and torrid romance was awful. Nothing sets up a romantic evening like pulling a nearly dead person out of a river.
The characterization was very poor. Malachi keeps saying how vital and passionate Abbie is, but she displays no such qualities. Time and time again she behaves like a complete wimp - if she's an FBI agent we all have a lot to worry about. There's no rapport between them at all.
The writing has some really lame passages. "They walked a block down the tunnel. Then they walked another block down the tunnel." And what a copout at the end; the killer is conveniently killed off so there's no resolution to his deranged motive.
The audio is pretty terrible as well. The narrator makes Malachi sound like an aging stupid cowpoke. The other tough guy characters just keep grunting and aaarghing.

Stars: 3.5 / 5
Recommendation: Yes, pick it up for a mystery involving paranormal elements, historical flair and the romantic side of the plot.
The Night is Alive is the tenth book in the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham and published in August of 2013. This time around the plot revolves around Abigail "Abby" Anderson - fresh graduate out of FBI - and Malachi Gordon - independent Private Investigator and a new recruit into the Krewe of Hunters.
This forms the second book in the trilogy within the series. First one was The 2013 book The Night is Watching (My review of that book here: https://inspirethoughts.livejournal.c...) which concluded the plots surrounding the members of the second group of Krewe of Hunters called The Texas Krewe, led by Logan Raintree.
Krewe are a secret FBI unit with each member of the unit honing a particular psychic talent of their own, making them the paranormal investigating team. This unit was created to deal with murders having supernatural undertones and paranormal activities. Headed by paranormal investigator Adam Harrison, this elite unit is called on to solve cases linked to historical mystery involving legendary crime and serial killings, war events and hauntings. The Krewe are divided in three distinct groups. The first group is led by Jackson Crow and called as the original Krewe of Hunters, the second group is led by Texas Ranger Logan Raintree and called as the Texas Krewe and the third group is unit of its own. Although with this latest book it looks like Adam does give an offer to Malachi Gordon to create his own Krewe of Hunters.
Just on the heels of completion of a brutal case, Malachi Gordon is approached by Adam Harrison - the person responsible for the FBI special unit Krewe of Hunters, Jackson Crowe - head of the first group; the original Krewe of Hunters and Logan Raintree - leader of the second group Texas Krewe; to join their special unit where his special abilities can be further used. His first case given to him by the Krewe was to investigate the concerns of Abby Anderson about the abrupt death of her grandfather, Augustus "Gus" Anderson.
What he finds is himself being dragged into the mind of a serial killer who was killing women and who has a very twisted fantasy. And in that killer's twisted fantasy, Malachi is worried that Abby might become a target. How they both work to unravel the mind of this killer, identify him and save the latest woman kidnapped is what we see in the rest of the book. Of course it comes loaded with paranormal flair and historical stories surrounding the region of Savannah in Tennessee.
Heather Graham brings in other Krewe members under Jackson Crow's team who aid Malachi and Abby in the investigation making it clear to the readers that it is a team effort although two of them take the primary lead in any case.
As always Heather Graham gives us a bit of historical tour of the local places in Savannah along with the haunted stories that amused and charmed me as a reader. Of course some did make me shiver just reading the synopsis.
There may not be sparks flying around between Malachi and Abby at the onset of their meeting, in fact Abby rather was irritated by Malachi. However, slow and steadily both find likeness in each other and the under current attraction which they explore extensively thus adding the romantic element to the plot.
Another successful thriller in the series of books under Krewe of Hunters by Heather Graham that keeps you on the edge, giving you the chills where needed and with the right amount of romance dashed in there. Easily enjoyable book.
Spoiler Alerts:
1) Plot Reveals:
a. Malachi stays at the 17hundred90 inn while he was in Savannah solving the mystery behind Abby's grandfather's death. I was thinking Heather had made up the name of the restaurant. Instead the restaurant really exists and it is haunted indeed. More about the restaurant here: http://1790restaurant.com/.
b. Homicide Detective David Caswell was the former partner of Malachi Gordon when both were working in New Orleans. He had married a woman from Savannah and moved here now. Malachi works closely with David in this case.
c. Aptly to keep with the theme of haunting and ghosts, Heather Graham's character Abby Anderson has a love towards movies in the same genre. A few names in her collection are the 1947 American romantic film The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, the 1990 American romantic comedy film Ghost and the 1945 British fantasy-comedy film Blithe Spirit.
2) Sub Plots:
a. After finally meeting Adam Harrison in the eighth book The Uninvited (My review of that book here: https://inspirethoughts.livejournal.c...), I was keen to start the books in which he had originally been part of. And I have read the second book under Harrison Investigation Series - The Presence (Review of that book here: https://inspirethoughts.livejournal.c...). I am finding it hard to resist buying rest of the books in that series as well.
2) Again in this book that I have, came with two inserts about free books - you know where the books used to have a hard letter kind of page that you could tear it, fill in some information and mail it with free postage; You would get the free books as promised along with free gifts sometimes. Remember those card inserts? Well, I found them in this book. Why am I surprised because off-late such inserts are no longer seen. I remember seeing them in older books, more like pre-2005 era when internet, online shopping etc wasn’t that hep. But surprised to see it in a book published in 2013. Wonder if the author was trying to revive the good old paper-system of writing letters.
3) Grammatical / Historical / Location / Character Errors:
a. On Pg. 51, last para, Heather mentions Malachi's eyes as green. However in the rest of the book whenever she describes his eyes they are hazel - on Pg. 156, line 20 it is mentioned as Hazel Eyes; On Pg. 202, line 5 it is again mentioned as Hazel colored. A definite miss in the character depiction.
b. On Pg. 297, line 3, it should be "…it would help us…"
Recommendation: Yes, pick it up for a mystery involving paranormal elements, historical flair and the romantic side of the plot.

Of course it comes loaded with paranormal flair and historical stories surrounding the region of Savannah in Tennessee.
Heather Graham brings in other Krewe members under Jackson Crow's team who aid Malachi and Abby in the investigation making it clear to the readers that it is a team effort although two of them take the primary lead in any case.
As always Heather Graham gives us a bit of historical tour of the local places in Savannah along with the haunted stories that amused and charmed me as a reader. Of course some did make me shiver just reading the synopsis.
There may not be sparks flying around between Malachi and Abby at the onset of their meeting, in fact Abby rather was irritated by Malachi. However, slow and steadily both find likeness in each other and the under current attraction which they explore extensively thus adding the romantic element to the plot.
Another successful thriller in the series of books under Krewe of Hunters by Heather Graham that keeps you on the edge, giving you the chills where needed and with the right amount of romance dashed in there. Easily enjoyable book.
Spoiler Alerts:
1) Plot Reveals:
a. Malachi stays at the 17hundred90 inn while he was in Savannah solving the mystery behind Abby's grandfather's death. I was thinking Heather had made up the name of the restaurant. Instead the restaurant really exists and it is haunted indeed. More about the restaurant here: http://1790restaurant.com/.
b. Homicide Detective David Caswell was the former partner of Malachi Gordon when both were working in New Orleans. He had married a woman from Savannah and moved here now. Malachi works closely with David in this case.
c. Aptly to keep with the theme of haunting and ghosts, Heather Graham's character Abby Anderson has a love towards movies in the same genre. A few names in her collection are the 1947 American romantic film The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, the 1990 American romantic comedy film Ghost and the 1945 British fantasy-comedy film Blithe Spirit.
2) Sub Plots:
a. After finally meeting Adam Harrison in the eighth book The Uninvited (My review of that book here: https://inspirethoughts.livejournal.c...), I was keen to start the books in which he had originally been part of. And I have read the second book under Harrison Investigation Series - The Presence (Review of that book here: https://inspirethoughts.livejournal.c...). I am finding it hard to resist buying rest of the books in that series as well.
2) Again in this book that I have, came with two inserts about free books - you know where the books used to have a hard letter kind of page that you could tear it, fill in some information and mail it with free postage; You would get the free books as promised along with free gifts sometimes. Remember those card inserts? Well, I found them in this book. Why am I surprised because off-late such inserts are no longer seen. I remember seeing them in older books, more like pre-2005 era when internet, online shopping etc wasn’t that hep. But surprised to see it in a book published in 2013. Wonder if the author was trying to revive the good old paper-system of writing letters.
3) Grammatical / Historical / Location / Character Errors:
a. On Pg. 51, last para, Heather mentions Malachi's eyes as green. However in the rest of the book whenever she describes his eyes they are hazel - on Pg. 156, line 20 it is mentioned as Hazel Eyes; On Pg. 202, line 5 it is again mentioned as Hazel colored. A definite miss in the character depiction.
b. On Pg. 297, line 3, it should be "…it would help us…"

The story was good and kept me picking it back up, but the writing was a bit off to me. It was hard to figure out who the main character was. I mean it started with her and ended with her, but he did all the mystery solving. Then there were those scenes the editing was just out of whack.
For example, both partners are in the morgue talking to the mortician. She has to leave to take someone home and he is asking questions of the mortician. The four or five questions later he ask her something. Pulled me right out of the book thinking when did she get back. Then a few pages later it cuts to her taking the other guy home and that ends with explaining she took guy home then returned to the lab and they asked their questions. It was a weird structure that was repeated a couple times.
I liked that they saw ghosts and got help from ghosts. I mean that is so cool a FBI team that can talk to the dead. However, after finishing it feels a bit deus ex media, because the only thing the ghosts really do is give answers.

"without carrying the kind of abuse that might have made him an abuser himself" is possibly the worst line this author has written so far.
On one hand it's cool to see a protagonist contact the Krewe first, on the other the author made this particular Krewe member constantly her look foolish to compensate.
The "tap tap tap" thing was so obvious it was unbelievable that a detective wouldn't figure it out. Especially after learning that it was the sound that meant the killer was coming. At least you'd think he'd be smart enough to mention his new findings to Abby. The idea that a 70 year old guy with a peg leg would be able to sneak up on and overpower a young, healthy FBI agent is also absurd.

Heather Graham is a consistent, dependable author for gentle, formulaic [and I don't say that as a criticism] and entertaining ghostly mysteries. This was no exception.
The characters are basically nice, intelligent strong people who believe in what they are doing - including the bad guys - who are investigating murders that may or may not have a supernatural perpetrator.
Graham's mysteries are not Agatha Christie, but they are fun and well-written and engaging. I read her books when I want something light and fun and entertaining, and which I don't have to work too hard at reading. I enjoy her books.

In this installment of the Krewe of Hunters, the mystery is tangled up with the history of Savannah, Ga., and a band of pirates and background makes the story that much more enjoyable. The main characters are complicated and stubborn, and their mutual attraction is positively combustible. With the help of the senior members of the Krewe, they solve as intriguing mystery."

Abby and Malachi are a great couple! The who-dunnit was pretty easy to figure out, but what a great story getting to the reveal!
It's going to be interesting with a 3rd krewe stating up. I love that Jackson, Angela, Kat, and Will were in this book too. I just miss the "team" interaction when the whole krewe are involved.
Looking forward to the next book though.

I enjoy Heather Graham's books. I just didn't like this one as much. In the other books that I've read there was more of a connection between the main characters. I also had some issues with the ending.

This one gained an extra star just for making me doubt myself. The author managed to give enough reasonable suspects for me to go "WHO IS IT" which is a rare occurrence. I did guess right at one point, but had managed to talk myself out of it. Recommend.

Oh, so great to read this book! Loved the characters, the romance, the mystery, yet again! Great book, and I can't wait to read more of this series!

One of my favorite genres — and perhaps guilty pleasures — is trashy crime novels with a heavy dose of romance, cigarette smoke, cheap thrills, and sex. After reading Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which, by the way, wins every award for my guilty romance crime novel pleasure, I needed more. Unfortunately, I quickly found it’s not a genre that’s just... searchable.
So when I saw about 50 books by this Heather Graham author in our book sale (with very attractive spines, might I add) I was intrigued.
And then delighted when I saw words like murder, FBI, passion, romance, suspense, detectives.
My first impulse was to buy all of them, but I calmed myself down and settled for four. I’m so glad I did; it seems like the only good decision I made in this mad passion of discovery.
I’m so sad to say I was extremely let down - and even more sad to say that it mostly came down to Graham’s writing.
I am a writer myself, so I appreciate and know how hard the craft is. I’m not published, but I know it would be devastating to have any other criticism than the very kind advice my family and friends give me, but it just didn’t work for me.
I’ve always been an Avon girl, I’ve yet to find a Harlequin romance that wasn’t written like this one - distant, dry, absolutely dragging, and dull. I want to be in on the action, up close. I don’t want to feel miles away or have to skip over unimportant info dumps. And while I wish I could say that these books maybe could have changed my mind about Harlequin, it was the same experience all over again.
I’m not going to go into too many details about the book but it has to be said that nearly all of my problems came down to the above — writing and Harlequin in general.
As for plot, it was okay — I’m NOT a paranormal fan, and didn’t know that most of her books deal with ghosts and other ghoulies (is that even a word? It is now.) Sure, I don’t mind ghosts as a... presence? But as almost “guardian angel” type figures or a “normal thing” I can’t really get behind.
Once again, my low rating comes down mostly just to personal preference. Sure, there are people who would probably love these books — who do love these books. She’s not a bestseller for no reason, she’s just not for me.

The night is forever
By
Heather Graham
Pages: 378
Chapter:14
Keywords: Crime, FBI, Romance, Paranormal, Ghosts, Some sexual content
In Short: A slow start with characters that are a little bland at first but they flesh out towards the middle of the book and the complex case keeps you turning to the last page and hoping to visit the Dragonslayer Inn again.
Paw prints. 3
The Night Is Forever by Heather Graham is her 10th book into the world of the FBI group the Krewe of Hunters.
This 10th instalment begins with a new agent called Malachi, who is given a trail run with the Krewe of Hunters by investigating if a simple heart attack of a tavern owner was purely natural or was murder like his granddaughter, Abigail claims.
Malachi became a private detective after experiencing his ability to talk to the departed, he feels this is his only choice, afraid of what others think of him and his special skill.
This is where the leader of the Krewe of Hunters Adam Harrison offers a job where not only his skill as a police officer would be of use but his ability with the dead. This is if the main women involved Abigail would trust him.
At the beginning as we are introduced to Malachi and Abigail and we follow them on what appears to be a simple case that slowly gets more complex every second that passes, I found both their characters to lack a bit of realness and unfortunately for me most of the beginning I was dying for something to actual happen and because of my lack of connections to the characters I found it very hard to keep turning the pages.
Although I struggled at the start I’m glad I stuck with it as I honestly fell in love with not only the Dragonslayer Inn but also with Malachi and Abigail.
Once more details of the case came to light I found the plot to be exciting, complex and believable, I also love like all her books Heather Graham didn’t spare on the history side of the story and I actually left knowing more about Savannah, the 1750s and the history of their high seas and its pirates.
I particularly liked the characters blue and the elderly couple in the cemetery which added a softer tone to the overall creepy and gruesome plotline.
On the side of the crime that is committed in this book I found it to be very complex and I didn’t guess the killer until it was revealed to the reader at the end.
If you keep reading despite the slow burning beginning you will be rewarded with a mystery that leaves you wanting more and characters and places you hope to visit again very soon.

Heather Graham is a talented writer. Not a single one of her books disappoints. This particular novel, excels with her usual writing style: humor, suspense, and romance. The plot is thick with twists. So many suspects sometimes with several motives or no clear motive until the ending. It's always the one that's close to the victim(s) that is the highest suspect. Yet narrowing them down into one or two is difficult. Heather Graham keeps me on the edge, guessing which one it will be. I along with Abby and Malachi never knew who and why until Heather Graham wanted us to know. I love that the most about her books!
For a suspense thriller, The Night is Alive, is phenomenal! Abby is a newly recruited and graduate of the FBI academy. Her grandparents own an old historic tavern with hidden tunnels. It turns out that her grandfather, Gus, stumbles upon a clue. He asks for her to come home to tell her. However, when she arrives, she finds her great-great-great uncle, Blue, leading her to her Gus. Gus dies for finding a clue and contacting Abby. Abby then takes time off to handle his affairs but is soon led into a murder investigation. Talk about having her first assignment...wow. That is also where, FBI agent recruit, Malachi comes onto the scene. He is sent down to investigate. Using his ability to see and hear ghost plus, his law enforcement background, he and Abby work together.
These characters are amazing! Abby wants to prove herself as a great FBI Agent. She feels she is but at times fails like she fails at it with Malachi around her. Malachi is just as strong as character as Abby. He trust his instinct and teaches Abby to trust hers. Together these two made the story come alive. Plus, the ghost, Blue, also made it heartfelt read.

Another great read. I am still trying figure where heard name Malachi before though if was on TV show or something.
Abby gets cryptic call from her grandpa asking her come home. Since she's just finished her FBI training and waiting on placement she heads back to Savannah, Georgia but sadly he has died. She's sure he was murdered but local cops think since was heart attack it was his age. She refuses believe that and emails Jackson Crow who sends Malachi.
At start book Jackson, Adam, and Logan and just gotten hold of Malachi offering him to join the Krewe Of Hunters. He is on a trial bases consulting. He use be cop in New Orleans until his wife passed then left to Virginia again. Now he's a PI at start this helping solve missing persons.
Abby wasn't expecting to be semt Malachi but he helps her that's for sure. It's other people been turning up dead and going missing. Even one that's local instead of a tourist. They find things in her grandpa's room and office proving he was onto something.
There are underground tunnels that were used in pirate days and for the underground railroad. The culprit is using those tunnels to get around and dressing as pirates one being Abby's ancestor who was not what the person here is making him out to be.
Really liked the ghosts helping. From Blue who's Abby's multiple great uncle to the couple who they help make right their son's gravestone. Loved the romance and was happy see Jackson, Angela, Will and Kat too. I did guess the culprit but was wrong on one thing.

‘Adam Harrison put together a group of people with special skills … These are their stories.’
The Night is Alive is the tenth book in the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham...
Okay, so if you’re into crime-solving with a supernatural twist, then Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters series is like comfort food for your spooky-loving soul. Imagine a team of FBI agents who can see and communicate with ghosts - but instead of it being all doom and gloom, it’s got this cozy, slightly romantic vibe mixed in with the mystery.
Each book focuses on a different agent, so you get fresh characters and settings every time, but there’s still that familiar “Krewe family” feel. The cases range from creepy old mansions to haunted battlefields, and Ms. Graham is really good at weaving in bits of history without making it feel too ‘heavy’.
Are the plots sometimes a little predictable? Sure. But honestly, that’s part of the charm - you’re there for the atmosphere, the ghostly encounters, and the slow-burn romances as much as the whodunit. It’s the kind of series you can dip in and out of without feeling lost, although saying that, reading the books in consecutive order gives you a bigger picture as well as providing a nice sense of connection between the characters.
If you like your mysteries with a dash of paranormal, a sprinkle of romance, and a cast of likable, slightly quirky investigators - then the Krewe of Hunters is a fun, binge-worthy ride. Perfect for late-night reading with a cup of tea.
Happy Reading… 👻
