I was excited to receive approval for an advanced copy of The Witching Hours. I thought it would be a great read to add to my "spooky season" reading. Also, I grew up near Salem, Massachusetts and know the area and history of this town well. I like the premise of the story and the attempt to interweave the infamous history of the Salem witches into the mystery of the murder and kidnappings Skye and Zach are assigned to investigate. However, I found the writing to be very surface level and the dialogue between characters unnatural. Often times, the author detailed events and conversations that seemed unnecessary (for example, the breakfasts shared by Zach and Skye), over the development of the investigation into the crimes. I also found the relationship between Zach and Skye to be forced and unbelievable due to a lack of chemistry. The references to Salem's historical past, while interesting, were not well connected to the plot, also feeling forced and just added to the story because it seemed an obvious choice based on the setting. Unfortunately, I found this to be a disappointing read that I will not be recommending.

If you enjoy paranormal romantic suspense novels, history, and witches, then look no further than the thirty-ninth book in the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham which is set in and around Salem, Massachusetts. Skye McMahon sees things that have happened in the past as if she was seeing a video. That’s why she’s been summoned from the FBI’s New York field office by the FBI’s Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe. She is to be teamed up with Zachary (Zach) Erickson, who can touch objects and see where the last person who touched it is and what they are doing.

Alicia Bolton discovered her grandfather-in-law murdered and her nanny and son missing. Her daughter was left crying in the playpen. But this is just the beginning of the disappearances. As Skye and Zach use their paranormal abilities and combine that with solid police investigation, someone dressed as a witch and wearing green makeup continues to show up. Additionally, they grow closer as they get to know each other.

Skye is bright, organized, and reassuring to others. Zach has a sense of humor, great sense of justice, and is empathetic. Both read biographies and histories and both enjoy humor. Their skills and personalities seem to work well together.

The author does a great job of building tension and worldbuilding as well as helping readers get to know Skye and Zach. There’s also a lot of history included about the area. This helps with the background, but does tend to slow the pacing a bit at times. However, in this book, I didn’t mind it. It added depth and helped to immerse this reader in the atmosphere the author created. It was a unique and interesting read that captured and held my imagination. The romance part of the book is minor, but rather too fast. That could have been spread over multiple future books. However, the main characters’ discussions helped readers get familiar with these two characters quickly. Themes include trust, murder, abductions, power, and much more.

Overall, this novel is engaging, enjoyable, and suspenseful. While this is the first book that I have read in the series, it worked for me as a standalone. I can’t wait to read more novels in the series and highly recommend the series is you enjoy the genre.

Kensington Publishing – Kensington and Heather Graham provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. The publication date is currently set for January 27, 2026.

[Hope Stewart · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’d give The Witching Hours by Heather Graham four out of five stars. The book blends paranormal suspense, mystery, and a touch of romance in a way that pulled me in right from the start. The eerie Salem setting, the echoes of witch trial history, and the disturbing case at the center of the story created an atmosphere that felt both ominous and compelling. I was immediately invested in the murder investigation, the missing nanny, the kidnapped child, and the frightened infant who seems connected to something darker. The way the past seeps into the present through Skye’s visions gave the story a haunting depth that I really enjoyed.

Skye McMahon and Zachary Erickson are memorable characters, and I liked following both of them. Skye’s ability to see visions and Zachary’s complementary psychic talent make them an intriguing pair as they work together to uncover a conspiracy tied to Salem’s violent past. Their connection adds emotional weight to the story, and I appreciated how their growing trust helped anchor the darker, supernatural elements.

That said, I did find some of the relationships in the book a bit awkward. While the romantic tension between Skye and Zachary had promise, it sometimes moved too quickly or wrapped up moments of emotional conflict a little too neatly. There were times when I wanted the characters to have more room to develop naturally instead of being nudged toward closeness in ways that felt slightly forced. For me, this occasionally softened the overall intensity of the story.

The pacing also felt uneven in places. The atmosphere and suspense were wonderfully crafted, but certain sections lingered longer than they needed to, and I occasionally felt the mystery stretching itself thin before offering answers. Even so, I remained invested throughout the book. I genuinely cared about the investigation, the missing child, and the fate of the characters caught in the web of danger.

Overall, The Witching Hours delivered a rich mix of supernatural tension and emotional stakes. Despite a few awkward character dynamics and some pacing issues, I really enjoyed the blending of history, psychic intrigue, and suspense. It is a satisfying paranormal thriller and a solid four star read for me.

The Witching Hours is the newest installment in Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters series. Usually this is a series I enjoy very much but this book was a little disappointing for me.

I thought the setting in Salem, Massachusetts was a promising start. In the book a young babysitter and the 5 year old child she is watching disappear. A baby has been left alone in a playpen and the children’s grandfather, who lived in a garage apartment on the property, has been murdered. As per usual when the Krewe are called in, Supervisory Agent Jackson Crowe brings in investigators with special skills to meet the unique requirements of each case. For this investigation, Skye Malone, who sees things that have occurred, is being partnered with Zachary Erickson, who has the gift of psychic touch. When Skye enters the house, she sees a someone dressed as a terrifying witch commit both the murder and kidnapping.

As the investigation gets underway, it is discovered that the victims in this case are not the only young people who have gone missing. And, in an odd twist, the two local detectives who are heading up the investigation also go missing. Through Zack’s special skills he and Skye discover that someone hiding behind a witches’ costume is actually trying to indoctrinate his victims into a cult.

I felt the pace of the investigation and the development of the relationship were too rushed. When working 18+ hours a day on a case, in a rush to find kidnapping victims, it feels like too much of a stretch that two stressed and exhausted investigators would go from total strangers to bedmates in a such a short time. Also, the perpetrator’s motivation for causing so much fear and devastation was kind of a head scratcher.

All and all, a fast-paced book with Ms. Graham’s typically likable characters. It is just not my favorite in the series.

In Graham’s latest Krewe of Hunter series a new pair of Special Advisory paranormal investigators are assigned to assist the Salem Massachusetts police to solve the murder of a grandfather and the disappearance of his grandchild and the child’s nanny. Graham’s investigators Skye McMahon and Zachary Erickson have unique psychic skills that has Jackson Crowe selecting them to work together to resolve the case. Sky has the ability to witness past events almost like a movie while Zach has psychic touch and can sense location and emotions of an object’s owner. Soon the case becomes more than a missing child and nanny as more individuals and children are disappearing with no apparent connection to each other. The only common element is a costumed green faced witch in the area at the time of the disappearance but not something unusual in the town of Salem. Graham includes Salem history adding to an interesting element to the story. Together Skye and Zach pull the strings to an unfolding story with all the elements of mystery, paranormal, police investigation and romantic suspense.

What’s always a highlight of Graham’s Krewe series is her skill of creating a team of investigators with different paranormal skills just right for resolving the mystery before them. The skills themselves are fascinating! Her characters, like Skye and Zach, learn from each other, connect, and develop trust that will in the end make a great team that will strengthen Crowe’s special advisory team and with a romantic element a perfect team to love and protect each other. Each book in the series can stand alone, but just one novel in the series will never be enough, this latest addition to the Krewe of Hunters series will be an enjoyable paranormal read for anyone who loves all that the book has to offer its readers. Thank you Kensington and NetGalley for the ARC!

This is a start of another spin-off from the Krewe of Hunters. We have Jackson Crow and his wife Angela taking Skye to meet her new partner, Zack. They will be on a kidnapping case where a babysitter and child were taken from a home. Skye and Zack have special abilities that make them ideal for this case but also to join the new unit of Krewe of Hunters. Skye and go someplace and see what happened right before, such as knowing that a person dressed up as the wicked witch of the west took the babysitter and child. Zack can touch an object, and it will allow him to see where they might be or if something happened to them. Zack was able to tell that they were both alive but someplace that was dark and scary. As they continue this case another kidnapping happens and both Skye and Zack feel that these scary witches are connected to the police department somehow. Join Skye and Zak to see if they can find the missing children, solve a murder and explore the feelings that they have for each other. I do like that Graham is going back to US with this special team because I really enjoy her original Krewe of Hunters, I haven’t been too keen on the Blackbird unit. You don’t need to read the Krewe of Hunters series to jump right into this book. Graham does a great job of making it standalone. If you like the paranormal with a twist of suspense and a dash of mystery this is the book for you. Thank you, Edelweiss and Kensington, for the ARC in Exchange for an honest review. I actually rated this book a 3.5 but moved it up to a 4 because I like that this new series follows the Krewe of Hunters.

[Auriette · Rating 3 out of 5]

The premise of "The Witching Hours" is intriguing. Just ahead of Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts, a man is found murdered, while his great-grandson and the nanny have vanished. Federal investigators Zach Erickson and Skye McMahon are brought in to assist local police. They're new recruits to author Heather Graham's "Krewe of Hunters," an FBI team with paranormal abilities. The case soon escalates, and Zach and Skye find themselves in a countdown to save the missing people and uncover a possible law enforcement connection to the crimes.

I haven't read anything by Heather Graham in years, and this is the first of her mysteries that I tried. The plot and setting were interesting, as were the characters. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the style of writing. I found it very repetitive. We're presented with the same information over and over, even within the same chapter.

The dialogue would possibly be good for a screenplay, but I found it frustrating to read. It's often made up of incomplete sentences, and it's also frequently repetitive.

I don't know if this is the way Graham always writes. If it is, regular readers will probably enjoy this book as much as they liked the others. I won't be picking up any more books in this series.

I've given it three stars because it's a good story with fascinating characters, despite what I see as shortcomings.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Special Agents Skye McMahon and Zach Erickson meet in Salem, Massachusetts when they are assigned to work a case involving a murder and two kidnappings. Skye and Zach are part of the Krewe, an elite group of federal agents whose training is enhanced by psychic abilities. The Witching Hours sounded like exactly the kind of book I'd enjoy - if only it weren't so badly written!

While the plot held my interest until the massive letdown of the ending, the characters are like cardboard cutouts. If not for their different names, I would have had trouble telling them apart. These people don't talk like actual human beings. They give speeches, spout cliches, and repeat the obvious in a mind-numbing series of tedious details that focus more on the insignificant aspects of daily life and less on anything of importance.
I didn't really care about any of the characters and I had zero belief in the so-called passion of the romance cooked up for Skye and Zach.

I gave this book two stars because I did manage to get through it, but then I felt robbed of the hours I wasted getting to the "so what?" conclusion. Apparently this is part of a lengthy series which I will never bother to read. This is the first of Heather Graham's books I have read and it will be the last.

I would like to acknowledge that I received a free advance reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to Goodreads, the author and publisher for an ARC copy of this book.

The book is based on a intriguing premise that had me hooked from the start. Two investigators with psychic abilities working together for the first time, investigating a mysterious kidnapping of children and caregivers. Their discovery that the kidnappers were dressed in costume-store style witch costumes with green make up only made the case more eerie.

I enjoyed that the story took place in Salem, MA, revealing history of the area as well as tourist sites of interest. There was also the romance and instant connection between the two lead characters that made their relationship meaningful; more caring and appreciation for each other than flying sparks.

Overall their work ethic and commitment to the case and to each other showed their maturity. I didn’t get the sense of urgency to solve the case but they explained the need for personal time to rest and recharge at the end of the day, and ultimately this approach led to good success.

Overall I liked the lead characters and how they maintained their sensibility despite the insanity around them. I would be interested to see how they approach other interesting cases where having psychic abilities helps them locate the culprits. In another spooky, historic location of course!

[Paige · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was disappointing because I normally like reading Heather Graham books. However, there were many drawbacks of this book.

The amount of exclamation points in this book is astronomical. They were place in every sentence when it was not needed.

Also, the way the characters were talking was clunky and odd. No one talks like that in real life. For example, “the poet, essayist, novelist and philosopher George Satayana said it best …” I’ve never heard anyone other than a professor teaching a class talk like that. This is just one example of plenty where the characters were talking like they weren’t real people but robots. This type of writing caused me to not take the storytelling seriously. The dialogue between characters is unreal. I’ve never in my life heard people talk this way. The editor of this book needs to do another read through. It seems like AI wrote this book. The two main characters have zero chemistry.

I would not recommend this book to anyone unless there are major changes done with the dialogue. This was painful trying to finish reading the book.

I received this as ARC from Netgalley and Kensington Publishing.

I find that I sometimes enjoy going into a book blindly.

   This was the case with this ARC of Heather Graham's "The Witching Hours." I  thought I might be getting into something supernatural; however, what I got was a well-paced mystery that had an X-Files feel.

  The main protagonist is Skye McMahon, a young woman with the special gift of being able to see things that have happened in certain areas in the past. Imagine being in Salem, Massachusetts, with this gift.  She joins a team of investigators with gifts of their own who are trying to solve a series of kidnappings and a murder.

There were a few things I am still unsure what to think about.  The book leans almost too heavily into these gifts to help solve the mystery, but it is understandable as it appears to be the first book in a series.   I also felt the ending veered away from the typical slow reveal of the storybook villain, making it feel somewhat rushed. However, as I said, I am unsure how I feel about these things, but  I didn't hate them.

For my first book from the author, I can say I will check out more of her works.  I give this book a solid 4.

Thank you #Netgalley, #HeatherGraham, #Kensingtonbooks

2.5 🌟

This read like any other police procedural from an author who has written many of them. It is fairly formulaic but I do appreciate the paranormal aspect to this story, it didn’t take too much away from the believability of the work.

I also do feel like the twist wasn’t really twisting for me. I had a hunch right away about who “master” was.

The coolest thing about this book was the setting and I could see me enjoying it more during prime spooky season, but as that just passed, I didn’t get that added umph. Set in Salem, Mass, the story does a great job of bringing in some of the sites and giving us a brief history that includes more than just the witch trials (though usually the other noted events are told in annoyance with the witch trials getting all the clout of the area). The setting was definitely the reason I picked this up and was also the reason I was able to finish.

Thank you Kensington Publishing, Heather Graham and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

[Penny · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’ve literally been reading this author for years, and I really can’t resist requesting her books when I can. I eagerly started this one, and I was not really overwhelmed while reading it. This book is well-written, don’t get me wrong, and I did enjoy reading it. Tt wasn’t terrible, however, there seems to be too many leaps in logic the reader must make to see how the characters came to their conclusions, and sometimes I felt there was too much filler. I think I’m a little harsher with traditionally published books because they have more “power” behind them, and they can be polished so much easier than independently published books. Maybe that’s the reason I am a little disappointed in this book. It definitely isn’t terrible and is enjoyable. It’s OK. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

[BHK · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had me flipping pages late into the night! It’s spooky, twisty, and oddly romantic. The author nails the Salem setting! You can almost feel the chill of the fog and hear echoes of the old witch trials while following Skye and Zachary through the mystery. Skye’s visions were super fun. I loved the creepy image of a classic storybook witch stalking families, and how the paranormal blended with the crime thriller vibe. The missing kids storyline kept my heart racing, but the eerie, supernatural elements made it feel fresh instead of just another whodunit. And the growing spark between Skye and Zachary added a little lightness in all the darkness. The Witching Hours is the perfect spooky fall read!

[Farrah Williams · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book interested me because I like books that have police procedure in them, and the use of people with unique talents piqued my interest. I also love a good mystery so I thought that this may be the perfect book for me. The story line itself was good, but I had a really hard time with the dialogue in this book, and it made reading it difficult at times. I also think that certain types of punctuation (exclamation points and the three dots) were severely overused not making it easy to read as well. This may be a great book for some readers who also love police procedurals, mysteries, and a little paranormal, but I did not enjoy reading it overall.


I would like to thank Net Galley and Kinsington Publishing for the chance to read this book for my honest review.

[Katie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the Salem, Massachusetts environment of this book. As someone who’s been to Salem many times I was able to envision everything. My issue with the book was it read a bit young adult to me. The characters were adults, but their dialogue just sounded juvenile and not professional. I also didn’t like the set up of the kidnapping, a person dressed as a witch with green face paint comes in and kidnaps people. It just was a bit silly and took me out of the story. I have liked Heather Graham’s books in the past and own quite a few, but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I will continue reading her books, but maybe not this Krewe series.

Thank you Kensington Publishing for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Murder , mayhem and witches!!

We are back in Salem, Massachusetts where witches are everywhere.

No, no, no . . . this can’t be happening. People are just afraid of the dark, falling for the ridiculous pranks of spoiled children! Good riddance!

The “Krewe of Hunters” are back with a new spin off series. New agents and even more crazy going on.

Skye McMahon has a unique gift. This is her first case and it’s as intriguing as it is scary. Zach has his own gift and together they make a great team.

‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’

Another fantastic edition. Just can’t get enough.

[Kathy Jo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have enjoyed several of Heather Graham’s book, including the Krewe of Hunters universe. So I was excited to get an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for,u honest review. However, this on fell flat for me. Maybe it was the hunt for the Wicked Witch, green paint, pointy hat, and all. Or maybe it was the over the top references to Salem and its history. Or the excessive quotes. Or maybe the main characters fell flat. But I just didn’t care. Didn’t care about the relationship between the two main characters, or the crime, or the perpetrator. I just didn’t care. It it was a relatively quick read and hopefully this series picks up!

[Jamye Wilson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although Heather Graham is a well-known author, this was my first time reading her work. I was drawn in by the premise—a mysterious figure dressed as a witch is kidnapping vulnerable people and children, while a special team of federal agents with paranormal abilities races to uncover the truth. The Salem, Massachusetts setting adds an atmospheric touch that perfectly suits the story’s eerie tone.

I did find some of the dialogue and banter between the two main characters a bit forced at times, lacking a natural rhythm. Still, as the first book in what appears to be a new series featuring this team of agents, I’m curious to see how the characters and their relationships evolve in future installments.

[Debbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Witching Hours by Heather Graham tells the story of Skye McMane and Zach Erickson new recruits to a paranormal section of the FBI. A man is murdered, a child and sitter kidnapped in Salem MA. Skye and Zach are sent to investigate.

This story has a little bit of everything in it. Of course romance between Skye and Zach. A bit of a knight in shining armor since he keeps coming to her rescue. Their dialogue is kinda cute but a bit basic. The Salem Witch history is interesting to read especially since visiting there recently. I did keep reading but the ending seemed a bit predictable.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for this ARC.

[Nikki · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a maybe? Started out slow and clunky. Every other sentence had an exclamation point. The dialogue between characters was rather odd and unnatural. About 60% through the story really picked up and got interesting, and the dialogue was better. Overall the language is just a bit strange and not at all what you would expect from characters in law enforcement. If felt like the author was trying to be whimsical or artsy instead. There is also a HUGE amount of history through out the entire book - some of it makes sense to connect the story but most of it is just distracting and unnecessary. The plot itself was good and there is certainly potential, but needs a lot of refinement.

[Olivia Fast Cano · Rating 2 out of 5]

I won an advance copy in a Goodreads giveaway and was excited to get started based on the description. The overall storyline seemed promising and exciting. However, the writing felt off to me. The dialogue was awkward, disjointed, and at times I wondered if characters were speaking “inside jokes” to one another. It felt like I was missing something quite often with the dialogue.
I also struggle with authors who don’t “show” but “tell” you what’s going on. It was hard to become immersed in the book. Characters also felt pretty shallow and there was a connection that felt forced, out of place, and ultimately just took away from the actual story.

[H. Woodward · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5. I enjoy Heather Graham’s books, especially Jackson’s Crows. I was really excited to see this takes place in Salem, MA. The Trails are something I’ve studied in depth over the years, but this whole Wicked Witches abducting people and the stuff in the woods, it just felt flimsy and not very fun, or compelling. Also, the return of Gavin. I like Skye and Zach both, and the parts when they use their gifts are great. Their love story is kind of sweet. There’s just something about the writing in this one that’s off? Not her best.

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was really looking forward to this book, unfortunately it fell flat. I just couldn't connect to this or the characters. While I felt the plot was genuinely interesting, the characters felt clunky and awkward. I couldn't believe their dynamic or relationship and that just made my mind wander far too often. I can see others loving this story, but I just didn't care enough about the main characters to feel too invested in the book.

I know this is a spin off of another series by this author. I have not read that other series and am not familiar with it, so this was new to me. I enjoyed this book very much. It was a bit slow at the beginning for me but once I hit the halfway point it was on and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the characters, their relationship with each other, and their abilities. I found the author did a good job and was descriptive enough for me to picture myself on scene. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book! Heather Graham delivers an atmospheric, twisty, paranormal mystery that fans of Riley Sager and Simone St. James are going to devour. With eerie Salem vibes, a fast-moving plot, and a duo with undeniable chemistry, this story had me completely hooked. Skye’s psychic visions, the layered suspense, and the perfect mix of ghostly chills and real-world danger make this an unputdownable read. Perfect for anyone who loves a supernatural thriller with heart and haunting history.

History seems to claw its way back to curse you—or does it? Zach and Skye take you on a journey of piecing together a twisted, confusing puzzle. At times, it’s hard to connect the who and the why, but the sweet dynamic between them brings warmth and charm that keeps you smiling. As the truth unfolds, you witness human greed and evil intertwine in unsettling ways, making their bond all the more meaningful amid the mystery.
