The Crows #1
The Witching Hours
A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, MA sends two people with unique talents hunting for answers from both the past and present in internationally bestselling author Heather Graham’s electrifying new Krewe of Hunters spin off for fans of Stephen King, Jayne Ann Krentz, Riley Sager, and Simone St. James.
Skye McMahon sees things. Good and bad, the past unreels in her mind’s eye like a movie. Such is Skye’s uncanny life. That’s why she’s been summoned by Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe, to help solve a mystifying murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of historic Salem.
Alicia Bolton discovered her grandfather-in-law murdered, her nanny and her young son have both vanished without a trace, and her infant daughter was found terrified and crying in her playpen. Skye, partnered with the intriguing Zachary Erickson, a charmer with a psychic touch, is at first beset only by visions of Salem’s witch trials and the tragic, paranoia-fueled executions. Then she sets foot in the Boltons’ house.
What Skye sees is not another innocent from the 17th century swinging from a noose. What she sees is a bona fide crone, pointed hat and all, preying on the family like something from a children’s nightmarish fairy tale. And when another local woman and her daughter inexplicably vanish, Skye has a second vision—that same wicked witch creeping up on her new victims on a lonely Salem road. It’s impossible to believe. Yet Skye’s visions never lie.
As Skye and Zachary put their otherworldly abilities to use, and grow closer with each revelation, they’re lured into an ominous mystery enveloping Salem like a fog. Navigating suspects, whispers of a cult, and a sinister history that threatens to reignite in the present, with Zachary’s help, only Skye can see the way to find the missing—but first, she may have to dance with the devil himself.

Pretty average book, I know its classed as mystery/thriller/paranormal but I think I secretly wanted more scary bits with a title like that.
October 2, 2025
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.

The premise of two psychic investigators trying to solve kidnappings and a murder in Salem, MA was a great hook for picking up the book. However, the story didn’t hold up to any expectation. The writing style was weird and felt misplaced. There was no chemistry between characters, especially between Zach and Skye, who were the romantic leads. The best character of the book, Salem, MA, which is why this is a two star read for me instead of a one.
My review is voluntary and all comments and opinions are my own.

Thank you to Hambright PR for this gifted book!
When I read the description of this book I thought it sounded so interesting, psychics in Salem, MA just sounded so good and I was excited about it. The plot itself could have been amazing, it really does have so much potential to be an amazing story if written well.
While I appreciate the opportunity to have received an electronic copy of this through Hambright PR, this book has a lot of problems. The biggest being, and I don't say this lightly, that this reads like it was pulled from an AI prompt. I know that isn't what any author wants to hear, and I truly hope I'm wrong, but I have never read anything so oddly written. I am truly surprised this made it past an editor.
The amount of punctuation used in this is so over the top. Exclamation points at the end of every other sentence, ellipses at every turn, Em dashes in places that don't make sense, and sentences that just seem to fall off. The exclamation points were honestly the biggest sticking point for me, they are used at just basic conversational endings. Not for anything urgent or exciting, just used in places where a period should have been used. I almost DNF'd because of the punctuation and structure alone, but this book was so short that I pushed through.
The dialogue was also a problem for me, it didn't sound natural or like anything people would actually say conversationally, and I think that really chalks up to the structure/punctuation usage. The characters were incredibly flat resulting from that.
I am normally a very generous reviewer, it takes a lot for me to give a negative review, and it doesn't bring me joy to do so. This isn't written in attack of the author, just my honest opinion about the writing and structure. This is not a book that I will be recommending. Such a bummer!

I wish I could give this book a rating less than 1 star. It was awful. I have enjoyed Heather Graham for years. The books that she has written in the last 2 or 3 years have not been worth my time, nor money. I have skipped some of the books. I thought that since this one was part of a new series, maybe it would be different. No such luck.
The language seemed to be stilted. The dialogue between characters did not flow. I don't know anyone that actually talks like these characters talk. The use of the exclamation point was ridiculous. There were 4 of them in just 1 paragraph. There were several on each page. If there were 4 on each page, that would be close to 1200 in the whole book. No one talks in exclamation points. It is like the characters were screaming at each other. The author obviously does not feel that way. Example: ""Connie, have faith in the man you work with!" "Skye told her quietly." I don't consider the use of an exclamation point as speaking quietly.
In one instance, Zach is called Skye's 'boy toy.' Does the author know what a boy toy is? Zach is definitely not one.
Several readers said this book read like it was written by AI. I would not know. But I will say it does read rather strangely. Most of the author's recent books read like this one.
I am through with reading any current books by this author. I will stick with her very old ones.

August 12, 2026This is a first for me. I have never quit reading a book because of excessive use of exclamation marks but after thirty in less than ten pages of reading, I was finished.
August 3, 2026
Did an editor even see this book? If so, either they need to be fired, or the author did not implement any of their good suggestions and edits.
This felt very unfinished, and like it was in draft form. Sentences that do not make sense.
There are some sections that I can tell were pulled straight from the research that feels that if this were a research paper that it would be plagiarized.
The style of writing within a single paragraph does not even sound like it was written by the same person.
The premise is great, but the flow is not. The characters lack depth and individual voice.
I cannot recommend this book in its current state.

This book was a solid ok! I was entertained enough to want to see it through. And my favorite aspect is that it ultimately went in a direction that I truly was not expected, and I like that. That being said, I didn’t love the characters and it just felt very average throughout. But average is not bad! And I love the setting of Salem and the history of it woven throughout. It was ok for me, hence the quick review.
Thank you Hambright PR for the free copy! I usually do not share reviews on bookstagram less than 4 stars, so I will not be posting there.

March 18, 2026ARC - I swear I tried to read the whole book, but I got to 35% and couldn't go any further... I delayed writing the review because I was avoiding giving DNF. The only thing that interested me was the mention of historical issues related to crimes. I didn't find the characters interesting and the story's development wasn't captivating me either... unfortunately, I didn't finish the book.

Net Galley eARC.I have been an avid follower of Graham's Krew of Hunters series of paranormal thrillers featuring a team of FBI agents with various special abilities since its inception. In this outing Skye and Zach are in Salem investigating a series of kidnappings and murders. The primary targets appear to be children and they are puzzled by the motive for this. When witnesses report seeing suspects with green skin wearing traditional witches costumes they suspect a reprogramming cult. I enjoyed the bread crumbs relating to Salem's disturbing history of witchcraft although it had little bearing on the plot. Of all the books in this series I feel this may have been the weakest with the relationship between the two main characters seeming forced and unnatural. Despite my quibbles an average Graham paranormal thriller is still an enjoyable read.

Such a good read! Suspense, mystery, paranormal & witches all in one book. I absolutely loved the characters and hope there are more books to come with them in it! This was such a fun read!
Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publication for letting me read this arc.

Young women and children are being abducted by a person dressed as a green witch; a crone. Along with drug addicts and a few homeless; the 'vulnerable' in society. They are being brainwashed back to the way society thought during the Salem Witch trials... 'the devil is in the woods'!
Paranormal investigators are summoned to help solve the crimes. This book was somewhat of a disappointment. It started off alright, but became two agents 'playing house', rather than a police procedural in the typical sense. There was a so-so storyline/plot. But I have to admit, I'm not sure what it actually was. It was so unstructured. There were areas where the dialogue was frequently repetitive , especially with Agent Skye McMahon. Even the initiated romance was 'washed out', ie. they went into the shower together, she woke up with her head on his chest. I'd recommend staying with books by Anne Cleaves and J. A. Jance. I give it 2 to 2.5 stars overall. It's a shame because it started off well, but then it stalled. Part of the reason it took me longer to read it, compared to other books.

I was so excited to read this as I am fascinated by the Salem Witch Trials!! 🙌
This started off really well with Skye’s vision of what happened during the witch trials. I was hooked from the start, but then I felt like the pace slowed a bit in spots. I also didn’t understand the why behind the whole murder and kidnapping. This is the start of a new series, and I am little curious what case Skye and Zach take on next. Overall, I’d say it was a decent read! 👏

March 18, 2026I struggled from almost page one with both my interest in the story and the quality of the writing. I know that Heather Graham is a popular and extremely prolific author, but this novel in concept was interesting, but in the actual execution of said story, it was far from well-done.
I will not be finishing this novel, and as my copy was an ARC received through NetGalley, I will not be reviewing it at this time either.

January 26, 2026Unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. I LOVED the concept of looking into the past and talking to ghosts to solve crimes, but something about the characters and the dialogue just wasn't working for me.
Also trigger warning that this involves a 5 year old, which was a huge trigger for me.

I really wanted to like this book and honestly I wish I knew how it ended but the writing was too all over the place, disorganized with incomplete thoughts, and it felt honestly a little like AI slop. I wasn't interested enough to suffer past chapter 7 to see how it all played out.

Any hint of supernatural in stories and I'm along for the ride. The Witching Hours was a thrilling hunt involving the Wicked Witch of the West in Salem, MA - fitting given the city's witch trial history. I enjoyed uncovering leads and connecting suspects and motivations.
What stood out: This is a spin-off of the author's Krewe of Hunters series featuring investigators with psychic abilities. The main characters are Skye McMahon, who sees the past unravel in her mind, and Zachary Erickson, who has psychic touch. The combination of their abilities adds an edge to what would otherwise be a straightforward murder mystery.
I found this fast-paced, like watching the story on my TV screen. I liked the way the author kept leaving crumbs for readers to follow.
The romance building between Skye and Zach was a much-needed break from the tense investigation. Watching them connect as people beyond their psychic abilities made them more relatable.
I figured out who it was early on, but it's always the howdunnit or whydunnit that kept me reading. The motivation fell flat for me though.
Similar vibes: Fans of the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham would enjoy this spin-off. Also comparable to Kelley Armstrong's paranormal suspense series - A Rip Through Time.
You'll love this if: You like a blend of suspense, mystery, and paranormal elements.
Thanks to Kensington and NetGalley for my early ARC access for review.

🏚️ Skye McMahon and Zach Erickson, members of the Krewe, an elite special unit of FBI agents with psychic abilities, investigate a murder/kidnapping in Salem, Massachusetts.
Though I appreciated the connections to the Salem witches, the historical details, and the intriguing, mysterious plot, overall I didn’t love this one. I found the main characters very one dimensional and I didn’t really connect with either of them. Written in third person from dual POV, the dialogue between characters felt disjointed and in my opinion was uninteresting, difficult to follow, and used entirely too many exclamation points. Additionally, there was little to no build-up to the closed door romance so it just seemed unnecessary and forced. I did enjoy the paranormal aspects and delving into Skye and Zach’s respective psychic abilities as well as the twists and turns leading to the conclusion but ultimately that wasn’t enough to make me want to continue with this series.
✅ Check this one out if you like a closed door paranormal mystery featuring determined FBI agents with supernatural abilities and historical elements related to the Salem witch trials. Pairs well with black coffee and greasy diner food.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hambright PR for the ARC!
Set in present-day Salem, Massachusetts, The Witching Hour follows two detectives with psychic abilities, Skye and Zach, as they investigate a string of disappearances involving women and children. With Salem’s eerie history as the backdrop, the case quickly becomes more complicated than it first appears.
This one really gave me Supernatural meets Law & Order vibes. I loved the paranormal twist mixed with the investigative elements, and Skye and Zach made a great team. Their dynamic kept the story moving and made the partnership feel believable.
The book started off strong and pulled me in quickly, and overall it was a fast, easy read that kept the mystery moving at a good pace. If you enjoy crime stories with a supernatural edge, this one will definitely be up your alley.

This book had everything I would appeal to me in a book. Set in Salem, Wizard of Oz references, Witches all tied up in a thriller but I just didn’t like characters or the actual storyline.
I don’t know what it was about the main character Skye but I just didn’t like her. She had little to no personality and all she wanted to do was hook up with her Partner.
The ending to the story felt rushed and so did the romance between Skye and Zach.

What I liked most about this book was the setting in Salem because I’m mad for anything that has to do with Salem.
The tempo of the story was decent and the Krewe or the Crow division is getting more subdivided and specific.
An interesting read.
Thanks NetGalley edelweiss and Kensington for the advance copies.

I loved this fantastic novel of romantic suspense. I really enjoyed how this brings together what happened at the Salem witch trials and what seems to be happening now. I loved Skye and her gift and Zachary and his gift. I loved all of the twists and turns as these two have to save many people. I received a copy of this book and gave an honest opinion.

I like Heather Graham books so I wanted to like this. It started off alright, but then it was kind of dull and hard to get through. I almost left this unfinished, but decided plow through. It was not what I expected from a book that takes place in Salem Massachusetts.

Reading this felt like coming home. So excited to be back in the Krewe universe.
Ending felt a little rushed but I will never not love this ghost seeing/psychic group of FBI agents.

Supernatural, witches, missing people…. And Salem, MA! The summary sounded amazing and living near Salem and having been to many of the places mentioned, I could relate in so many ways. However, I found the book so hard to get into and follow. The writing for me was all over, disjointed, and full of excess information. I wanted to like it so much, but dnf after 110 pages.
