(A short Krewe of Hunters Story)

It’s New Year’s Eve. Jackson Crow and Angela had planned on being in the office, and then home to see in the new year with their children--who might or might not be awake at the magic hour.

But Adam Harrison came in, bringing a strange note warning of dire consequences just after the stroke of midnight.

Was the note—found between a coffee cup and a saucer a real warning against a random patron in the café, or a more specific threat against the man who discovered it? Was it possibly a prank, or was the threat far too real?

With no hard leads, the two will head out, determined to discover the truth and perhaps avoid a` tragedy as the old year gives way to the new.

I do love these characters as well as many of the others who inhabit other areas and places throughout her world. This author is really good at world-building and the creation of people who stand out for their very many talents. This is a contemporary world that resides right alongside our own with just a few differences. This takes place during the starting months of the pandemic and reflects what was going on then including the wearing of masks in public.

It's New Year's Eve. Jackson Crow and Angela had planned to be in the office, and then home to see in the new year with their children-- who might not be awake at the magic hour. Adam Harrison arrives with a strange note warning of dire consequences just after the stroke of midnight.

This was a perfect interlude and I am looking forward to more lengthy stories.

Always enjoy reading a story about the Krewe of Hunters. These short holiday books are packed with mystery and are quick reads. Angela and Jackson are called in again on a case on New Year's Eve. They only have a few hours until something terrible could happen. Will they figure it out before midnight?

Suspense with a smile

2020 was ending and the story plays on the hopes for a better 2021. Angela and Jackson are trying to stop a crime with only a few hours left. Adam brought it to their attention so he and his son Josh make an appearance in this story. It is fast paced and Angela is amazing with her seductive reasoning. Good read with a sweet and poignant ending.

This short story was both absolutely gut wrenching and heart warming. Generally with a story as short as this, I don't get the feels, but with this one it had me gasping and hard crying. It packed so much emotion into so few pages, I definitely recommend it, but also recommend perhaps keeping a box of tissues close 😅

Quick but interesting Krewe of Hunters story featuring Jackson and Angela Crow. When Adam calls them in to investigate a possibly threatening note, they're not sure what to expect. Can they solve the puzzle before it's too late?

Good story

Really enjoyable story with enough intensity and paranormal activity without the horror. Characters warm and likable. The only thing that bothers me was the typos. That's something you don't normally see in a Heather Graham book. There was a satisfying conclusion.

Another nice little Holliday mystery

A nice little mystery that's perfect for New Years Eve. Iackson and Angela help a threatened cafe find the solution to a threatening note. The solution turns out to help more than the cafe. And they manage to do it before midnight.

A pleasant story

Angela and Jackson investigate a possible death threat in this short story. Not too much mystery and no ghosts other than Adam Harrison’s son. Angela is instrumental in solving this one and her kind heart saves the day.
