Totally didn't see the whodunnit. Kept guessing right up to the last chapter. Enjoyed the romance this time too...and got a few giggles from the live-in ghost. All in all, nicely done!

This is the sixth book in the Krewe of Hunters series and it is actually my favourite one yet! Madison and Sean are fantastic characters and the setting in a Special Effects studio was absolutely fascinating. Probably the most interesting setting I have read so far. The ghosts did play a part, of course, but not as prominently as in some of the previous books. This is not a criticism, though, the book is absolutely amazing as it is! And, something I really enjoy with thriller/crime books, I didn't actually know exactly who the killer was until the end! A great read!!

Enjoyable novel with a few twists I didn't see comilng. Madison is very likable, friendly, charming. Sean is handsome, protective, but not too overly protective, just how I like my heroes. Love the addition of Madison's sometimes house guest as well. The perfect amusing touch.

The Unholy is a fun and easy read. I enjoyed the characters being able to speak with the dead and Madison having a famous film star following her around. Graham did well in making the real killer unknown and creating a sense of intrigue. I also enjoyed the setting for the mystery a lot as well. However, I didn't enjoy a lot of other parts. The romance felt a bit forced and it felt a bit forced. It's also interesting to mention almost every character we are introduced to are handsome or pretty and white. (There are some gay people in the story though.) Also the plot twist of who the killer was didn't feel fulfilling at all, even though there was a lot of build up to it. There was a lot of cool stuff and awesome settings, yet the story didn't fulfill it in anyway.

It has been a little while since I picked up one of the Krewe of Hunters novels as I went back and read the rest of the Harrison Investigations series, also by Heather Graham, before going back to this one. I enjoy reading these books when I'm looking for something light that doesn't take all of my concentration to read.
The story started off on quite an interesting note and from there the mystery got going a little. The investigation from the beginning was quite interesting and I enjoyed following the characters along as they investigated the mysterious circumstances surrounding the victim's murder.
These books are quite enjoyable but I will admit that they are pretty formulaic in places and I find that I can't read too many of these books in too short a time or I will start to struggle with them. I did find this one to be different to the previous books by Heather Graham I had read recently but at the same time some of the other aspects were
The mystery aspect of this book was so good. I had been trying to guess who the murderer was but I do feel as though Heather Graham does a good job of placing red herrings throughout the book. Basically, right up until the reveal I had no idea who the killer was so I was definitely surprised.
Overall, I enjoyed reading The Unholy but I did find my attention wandering a little in places mostly just due to the fact that this series is very formulaic in terms of the romance aspects and I find those bits a little tedious at times.

Sean once worked on movie sets as a special effects master. Now he is a part of the ghost seeing FBI krew of hunters, He’s been called in by his old boss Eddie after his son is accused of murder. The studio has been working on a remake of the old Sam Stone movie, which has been titled The Unholy. Madison, a member of the studio also has the ability to see ghosts. Her roommate is Bogie, yes that bogie (Bogart). While the crew and Madison are digging for clues, and gathering information, Vengeance is active and just awaiting the next victim. This title is typical of the series and is a good read. However Graham has written much better sex scenes.
