I was pretty excited to see that Heather Graham had a new series out. I've read over 20 of the Krewe of Hunters books, and I have always enjoyed them.
This story is a spin-off of the Krewe of Hunters, and we immediately jump into the action and meet Della Hamilton and Mason Carter as they catch one serial killer and are asked to join a new, international force to work on a case spanning several different countries. Our new duo travels to Norway, Romania, and more chasing a potential vampire killer.
This story was fun because you still get the enjoyment of seeing some of your usual Krewe of Hunters team members, such as Jackson and Angela. That said, if you've never read this series, this story will still make sense to you and you're able to follow along easily.
I did listen to the audiobook and one thing I did struggle with was the narrator. He was fine for the majority of the story, but something about his narration of the female voices didn't work. Perhaps they sounded too matter-of-fact for me, and it made it hard to be entirely bought into them. The writing and characters themselves were fine, it was just those specific parts of the narration felt off.
This story does get resolution but simultaneously ends with a partial cliffhanger. Essentially, this case is solved in pieces, so in books two and three, they'll still be working on the same overall case, and solving portions as they continue their investigation.
If you've already devoured the Krewe of Hunters series, or are just looking for some paranormal mysteries this season, you'll enjoy this new series from Heather Graham!
