The Seekers by Heather Graham
3.0
Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to review this book.
I enjoyed the story, but I have to say that I wasn't blown away. I felt the timeline was rushed, and the characters weren't fully realized. I felt the overall book could have been deeper and richer than it was.
The book is apparently one in a series, but stands alone fairly well. A paranormal group called the Truth Seekers contact a famous actor, Carl, and a historical true crime writer, Keri to investigate an inn with a deadly history in Pennsylvania. When the case turns deadly, and an FBI agent out of New York is found brutally murdered in the inn's basement, the Krewe is called in.
I felt the relationship between Keri and Joe developed far too quickly. In a matter of just a couple of days they go from absolute strangers to involved. I found Carl to be far too young and childish, always scuttling around behind the investigator's coattails. The Truth Seekers also were basically just names until their storyline was needed again in link to the murder.
While I liked the information about the Pennsylvanian hex culture and Amish, the fact of it was there just wasn't enough substance to the book to make it great. It's an easy beach read, but not something I'd seek out for a good thrill.
