About this ebook
A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, Massachusetts, 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.

THE WITCHING HOURS - I thought I had read books by Heather before, but after trying to read this book, I was wrong. This is not a well written story. The dialog left me cringing and shaking my head.. The story lines sounded interesting, but no. The characters left me uncaring. Source: Netgalley and Kensington Books. 2* A CRUISE TO DIE FOR - Thinking I had read Heather in the past, I requested this ARC. I forgot that I already had The Witching Hours in my queue, which I now read and didn't like.

Loved reading the mesmerizing and amazing story. When Skye and Zach, both FBI Agents with magical powers, are called on the case in Salem, more and more people end up missing by someone or someone's dressed up as green witches. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of mystery and intrigue, and another riveting story by the phenomenal author, Heather Graham.
