About this ebook



San Antonio, Texas, 1800s: In room 207 at the Longhorn Saloon, in the long shadow of the Alamo, a woman was brutally murdered. Her killer was never found.

One year ago: In that same historic room, another woman vanished without a trace.

In the past months, San Antonio has become a dumping ground for battered bodies. When Texas Ranger Logan Raintree is approached to lead a group of elite paranormal investigators working the case, he accepts the challenge. And with it, his powerful ability to commune with the dead.

In Logan's new team is U.S. Marshal Kelsey O'Brien. Kelsey has been waiting all her life to work with someone who can understand her ability to "see" the past. Now she has her chance.

Together, Kelsey and Logan follow their instincts to the Alamo and to the newly reopened Longhorn, which once tempted heroes with drink, cards and women. If the spirits of those long-dead Texans are really appearing to the victims before their deaths, only Kelsey and Logan have the skills to find out why .

    Read from July 09 to 31, 2012Read for Fun!Overall Rating 3.75Story Rating 3.50Character Rating 4.00Audio Rating: 4.00 (Not part of the overall rating)First thought: I really like the new team :)What I Thought of the Case: The Unseen is set in San Antonio, TX and as a Native Texan I had to love it! As a history buff, I loved the setting even more. It was centered around The Alamo and the history of a missing diamond. The killings were very much committed by humans but the ghosts were such a HUGE help in figuring it out. I didn't quite figure out who did the grisly murders until about half way through. It was just a guess at that point but it ended up being right. Mysteries are best when they keep you guessing :)What I Thought of the Characters: The Unseen is the first book with a new Paranormal Investigation team. We do get to see a few characters from the original series but you could start here without missing a beat. I do like the new team almost as much as the old one. I am sure by the end of Book 4 they will be instilled in my heart. The main characters of The Unseen are Logan and Kelsey. They are both law enforcement but of different branches. Their different unique abilities work well together and I love their chemistry. Another great pairing by Heather Graham.What I Thought of the Audio: Not to sound like a broken record but Luke Daniels did a wonderful job. I recommend this series on audio! Though if you listen to a lot of audios that he does (which I do) then you will notice some re-use of accents. Sometimes that can make you laugh because that will make cross-series characters. Let's just say having Oberon act as some of these characters is hysterical. You quickly though get back into your story with just a little grin!Final Thought: I like this series and think most romantic mystery readers would too!

    Loved the beginning of the book, taking place in Texas, just before the start of the war at the Alamo, the beginning starts off with a bang. Than the book bogs down quite a bit, Crow putting together a new team of people with special abilities to investigate some present day murders as well as random appearances by a ghost, slows the novel down. This was an okay read but think it would have been better with more attention paid to the pacing of the book, maybe less time spent on back stories and more time spent on the concept. ARC by NetGalley.

    I think the first thing I loved about this book was its setting in San Antonio. I can't think of a place more suited to having spirits walking around than the area around The Alamo. Both of the protagonists in this book have special abilities and have tried to hide those talents from all but a very few individuals. As the case unfolds and more women start to disappear, you really get a sense of the frustration that Kelsey and Logan both feel. Even with their abilities, they can' t seem to get a read on these disappearances. I tried to figure it out as I always do when I read mysteries, but I found that I was wrong about who was behind the murders which was fun. It was nice to read a mystery that didn't involve an obvious plot.The Unseen was an exciting and smart mystery with a very spooky element that made it a page turner. The romance between Logan and Kelsey is sweet, but it is not the main focus of the story which was nice. Often I find that with the romance/mysteries the structure of the story suffers when the romance becomes the focus instead of the case that is being solved. This book struck a good balance and I was pleasantly surprised by how involved I got in the story. If you like hard to solve cases with a little romance and a few ghosts, I think you will find this book very enjoyable!

    THE UNSEEN caught my interest immediately and held it tight until the stunning conclusion. The characters are wonderful and very realistic. The pacing is spot on as the reader is taken on a roller coaster of a ride as the team attempts to catch the murderer before more bodies are found. Having a federal unit consisting of members with ‘special’ gifts is not a new theme though most fit into the thriller/suspense genre. Ms. Graham has definitely added her own deft touch with the sparks that Logan Raintree and one of his team members Kelsey O’Brien throw off. Also the legend of the Galveston Diamond is so possible that I had to do a web search to discover whether it really does exist. I am happy to say that it doesn’t and is only a part of Ms. Graham’s wonderful imagination that she shares with her readers.I highly recommend it to any readers who enjoy their romantic suspense with a touch of the paranormal. Also readers who enjoy Kay Hooper’s Bishop series will want to check out this series.I rate this book a 3.8.***I received this book at no charge from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. No monies have or will change hands.

    In Graham’s paranormal novel, room 207 at the Longhorn Saloon has been the scene of many crimes over the past century. In that very same room today, another woman vanishes never to be heard from again. San Antonio has become a dumping ground for mutilated bodies and Texas Ranger Logan Raintree and U.S. Marshal Kelsey O’Brien are approached to join a team of elite paranormal investigators currently working on the unsolved case. Together, Kelsey and Logan will follow their instincts to the Alamo and with their “special skills” they will discover the why of it all.Once again, Graham shines as an incredible storyteller in yet another great addition to the Krewe of Hunters series.

    I loved this book. Book 5 starts a new team of Krewe Hunters. This story takes place at the Alamo. Women are disappearing so Jackson Crowe comes to town to start another team. He contacts a Texas Ranger, Logan Raintree, and a US Marshal, Kelsey O'Brien. Neither are sure they want to join this team and leave jobs they love.As they learn about the women that are disappearing and try to figure out how the Alamo ties into the women, they become more and more interested in what this team can accomplish together and the talents each of them have.I did figure out who was doing the killings about 3/4 of the way through the book but it didn't change how interesting this story was. I didn't want to put the book down until it was finished. Very good read and one of my favorites in this series.

    The Unseen is the latest book by Heather Graham. I can say this book belongs in some part to the Krewe of Hunters series or at least it runs parallel to that series.

    Jackson Crow, the leader of the original Krewe of Hunters is in Texas organizing a second crew, since his original group is already too busy working many cases and they are not enough for all the demand of work they have. They need more people and here is where Texas Rager Logan Raintree and U.S. Marshall Kelsey O’Brien come. Raintree will be the director of this new group and will work with Kelsey and other members that will come along the way.

    After that blurb I think adding more than this will be telling the whole book.

    There were things I liked about this book and others I wasn’t so sure. Let’s start with what I liked.
    I really liked the historical facts and the description of the locations. I have never been in Texas let alone in The Alamo, but after reading this book I feel somehow as if I’ve been there and seen it. I did know about the Alamo, but not with much detail, what I didn’t know about it I learned with this book; I loved history so that was good, maybe if you already know the history of The Alamo all the historical mentions can be too much for you, but for me it was just perfect. Another thing I also liked was the Native American references, especially when the difference between Comanche and Apache beliefs were explained. I’m an admirer of Native American culture, so for me this was a special treat.
    Another thing I liked was that the whodunit wasn’t predictable. I had my suspicions but I wasn’t a hundred percent on it. I liked that very much, I liked when an author surprise me a leaves me with an “I didn’t see that one coming”.

    Now to what I didn’t like, first, the case in itself felt put together by force. I didn’t feel there was any connection between the murders to think that they were all related. Ok, I don’t know anything about police procedure but that was just my impression. In my opinion the case in general felt a bit farfetched.
    Another thing I had a problem with was Logan and Kelsey’s relationship, for sure there was an attraction between them, but I really didn’t feel a deep connection. It felt more as if they were having a fling than really getting into a serious and long lasting relationship.

    Despite the things I didn’t liked I can honestly say I enjoyed reading The Unseen. As I said before I loved the historical aspects of the story and I loved the ghost’s factor and the mystery behind the murders. I really want to know more about the other members of this new Krewe of Hunters and I’m planning to read future books in this series.
    I recommend you this book if you like mystery books with a paranormal touch and lots of history behind them.
