THE WITCHING HOURS

Romance Paranormal | Romance Suspense

Welcome to Heather Graham’s new Krewe F.B.I. series, The Crows, with THE WITCHING HOURS as its premiere book.

Skye McMahon is one of the special people in the world, though she was never sure it wasn’t a curse. She sees things. She can walk into a crime scene and see what happened. A woman with her ability is exactly what Jackson and his wife and partner are looking to build the new team of agents with. With Zachary Erickson, who has the ability to touch something and get the history of it, they are sent to Salem, Mass.

Before Skye even walked into the Bolton family home, she saw the history of the Salem Witch trials that so many are aware of. Then inside the house, she sees what many saw in The Wizard of Oz – a green-faced witch who kidnaps a nanny and the son of the family, leaving behind the infant daughter. Then she sees the same witch kill the grandfather. How do you tell the police to look for the Wicked Witch of the West?

THE WITCHING HOURS is entertaining and intriguing, wrapped in a paranormal mystery; this is author Heather Graham at her most spooky. Sky and Zachary recognize each other as different and a perfect match for one another. Jackson Crowe (and Ms. Graham) have a way of matching up these unique pairs who will end up partners for life.

The mystery of the kidnapping(s) and murder does not follow the expected pattern for a mystery reader, because of the element of paranormal involved. Β In THE WITCHING HOURS, it has a number of twists, people who seem to be the good guys but just might not be, and the perfect touch of romance to lighten the darkness that this couple must work through.

THE WITCHING HOURS is the perfect beginning to what appears to be an exciting series.

SUMMARY

A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, MA 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. 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 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 Bolton’s house.

What Skye sees is not another innocent from the 17th century swinging from a noose, but a bona fide crone, pointed hat and all, preying on the family like something from a nightmarish fairy tale. And when another local woman and her daughter inexplicably vanish, Skye has a second vision—that same witch creeping up on new victims on a lonely Salem road. It’s impossible to believe. Yet Skye’s visions never lie.

As Skye and Zachary grow closer, they’re lured into a mystery enveloping Salem like a fog. Navigating suspects, whispers of a cult, and a sinister history that threatens to reignite, 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.
