The Unseen (utgåvan 2012)

Love how much history (real and imagined) is in this book. ( )

3 ½ Stars

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. ( )

My rating 3.75 Stars ( )

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. ( )

What a fantastic book ! It is a a page turner! Always kept me on toes! Lets just say "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!! ( )
