Haunted House: Review

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham comes a new story in her Krewe of Hunters series…

Halloween! Strange things are going to happen and every year, while loving the holiday, members of the Krewe of Hunters also dread it.

Something somewhere is bound to happen.

And it does.

Krewe member Jon Dickson's fiancée Kylie Connelly is contacted by an old friend who has just moved to Salem, Massachusetts, when the unimaginable happens as the holiday approaches.

Jenny Auger has just managed to buy the historic home of her dreams. But it comes with far more history than she ever imagined—the skeletal remains of seven victims interred in the old walls of the house years and years before—along with a threatening curse.

And strange things are happening in the city. Bizarre attacks…murders that mimic days of old.

With Halloween on the way.

Kylie has a history with the city of Salem, and her strange talent for being within the minds of those under attack—first realized in the city—remains sharp.

But the situation is far more dire than what they have discovered, with strange events and attacks occurring.

And with all their talent for crime solving—with help from the living and the dead—it still remains to be seen if they can solve the murders of the past before Halloween, and the bloodbath that just might occur if the sins of a time gone by cannot be brought to light.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review:
I think it's a given at this point, that for October, we'll get a novella in this series, because I mean, a special group of FBI agents (and those that become their significant others) see ghosts, that just works perfectly with the spooky season! And I enjoyed this latest story! 

I enjoyed being with Kylie and Jon. Kylie was the first of the 2020 full length books that featured unique abilities, in Kylie's case, being able to experience the murder as if she was the one being killed Which yeah, is not pleasant, but it's a pretty useful crime solving skill! And I loved how this book played with that ability! 

Of course this book takes place in Salem, it's where Kylie and Jon met, and it has a rich history, and it, along with New Orleans take the top well known spots for supernatural goings on. And this case involves a house, and a historical murder...

The list of suspects, in the end, was really quite short, but figuring out which one of them was behind it-and their reason-had me guessing until the end! An oh, did the killer surprise me! I loved how that all played out! 

I had a great time reading this book, and I can't wait for the next installment!
