The first book that I am going to review is Deadly Night by Heather Graham and is the 1st book in her Flynn brothers trilogy. Graham was a new to me author that I found scanning the web and I picked this book out of the many she has written using Fantastic Fiction (I love that website!). Deadly Night introduces us to the three Flynn brothers with Aiden being the main focus of the story. Basically, the brothers learn that they have inherited a plantation in New Orleans from an unknown family member. While trying to figure out what to do with the historical house, Aiden finds out that there are mysterious things going on with the house and meets Kendall who is a fortune-teller. The two get involved in the mystery surrounding the house and the story goes from there. My thoughts on this one are going to be short and sweet as it has been awhile since I read it. I liked it (but didn't love it) and was interested enough to want to continue on with the trilogy and read more of this author's books. I liked the supernatural aspects that were included throughout the story and felt that it made it less like a typical romantic suspense novel. It didn't always flow well for me but it was a suspenseful page turner and I ended up enjoying it ( )Heather Graham has failed to impress me over the last few years, but the premise of her books is always so good that I keep coming back. She surprised me and wowed me with this one! I loved the New Orleans setting, the ghosts, the voodoo...all of it was very eerie and suspenseful. It wasn't dripping in romance, and the heroine wasn't a foolish helpless woman waiting for a man to rescue her. First in the series. Superb! “Deadly Night” was an excellent paranormal thriller that kept you at the edge of your seat wanting more. The love story also helped too. It was a great find for me, and I will unquestionably read the next two books in the Flynn Brothers Trilogy. I would recommend this to all readers. After he and his brothers inherit a New Orleans plantation, Aidan Flynn, a private investigator, delves into the dark history of his new home, with the help of a beautiful tarot card reader, when he stumbles upon human bones. This was romantic, suspenseful, with a little paranormal thrown in. Very entertaining. Looking forward to the next book in the series. The story of these 3 by the book former cops being asked to believe in something they cannot explain was great. I think this is how most of us feel about understanding the supernatural. no reviews | add a review

|
Aidan Flynn, a private investigator and eldest of the Flynn brothers, scoffs at the haunted-house rumors—especially since Kendall Montgomery, a tarot card reader who has been living in the mansion, is the one to tell him the tale of a woman in white. But when he finds a human bone on the grounds and another by the river, Aidan delves into the dark history of the Flynn plantation.
Forced together to uncover the truth, Aidan and Kendall realize that a serial killer whose victims seem to vanish into thin air has long been at work…and that their own fates are about to be sealed forever unless they believe in the unbelievable.
