Dying Breath by Heather Graham

Dying Breath (Krewe of Hunters, #21)

by Heather Graham

As a teenager, Vickie Preston survived an attack by a serial killer. That was the first time she saw a ghost. Now the city of Boston is being terrorized - someone is kidnapping women and burying them alive, but cruelly leaving a glimmer of hope for the authorities by sending a clue about their location. Vickie is pulled into the investigation when her name is mentioned in one of the notes. And as a historian, she has the knowledge to help uncover the graves the killer known as the Undertaker is choosing. But she also has another, unique lead: the spirit of one of the victims is appearing to her in dreams. Special Agent Griffin Price is on the case for the Krewe of Hunters, the FBI's special unit for paranormal investigators. He feels particularly protective of Vickie, since their shared past is connected to the threat that currently surrounds them. With the killer accelerating his plans, time is running out for more victims hidden around the city. Vickie is becoming closer with Griffin, but she's getting too close to the danger, and every breath could be her last.

Excellent cover for this book. Great representation of the story. Excellent use of graphics. Interesting typography. That said, AGAIN the author's name should not overpower the title on a book cover, and this one does just that. So It loses a star for having one of my biggest pet peeves in cover creation history!

If I have said it once I have said it a million times I just LOVE this author's paranormal mystery books. I love the settings she chooses. I love the history she injects into the stories. The who-done-its always keep me hooked and turning the pages. I just enjoy the hell out of them, and this one was no different.



Now, like above, if I said it once I have said it a million times the weakness in these books is always the romance angle. It always feels forced and underdeveloped, and the sex scenes (very mild) are always overly flowery with a lot of "withering" included. But since I don't read these books for the romance aspect I simply tend to overlook that and focus on the rest of the story.

So with that in mind, this one gets two thumbs up from yours truly.
