New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham

“Graham deftly weaves elements of mystery, the paranormal and romance into a tight plot that will keep

the reader guessing at the true nature of the killer’s evil.”

in detail. The transitions between past and present

flow seamlessly, the main characters are interesting

and their connection to one another is believable.”

mature characters involved in challenging situations.”

—Lesa’s Book Critiques on The Unseen

is exhilarating and fast-paced.”
