    About this audiobook

    For as long as it has stood overlooking New England’s jagged coastline, Lexington House has been the witness to madness…and murder. But in recent years the inexplicable malice that once tormented so many has lain as silent as its victims. Until now.

    A member of the nation’s foremost paranormal forensic team, Jenna Duffy has made a career out of investigating the inexplicable. Yet nothing could prepare her for the string of slayings once again plaguing Lexington House, or for the chief suspect—a boy barely old enough to drive, much less kill.

    With the young man’s life on the line, Jenna must team up with attorney Samuel Hall to pinpoint who—or what—is taking the lives of those who get too close to the past. But everything they learn brings them closer to the forces of evil stalking this tortured ground.

      Ghosts ,murder and deceit ,this was a wonderful book.Great series
    • 3/5
      This is the first book in this series where Jackson Crow's team is not called in to help the local police. Even Jackson and Angela aren't present until later. Jenna Duffy comes to Salem to visit her uncle who needs her help. A young boy was found covered in blood and wondering naked in the middle of the street. Jenna's uncle believes he is not a murderer, so he manages to convince her and the man who found the boy to investigate. Sam, a famous lawyer, even agrees to defend the boy.
      I liked the setting of this story. The time of the murders is around Halloween. The story has a lot of history (a parallel between the accused at the Witch trials and the unwillingness of the people to even consider that the boy might not be the killer only because he comes from a religious and strict family) and there is a lot of contemplation of justice and religious tolerance. The villain is not that obvious.

      There is less romance than in previous books though it doesn't ruin the story.
    • 4/5
      This is book 4 in the Krewe of Hunters series. I really enjoyed this story even though this is the first book in the series that I did figure out who the killer was before it was revealed. This story takes place in New England (Salem) close to Halloween. Jenna is the Krewe of Hunters team member that arrives home to visit her uncle and becomes involved in a series of murders. Enter, Sam Hall, attorney who just happens to arrive the night of the latest murder. Lots of interesting characters, dead and alive.
    • 3/5
      A well written book, although I thought the story was wat boring.
    • 5/5
      Heather Graham’s characters are pure gold. I love them! She doesn’t disappoint, but leaves you craving the next book. Luke Daniels as narrator is on point!!
    • 5/5
      This book was an excellent read - a little mix of paranormal and mystery - the ending was surprising. I'm giving this book 5 stars.
    • 2/5
      This book has a very interesting story line, which is difficult to get through when you're constantly being hit over the head with it's various themes.

      The same information about the Salem Witch Trials is presented multiple times from the perspective of each character, in the same chapter. The author repeatedly slams the reader over the head with the bible. There is a completely unnecessary romance sandwiched in between the male and female lead characters.

      I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
    • 4/5
      Attorney Samuel Hill is headed to his hometown for a little R&R after a tough case. He never expected to become embroiled in another high profile case. His curiosity is peeked as he stumbles upon a boy covered in blood. The boy is being touted as another Eli Lexington. Sam doesn't believe in all that mumbo jumbo. Just because the town is home to the legendary Lexington House doesn't mean evil ghosts provoked the boy to commit murder.

      This book is a fun read and a good mystery with a bit of American history thrown in to the mix. A great read. The paranormal stuff is good, but not over the top.
    • 4/5
      The Evil Inside is book four in the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham.

      Attorney Samuel Hall is returning to his native Salem, Massachusetts for a well deserved short vacation after an exhausting case. Late at night Sam is on his way to his Salem’s home when he encounters a young boy covered in blood in the middle of the road. He stops to assists him and calls the authorities. When the police arrive they identified the boy as Malachi Smith. Malachi is arrested on the scene and charged with the murders of his family. Sam knows the evidence implicates Malachi but something in his gut tells him the boy is innocent.
      Jenna Duffy is a member of a special FBI team known as the Krewe of hunters. They specialize in paranormal cases, Jenna specialty or ability is call post-cognition, it means she can talk to ghosts and in certain cases she can see what happened in the past when she is present in a room, almost like a residual reading.
      When Jenna receives a call from Jamie, requesting her help with Malachi’s case, Jenna cannot say no to her favorite uncle and accepts to help him. Jamie is Malachi’s psychologist, he knows Malachi better than anyone and he is certain Malachi is innocent. Jamie also contacts Sam requesting his help as a lawyer. After some consideration Sam accepts to represent Malachi as his attorney pro-bono.
      To be able to find out the truth about the murders Jenna and Sam need to work together, as a team, but there is a problem, Sam is a non-believer and kind of mocks Jenna’s “gift” and Jenna thinks Sam is a pompous man, and to add to this there is a unequivocal attraction between this two, as they say, opposites attracts.

      Jenna is a very likeable character; she knows her gift is not a normal one and not everybody is going to accept it but she is ok with that, she has come a long way accepting it herself and now she uses to help others with the collaboration of her FBI team.

      Sam is smart, cute and interesting. He comes as a non-believer but he is also not completely close to otherness. At the same time Sam is discovering himself, he thinks he is happy and has everything he wants in life but slowly he starts to question himself what is what he really wants to do with and in his life.

      As with all romance novels we know our heroine and hero are going to end together, the question is how are they going to get to that point. In Sam and Jenna's case they are attracted from the beginning and the more they know each other the more the attraction grows and the more they start to care for each other.

      The secondary characters are all interesting and diverse, from Jenna’s uncle Jamie to the Wicca members, from the mayor to the members of Malachi’s family conservative church. Some of the members of Jenna’s FBI team or Krewe Hunters are also present, it’s obvious there is a back-story with some of them but this didn’t affect or detract my enjoyment of The Evil Inside. It just made me want to pick up their books.

      What I like the most about The Evil Inside was the setting. I have always wanted to visit Salem MA. and have been very intrigue about the Salem witchcraft trials. They author not only does an amazing job describing the city of Salem but intermingles perfectly the historical facts about the witchcraft hunts with the story, to complete this, the events happens during Halloween. I don’t know of a more perfect setting for a mystery than this one.

      If you love mystery, suspense, ghosts and a well-written story with a touch of history The Evil Inside is the book for you. The Evil Inside is a fast pace thriller, with some twists in the story that will surprise you and will have you on the edge of your seat.
      The Evil Inside was my first novel by Heather Graham but I can guarantee you it won’t be my last.

      This book is set in Salem, MA, around Halloween, making it a perfect October read, in my opinion. Jenna Duffy is a member of the Krewe of Hunters, an FBI group made up of people with a little bit different skills- they can see ghosts. Jenna returns home to Salem at the request of her Uncle Jamie, a twee little Irishman, who can spin a good ghost story. He is also respected psychiatrist in the community, and when one of his patients, a teenager named Malachi, is accused of a murder Jamie doesn't believe he committed, he asks Jenna to return home and use her gifts to help free Malachi. They enlist the help of hot-shot attorney Sam Hall; Jenna and Sam inevitably fall in love, but Sam does have to struggle with a few aspects of Jenna's life- such as her ability to see ghosts. Jenna obliges her uncle, which leads to learning much more about the history of Lexington House, where Malachi lived and his family was axed to death.In my opinion, we didn't learn enough about the history of Lexington House. As with all the books in the series that I have read, I have enjoyed them immensely, but was left wanting to hear more of the back story. This book in particular left me even more curious than the rest. The house is "evil", filled with tales of murders that have taken place there throughout the decades, all the way back to the Salem Witch era, a period of time that has been an interest of mine for years. I wanted to know more about the history of the house, and why what happened there, happened. This is a fun book, and while it didn't scare me, it did have some pretty gruesome scenes. I enjoyed this book, and think it was a perfect addition to my October reading lineup.I also read this for the Frightful Fall Readathon hosted by Castle Macabre. I had intended to read more, but it just didn't work out this week.
    • 5/5
      In Heather Graham's paranormal romantic suspense novel, Jenna Duffy, a member of the nation's foremost paranormal forensic team, has made a career out of investigating the inexplicable. But nothing could have ever prepared her for the slayings that plagued Lexington House or for the chief suspect--a teenage boy. Teaming both professionally and romantically with attorney Samuel Hall, they work to pinpoint the who or what that is taking lives around them. Once again, Graham illustrates why she sits at the top of the genre.
