I picked this book up at Half Price Books for $1. I like Heather Graham books because she includes a little paranormal in her plots. This one was actually a little scary which I like!

You can read more of my reviews at my blog The Book Chick.
This is like the third book I have read by Heather Graham and still after I’m done with the book I have this feeling “thank you that it is finally over!”. That is not a good feeling to be left with. Almost all her books have a average 4+ star ratings and it is weird that non of those I have read, has appealed to me, at all. And I don’t really know why either. I think it is the writing that I can’t connect with. I feel bored and already at 20% of the book I wanted to DNF it, but didn’t since the story was a little interesting.
So, this book is about Jeremy Flynn. The second of the three brothers this series is about. He is in Salem, Massachusetts to help out a friend, who’s wife is missing. Roweena, who are from Salem is trying to help out. Jeremy met her through his brothers wife down in New Orleans and for weeks he have tried to stay clear of her but his feelings is to strong and in Salem there relationship takes a big turn. She tries to help him but there is a lot of stuff happening and on top of that, she has terrible dreams, she doesn’t know what to do with. Jeremy is a down to earth, facts and logic kind of guy who do not believe in stuff he can’t see. Together they need to work together to find Mary, the missing wife, and later on, find a killer.
Okay story, a little predictable and boring but still well described. Missed some hot and steamy feelings and scene between Jeremy and Roweena, which I think would have made the book better. And the rest are a little flat. Still I think it all is because of the writing and that it doesn’t captures me.
I do not think I will read more by Graham for now, I just think that she maybe not is an author for me.

This is book two of the Flynn Bother's trilogy.
This one takes place in Salem Massachusetts, and the legend of the Harvest Man. The wife of Jeremy Flynn's ex police partner has gone missing and Jeremy heads to Salem to help find her. Together him and Rowenna Cavanaugh set out to find the missing Mary, and find a body posed as a scarecrow.
I really enjoyed this one, the history and storytelling was great. It had a lot of twists and turns and red herrings. I actually thought I had the baddie figured out, and there turned out to be much more to it!
Overall loved it! Another great read by this author.

Same as the first story although the Harvest Man plot was slightly spooker than the first.

Good but I figured it out which is why I only give it three stars. Plus I feel it was rushed at the end.
