Craig "Rocky" Rockwell, the newest member of the Krewe of Hunters, a team of F.B.I. paranormal investigators finds himself back in the area he grew up. He never forgot his friend whose body he found, nor the fact that he had heard her call for him. After she was dead.
The discovery and circumstance bring the Krewe to Salem and they try to delve through the history of the witch hunt and stop the deaths. Along the way Rocky and Devin find that they have a lot more in common than seeing ghosts ... they are falling for each other. They both must use every skill possible to find the truth or Devin just might be next.
THE HEXED will take you through an intriguing maze with the right amount of twists and turns to keep you off balance to the surprising ending. Author Heather Graham has a fantastic way of leading you down one road letting you think you know who did it only to throw up an unexpected wall and you have to start over playing detective. I love the Krewe of Hunters as a whole and the way they work together. Rocky and Devin are the perfect match and the romance between them was actually cute. He is solid and despite being anxious about the case and his past, he is thinking deeply of a relationship but is unsure if now is the right time. I thought it was great how finally Devin took the big step because she was tired of waiting for the right time and just made one. There were a couple of minor problems I had with this book. At times I wanted to say to Devin ... how many times must he explain that the more they know the more they can eliminate suspects ... because she kept defending her friends and Wiccan's as a whole. Also I would have liked for the ghosts to get a little more into the action. It seemed to me that Aunt Mina should have been more help; she was after all a witch and knew the area and how things worked. Also after bringing up the ghost from the Witch Trials time, it would have been nice to somehow complete her story. That said I still enjoyed THE HEXED and look forward to what ever comes out of the captivating mind of Ms. Graham.
Book Summary
A place of history, secrets…and witchcraft.
Devin Lyle has recently returned to the Salem area, but her timing couldn't be worse. Soon after she moved into the eighteenth-century cabin she inherited from her great-aunt Mina—her "crazy" great-aunt, who spoke to the dead—a woman was murdered nearby.
Craig Rockwell—known as Rocky—is a new member of the Krewe of Hunters, the FBI's team of paranormal investigators. He never got over finding a friend dead in the woods. Now another body's been found in those same woods, not far from the home of Devin Lyle. And Devin's been led to a third body—by…a ghost?
Her discovery draws them both deeper into the case and Salem's rich and disturbing history. Even as the danger mounts, Devin and Rocky begin to fall for each other, something the ghosts of Mina and past witches seem to approve of. But the two of them need every skill they possess to learn the truth—or Devin's might be the next body in the woods…
