Author Heather Graham brings back her "Krewe of Hunters" in this action packed, sweetly romantic release. Charlene "Charlie" Moreau is working on a movie back home in Louisiana. She enjoys being home again until she stumbles over the body of one of the Civil War re-enactors sending everyone into the DARKEST JOURNEY they would ever experience. But it also brings back someone from her past which might mean a second chance.

Ethan Delaney is a new member of the F.B.I.'s Krewe, but he remembers Charlie very well. She has been a part of him since the day he rescued her from a graveyard prank that almost went very wrong when they were still in school. She still believes a ghost sent him to rescue her.

In the present they work together to solve the mystery that leads them to the Mississippi cruise ship captained by Charlie's father. Being together again brings a lot of things left unsaid all those years ago, and leads to something much stronger than either of them ever imagined.

DARKEST JOURNEY is a riveting mystery with a good dose of sweet romance. I loved the twists and turns author Heather Graham loves to throw the readers way. Just when you think you have the answer, something always throws you off. I was never too keen on ghost stories, but these books seem to give a much deeper story with the addition of the ghostly visitors and the look into their history. I have found myself looking up some of the tidbits of history to learn more. Having read a number of books of the Krewe I noticed that Graham has added more depth to the romantic side of the story in the more recent books, something that I appreciate. If you are in the market for a good mystery, interesting history, sweet romance with a second chance at love then DARKEST JOURNEY is the book you want to read.

Book Summary

They say it's about the journey, not the destination…

Charlene "Charlie" Moreau is back in St. Francisville, Louisiana, to work on a movie. One night, she stumbles across the body of a Civil War reenactor, the second murdered in two days. Charlie is shocked to learn that her father-a guide on the Journey, a historic paddle wheeler that's sponsoring the reenactment-is a suspect.

Meanwhile, Ethan Delaney, new to the FBI's Krewe of Hunters, is brought in on the case. He and Charlie have a history of their own, dating back to when he rescued her from a graveyard-led there by a Confederate ghost!

Charlie arranges a Mississippi River cruise so she and Ethan can get close to the reenactors, find out who knows what, who has a motive. They discover a lot more as they resume the relationship that ended ten years ago…but might die, along with them, on the Journey.
