The Unknown

Krewe of Hunters #35

by Heather Graham

Someone wants to watch the city burn…

Sienna Murray was only fourteen when she pulled her neighbors out of a raging house fire. A decade later, she still can’t explain what happened that night, how she knew to save them at just the right moment—or why she receives the same mysterious warning when it happens again…

New member of the Krewe of Hunters elite paranormal team FBI agent Ryder Stapleton doesn’t believe in coincidences. So when the suspicious fire he’s called to investigate reveals a cryptic link to Sienna, he can’t help but think the unassuming museum curator has something to hide. But he soon discovers they have more in common than he ever thought—and a growing attraction neither can deny.

If they're going to have a future, Sienna and Ryder need to catch a serial arsonist roaming the shadowy streets of New Orleans…before the city burns down around them.

3.5 I have read every single Krewe Hunters book since the first one was published, including the Harrison Investigations Series which preceded the Krewe Series. I have always loved them. However, I have to remove a 1/2 star on this one for one specific reason. The female lead character, Sierra, was beyond annoying. There is one thing about being naive. There is another when you are being told how deadly serious the situation is by someone who handles murder investigations and has a lot of experience with them. Sierra was repeatedly told how dire and deadly things were becoming yet she continued to scoff at everything and thought she knew better. I just wanted to slap her! The mystery itself was great, as always, and I never did figure it out. And, a frequent location for the author, New Orleans, is always fun to read about. Still, I can't wait for the next Krewe of Hunters book comes out.

Did not finish. The fantasy component was too far off base - for me

How many times can the characters tell each other the same thing? Let me count the ways . . . no, that would be so boring . . . just like the book.

[Anne Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

Maybe you need to read the whole series, but I didn’t I just read this one because I didn’t realise it was a series. Anyway, it left me cold. Couldn’t care less about the characters they were not developed in any way, no plot twists and few ghosts, it claimed to be a rom com/gothic horror mix- it isn’t. The plot was mundane, the false trails obvious and it ended with a fizzle not a bang. I’ll not be bothering with the rest.

Awesome book!! I don't think there is such thing as a bad Heather Graham book! This was another Krewe of Hunters installment with intrigue, twists and turns!!!

While The Unknown is the thirty-fifth novel in the Krewe of Hunters paranormal, romantic suspense series each contains a mystery and romance.

Sienna Murray, at fourteen, saved a child and her mother from a house fire at her Granny K’s urgings. She didn’t know it at the time, but her Granny was no longer among the living. Since then, Granny has been her guardian angel and traveled with her to New Orleans, where Sienna manages everything from the daily operations to the publicity for a Wax Museum and Animal sanctuary.

When her Granny awakens her in the middle of the night to get her neighbors out of their home because of a gas leak, she doesn’t hesitate. However, it puts her on Agent Ryder Stapleton’s list of possible suspects. She is hiding something from him. Ryder sees ghosts, so it doesn’t take long before he figures out Sienna had some otherworldly help.

When Sienna is almost assaulted during a break in at the museum, Ryder begins to suspect the unsolved blaze and the gas explosion are linked.

I enjoyed this more than the Forbidden and was glad to see Agent Finn again. Ryder is a good detective and will be a valued asset to the Krewe. He knows everything is linked. He just needs to figure out the how. I enjoyed the case and cast of suspects.

Sienna and Ryder had a haters’ to lovers’ romance. He annoyed her, but mostly because she didn’t want to be accused of these heinous acts, all because she could communicate with Granny K. The chemistry was there and built from attraction to something more.

Granny K was a hoot, and we met other ghosts in NOLA who helped with the case. I easily slipped in and once I found the time, I quickly devoured the story.

Fans of mysterious in various locations with some local history weaved in will enjoy these paranormal romantic suspense tales. I’ve read all of them and will continue to do so as they are comfort reads. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

Another great read by my favorite author. 💜

[Kira Barman · Rating 2 out of 5]

Someone somewhere referred to books as chocolate- not everything is fine Belgian handmade goodness, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the Hershey bar. Will I eat the Hershey bar? Yes. Will I eat the Hershey bar that has been sitting in my car and melted into the paper and solidified back into some other shape? Also yes. But I’m not going to enjoy it as much and I’m kind of disappointed in myself when I eat it. These books are getting to be of the latter variety.

After 35 installments it’s hard to come up with a new formula. Beautiful heroine with eyes a color never actually seen in nature (seriously, have you ever met anyone with emerald eyes?). Ridiculously handsome men that choose law enforcement over some other profession like personal trainer or male model. Ok fine- Hershey bar. But some of the things are getting ridiculous, like every book mentions that they put the gun on the bedside table while they tumble, ya know, just in case something happens during the night. And lately the love storylines just seem to be phoned in. Hate each other, hate each other, notice attractiveness, proceed to Go and live happily ever after…after like a week, they’re sure this is the one forever and ever. It’s like halfway through the book the author remembers they are supposed to hook up and makes it happen. And it seems the author is running out of reasons for people to investigate together, so they’re also just making that happen without solid reasoning behind it.

The first several installments of this series were enjoyable reads, and there have been installments here and there I have really liked. I like that the author finds tidbits of history from the various locales and works them into the stories. The ghosts are often interesting characters. But the main characters and storylines need to be much, much less formulaic and predictable, or I might have to put these into the “don’t bother, save your time” category. 😕

I’m giving 3 ⭐️’s. Nothing wrong with the book really, the series just doesn’t seem as exciting as they once were. I used to devour the ‘Krewe’ books in 1 or 2 sessions, and that’s just not happening anymore.

Oh, this was another great book, another great couple, and I found the mystery really great!

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

As I've mentioned before, I eagerly await each entry in the Krewe of Hunters series.

This time, we start when 14-year-old Sienna Murray's beloved Granny K tells her she needs to run down the street to a house fire; there's a woman and a baby who need to be rescued. The tricky bit is, when Sienna tells her parents that's how she knew to go, they tell her that Granny K had passed away a couple of hours before.

Ten years later, there's another house fire ... and Granny K warns her again.

Ryder Stapleton, a NOLA cop newly recruited to the Krewe, believes Sienna's story ... because he, too, can see the dead. He can even see Granny K.

Pretty soon, it's apparent that Sienna is being targeted as she gets closer to the truth of the tale. She works in an oddity museum and they start having problems there. More dead bodies are turning up, and the Krewe needs to figure out how they're connected.

This is a fair play puzzle; we get the first clue in the very beginning of the book. But there are so many red herrings that it's easy to forget. Heather Graham is beyond talented in creating suspense.

I didn't really feel the chemistry between Ryder and Sienna, but that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The mystery itself kept me turning pages to see what happened next.

[Pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was very suspenseful, and had a great storyline. I loved the ghost in this story. The leading female character was just ok. She ran hot, and cold with snarky comments to the FBI agents that were protecting her. Her superior attitude got old quick. I did love Fin, and Ryder who were great. I also loved the museum, pet, and rescue she worked in. The story involved an arsonist, who also was a killer for hire. The hard part was figuring who all were involved. I did not guess this one. The ending was great, and it ended well. There was a steamy romance. Nothing vulgar though. I gave it four stars.

[April Oharah Hernandez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though all of her Krewe of Hunters books are similar they make for quick reads and always have some new aspect in them.

[Nicole · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was fine. The lack of history in it bummed me out (it talked about some, but it had already been gone over extensively in other books in the series) and I found the plot meh, but it was a good enough read for a daily commute.


Some of the dialogue is so awkwardly written that it seems like a robot is talking, because no one talks that way. It’s so stilted and weird. Sienna in particular, when needing to tell a lie near the end, sounds like a robot (despite the fact she managed to tell a lie earlier and sounded normal). It was very inconsistent.

Some of the writing in general was weirdly written- some sentences were structured in such a weird way that I had to go back and read them again to figure out what it was even trying to say.

This is the first book I’ve read that dealt with Covid and it was weird didn’t name it for most of the book. It just went ‘troubled times’ types of things. That was weird and just confused me more than anything. This series has never had trouble dating events before, so why pussyfoot around making this one? I mean, everyone in real life, even kids, just calls it Covid/the pandemic. I don’t know why this stuck out to me so much- but it felt so weird. I shrugged it off, but later on they DO call it the pandemic and specifically Covid, which made the awkward avoiding naming it earlier even weirder.

(After the pandemic- God that was depressing in December 2021)

I’d like for at least one of these books to avoid the trope of random person (usually the ghost) in a character’s life badgering the main (usually female) character about not being in a relationship and pushing them to get involved with the other MC (regardless if it’s appropriate at the time). I’m not saying they can’t get together, but just avoid that cliche. It’s overused in the genre.

I still don’t completely understand how this special unit gets called in. This wasn’t supernatural and it seemed as though they lent an agent as a favour? Is that how the police works? Don’t they have channels they have to run through and procedures to follow?

Other things are becoming super repetitive as well- some Spoilers: oh no, my coworkers are secretly evil psychopaths who enjoy killing! There’s making a mystery, and then there’s using a trope to death, so much that you know one of them is going to be the killer once the workplace has been introduced. Couldn’t it be someone else who is the killer for a change? Like, anyone but a coworker.

The entire plan is so far fetched it makes absolutely no sense. It takes galaxy brain levels for a character to plan that and think it will work, let alone multiple ones. It actually ruined a bit of the story for me, because I ended the book thinking ‘that was so stupid’.

Before Detective Ryder Stapleton leaves the New Orleans Police Department for the FBI, he has a last case to solve. A house in the Garden District is on fire, a fire that was deliberately set. It was called in by Sienna Murray, a neighbor who said she smelled smoke. The ghost of her grandmother woke her but she can’t tell police that. Ryder also has the ability to communicate with departed souls and meets Sienna’s grandmother. He finds that Sienna saved two family members from a similar fire when she was a teen. Could the two cases be connected even though ten years have gone by? Then a burned body is recovered from the river and the body is that of a doctor involved in testing new equipment for dialysis treatment.

Fin Stirling, FBI agent, is sent to assist Ryder. They think Sienna might be in danger as she has stopped two fires so everyone who works at the museum with her is investigated. This turns up questions involving investments in medical companies where two companies are competing for the
new dialysis equipment that had been tested by the doctor who was killed.

The book was suspenseful and the "bad guys" were not expected. The only drawback was the character of Sienna. I agree with other reviewers regarding this character. She was not only a spoiled brat but a sarcastic bitch. I was surprised Ryder even wanted to kiss her!

3.5
After being underwhelmed by book 1 of the Krewe of Hunters series, Phantom Evil, I was pleased to find a more concise story and better character development in the 35th book in the series, The Unknown. The plot seemed far-fetched for the average Joes involved, but I enjoyed getting to know main characters Sienna and Ryder, who thankfully had at least a little chemistry before joining forces in the bedroom, and secondary characters like Sienna’s colleagues at the museum. Sienna’s grandmother, Granny K, was my favorite personality, thanks to her sassy observations and mild meddling.

I did find it a stretch that the book is described as being part of the Krewe series, since Ryder is a New Orleans detective who doesn’t become a member of the Krewe team until the book ends. Angela Hawkins from the original Krewe team does have a very small part in this tale and more recent Krewe member Fin a secondary role, but the story still seems more like a spin-off than a sequel. Perhaps Krewe books 2-34 follow a similar pattern.

There was a storyline involving rodents that seemed unnecessary and unsupported, as well as characters like Sienna’s parents that remained underdeveloped, but overall The Unknown was an enjoyable read.

[Mai · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was underwhelming. It's been a while since I read a Krewe of Hunter book but this just didn't have the same pizazz. The series tend to have a paranormal bent to the plot so I'm usually left guessing if the culprit is a ghost or not. It was obvious the culprit was alive and someone Sienna knew. The paranormal aspect was not exciting or suspenseful since the only ghost was Sienna's grandmother and known ghosts that the Krewe were already aware of.

The plot was boring, I guess is the best way to describe it. They figured out pretty fast that the fire was a murder attempt. The only thing that really annoyed me was Sienna being super dense about all the coincidences and thinking that nothing was connected at all.

The romance was nonexistent. Sienna didn't like Ryder at first cause he was so suspicious of her yet they fall into bed together cause of their attraction. What attraction? They slept together two days after meeting each other for thw first time and that was after about three meetings.i felt no attraction or lust.

[M · Rating 3 out of 5]

I prefer female protagonists with brains & common sense

Another quick read in the Krewe series with a more convoluted plot than usual due to arson and other crimes committed ten years apart. This book has a lot of secondary characters and thus, more red herrings. Also, there is more romance and sex in “Unknown” compared to other Krewe books that I’ve read.

When reading crime fiction—even romances masquerading as such—I would like protagonists I can root for, not one who makes me roll my eyes. At first I thought that Sienna Murray, the female protagonist and ghost-seer, was only naive. However, by 30% into the book, she is willingly, stubbornly, and annoyingly naive. How many times do FBI agents have to say: “YOU ARE IN DANGER.” I’d like a female protagonist with intelligence, logic, and common sense, please.

3.5 stars but not 4 stars.

[Fraser Sherman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Protagonist Sienna sees dead people — well, one dead person, her grandma. After granny nudges Sienna to save her neighbors from a fire, that draws the attention of the Krewe of Hunters, a special band of cops who also see dead people. It appears the fire was the work of a serial arsonist and they're really, really not happy Sienna saved the victims ...
This didn't work for me at all but that's more genre/reader mismatch than anything wrong with the book. So if romantic suspense with ghosts is more your sort of thing, this might work fine.

Ghosts, murder, arson. Who is guilty? Who is not? And why? HEA and the guilty are apprehended.

[R · Rating 2 out of 5]

**MINOR SPOILERS**
This book is part of the Krewe of Hunters series but can be read as a standalone. A few characters from other books appear or are mentioned.
The writing felt stiff.
Sienna can speak with her dead grandmother. In the prologue of the story, her dying/dead grandmother, Granny K, tells her to rescue someone from a fire which she does. 10 years later, her grandmother warns her of another fire and Sienna wakes her neighbors before they can die. Sienna tells the investigators that she smelled gas and they are suspicious of her story. As the book continues, Sienna gets involved in the investigation as she is under Ryder’s protection.
Throughout quite a bit of the story, Sienna spends a lot of time in denial about what is happening. At one point, it is obvious that someone has searched her office, but she does not mention it to Ryder who she is involved with. She also hears whispers during an attack and does not mention that either.
Ryder is one of the investigators. He can also speak with the dead. When he is first introduced, he came across as pushy. Later, I did not think that was true. Ryder is quite protective of people including Sienna. He fairly quickly ties together events that do not, on the surface, seem to tie together.
There was not much relationship development between Sienna and Ryder. The story takes place over a short period of time. I also did not think there was much character development other than the vet at the museum and perhaps Granny K.
There were many improbabilities in the story. First, when Savannah saves some of the family from death, the person targeted was not even there. Second, an attempt on his life was not made again for a full year. Third, the deaths in this story were 10 years later. It made no sense for them to be that far apart. Fourth, rats were caught and had their throats slashed for no apparent reason. The author acknowledges that it would have been difficult to catch them, and it definitely would have been. In a minor example, Sienna gets blood on her shoes and then enters her parents’ house. Next, one of the perpetrators was seen with a hat that covered most of his/her face, but he/she could not be identified. It seems as if the general build, race, etc could have been brought out. Security cameras could have captured an image of the person. Next, it really was not that clear why the villain wanted Sienna dead.
In addition, there were issues that could have been clarified. For example, could Sienna see her grandmother in the intervening years? Could she see other ghosts? A couple of the coconspirators were nuts but that was not evident anywhere else in the story. A man from Sienna’s hometown was first described as being creepy, yet later in the story was more or less described as just someone from her hometown with a completely different attitude about him.
I do not plan to continue the series or the author.

‘Adam Harrison put together a group of people with special skills … These are their stories.’

The Unknown is Book #35 in the Krewe of Hunters series by Heather Graham...
Okay, so if you’re into crime-solving with a supernatural twist, then Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters series is like comfort food for your spooky-loving soul. Imagine a team of FBI agents who can see and communicate with ghosts - but instead of it being all doom and gloom, it’s got this cozy, slightly romantic vibe mixed in with the mystery.
Each book focuses on a different agent, so you get fresh characters and settings every time, but there’s still that familiar “Krewe family” feel. The cases range from creepy old mansions to haunted battlefields, and Ms. Graham is really good at weaving in bits of history without making it feel too ‘heavy’.
Are the plots sometimes a little predictable? Sure. But honestly, that’s part of the charm - you’re there for the atmosphere, the ghostly encounters, and the slow-burn romances as much as the whodunit. It’s the kind of series you can dip in and out of without feeling lost, although saying that, reading the books in consecutive order gives you a bigger picture as well as providing a nice sense of connection between the characters.
If you like your mysteries with a dash of paranormal, a sprinkle of romance, and a cast of likable, slightly quirky investigators - then the Krewe of Hunters is a fun, binge-worthy ride. Perfect for late-night reading with a cup of tea.
Happy Reading… 👻

3.25 stars.

I'm a bit confused about our hero Ryder. He appeared in the previous two books The Unforgiven and The Forbidden but I do not remember any mention about him being able to see dead people? But in this latest one, he's not only seeing dead people, he's already resigned from NOPD to take up with the Krewe?

I was trying to figure out if he's the same detective who started seeing ghosts whilst working on a case with the Krewe but couldn't figure out which book that was. There was another Ryder in The Dead Heat of Summer but with a different surname and a different heroine so it's not the same guy. Anyhow, this was just an ok book for me.

Sienna Murray pulled her neighbors out of a burning house when she was 14, and ten years later, she does it again. Detective Ryder Stapleton of the New Orleans police department is the newest member of the FBI's elite Krewe but is asked to work on the case before his resignation us final. As he looks into things, Ryder believes that the two cases are linked and that Sienna might be in danger. As Ryder and Sienna spend time together, they realize that there's an attraction between them they don't want to deny. What will the future hold?

I love Heather Graham's books especially her Krewe of Hunters series and this book is no exception. The book's well-written with well-rounded characters and a mystery that'll keep you guessing. I was drawn into the book from the beginning and kept hooked throughout, really enjoying Ryder and Sienna'a story. I'm looking forward to more from the Krewe. I highly recommend both book and series which is best read in order. But, if you don't want to read all of the books, at least read the previous two in this particular "trilogy" as the entire series is made up of trilogies and a couple quartets.

[Danielle Urban · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Unknown by Heather Graham is another fantastic paranormal mystery read. I enjoyed the unknown of what was happening and by whom. The suspect or number of suspects was also unknown. The characters, a Krewe of Hunter member sent to investigate the strange case, and the woman who is lead into another dangerous situation yet saves another family once more. Then, there is the woman's dead grandmother who pops up at weird times and is a firecracker. Someone is setting homes on fires. Homes that have the perfect average family that have not done anything wrong. Both times the families are saved by the woman. However, two bodies have been found burnt to a crisp. The banters are fun and engaging. The plot is filled with suspense, intrigue, and hope. The novel has a police procedure format but with more intensity. It is both a romantic suspense and paranormal mystery. The combinations make it a perfect read. Heather Graham writes well enough that I was hooked after reading the first few pages!

[Veronica · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was intrigued that from the male POV we’ll have a Ryder who’s been with us the last two novels. However, he never hinted at being able to see ghost when paired up with Krewe agent. I was hoping this - his history of this gift - would be explained, but it never unfolded.

I was surprised at Sheriff Patterson jumping quickly to the thoughts of medical stocks and feeling as though Ryder was accusing him of being the money man. I thought it too, even think he’s the owner of the museum (not true! Byron Mitchell and Sheriff Patterson are not the same person. My instincts were incorrect). But it seemed suspicious of Sheriff Patterson to be jumping to conclusions, but maybe he has all the details from Ryder too?

There's a line in the epilogue that reads "giving Artie the chance to alert his parents." I don't think that is correct. I don't believe Artie's parents are the Harrison's and Lori his cousin. I could be wrong as there are so many characters and relations that is was a little hard to keep them all straight.

Sienna has seen ghost since her grandmother died. That same day she saved a mother and child from a burning house. Ever since her grandmothers ghost has stuck around looking out for her. More than ten years pass and again her grandmother warns her of a fire nearby. This puts Sienna under a spotlight when police suspect arson. Detective Ryder is about to transition from NOPD to the FBI but first this will be his last local case. He quickly learns that he and Sienna share a special ability and asks for help to solve this mystery. Ryder is sure the first fire Sienna was involved in is connects to this recent one, but what connects them? With some help from the local ghost Ryder and Sienna look for the truth & grow closer in a very short time. Sienna hates to imagine that someone she knows & trust might be involved but it ends up being true. Money and greed are the motives here and they drive people to the extreme. Luckily the people responsible are caught and Sienna decides to go with Ryder to DC.
Three books, connected and all based in New Orleans. The city where the Krewe began.

I received this ARC by the publisher in exchanged for an honest review. Graham gives us Detective Ryder Stapleton's story in which he is asked to look into a suspicious fire before he goes into training for the Krewe of Hunters, the elite FBI paranormal team run by Adam Harrison. During this investigation he meets Sienna Murray who woke up her neighbors, so that they could escape from the fire. Ryder believes that Sienna knows more than she is telling, so he keeps on going back to her with questions. During this investigation he starts to have feelings about Sienna and their future. Ryder and Krewe of Hunters think that one of Sienna's friends might have something to do with the fire and the attempted killing of the Neighbor. Read to find out if Sienna and Ryder solve this mystery and if they have a future together.

[Lorraine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this story, however the format is getting old. A police detective is put on a case. He meets a woman implicated in the situation police detective is investigating. One or both of the characters can see and talk to ghosts. Neither have told the other of their abilities. As the story progresses the FBI Krew is called in to assist with the investigation. By end of story the police detective has enrolled in FBI Quantico.
In this case the story takes place ten years after the heroine had saved a family from a house fire. Her grandmother sent her as there was a baby who may burn. Coincidence maybe, but the house next door goes up in fire. Ghost of Grandma sends her granddaughter to save the family. As ever, we do not discover who is the bad guy till the very end of the story. I don't think I 'll be buying another Krew novel, but I will borrow from library.

good

Another addition to the Krewe series, sees New Orleans Detective Ryder investigating an arson. Ryder knows there is something odd about it, and he is immediately suspicious when he meets Sienna- the woman who warned the family living in the house.
With the help of a ghostly granny, and a cast of suspicious characters, Ryder and Sienna work hard to uncover a murderous plot, and make sure that Sienna isn’t targeted herself!

We don’t get to see many cameos in this book, just the hero from the previous book, a fleeting glimpse of the characters from book 33, and Angela on the phone doing her computer thing!
Only Sienna’s Granny K is the helpful ghost for this one - all the other are brief appearances.
That being said, it’s still an enjoyable, escapist read, perfect for those who like romantic suspense and paranormal romance.
