Deadly Night (The Flynn Brothers Trilogy, 1)

Deadly Night... GREAT, as expected! I couldn't put the book down, and within a week read all 3 in the "Deadly" trilogy. You can't beat Heather Graham... (unless she's writing as Shannon Drake!)

I found this paranormal romance to be very interesting and exciting. There were times when I was a little scared while reading, and definately in suspense about what would happen next. The romance between Aiden and Kendall was straight forward and sweet. The history of the house and what had happened there also grabbed my attention. I didn't know "who done it" until the very end. The author kept me guessing. I read this book very quickly and enjoyed it very much. I plan on reading the rest of the trilogy. I enjoy Heather Graham's paranormal romances!

Loved it! Has all of my favorite things, ghosts, plantation, voodoo, mystery and romance. Didn't want to put it down. Can't wait to read next two in series.

When you read a book and everything you read is part of the story, that's a good book. This ghostly book is so well written that maybe you would have nightmares... just kidding. But the plot will keep you wanting to know what will happen next and that's what a good writer should do.

This is the first novel of the prolific Heather Graham that I have read and it is book one in a trilogy about the Flynn Brothers. They have inherited an old plantation house in New Orleans from an aunt they did not even know existed. The oldest, Aiden, is a former FBI agent who left the agency after the death of his wife. His introduction to the Big Easy is an unnerving one. While walking along the muddy banks of the Mississippi he finds a human thigh bone with pieces of flesh clinging to it. He imagines the coroner will be interested in such a find, but not so. Aiden is remind in no uncertain terms that not long before, right after Katrina, bones and bodies could be found everywhere. His find means nothing. Or does it? Until the death of Amelia Flynn, Kendall Montgomery had cared for the elderly lady who had spent her entire life at the plantation. This is where she wanted to die. Kendall was with her to the very end. The old house had it's legendary ghosts although Kendall thought such things nonsense. This despite the fact that she runs a small tea shop in town where she and her 2 employees Vinnie and Mason offer tarot card readings, claiming to clients that they can connect to the spirit world. It's all pretend on their part. When the Flynn brothers arrive at the plantation house Kendall is making sure she has removed all of her possessions. As she was leaving through the doorway they meet. She finds Aiden to be rude, but the other two brothers, Jeremy and Zachery are quite pleasant company. The brothers have formed their own private investigation agency. One case in particular dominates Aiden's thoughts, the disappearance of a young teen. He fears she is dead and perhaps the victim of a serial killer. Kendall's skepticism about the paranormal starts to change. While giving a tarot card reading the skeleton on the Death card comes to life, or so it looks to her. She has dreams of Amilia who warns her of an evil that stalks New Orleans and Kendall is a particular target. A series of frightening events bring Aiden and Amelia together; at first reluctantly and later much more agreeably . This suspenseful paranormal mystery has plenty of chilling moments and a nice touch of romance.
