- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love a good murder mystery!
This one was suspenseful and intriguing at the same time. There's a bit of the supernatural in it as well. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed the story and the characters. The story moves along at a good pace. I like the setting surrounding the mystery.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Flynn brothers 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?
"Deadly Night" is well-balanced with an air of mystery, romance, paranormal and family all wrapped into a great novel. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Deadly Night is billed as the first book in the Flynn Brothers trilogy. Said brothers are Aidan, Jeremy, and Zachary. This is Aidan's book, so he gets to be our romantic lead.All of the brothers are together in a private investigator business. See chapter one for the reason each left his law enforcement job. They're all tragic, but Aidan's is the only personal tragedy: the death of his beloved wife, Serena. It's been five years, and he's still grim. The brothers are the last of their line. Although they've all been to New Orleans before, this time a great-aunt they never knew existed has died and left them the family plantation. The Flynn Plantation has a reputation for being haunted. We learn about an 1863 family tragedy in the prologue. The event has been misinterpreted since then -- can the record ever be set straight? Kendall Montgomery is our green-eyed, fiery red-haired heroine. Amelia Flynn helped her when she was younger and needed it. Kendall repaid that favor with love and loyalty, caring for the old woman in her last illness until she died in the same room in which she'd been born. Kendall also loves the plantation, but doesn't have the money to buy it even if Jeremy and Zachary hadn't persuaded Aidan that it should be restored, not sold.Kendall gave up her dream of being a singer to major in psychology, then buy a shop. At Tea and Tarot, she reads palms and tea leaves as well as Tarot cards. Her employee and friend, Mason Adler, also majored in psychology and does the same readings. Kendall thinks she's a fake, looking for rational reasons for the things she sees that she shouldn't be able to see.Aidan is far more skeptical than Kendall, but he may have a touch of the psychic in him. Certainly he's not willing to settle for the post-Katrina reasons he's given for finding two human bones on the grounds. Dr. Abel, the medical examiner, really, really doesn't think those bones are a priority, but the former FBI agent won't give up.Will there be ghosts? Yes. Is there an unsuspected serial killer at work? Aidan thinks so. Will he be proven correct? Will he overcome the very bad first and second impressions he makes on beautiful Kendall? The New Orleans setting is good, the haunted plantation interesting, and the romance not bad. I plan to check out book two.Cat lovers, Kendall has a very large black Persian named Jezebel.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Deadly Night was exactly what you would expect from this writer in this genre. Nothing less, but not really anything more either. I enjoyed the read, but I also found it fairly predictable and flat. Very little leapt out at me as especially exciting or well crafted, though nothing clanged to the floor as particularly mind-numbingly boring either. The author threw out a few red herrings in the form of Aiden's suspicions, but you just knew the real killer wasn't going to be revealed until the climax. The romance wasn't insta-love, but once it was understood that they would be involved it moved straight to soulmate territory, with no real in-between time. Neither Aiden or Kendall resonated strongly with me, but I didn't hate them. I liked her friends and his brothers, but I didn't love them. Even the city, New Orleans, with all of it's history and mystery came across as little more than any other town, maybe even any other small town. I didn't feel it's atmosphere. All in all, it passed the time and I wouldn't call it a dud, but it's not topping my favourites list either.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was ok. The second half of the book had me sitting on the edge of my seat, the drama was intense. But the ending was too neat, wrapped up too easily, it felt like a formula book. I liked the basic story , loved the New Orleans ghost story just not sure I enjoy this authors style enough to continue with the other two books. Something was missing, I not sure what.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5**Spoiler Alert** This is about three brothers who inherit a haunted plantation house from an aunt in the Louisiana bayou.With ghost tales & a hungry serial killer milling about, there are plenty of things to keep the Flynn brothers busy. This is book 1 of 3.I really enjoyed this haunting Halloween book. At first, it was hard for me to get into, but once I did, I ran with it. I was first disappointed there was a romantic aspect between the two main characters. Only because it's October, I wanted a good horror novel, but the romance was only the back story, so it didn't really bother me. The romance worked, Heck, everything in this book works.I'd recommend this book anytime of the year, but especially now....with it being October. :))I'd excited to read the rest of the Flynn brothers trilogy, & read more of Heather Graham's writing. :)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While not one of Graham's best books, this is a solid, satisfying romance/suspense. The characters were surprisingly rounded, if the heroine did cave a bit too early for my liking. The ghost story portion and mystery were paced nicely and kept my attention. Overall I found it to be a pleasant, intriguing mystery with an excellent love story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really wanted to love this book. The idea of the book was right up my alley and I do enjoy series. But this book really bored me. I find it hard to put into words why exactly...just did.With much internal debate I decided I will ,however, continue on with the next in hopes that it improves.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first book that I am going to review is Deadly Night by Heather Graham and is the 1st book in her Flynn brothers trilogy. Graham was a new to me author that I found scanning the web and I picked this book out of the many she has written using Fantastic Fiction (I love that website!). Deadly Night introduces us to the three Flynn brothers with Aiden being the main focus of the story. Basically, the brothers learn that they have inherited a plantation in New Orleans from an unknown family member. While trying to figure out what to do with the historical house, Aiden finds out that there are mysterious things going on with the house and meets Kendall who is a fortune-teller. The two get involved in the mystery surrounding the house and the story goes from there. My thoughts on this one are going to be short and sweet as it has been awhile since I read it. I liked it (but didn't love it) and was interested enough to want to continue on with the trilogy and read more of this author's books. I liked the supernatural aspects that were included throughout the story and felt that it made it less like a typical romantic suspense novel. It didn't always flow well for me but it was a suspenseful page turner and I ended up enjoying it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Heather Graham has failed to impress me over the last few years, but the premise of her books is always so good that I keep coming back. She surprised me and wowed me with this one! I loved the New Orleans setting, the ghosts, the voodoo...all of it was very eerie and suspenseful. It wasn't dripping in romance, and the heroine wasn't a foolish helpless woman waiting for a man to rescue her. First in the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Superb! “Deadly Night” was an excellent paranormal thriller that kept you at the edge of your seat wanting more. The love story also helped too. It was a great find for me, and I will unquestionably read the next two books in the Flynn Brothers Trilogy. I would recommend this to all readers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After he and his brothers inherit a New Orleans plantation, Aidan Flynn, a private investigator, delves into the dark history of his new home, with the help of a beautiful tarot card reader, when he stumbles upon human bones.This was romantic, suspenseful, with a little paranormal thrown in. Very entertaining. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story of these 3 by the book former cops being asked to believe in something they cannot explain was great. I think this is how most of us feel about understanding the supernatural.
