Publisher's summary

1800s. San Antonio, Texas: In room 207 at the Longhorn Saloon, in the long shadow of the Alamo itself, a woman renowned for her beauty was brutally murdered. Her killer was never found.

One year ago: In that same historic room, another woman vanished without a trace. Her blood was everywhere... but her body was never recovered. Now: In the last month, San Antonio has become a dumping ground for battered bodies. All young women, many of them long missing, almost all forgotten. Until now.

Texas Ranger Logan Raintree cannot sit by and let his city’s most vulnerable citizens be slain. So when he is approached to lead a brand-new group of elite paranormal investigators working the case, he has no choice but to accept the challenge. And with it, his powerful ability to commune with the dead. Among Logan’s new team is Kelsey O’Brien, a U.S. marshal known for her razor-sharp intuition and a toughness that belies her delicate exterior. Kelsey has been waiting all her life to work with someone who can understand her ability to “see” the past unfolding in the present. Now she has her chance.

Together, Kelsey and Logan follow their instincts to the Alamo and to the newly reopened Longhorn, which once tempted heroes with drink, cards and women. If the spirits of those long-dead Texans are really appearing to the victims before their deaths, only Kelsey and Logan have the skills to find out why. And if something more earthly is menacing the city’s oldest, darkest corners, only they can stop it - before more innocent women join the company of San Antonio’s restless ghosts....

I heart Luke Daniels!!

I have read Heather Graham in the past and this is pretty much what I remember. A decent story, a mystery that throws many suspects at you. The ghost aspect is fun and not overplayed like in other paranormal romance type books. I bought this book primarily because it's narrated by Luke Daniels and I'm a big fan of his. He could read the yellow pages and I'd listen.

It was Good!

Read for Fun!

First thought: I really like the new team :)

What I Thought of the Case: The Unseen is set in San Antonio, TX and as a Native Texan I had to love it! As a history buff, I loved the setting even more. It was centered around The Alamo and the history of a missing diamond. The killings were very much committed by humans but the ghosts were such a HUGE help in figuring it out. I didn't quite figure out who did the grisly murders until about half way through. It was just a guess at that point but it ended up being right. Mysteries are best when they keep you guessing :)

What I Thought of the Characters: The Unseen is the first book with a new Paranormal Investigation team. We do get to see a few characters from the original series but you could start here without missing a beat. I do like the new team almost as much as the old one. I am sure by the end of Book 4 they will be instilled in my heart. The main characters of The Unseen are Logan and Kelsey. They are both law enforcement but of different branches. Their different unique abilities work well together and I love their chemistry. Another great pairing by Heather Graham.

What I Thought of the Audio: Not to sound like a broken record but Luke Daniels did a wonderful job. I recommend this series on audio! Though if you listen to a lot of audios that he does (which I do) then you will notice some re-use of accents. Sometimes that can make you laugh because that will make cross-series characters. Let's just say having Oberon act as some of these characters is hysterical. You quickly though get back into your story with just a little grin!

Final Thought: I like this series and think most romantic mystery readers would too!

Luke is a great story teller.

Wow! What a surprise spin on the killer.
Never would have guessed. Love the ending.

Nothing special

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The primary group of character, who are much more interesting, made an appearance, but that's about it.

What three words best describe Luke Daniels’s performance?

Luke Daniels is an inspired narrator; however, he wasn't given a whole lot to work with.

Mild ghost stories! Love it!

I enjoy Heather Graham mild and very entertain books. I am not of fan of the occult, but her books are very mild and interesting.

the unseen rocked

Would you listen to The Unseen again? Why?

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Unseen?

the description of the alamo and just the general history of the area

What about Luke Daniels???s performance did you like?

he brings the characters to life and no one character sounded the same

If you could take any character from The Unseen out to dinner, who would it be and why?

probably jackson crow he sounds great

Any additional comments?

just that Heather Graham writes a great book and this is diffently one of her best

Good series, good story

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Story evolves well, enjoyed the plot line over my daily commute.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narrator augments the story and has been a welcome repeat performer in the series

Another winner!!

What made the experience of listening to The Unseen the most enjoyable?

The different accents the narrator used........ Awesome!!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot took a few twists that I was not expecting............ just the way I like it!

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

n/a

Who was the most memorable character of The Unseen and why?

n/a as there were more than one that I really liked and am looking foward to the next book with this 'team'..........

Another Heather Graham success!

Would you listen to The Unseen again? Why?

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Unseen. Luke Daniels did a great job reading the characters. As a Texan, I wish his Texans sounded less like Deep South residents, and one of his female characters was more caricature, so there were brief suspensions of belief, but, overall, it was good. I've since had the opportunity to listen to a different reader of Heather Graham's work and I appreciate Luke Daniels MUCH more after that.

Good story

Interesting history, always a pleasure to listen to Luke Daniels. The story was good, slightly predictable, but good nonetheless

Setting up a new Krewe can be difficult

Set in Texas near The Alamo in San Antonio a new team are brought together.

With the help of restless spirit and a lot of luck ( or coincidence) the team need to work out if a series of deaths is the work of a serial killer.

Some old characters as well as some new additions.

I felt that the book was a little flat but I will still be listening to the next in series.
