Even though I came to the party late in this series, I completely enjoyed this book. Graham's ability to weave together a compulsively addictive thriller makes VOICE OF FEAR so good. It is smartly plotted and moves at just the right pace.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. Heather Graham Krewe novels are fun a quirky and I like the ghost character of Alfie and how he helps Patrick Law and and Jordan Wallace crack down on sex traffic crimes and wacked criminals in this sex traffic ring. Some of the story is horrific. This is #38 of the Krewe novels. I have some catching up to do! Fun though not high literature.

Suspense
Virginia – Present Day

Sergeant Alfred “Alfie” Parker died while participating in a raid of a master criminals’ operation. The raid consisted of local law enforcement swat teams and the FBI. The massive criminal organization came to Alfie’s attention from a young woman, Susie, who he arrested. At his death, the well-being of Susie was unknown. So, now he stands patiently in the cemetery waiting for Patrick Law, a psychologist/psychiatrist, and a police consultant to meet him. Alfie has a bad feeling that the head of the crime organization is not in prison and is not who they thought it was. Alfie feels sure Susie is still in danger, and now FBI Agent Jordan Wallace, on an undercover operation, may also be in peril.

Patrick Law is no stranger to the strange and unusual, he and his sisters (they are triplets) all have unusual talents. When Patrick meets Alfie in the cemetery and learns of Alfie’s fears, he agrees to help protect Jordan and look for the missing Susie.

Jordan Wallace is the newest agent in the FBI Krewe of Hunters, young, beautiful, and skilled, she is the perfect agent to go undercover to find out why young women have gone missing. From the beginning of the investigation, she believes it ties in with a larger criminal organization, run by “John Smith.” Though the FBI believes “John Smith” is Rory Ayers, and Ayers is already in prison after the raid conducted where Alfie died, others wonder if Ayers is just a bad guy, and not the mastermind.
Things go south when Jordan is abducted, just like the other women. Jordan’s fearlessness and skill allow her to escape her captors, though she wouldn’t have survived if Patrick and Alfie had not shown up just in time. Patrick’s tirade that she was reckless doesn’t sit well with her, even if she barely escaped. The rest of the Krewe is called in and the warehouse where the kidnapped women are being held is raided. The women are rescued, and a multitude of criminals are either killed, wounded, or taken to jail, including a woman who is no stranger to the Krewe.

Once the dust settles, the real investigation begins. The Krewe learns that there are other locations where the loved ones of some working for the organization are held prisoner to keep the hired thugs in line. Who really runs this criminal enterprise, and if it’s Rory Ayers how is he doing it from prison?

Patrick, Jordan, and Alfie along with the rest of the crew start searching for the families while they try to find out who is really pulling the strings. They also wonder if it’s possible that Alfie’s friend Susie is still alive … no one seems to know what happened to her. As the Krewe gets closer to the answers the danger escalates. Patrick and Jordan try to fight their attraction to each other, but it doesn’t work, and while they are struggling to unravel the truth behind “John Smith” and the missing families as well as Susie, Ayers escapes from prison and the stakes get even higher.

A gripping novel of suspense, with paranormal elements, VOICE OF FEAR is a terrific read. I’ve read most of the Krewe of Hunters novels, though not all, yet, and had no problem keeping up with all the names and people involved in the novel. If you haven’t read the Krewe of Hunters series, the relationships and members of the team are explained within the novel so that you won’t be confused. VOICE OF FEAR is about the team, but the core of the story is Patrick, Jordan, and Alfie. If you like exciting, fast-moving suspense you will love this novel. I highly recommend VOICE OF FEAR, and once you have read it, I bet you will go searching for the 37 previous novels. Heather Graham delivers on every level. Enjoy!

I was eager to dive into Voice of Fear by Heather Graham, not just for Patrick Law’s story but to see the case involving human trafficking and those of a cop who is still searching for a victim, even in death.

Sound of Darkness, Aura of Night and Voice of Fear are all novels in the Krewe of Hunters series, but all involve the case surrounding the Embracer and the Law siblings (triplets) who have unique abilities.

This story belongs to Patrick Law, a criminal psychologist and a consultant for the Krewe of Hunters. He helped in the previous novels and this time has his dog, an Irish Wolfhound, with him. We are introduced to FBI Special Agent Jordan Wallace when she is captured by human traffickers while undercover. She is rescued by Patrick and agents after deceased officer Archie alerts him to the danger.

The Krewe is still looking for John Smith, whom they believe is the head of the organization. The tale that unfolds has Patrick and Jordan working together along with the previous couples as they try to interrogate suspects, save victims, and cut off the head of the snake.

As always, Graham delivered plenty of danger and they get into several intense situations. Sparks fly and simmer as these two connect. I devoured the book in two sittings. The romance felt genuine, and I liked both characters; professionally and as individuals. It was great seeing a guy who respected his partner’s abilities and supported her ideas.

The story shed light on human trafficking and the inner workings of some networks. John Smith’s network was disturbing and how he caught people up from crew to victims was chilling.

I was glad to see the case wrap up and get closer to several threads and character lines. I am looking forward to seeing where the Krewe of Hunters goes next.

I finished this book thinking it was OK. It wasn’t great. It wasn’t horrible. It was good. I know this is part of a series that I have not read. A very extensive series. I didn’t feel that it kept me from following the plot at all. I was up to date on everything going on. I did not, however, feel any connection to the characters. I think someone who was more familiar with the whole thing would have enjoyed it more just on that level. I found a few times where I had to really stretch my belief. It is a work of fiction, though. That’s OK.

Number 38 in the Krewe of Hunters series and the third book in the latest trilogy. Great people back and the thread of this mystery continued from the previous two books. The good people succeed and bring down the evil one. This problem is solved.

Another great story in the Krewe Hunter series. I have read them all and highly recommend these paranormal romantic suspense books.

This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher for the electronic copy. A talented and gifted author, Graham has woven a mystery of secrets…intrigue…talented law enforcement…caring friends…murder and mayhem…I don’t especially like the ghostly part, but other than that this is a cannot put down mystery. Enjoy

The Krewe is hunting a violent killer and trafficker who gets people to help him by threatening their families killing anyone who gets in his way. Alfie is there to help them, walking thru walls to scope out situations and sometimes being able to help physically. He can’t rest until he finds Susie, a woman he was trying to help before he was killed. I don’t usually do paranormal books but Heather Graham is the exception. Her books are always entertaining , with suspense, romance and a great cast of characters. This book is part of a series but could easily be read as a stand alone. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I received this ARC From Netgalley and the Harlequin books in exchange for an honest review. This is book 38 in the Krewe of Hunters Series. I have read every one in this series and enjoyed all of them. I really can’t wait for each new novel that Graham puts out in the Krewe of Hunters series. We are introduced to some new characters and go more in-depth with some of Graham’s past characters. These last three books from the series deal with the Law triplets who each possess unusual powers. In “Voice of Fear” we are told the last story of the triplets, Patrick Law, who is a criminal psychologist and a consultant for the Krewe of Hunters. We also meet Jordan Wallace an undercover FBI agent working with the Krewe of Hunters for her ability to see ghosts. The story opens up with Jordan being captured by human traffickers and trying to escape. When she thinks that she will be killed, she hears Patrick and the FBI break in and they rescue her and other women taken to be sold in other countries. This then starts the partnership of Jordan and Patrick trying to hunt down John Smith the leader of this group of human traffickers and the prisoners that they have at different locations. You need to pick up a copy of this story and enjoy the suspense, romance and especially the Krewe of Hunters. Graham doesn’t disappoint in her latest of the Krewe of Hunters!

Thank you NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for my honest exchange. I usually like Heather Graham ‘s books, but I just couldn’t get into this one. For me, I am attracted to the paranormal aspects of her books. There wasn’t enough paranormal for me. However, it is a good story with a lot of action.
