About This Book

In a sun-soaked Florida Keys setting where history and the supernatural press uncomfortably close to the present, The Cursed follows Hannah O'Brien — a woman whose lifelong gift for seeing the dead becomes both a burden and a lifeline when a murder victim arrives at her door asking for justice. The stakes are immediate: a killer connected to a dangerous smuggling ring, a curse rooted in shipwreck and betrayal, and two people drawn together by forces neither fully understands. Graham builds tension from the friction between what can be proven and what can only be sensed.

What distinguishes this entry in the Krewe of Hunters series is how confidently Graham braids the procedural and the paranormal without letting either element undercut the other. The pacing is assured — chapters move with purpose, layering a historical mystery beneath the present-day investigation until the two timelines feel genuinely inseparable. The romance earns its place in the story rather than interrupting it. Readers already invested in the Krewe world will find familiar pleasures deepened here, while newcomers will find the Keys atmosphere and dual-timeline structure an inviting way in.
