Gods & Monsters by Shelby Mahurin

Would have to be listed as my least favorite in the series!

Following the loss of one of their own, the entire group is mourning in their own way, but also searching for vengeance. Something has come over Lou, a darkness, which is getting in the way of their journey. Met with characters from previous books they must accomplish what they’ve set out to do, all while finding themselves again and their individual purposes. Hope is a recurring theme in this book. Which is perfect and the only way they’ll be able to rebuild their individual kingdoms and their family.

The synopsis for the book is very short because there would be way too many spoilers if I went any deeper in detail. When I reached the middle of the book, I immediately thought that it could have been separated into two books. That the introduction of the major event after the encounter with Morgane on the beach was such an interesting move, but it felt it could have been a cliffhanger that leads into another book. That being said, I love the continuation of the story and how it plays out from there on. It is so refreshing to see no competition between the main female characters and that they’re equally strong and yet vulnerable in their own ways. The entire group is so well rounded and a perfect family unit. I have to say, I absolutely love Beau. His doting on his new family and how far he’s come from the first book is incredible. I absolutely loved the epilogue; it was exactly what was needed to finish out this wonderful series.

Lullaby by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #7)

"You want to see if you can train the evil singing nursey ghost to...do what? Babysit evil children?" Ellie Jordan's life just got a whole lot more complicated; Calvin sells the company, and the new owners are in town calling all the shots...not to mention Michael is in a coma due to the injuries sustained on one of her last investigations. The new client they are to meet is a pregnant woman who has a ghost that appears in the nursey singing an eerie lullaby. As always, the team discovers there are more ghosts in the house and that one hunts children, and they need to stop them before they try to kill again. All while figuring out where the now dormant Anton Clay is hiding. Once again Bryan just absolutely knocks it out of the park with this new addition.
