Miracle Mountain (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #20) by J.L Bryan

      During the gold rush, prospectors came to Miracle Mountain in northern Georgia, looking for their fortune in the local waterways. Legend tells of a mysterious event, of a girl falling to her death from the local waterfall and miraculously coming back to life the next day. Tourists now come to this legendary location looking for a miracle of their own. Nearby is a rustic historical inn that welcomes visitors looking for their own miracle and a glimpse of the local ghost Freija. Ellie and her team are called in to help the owners get rid of the malevolent spirits that are scaring away business.      I love this entire book; I swear every time it gets scarier as the series goes on!

  This book is perfect for lovers of any of Sarah J Maas’ work, especially the Throne of Glass Series. Following the story of Lou, a Dame Blache, who is running from her previous life and trying to make a way in a world where witches burn. She senses trouble when witches make a move to attack the King in a public setting and she needs to hide. But not before bumping into the Archbishops military force against all types of magical creatures because they are considered unnatural. Where we meet Reid, the Archbishops golden boy and captain of the Chasseurs, who thinks nothing of her running from the scene in the square. Until their paths meet again at a political figures’ house during a robbery and he’s taken aback by her ability to narrowly escape. When they serendipitously bump into each other for a third time, a public scene is made, and the Archbishop forces them (a witch and a witch hunter) into marriage. Having to hide who she is from her husband, the entire world, all while tr...
