Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #1)

 


""You don't understand, Mercy," I said. "You're dead, you died--" 

A howling shriek hit me right in the brain. The ghost charged me, her misty face distorted and distending as she put on speed, her empty eye sockets and mouth hole stretching to inhumane shapes."


    Set in Savannah, Georgia, Ellie Jordan's job is anything but normal. Her job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts, but also act as a private detective. Delving into the past of the family, house, property, and even items inside the home. Ellie surveys every family that contacts her to see if there is a true haunting. In this story Ellie surveys a family that contacted her to deal with a restless presence in their historical mansion that is undergoing construction. Ellie is joined by her unwanted coworkers- Stacey and Jacob, a psychic. The team manages to get one ghost out of the house, the one that was targeting the young daughter, only to discover there were many many more dangerous ghosts in the mansion. 

    I found this entire book and the characters to be absolutely lovable and so differently. It was a joy reading this, and honestly it was really spooky. Ellie is a brave, strong headed, independent woman who has a lot to prove and is eager to save those who can't save themselves. All the characters are unique and have their own quirks and I think that is what will male them a great team going forward. 

    I was on a patient 1:1 where I was able to read and I devoured this book shortly into my 12 hour shift. Shamelessly I admit I read all three books that are bundled in the same 12 hour shift.

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! Ellie and Jordan come to the Highwater Inn to help rid of the malevolent ghosts but are told to steer clear of the friendly welcoming ones. The owner Willow, who claims to be a spiritualist, is trying to contact the dead and even goes as far as to welcome them into the inn. Wi...

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

 Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.      LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully  written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately  needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe.       ...

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. I just want to open this up with saying how much I absolutely hate the new owners PSI, and Kara the Russian woman overseeing everything. she is extremely in touch with the paranormal and has a f...
