House of Whispers by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #6)

 


""I've never heard of ghosts driving ghost trucks" "Says the girl who recently jumped onboard a ghost train." "That was a psychokinetic visual and tactile apparition pooling energy and traumatic memories from several entities-" "Uh-huh. Ghost train,"" 

    This is hands down the scariest book in the entire series so far! It takes place in the Lathrop Grand Hotel in Savannah, a hotel that has been open for more than a century and a half. Knowingly haunted, it's a local favorite for drawing tourists. Being so old this hotel is known for all the hidden entrances and passageways, allowing staff to be invisible to the guests in attendance. Ellie and her team are called into the hotel because the spirits have turned violent, killing a construction worker who was working on the third floor. In this, they uncover nineteenth century murders that were turned into legends and the powerful spirits that don't want to leave without a fight. 

    Filled with creepy ghosts, wounded civil war soldiers lining the wall, and a supernatural cult, this book has it all. It's an easy book to read and it goes so quickly, I finished it in only a matter of hours. The final twist in the book was very creepy and honestly scared me more than anything. If you've ever seen civil war battlefield pictures, it is very haunting. So, imagining all of these poor soldiers becoming monstrosities it turns my stomach. Wish there was more interaction with Michael though, I love their budding romance! 

"I can't wait to hike around the mountains looking for old bones," Stacey said. "Can we do it at midnight under a full moon on Friday the 13th?"

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.       ...
