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?"
