Maze of Souls by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #6)

"Don't you love fall?" Stacey asked. "All the little festivals, the changing leaves, kids in Halloween costumes, the dead spewing up out of the graves to haunt the living..."

This case leads us to Pine Hollow Farm, an old time family farm that has all the fall activities one could want, including a 'haunted' hayride through the woods past an eighteenth-century cemetery and a corn maze. A local legend, the ghost of a horseman that has ridden through the same dirt road through the woods, along with other ghosts who are threatening visitors and the family. Ellie and Stacey travel to the farm to discover the truth behind these spirits and are racing against time as Halloween approaches.

I absolutely love this series so any new addition to it just makes my day! The danger and the spook factor of this book was off the charts. Between the ghosts, the ones in the woods and the one who crawls up the stairs in a pool of her own blood just blew me away. The worst part though was the children involved and the one daughter that played such a huge role in the end. I will NEVER get over Michael being possessed by Anton Clay, Ellie's own personal ghost stalker who killed her parents. Almost burning Ellie, Stacey, Michael, and the client's daughter alive...only to be saved by the horseman's ghost. Leaving Michael in a coma and Ellie feeling like she is the only reason he is in this situation.

The Hidden Letters by Lorna Cook

"It's people like your brother and me, being handed a weapon and told to kill someone we don't even know, who we'd probably get along with in everyday life. And all because someone in a gilded throne or behind a big desk decides that's what we have to do." On the brink of World War One, a forbidden romance is blooming between debutante Cordelia and the landscape architect Issac. Cordelia finds herself intrigued with learning how to cultivate the garden in preparation for when the men are called away to war. Issac, of course, teaches her in private and their forbidden love story began. Cordelia's parents find out and her mother is absolutely horrified to find her daughter digging in dirt, but reluctantly agree to let her continue her work. Even going as far as coming up with the idea to expand their garden to aid the estate and surrounding areas. Issac continues to teach her through letters when he is on the battlefield, but their correspond...

Finna by Nino Cipri (LitenVerse #1)

" It explores queer relationships and queer feelings, capitalism, and accountability, labor and love, all with a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange." This delightful multiverse sci-fi story is absolutely incredible. This universe there is a knock off Ikea prone to spontaneous wormholes and customers get lost or eaten in. Which is exactly what happens, except it is up to two employees who had just broken up to go inside the wormhole and track down the customer or the closest thing to them. This was such a wonderful read and perfect for finishing in one sitting. I wish there was more in this entire universe, it just seems so much fun, and that the possibilities are endless. I've passed this book to those I love, and I'm so excited for them to get to experience this universe!
