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 Whisper Man by Alex North

"If you leave a door half open, soon you'll hear the whispers spoken. If you play outside alone, soon you won't be going home. If your window's left unlatched, you'll hear him tapping at the glass. If you're lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you." After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy and his son Jake get a fresh start in a Featherbank by purchasing a new home. Unbeknownst to him, Featherbank has a terrible past.

As soon as they moved into their new home, another young boy was abducted in a way very similar to the whisper man and Jake begins hearing whispers at his window. Detectives Pete Willis and Amanda Beck are trying their best to find the boy before it's too late. Even visiting Frank Carter, the original whisper man, i...
