The Keeper by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #8)


 "Sooner or later, each of us reaches that point where the evil ghost that's been stalking me since childhood is trying to murder everyone we care about"

    The south channel lighthouse is an abandoned crumbling historical building at the mouth of the Savannah River. Stories tell of the woman in white who often stood at the top of the lighthouse, watching the sailors coming into port and waving them off and ensures their safe travels. She is still seen years after her death. The property is now owned by a famous movie star with local ties to Tybee Island. The old ghosts of the river and lighthouse are in full force because of the construction of a new mansion connected to the lighthouse cottage. The team with the help of the "Hoff", have to remove the ghosts who are getting increasingly, violent. They're threatening the team, the client and her family, and her personal staff. This latest installment dives into the dark history of the lighthouse, its ghosts, and the turns along the way.

    Not only is this case on the island, but they are also trying to find the location of Anton Clay. Leading them to the historic theater in downtown Savannah where Ellie comes face to face with the spirit of a murderous magician. I am obsessed with everything that is happening in this book and how the stories and truth of the spirits are slowly revealed throughout the story. Ellie's new secret weapon of being able to astral project comes in handy with this case, but it is also a hinderance at times. Hand down something I would not want to read at night, even reading it during the day I found myself looking over my shoulder.

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.       ...

The Trailwalker (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #13) by J.L Bryan

  "Why would teenage boys go out on a boat in a storm" Stacey wondered. "Well, now that I say it aloud, it kinda answers itself"           The team is brough to an old campground that is full of local legend. It is next to the mysterious mounds of a vanished people and once a summer camp for children before it was abruptly shut down due to mysterious deaths. The Conner family moved from the city, to create a space for children in need. They're on a deadline and the construction in the camp is stirring up the spirits of the grounds and woods. Between the deaths within the camp, Josh Conner's inability to accept the paranormal, and an old Indigenous legend of the Trailwalker, there is no shortage of possibilities. One thing remains the same though, t hese spirits are mainly targeting the Conner kids. Ellie and the team have to dig into this campground's rich history and determine what or who is threatening the family. Or else they may be forced to give u...
