The Monster Museum (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #10) by J.L Bryan

 


    Ellie takes a case in Foxboro, Tennessee, which is a little further than home, during the Christmas season. She goes ahead and takes it while Stacey and Jacob are in Alabama celebrating with her family. The email came in from Dr. Weirdman's Mountain Museum of Monsters, Curiosities, and Ancient Mysteries. A tourist attraction that offered travelers the adventure of a lifetime, the unusual underground caves, "scientific" exhibits, and artifacts from the creators owns adventures. The museum is in less than favorable conditions and the spirits roaming are going after the children of its new owner, a distant relative who has no idea what he's doing and his young children. On top of the case, Michael and Melissa come back into the picture and volunteer to go with Ellie to go to the local Christmas market nearby. This of course leaves Ellie with more anxiety and uncertainty, wanting to keep them away from any ghostly activities after what happened in the corn maze but also wanting to reconnect with Michael and most importantly, Melissa. 

    This book absolutely took me and left me speechless! Also shout out to the hot dad that was definitely crushing on Ellie! This one took such a dark turn, when the twist was revealed at the end of the book it left me questioning everything I knew! I'm glad that the case was resolved but hate that it left Ellie feeling awful about the state she left the clients in. She had no clue that her own ghosts, mentally and physically, would made an appearance at the end of the book in such a tremendous and life altering way. I can't wait for the next book, hopefully everything will finally be resolved!

Lullaby by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #7)

  "You want to see if you can train the evil singing nursey ghost to...do what? Babysit evil children?"     Ellie Jordan's life just got a whole lot more complicated; Calvin sells the company, and the new owners are in town calling all the shots...not to mention Michael is in a coma due to the injuries sustained on one of her last investigations. The new client they are to meet is a pregnant woman who has a ghost that appears in the nursey singing an eerie lullaby. As always, the team discovers there are more ghosts in the house and that one hunts children, and they need to stop them before they try to kill again. All while figuring out where the now dormant Anton Clay is hiding.      Once again Bryan just absolutely knocks it out of the park with this new addition. I just want to open this up with saying how much I absolutely hate the new owners PSI, and Kara the Russian woman overseeing everything. she is extremely in touch with the paranormal and has a few tricks up he
