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!

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...
