Another great Ghost Hunter mystery by Victoria Laurie. This time finds M.J. back in Georgia and we get a good look into her background and past. The scary ghouls hit early, fast and hard and once again, Laurie brings us into the room with M.J and her crew and you can feel the action and cut the tension with a knife.
But this investigation hits very close to home for M.J. and I found this book much darker than her others. It's personal this time, very personal, and some nasty, dark and heartbreaking truths come to light.
We get to meet Gilly's mom and understand M.J.'s relationship with her dad and makes for one of my favorites in the series so far.

M. J. Holliday with her boyfriend Heath and best friend Gilley goes back to Valdosta, Georgia to visit her Father Montgomery Holliday and meet his fiancee Christine Bigelow. When they arrive they find that Christine is having problems at the antebellum mansion she recently purchased and having renovated. Strange accidents are happening and workers are walking off the job. Word is going around that the place is cursed. M. J. and her crew agree to find out what is going on and sets off to spend the night at the mansion. Almost imminently things start to happen and M.J., Heath and Gilley are forced to rescue themselves.
I read this book in one day, just could not put down. I am pleased to get to know M.J.'s background and family, it gives her more credibility into why she is the way she is.

I enjoy the MJ stories, but I still find it surprising how often they run into a spook that is too tough for them to handle. Also, she uses ghoul interchangeably with ghost. I always thought a ghoul was a more material monster that fed on human flesh, often digging up fresh graves, or even a live human that fed on dead human flesh. I enjoyed this book anyway.
