Ellie Jordan’s job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia, one of the oldest and most haunted cities in North America.

When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbing presence in the old mansion they’ve recently purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead, she finds herself confronting an evil older and more powerful than she’d ever expected, rooted in the house’s long and sordid history of luxury, sin, and murder. The dangerous entity seems particularly interested in her clients’ ten-year-old daughter.

Soon her own life is in danger, and Ellie must find a way to exorcise the darkness of the house before it can kill her, her clients, or their frightened young child.

Hooray for awesome ghost stories. I feel like I’m on a roll finding all these awesome reads for my favorite holiday, Halloween.

Plot: If you love Ghost Hunters (the tv show) then you will love this story. I honestly felt like I was in a mix of Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Witness. These are shows I like to binge watch on Netflix. This story follows Ellie who traps ghost for a living. She visits this really haunted house to only discover that is dealing with something a lot darker than what she suspected. The plot is nicely paced with great action.

Ghosts/History: I really loved how detailed these parts of the story were. I love to follow Ellie, break into abandoned haunted places and find answers. The searching at the the library, finding old photos, all felt like I was on a mission myself. The history of the ghosts and what really happened is really neat.

Ending: The ending is nicely written with a few minor changes to the story. I’m certainly interested in the young psychic who can see the ghost. I think he adds a great element to the story. I’m anxious to see what he will bring in Ellie’s life. Maybe a love interest? Well see. The extra changes at the end of the story only make the story much more fulfilling, leaving the door open for more stories.

Verdict: I want more! I can’t wait to go on more adventures with Ellie and her crew. Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper is an compelling  yet excellent story. Engaging the readers from the first page, Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper is an success!

I give it 5 BITES!

    Sounds great. It is hard to find the good indie books since most bloggers don’t focus on self published. I might have to check this one out.

    Ooo, I love good ghost stories! 5 stars for a self-pubbed book is awesome, too.
