I enjoyed it very much
Love this author’s writing ability to place you inside the book with the characters. Want more!!
different , held my interest, good to see characters confidence grow and personality change
Good , kept my interest.
When Kester Lanner’s mother dies, she makes a death bed request… She asks him to go to another part of their country and see a Dr. Robero. He does so and finds himself in a strange house and meets a wonderful group of people. He learns they are ghost hunters who capture things that haunt people. If you liked “Ghost Busters”, you will love this book. If you like unconventional mystery, there are parts of the book you can’t put down. If you believe in hauntings, this is the book for you…The ending makes you want to read the sequel and see what these characters will do next…
Loved the first two but I am puzzled by the site indicating a third book that seems to have vanished.
I’m glad my Kindle has a built in dictionary as I came across some words I had no idea what they meant. But that is an advantage of reading books that stretch the vocabulary. The story itself was cute with characters very British. There were parts that got a little wordy and rambled. At times I just wanted to shout, “just get on with it!”
Nice read for a lazy day at home…

Interesting story line. Virtually no typos or other errors! Not badly written, held my interest.
It was very enjoyable. It was easy to read and the plot line was great. Can’t wait to read book 2
Cozy curl up on rain Arizona day
Looking forward to more
fun, kind of a harry potter type story
I could hardly put this book down! The nerdy main character in this book finds that his quiet mother had a whole other side to her personality as a paranormal investigator with an amazing talent, one that he inherited. The cast of characters and the twisting storyline made this book one that I could not put down!
Certainly a very different kind of ghost story.
Clever read. I enjoyed the character development as it really led the story down a very fun path.
Very slow. I just couldn’t get into it.
Enjoyable read
I am not normally into this genre, but read this book through.
New questions popping up kept my interest.
I recommend this book to those who are into the supernatural.
Reminiscent of Harry Potter. The main character begins a new journey in life not knowing of his relationship to supernatural gifts. Some characters were likeable, others not (just like real life).
