⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is book nine in the series Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries.

I’ve missed Verity, Ellis, and Frankie! And this one reminded me why I love them so much. Verity is pulled into another ghostly investigation after witnessing the murder of one of her grandmother’s dearest friends. The ghosts at the church and cemetery where it happened seemed to have Verity in their sights, and not in a good way. Meanwhile, Frankie is trying to get hold of his brother to settle a score there. And it seems like all of Verity’s adventures are finally catching up with Ellis, and he is scared that she is in over her head.

Verity is her usual semi-naïve self, wanting to believe the best in people, and ghosts, and just trying to help. We learn more about Frankie, and where he comes from, and that was super interesting. Ellis is in his usual mode as pillar of strength to Verity, but it’s not all smooth-sailing for the two of them.

The plot was very interesting and brought Verity’s and Frankie’s families together in a very unexpected, but delightful way.

Read the whole series in order, if you’re in the mood for a different kind of mystery novel. You will find interesting twists and lots of humor.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? For sure!
