My Review

Ellie never does an investigation by herself. That’s the number one rule. She tells herself she’s only going to go and see what the deal is. Do some research. Maybe set up some equipment. And wait for the rest of her team. But there isn’t enough time to wait. Seriously bad stuff is occurring at  Dr. Weirdman’s Mountain Museum of Monsters, Curiosities, and Ancient Mysteries. Young ones are caught in the middle. They’ll all need lady luck on their side to make it through this alive.

I’ve been reading this series from the beginning and it never gets old. Ellie is my hero. She knows what’s out there, lurking unseen, waiting to harm the innocent. It’s her job to stop that from happening. People she loves have been hurt, and she’s got enough baggage to slow down a speeding train. But, she never hesitates to help someone in need.

Something I’ve been hoping for just might happen this time. Ellie used to have a significant other until he was possessed by an evil entity and she almost had to kill him. It seems he’s ready to talk, but she’s got a lot of guilt. Still loving him doesn’t mean she’s ready to let him back into her life. Who says it will ever be safe to care about someone that much again. Her life and that of those around her will always be at risk as long as she keeps doing what she does. I’d love for Ellie to have love in her life again.

One seriously creepy lizard thing creeps through the dark hallways. Stranger and stranger events happen. The suspense builds. I quickly devour every sentence, until I reach the end and immediately start thinking about what the next book might bring.

As long as the author keeps writing this series, I’ll surely keep reading it.

Synopsis

Just outside the small but colorful mountain resort town of Foxboro, Tennessee lies Dr. Weirdman’s Mountain Museum of Monsters, Curiosities, and Ancient Mysteries. Once a major tourist attraction, it offers travelers the amusement of touring unusual underground caves and pseudo-scientific exhibits ranging from strange creatures to the supposed artifacts of lost civilizations.

Now the museum is a crumbling relic of an older age, fallen into disrepair. Its longtime owner has died, leaving it in the hands of a younger distant relative who knows nothing of how to run a failing tourist trap of a museum, but who is desperate to make a living and provide for his own children.

The museum has a serious ghost problem, though, and Ellie Jordan is called in from Savannah to help. An unexpected old friend joins Ellie at the last moment so that they can spend a snow-filled Christmas together in the mountains…if the ghosts of the restless dead don’t turn the holidays into a horrific tragedy.

Some chit chat.

Isn’t it supposed to be fall? You wouldn’t know it where I’m at. The temps are still close to 90s and I’m loving it. The pecan trees are dropping their leaves and starting to look a bit bare but everything else is green and still growing. The pool is delicious at around 87 degrees and I try to get in and swim every day until it gets too cold.

I noticed Christmas decorations in several stores this week. I couldn’t resist picking up an ornament. LOL  This got me turning to my fall and Halloween decorations. I always buy some on sale after the holidays are over and can’t wait to see what I grabbed last year.

Also been reading a lot of scary books for my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills feature this month. Sharing a review each day plus some extra ones will be thrown in for tours I’m participating in.

And I’m watching lots of scary movies and shows too. It surprises me I don’t have more nightmares.  How about you? Do scary books and movies haunt your dreams?

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!
