The Monster Museum
Ellie Jordan: Ghost Trapper #10
by J. L. Bryan
Genre: Horror / Paranormal
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.
The first book is free right now.

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
I didn’t know about the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper series. Thanks for telling us about The Monster Museum.
I’m addicted to this series! LOL
I had no idea that this series is up at book ten. It’s great when you can still enjoy a series that keeps up the standards.
Even when some aren’t as scary, I still love reading what is happening in the lives of the characters. There’s more to come and I couldn’t be happier:)
More Ellie Jordan. Great review. I know you love this series.
sherry @ fundinmental
I hope you read these, Sherry. Tough girl Ellie reminds me of you! LOL
OMG creepy indeed Laura!
I love this series and the characters. Been through a lot with them and enjoyed watching them grow and change. And I’m always ready for the next book!
This series sounds so good I’ve downloaded the first one (Kindle eBook on Amazon) which is FREE.
Yeah! It’s permafree and I can’t believe I forgot to mention that! I think you’ll love this series, Kathryn.
I’ve never heard of this series before, but it sounds great. I love that there are so many books in it.
I sure hope you grab the free first book and give it a try. You might become addicted though. LOL
I love Ellie Jordan!! And I agree, I hope she and Michael get back together. How about that cliffhanger though? It was insane! I can’t wait to read the next book!
It was one doozie of a cliff hanger. I don’t mind. Jeff gets his books out fairly quickly.
This is a series that I have been meaning to try for some time now. Love seeing that it is still a favorite and compelling read this far into the series.
It keeps on giving me what I want!
Love your review 😉
Thanks. It’s always easy to write the reviews for this series. The hard part is not going on and on!
I have the first one in this series – maybe I’ll get to it someday!
I adore this series and always jump on each new one!
I am reading this one now. I love this series. It gets more twisted and creepy with each outing. I thought The Tower was brilliant.
The Tower was especially dark and creepy. I’m so hooked on this series and the characters!
This sounds more dark and creepy and not quite horror. I might be able to read this. It looks like it’s one you loved. Anne – Books of My Heart
