#BookReview – “Ghost Hunter” by Jayne Castle


Blurb

Where deadly energy ghosts lurk in the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. Where dust bunnies prove to be loyal pets. And where a ghost hunter will discover that a woman’s heart is the most dangerous adversary of all…

Local Guild boss and powerful ghost-hunter Cooper Boone is everything botanist Elly St. Claire could ask for-the handsome, strong, and silent type. Maybe too silent. For when Guild secrets threaten her career at the college, Elly has to call off their marriage-and leave small-town life behind…

But starting over in the thriving metropolis of Cadence City isn’t easy, especially when one of Elly’s new friends disappears in the eerie catacombs beneath the streets. Cooper turns up just in time to help Elly investigate. And as the mystery deepens and dangerous ghost myths and legends come to light, Cooper makes it clear he intends to stick around-and this time he’s holding nothing back.

Review

In the third Harmony series book, botanist Elly St. Clair
breaks off her wedding engagement to her Guild boss fiancé after she finds out
that he was just using her for her family2527s Guild connections. She leaves her
small hometown of Aurora Springs for the bright lights of Cadence City to start
her life over. After her friend Bertha goes missing in the dangerous catacombs
beneath the city, she has no choice but to call in a ghost hunter—her ex—for
help. Despite the pain he2527d caused her, she still trusts Cooper and knows that
he2527ll help her find her friend.
When Elly left, Aurora Springs Guild boss and powerful
ghost hunter Cooper Boone realized he2527d made a terrible mistake. He didn2527t use
Elly for her connections, but he didn2527t tell her that. After six months apart,
he decides to win her back, but the shy woman he2527d fallen in love with has
blossomed into a kickass woman. Cooper2527s planned courtship and seduction soon takes
a drastic turn, but draws him closer to Elly than he2527d ever expected.
I really enjoyed this book. Elly and Cooper are wonderful
characters. They2527re both strong, stubborn, and determined to protect each
other. Elly was completely right to leave Cooper for his transgressions, but
they were both to blame for the lack of communication. Cooper had a lot of
secrets that he didn2527t think Elly would be able to handle. Once he2527d realized
she wasn2527t the fragile type, he started to confide in her, and their tense
relationship bloomed into something strong and beautiful. All in all, they just
needed time apart to figure out what mattered most to them.
The side characters were great. Lydia and Emmett from the
previous two books made an appearance. Mercer Wyatt, the Cadence Guild boss,
was mentioned a few times but never showed up on page. Elly2527s friends, Bertha
and Doreen, were great additions. The best characters in this series are the
dust bunnies. On the alien world of Harmony, there are little fuzzy animals
with two sets of eyes and six arms and legs. They2527re loyal companions and have
a psychic connection with the people they claim for themselves. Rose is Elly2527s
dust bunny, and she2527s soooo adorable with her jewelry fetish.
I totally didn2527t expect the twist at the end. I thought I
knew who the villain was, but I turned out to be wrong. That2527s awesome because
I can usually guess correctly at the beginning of the book.
The story is fast paced and kept my attention. I
definitely recommend it.
