I discovered this series by Victoria Laurie quite by accident last year when I was searching for paranormal romance novels. Not familiar with her at the time, I checked the first book in the series out from the library... I fell in love with her writing and her characters and the rest is history.
Just when M.J. thought that Gilley had learned his lesson about dumb advertising ideas, she's broadsided. Not only has he been communicating with someone in California about a "psychic" tv show, but he's...more

This is the 3rd installment of Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunter Mysteries. It it by far the best in the series. M.J. has agreed to go on a Tv show in San Fransisco to bust haunted items, like old tea pots and the like. As soon as she arrives at the hotel named "The Duke" (the worlds most haunted hotel) she comes across a fresh murder crime scene. Now she faces many ghosts inside the hotel, who turn out to be good for piecing clues together to solve the crime... as well as a knife that releases a d...more
I love Victoria Laurie's books whether it's Abby Cooper Psychic Eye or M. J. Holliday Ghost Hunter. This is an M. J. book and really scary but fun.
M. J. gets snookered into appearing on a reality show - a haunted Antiques Roadshow - where she and three other psychics will examine objects to see if they are evil or not. She doesn't want to do it, but her best friend/business partner Gil has already signed the contracts. With her boyfriend, Steven, in tow, they fly off to San Francisco to the most...more

This was the third book I've read in this series, and let me just say that now I'm even more afraid of the dark. The problem is that I finally read the back of the book where it says that Victoria Laurie is a practicing psychic medium in real life. Does that mean that the things that happen in her book could possibly be real? Squeak!

But the hotel they are staying at is riddled with ghosts and there is a dagger that seems to be possessed by a demon. People are dying and M.J. needs to figure out who or what is behind it all before she becomes the next victim.

errr the characters in this series drive me INSANE sometimes! in this book i got really annoyed at Gilley with the way he acted in some parts. steven was the least annoying character and i have to say i think im jealous M.J. and want him to myself, lol.

Gil, M.J. and Steve find themselves in a Haunted Hotel with too many ghosts and not enough busters. Giley hooks M.J. on the show called Haunted Possessions much to her dismay. And she meets Heath who seems to be the only other genuine article. The two of them end up ghost busting the hotel and earning money for their troubles. Between possessed mirrors, and a mysterious knife that has a killer mind of it's own. It's up to M.J. and Heath to tackle the situation.

I am on such a roll with the books I have been reading or listening to lately. I like Victoria Laurie and this series a lot anyway, this one increased my respect and diggin'-ness.

M.J. and a few other psychics fly to a hotel in California to star on a reality TV show about haunted possessions. All is well on their last day of filming until an ancient, mysterious knife shows up that just so happens to be owned by a violent demon seeking revenge. M.J. and her crew, along with her new psychic friend Heath, are the only hope in ridding the hotel of the nasty demon before he starts to pick off the hotel guests one-by-one.

I loved it! I've enjoyed this series from the beginning and this installment was fantastic. I liked the change in scenery, I liked the plot, the action, just about everything. I was a little disappointed by one aspect of the reveal, but the rest of it was so good, that I can totally overlook it. (I wanted to know more about someone that played a big part in the mystery. Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you!) There was a new character introduced that I liked very much. It sounds like the author...more
Book 3 in the Ghost Mystery series find MJ, Gilley and Steven heading to San Francisco to appear on a TV show. Although MJ isn't thrilled about it, she agrees. When they get to their hotel, they find a dead woman and a hotel full of ancient ghosts as well as something a lot more evil. Will MJ, with the help of her team and another medium named Heath, be able to solve the mystery surrounding the hotel and help all of its ghosts cross over before it's too late? A quick, fun and witty read. Great f...more
I actually started the first book and closed it by accident and somehow ended up reading the third book in this series. Basically that was not a problem as there was nothing mentioned from previous books that I could not follow.
Anyways...this book was good but it seemed to go in a circle of ghostbusting upstairs or downstairs and all the floors in between. The characters are enjoyable enough but I'm not sure if it is just this overall storyline of ghostbusting that does not jump out to me. I am...more

I have burned through two of the Laurie books in rapid succession. The initial book (What's a Ghoul to do?) is good. This one is better, which is the way it should be as characters develop. We've got a second psychic on board who has credibility and Gilly, the gay business manager, is starting to get both a bit of spine and a bit of credibility in getting paying jobs. The main characters are further developed (MJ, Gilly and Stephen) and now we're seeing that this series is going to have a long t...more
HOORAY!! Victoria Laurie has finally done it! This book was spooky, chilling and downright scary! When Gilley signs MJ up to film a cable TV show on haunted household stuff, they show up to the San Francisco hotel for the shoot, and a whole lot more! Some of the most hilarious dialogue yet, great new characters to the series, an uncontrollable force that even gives MJ a run for her money and this book has brought the series beyond Scooby Doo and at least into the leagues of one of my favorite sh...more
Warning: spoilers
What I learned: when being attacked by a demon, run to the kitchen and turn on the microwave and then start throwing the refrigerator magnets.
Good yarn, but it should have been a long short story, not a short novel. It would have been interesting to have a little more San Francisco (I started to wonder if she had ever been here). I love the previous books I've read by Victoria Laurie, but this one had a great beginning and a fantastic ending and just seemed to tread water in the...more

Another fun entry in the M.J. Holliday "Ghost Hunter" series, however the back of the book detracts from the overall quality of the book:
When M.J. agrees to use her paranormal abilities on a new TV show called Haunted Possessions, she hopes her gift will not be expolited. Neither M.J. nor her fellow medium Seth realizes how much they'll need to sharpen their psychic skills when one of the objects--a knife--turns out to open a portal that releases a demon.Unfortunately, the "fellow medium's" nam...more
Gilley Gillespie is always looking for ways to find business for his best friend, ghost buster M.J. Holliday, so he is quick to sign her up for a TV show that is a kind of haunted Antiques Road Show. M.J. agrees to go on the show thinking she would just be looking at haunted possessions, but before she knows it she is wrapped up in a murder investigation, staying at a haunted hotel, and trying to get rid of an evil knife that contains a demon. It is going to take all that M.J. and fellow medium...more
I’m a fan Victoria Laurie’s Abby Cooper – Psychic Eye mysteries so thought I’d give this series a try. I like these books, they are written with her usual sense of humor and goofy outlook. M.J. is a straight shooting, no nonsense kind of gal who gets herself into and out of trouble everywhere she goes. She surrounds herself with other likable characters that do enough silly/stupid things to keep the plot moving in some unexpected ways. Overall nice reads but necessarily her best reads.
I love the fun of Laurie's paranormal novels. They are light, fluffy, and pure entertainment. However, the character of M.J. is getting a little mean and rhymes-with-itchy. It's getting hard to care whether good or bad things happen to her. Also, it's getting increasingly apparent that Laurie really has made no discernible distinction between the character in the Ghost Hunter Mysteries and Abby Cooper of the Psychic Eye series. That said, I enjoy the fun of them.

My crack series. At least this is what I call it. Like I've said before I don't know why I get so sucked into these books. I just can't stop reading them. I gotta know what happens! In this book MJ gets invited to do some readings for a show called Haunted Possessions. She is VERY leary about doing it. Because she doesn't want to exploit her talent. Her and fellow psychic Heath have to sharpen their skills when one of the objects, a knife, turns out to be a portal that releases a nasty demon in...more
Haunted Hotel with Gilley, MJ and Steven. MJ is on a panel of mediums when she meets Heath Whitefeather. He is the real deal medium. He helps MJ ghost bust a bunch of crazy ghosts from the hotel and catch a murderer/theif. Really interesting plot, scary moments for everyone with a body jumping poltergeist pirate, romantic moments with MJ and Steven and lots of funny moments with Gilley and Steven. MJ and Heath make lots of money on this gig and are offered their own show on TV ghostbusting-- it...more
For this book, you would think Gilley would have learned not to sign MJ up for things without her approval, or at least that she would stop giving in.
It was a good story of a haunted hotel although it did make me wonder about a place with that many deaths. Demons and hauntings and crazy employees, but not very much of the city or the people, just the few that we already knew, for the most part.
A little disappointing.
