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.

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 re

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 Franci More...

M. J. and Gill are ghostbusters, seriously. They agree to appear on a television reality show called Haunted Possessions where they meet Heath, another psychic. 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.
It's not as fluffy as the cover portrays, I found the mystery element to it strangely compelling. How More...

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.
MJ has agreed to go out to California to be part of a new paranormal show that will have the mediums chosen for the series handle antique objects and talk about their provinence, but one of the objects turns out to be something evil. And then there are the murders that occur while MJ, Gilly and Steven are there. More...

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

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 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

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).

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 " More...

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.

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.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The writing is fun and breezy, making you want to keep reading more even though the chapters are long. There is a lot of woo woo paranormal activity in this book, but it is not so in depth or freaky that it will keep you up at night. This book also made me want to purchase a stockpile of magnets but that's another story! Looking forward to more in this series.

I have always had a fear of creepy hotels, this one really scared me even more. I'll never feel comfortable in a hotel again, LOL The whole books setting is in the most haunted hotel in America. The ghost busting team travels to San Francisco and meets and conects with a Native American ghost buster and then all hell breaks loose. A TV show is shooting a TV with them as the stars, and things go very wrong.

Liked it well enough as lightweight fluff. Although the setting was San Francisco, the city doesn't really feature beyond having hills and a gay scene. It could have been anywhere. Felt the ending was rather rushed. Have to admit that it was a relief to be rid of Steven. As a character I like him, but the over-use of his supposed difficulties with idioms etc grates after a very short time.

I have really liked all of the books I've read by Laurie but this installment from her Ghost Hunters series fell flat. They was a whole bunch of the group being scared, being attacked, deciding to quit and then changing their minds and starting the scared, attacked, quitting and mind changing process all over again. While the hotel ghosties were believable, the demon ghost story seemed less credible and would have made a better story in its own book. I'll keep up with this series because I do e

The best book in the series so far. MJ is called to do a TV show that is basically "Haunted Antiques Roadshow". And it is so good! There is very little plot dealing with Dr. Steven and I think that was because Laurie was introducing new characters. So that was a little disappointing. But I love the direction she is taking the series.

Read them in order, Enjoyed the suspense, laughed at the funny party and got the ibby-gibbies at the scarey parts . I would recommend it to people who enjoy paranormal and believe in ghosts and demons. Can't wait until the next one comes out! But I will have to though since it isn't for awhile . I am going to look into reading her other series now!

It's a fun read. It's about a medium who communicates with the dead. The weird thing is that it's written by a medium, so it was a bit odd to think the person writing this book may see this as less fiction than I did, but if it's just a fiction book, it's a fun, light read. It has a gay character in it that's a bit of a stereotype, and that got annoying, but no one was really flushed out as a character, so I might be asking for too much in my bubble-gum reads.

Victoria Laurie has done it again. This was a fun book filled with ghosts, murders and one demon. She has added some new characters that look like they will be back for another book. If you want a light, fun, ghost-filled mystery with attitude, this the series to read.

These books are really fun! They're a really quick read and hard to put down (lots of cliffhanger type scares). I like the mysteries - this one had a particularly historical and fun back plot. Very fun!

MJ Holliday is back and her partner, Gilley, has gotten her involved with a tv show in San Francisco. The show is meant as Antiques Roadshow meets Ghostbusters and MJ is not happy about it. All too often, psychics end up looking, at a minimum, a little off the wall. But Gilley doesn't tell her about it until they're about to leave, so she goes.
