A grown-up mix of Scooby Doo and Nancy Drew, GHOULS, GHOULS, GHOULS was a light, quick read that blends a realistic present day with a dash of the spirit world. An entertaining ghost story to fill a few hours, the characters of GHOULS, GHOULS, GHOULS didn’t leave enough of an impression for me to hurry out and pick up the rest of the series.

The ghostly aspects of the story were my favorite parts of the book, dusting a classic mystery procedural with ectoplasm. Victoria Laurie definitely wrote th...more

I love this series and recommend it all the time as a library assistant. However, I don't think this installment was as strong as Laurie's other books. A strange consistency error in Gilley's physique (in one chapter, he's so out of shape he can barely make it up the stairs; a few pages later, M.J. calls upon his championship cross country skills for a rescue; then he's back to over eating and out of shape) kept me flipping around to make sense of the story.

This series revolves around the premise that the main characters can see ghosts and other phantasms, interact with them, and either banish them or send them on to the light (which I have always read as a euphemism for going to Heaven).

MJ (Mary Jane) and her cast, who I hesitate to label her friends, are on site in Ireland to film a television spot for a US network. The people of the village refuse to help, although they are free with their advice, information, and warnings, as the crew tries to go to the castle on the rock to do their show.

I have read others in this series, although not in sequence, which is fine because a strong point of this ghost hunter series is that they do not need to be read in order. Even when there are references to other trips the group has made, there is enough information given to ensure the plotline continues without making it redundant to those who have read other books, but possibly enough to encourage those who have not. That is actually why I picked this up – it was referenced obliquely in another story set a little later.

However, this book is lacking the smooth transitions among the team that characterizes some of the other books, making it a weaker storyline. As a transition it works great – having read earlier and later books in the same series, I can recommend this one as a "turning point" type story.

There is one flaw which I consider major. The character of MJ's friend Gilley is a selfish pig, eating everything in sight, gaining weight and out of shape. He has to be prodded, cajoled, and bullied into going up a long flight of stairs, and barely makes it, yet a short while later he is able to use his championship cross country running ability to race across a rocky slope to assist in a rescue. Since this book takes place over a short period of a few days, that is not realistic, especially as within a few pages we again see him stuffing his face and selfishly making off with food treats. (view spoiler)

I did enjoy the spooks, of which there are many, although I thought that the hints given to MJ on where to look for an item were so obvious that I wondered how she could miss them. A quick thinker she is not. However, this was an entertaining story with all sorts of ghosts in a haunted castle in a remote location, even if some of the mysteries presented were never explained, leaving me perplexed.(view spoiler)

If this was the first book in the series I had read, I would not pick up another. There was not enough character building, and the glimpses we do get of the characters are not good. Gopher is a controlling freak, Gilley is a whining careless idiot (except when he is being a computer genius), Heath drools over anything in a skirt, MJ is clueless, and we barely get glimpses of the other characters' motivations and history.

Holliday and crew travel to Ireland to visit Dunlow, a haunted Irish castle. M.J. knows the shoot will be difficult as the castle is on an island and cannot be reached at times. But even she, who has had plenty of experience with ghosts, is knocked off her feet - literally - by a powerful phantom, who is guarding some hidden gold. Some people who have encountered this phantom have died, and M.J. isn't willing to risk her life and would be happy to leave. There is only one problem - her producer, Peter "Gopher" Gophner is missing, and MJ is afraid the Phantom has taken him. It will take all M.J. and her partner Heath have to stop the phantom and rescue Gopher - but will it be enough?

For the most part, "Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls" is another nice paranormal mystery in Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunters paranormal mystery series. I love the ghost hunting aspects of the whole series and the haunted castle idea is a real winner. This may be M.J.'s toughest case yet and there are some very scary moments involving the phantom who is a truly scary ghost. Mixed in with the Phantom are several helpful ghosts (Laurie is at her best when ghosts visit M.J. while she is dreaming) that add much to the atmosphere of the book. There are also some sadder moments involving ghosts who won't crossover and relive their deaths over and over again. Neatly mixed in with all of this is the mystery of Gopher's disappearance (although I did figure out pretty easily where he was). Unfortunately, what almost ruins this book is the over-the-top actions of Gilley. When the series first started he was a lovable amusing character - M.J.'s best friend who worked with her even though he is afraid of ghosts. Now he's simply annoying - screeching all the time that he is hungry, (we got it the first 25 times he said it) and is afraid of talking animals in movies (?). His histrionics ruined much equipment, and about had it when he and M.J. had what was essentially a food fight (seriously). I had to wonder why the others put up with his antics and why in the world M.J. is friends with them. Too bad, because he is a fun character - hopefully his character will turn around in the next book in the series.

It may be flawed, but "Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls" is still a fun paranormal mystery.

Peter Gophner (aka, Gopher) the producer of M.J. Holliday's new cable television show Ghoul Getters, has found the perfect location. Dunlow Castle in Ireland, built on a rock that's only accessible via a causeway at low tide, is believed to be haunted by a malevolent phantom that is guarding a treasure of Spanish doubloons. This phantom has supposedly killed more than one disbelieving gold-hunter.

What happens when they actually arrive at the castle is classic. The phantom fills its victim's mind...more

To the haunted castle with the big bad phantom. I'm not quite sure what was missing in this installment but something was. Where was the humor? And the fun? So much sturm und drang. Perhaps the next one might be a tad more fun.

Author Victoria Laurie comes up with an intriguing story idea in "Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls." A haunted castle, hidden treasure, murderous phantom, and a history of tragedies befalling previous ghost- and treasure hunters are a formula for a great mystery. The formula fell a little flat, though, as the there was no real character development and the lack of a subplot left me dizzy with the only action yo-yo-ing between two locations.

I opted to read this one first because I find M. J. Holliday and her best friend Gilley Gillespie (that's Gil for short) to be quirkier and more amusing much of the time. Ghosts and demons get up to more wacky hi-jinx than your average medium apparently!

This outing finds the crew of M. J.'s show Ghoul Getters in Ireland investigating a castle that has everything, though the moat is truly horrendous. Instead of the nice normal drawbridge to the castle the original builder built his home on a small island that is only accessible by a causeway that is open for a few hours each day at low tide. Practically impregnable. And also haunted. By lots of things that go bump in the night including one very pissed off phantom. A murderous phantom to be exact. At least two people have gone over the edge of the cliffs, one has been driven insane, and another left crippled after dealing with this ectoplasmic monstrosity.

The phantom is where all the trouble begins because it has apparently phantom-napped the show's producer. The gang generally finds him truly annoying but they also like him and in order to get him back they're going to have to go up against the phantom.

Taking a ride with M. J., Gil, Heath, Gopher and the rest of the crew is always worth doing. I think the first couple of books had more humor in them than the more recent novels though. I remember laughing out loud at a few parts of Demons are a Ghoul's Best Friend but this book only elicited a few chuckles, no out and out guffaws. It had its good points of course; the chase across the lawn of the castle is a great scene. But it wasn't because it was amusing necessarily.

I'm also wonder about the intensity level of the paranormal phenomenon that M. J. finds and has to deal with. I worry that Laurie is going the way some of my other favorite authors have. Eventually the books become unbelievable (yes, I see the humor in that statement!) and the reader just can't believe that our heroine and her wacky sidekicks can defeat whatever nasty has appeared because the nasty is just too nasty! If you keep upping the ante eventually you go all in and I'm not sure how much longer Laurie can write novels before it appears Holliday is all in. Which I would find incredibly sad. I've put down too many series lately because they have stretched my un-reality limit too far. Here's hoping the next book in the series proves me wrong!(less)

I adore reading about that feisty psychic detective and her often near-fatal mishaps. However, when I read the first MJ Holliday book, I was completely hooked. If you haven’t read the other books in the series (you really should), MJ Holliday is a medium/ ghost buster. In the early books, she worked more or less alone, with only the assistance of her trusty sidekick Gilly. In the later books, she is accompanied by a more expansive team as she earns her own cable-network TV show (think Ghost Hunters).

In Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls MJ, her new co-star/”are they or are they not” boyfriend, Gilly and the crew of Ghoul Getters head off to a remote part of Scotland to bust a particular nasty ghoul living in Dunlow castle. In fact, it’s the worst ghoul they’ve ever faced (until the next book). To make matters worse, their producer is missing and the castle is only accessible (or escapable) twice a day for a few hours.

The plot was fun and easy to follow, like all of Laurie’s books. The atmosphere was particularly creepy (pretty much any Scottish, Irish or English castle always comes across as creepy!), and I really liked the development between MJ and Heath. I enjoyed reading this book, but I do have a few complaints. First, Gilly is getting more annoying and less charming with each book. He used to be just a little off in a fairly comedic way. Now he’s a downright raving lunatic, busting into a complete psychotic meltdown at the sight of talking animals on the television. Seriously? The guy deals with ghosts for a living (albeit reluctantly and outfitted in a sweatshirt filled with magnets), but talking animals reduce him to hysterics? I’m terrified of clowns. I hide my eyes when particularly frightening ones come on TV. I don’t start screaming and acting like a loon though, especially in the midst of a particularly frightening investigation (not that I do much ghostly investigating). He’s becoming a hindrance to the other main characters to the point of distraction. Please Ms. Laurie, if you somehow manage to stumble across this little review blog, I beg of you, return Gilly to his usual slightly whacked by still charming self.

Second, I miss Doc, the wise-cracking African Gray that usually travels with MJ and crew. He’s been all but written out since MJ started production on her show. I understand that it is unrealistic to bring her parrot along on trips across the continent, but his presence is still missed.

Overall, “Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls” was a quick, entertaining read. I hope Laurie addresses some of the issues with the ever unraveling Gilly (based on Amazon reviews, I’m not the only one who thought it was over the top) and brings back my beloved Doc, even if just for a few pages. But regardless of the issues with this particular book, I’ll be snapping up her next one the day it comes out, as always.

Note- I originally reviewed this book on my blog,

But for some reason her Ghost Hunter mysteries are just super fast fun reads for me!! And Ghouls Ghouls Ghouls was just as wonderful as the previous books in the series!

This time M.J. and her crew, minus Steven now since the events of Ghouls Gone Wild, find themselves in Ireland to go to a very haunted island where treasure is buried and many have died trying to get it, literally. Something evil haunts the place, so of course, Gopher, as he is know to M.J., insists on taking the team there to investigate for their upcoming show. But things take a turn for the worse.

I mean the team is stranded on an island...for to get to the castle you must cross a channel at low tide which only happens for 2 hours twice a day, otherwise you are trapped on whichever side you remain on. Let's just say that M.J. and her team don't get trapped on the right side, which is obvious! And they are stuck in a truly haunted castle filled with spirits, dead bodies, and one nasty phantom set to kill. But the fun really starts when one of them goes missing...

And so the mystery truly begins as M.J. and her remaining teammates must find their missing comrade, but things get increasingly worse in so many ways! And the mystery to rescuing their teammate will require more work than M.J. thought possible by digging into the past and contacting the one person who can help them, if they are willing to return to the dreaded island.

I love Laurie's mysteries! They are fun quick reads, but still hold ample amount of mystery, suspense and chilling moments. And there is still always a bad guy who isn't dead that must be uncovered. So there's lots of tension to the mystery as well, especially when a timeline for the safe return of her comrade is set. And there was even a bit of romance involved as well!

And I have to say that I just love Gilley! He is so damn funny! And he doesn't even really try, it's just his normal behavior! Even though he scares easily, and is rightly justified at times, he still cracks me up!

So can't wait for the next one, Ghouls Interrupted, not sure when it releases as of yet, but will post once I know!

Overall this one gets 5/5 stars! Of course it's because I truly love the series and know that it might not be for everyone. But as I said Laurie's mystery series, both of them, are fun quick reads with a good mystery and a well blended mix of supernatural to be very thrilling!(less)

Love the characters for this series (as well as Victoria's other series, Abby Cooper). These are such fun books to relax with. Been a fan of MJ & friends since the first book and the stories keep getting better.
