FABULOUS book by author Victoria Laurie. This, the sixth in her Ghost Hunter series, is another example of Ms. Laurie's flexibility. Each new book has taken the characters in a new direction and into uncharted territory, keeping the stories fresh and exciting. In "Ghoul Interrupted" MJ Holliday, her fellow medium and boyfriend Heath Whitefeather and her best friend Gilley Gillespie are forced to abandon filming of their new TV show "Ghoul Getters" in order to go to Heath's home in New Mexico for a family funeral. Suspicious circumstances seem to surround the death and MJ and the gang begin an investigation, spurred on by MJ's spirit guide, Sam Whitefeather. It appears an ancient demon has arisen with murder on its mind and it's up to MJ, Heath and Gilley to put the evil thing to rest before anyone else gets hurt.

I really enjoyed the southwestern scenery of this book, along with all of the Native American legends. It was a pleasant diversion from past books that were set in Europe. Because the reunion of Heath's family takes place under such emotionally charged circumstances, there's more intimacy between the characters, more sharing of their pasts and their emotional connections to each other. There are lots of sweet scenes between MJ and Gilley, revealing more about their friendship. As always, the book was also hi-larious! Gilley takes a prominent role in the funniest scenes and creates a catch phrase that I've already found myself using (hint: it involves his name). Last, but definitely not least, this is absolutely the scariest Ghost Hunter book so far!! It was so satisfying to be unnerved by the villainous spirit and to see MJ and her crew courageously rise to the challenge of taking it down. Ms. Laurie gives us another chance to cheer for our team, and for that I say, "Cheers, Victoria!! Now, on to the next!"
