Ghosts

[Eliza]

Looking for paranormal books (no vampires, werewolf's, zombies) - strictly haunting/ghosts. Read all of St. James....love her. Preferably romance involved, but not required and the scarier the better! Any suggestions?

Kristen Ashley has the Ghosts and Reincarnations series that I enjoyed.

J.L. Bryan's Ellie Jordan series is fantastic, I devour them whenever a new one comes out and they are super inexpensive.

Also Amanda Stevens Graveyard Queen series is awesome and also complete so if your looking for a series that is already finished it is fabulous too. Both of these series are spooky and creepy and are all about the ghost.

I really enjoyed Mike Carey's Felix Castor series, which is about an exorcist.

Thank you! These are great!


Mlpmom- romance in either one?

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

There are, more in Steven's than the other.

I really enjoy the series by Kat Richardson, that begins with Greywalker. There are other creatures, but much of her world is ghostly. I take a bit of exception with one major/minor flaw in book one, but that may just be me- if you read it, or have read it, I'd be curious to talk about it.

I really enjoy the world Richardson built though, and there is some romance- not the hot and heavy variety, but a friendship that builds into something solid and reliable and believable.

The last book in that series came out last year, so it is a good one to devour without worrying about waiting- I'm greedy about that kinda thing. I hate waiting! Hehehe.

I'm a huge audio book fan of late- are those well narrated? I find that, sometimes, I end up not liking a series at all if I don't care for the reader. But then, darn, I'm just stuck with a real book in my hands. ;)

(I am an insomniac though, and in order to get any good snuggle time with my husband at night, I tend to listen to audio books while he sleeps.)

I read all of Greywalker and Downside... and 2 of the Experiments in Terror books by Karina Halle...

I liked the initial 5 book arc of Greywalker a lot... the first book was the weakest for me... (view spoiler)[ I take a bit of exception when authors make characters too powerful and feel the need to have a Power Reset... one of the reasons I got sick of Arcadia Bell and never finished that series (hide spoiler)]... the rest of the series wasn't bad...

I haven't tried the Downside audiobooks, but I've seen a ton of people that have say nothing but good things about it...

@Bunnycore: Arcadia drove me crazy, because it was like if Lon wasn't there to suggest she use her powers whenever they could save the day, she would die having never tried... that golf course scene in book 2 was the death knell for me... considering I remember it 3-4yrs later

I remember having to start Greywalker twice... the first time I didn't make it past the first time she gets lost in the Grey...

UF with hedgehogs?! That sounds completely bonkers!

[Timelord Iain]

That's mostly why I read contemporary romance... its light... the ones I like are funny... and you know everything is going to work out in the end... I read Lucky Harbor, Animal Magnetism, a lot of Susan Mallery's work, Penny Reid's Knitting in the City and WInston Brothers universe, Julia James, and some others I think...

I liked Chicagoland Vampires for the characters more than the stories (the politics of that series moved at a snails pace) (view spoiler)[ This is why the evil Mallory phase around books 5-6 was the weak point in the series for me. (hide spoiler)]

[Josie]

@Bunnycore I haven't, but it sounds a bit odd. Is this a magic hedgehog that can levitate? Or a teleporting hedgehog? If not, maybe someone should write that...

[Brittain *Needs a Nap and a Drink*]

Any books where the ghost falls in love with the main character?

[Timelord Iain]

Since it seems to be coming up everywhere I turn right now... Gil's All Fright Diner

Also: Dark Needs at Night's Edge... altho I quit this series before getting this far, so I can't say how it is... it sounded like one of the less rape-y ones by my standards

One of the authors who posts here has a series (the run around) that has ghosts, and a spin off book that has a ghost and human fall in love. It's high on the explicit sex scenes. If you like your stories steamy you will really enjoy these books.
