Cold Shadows is the second book in Ellie Jordan series, and it's taken a week or two for me to get around to reading it. Living in a haunted house has got to be creepy, right. How about living in a house with four ghosts..one of them a possible poltergeist? Well this situation is Ellie and Stacey's next investigation, and it's one that starts off quickly.
Cold Shadows was a quicker read than the previous book. I also notice a pattern with the houses....they are all fabulous massive houses, which are my dream house...except I don't think I want the hauntings. Once I began reading Cold Shadows and the hauntings really started they felt more intense and more life threatening, and there was some really creepy goings on, but I loved every page of it. Yes I was nervous, worried whether Ellie, Stacey, or even Jacob would survive the night, but it made Cold Shadows that much more gripping, and I really did not want to put it down.
I really liked that we get to see more of Jacob and that he once again is recruited to help solve a case. His skills are an asset that Ellie and Stacey really need, much to Ellie's annoyance. This trio really know how to pack a punch and their teamwork together certainly gets a job done.
Cold Shadows is a great installment in the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper series, and the author has once again done an amazing job at drawing you in, and making you sit on the edge of you set trying to guess what is going to happen next. I can't wait to read the next chapter for Ellie and Stacey.

Much like the first book a nice quick entertaining listen. And I do mean quick. I think it was 6-7 hours. I finished it in one day as I was doing projects around the house. I really Ellie and I enjoy Stacey her partner too. I will continue to listen to these books when I need a story that is not intense with characters I like. I hope to hear more about Ellie's boss' backstory as the books progress. StoryGraph does not have an audio option and I did listen to this.

This was so good.
I really enjoy the ghost hunting I sort of wish it was more featured but its still just enough to keep me entertained.

I love this series. This book was scarier than the first book and it was so good. A few twists and a very good, satisfying ending. I love the characters and the scares are good and spooky. It's great to read about places I've been. The streets of Charleston and hearing about Beaufort.
I had to make a note about the southern things that the mom of the haunted family said. "I don't give two saltines and a bowl of soup what they want." So southern. I once heard a southern man say "hair on a biscuit". And another phrase I heard while living in the south, "son of a biscuit eater". Too funny.
I can't wait to read the next book. One of my favorite ghost series.
