Ellie Haskell and her family are an enjoyable lot. I like this series which always has interesting plots and characters. However, sometimes the writer gets carried away trying to be humourous.

I enoyed this Regan Reilley mystery. Not terribly intellectual or hard to follow the plot. Just a quick, good read.

Interesting storyline and the characters were intriguing. I did think, however, that the story dragged on a little longish and the ending left me feeling let down. Guessed part of the plot about 60 or 70% through but some of it was a surprise. That said, it was still an enjoyable, intriguing read.

Interesting book about ghosts at inns, restaurants, hotels, haunted toys, etc. Written in a rather chatty, informal style.

This series doesn't appeal to me as much as the dragon series also written by this author. The supposed humor escapes me and there is no connection with the main characters. However, that being said, I did like the menagerie of fey, trolls, and other unusual "folk." The plot was fast paced, the story wonderfully written, and the descriptions transported me to the land of pirates.

This is an old book. Happy to see it turn up here. One of my all time favorites regarding reincarnation. Rich in detail and characterization.

The story spans 16th-century England to present day regarding an undying love, good and evil, mysticism.

This was excellent. A different take on the paranormal, as it was the humans who were considered strange and unsual. Interesting main character and the entire storyline was great.
