SOUTHERN SPIRITS is Book one in the Southern Ghost
Hunter
mystery series by Angie Fox. This is the first book I've
read by Angie Fox and I really enjoyed reading SOUTHERN
SPIRITS. SOUTHERN SPIRITS has some of the things that I
love about cozy mysteries -- likeable characters, a little
humor, and a dash of romance -- but it also has lots of
thrills.
Verity Long is a very sympathetic main character. The
story
opens with Verity in a very bad place financially because
of her ex and his family. The unfairness of her situation
and the response she gets from people in her town had me
rooting for her from the beginning. I didn't really find
Ellis to be the "bad boy" as described in the book blurb.
He's a cop, former military man, and is working hard to
start a business. I wasn't sure I would like him at first
because of how he viewed Verity through the distorted lens
of his family's opinion. However, I like that he came
around quickly as soon as he was faced with the truth.
They
made a good ghost hunting team in SOUTHERN SPIRITS and I
look forward to seeing how their relationship progresses
in
future books.
I love how Angie Fox brings the scary in SOUTHERN SPIRITS.
There are all types of ghostly characters -- a former
gangster turned reluctant good guy, lonely ghosts,
misunderstood ghosts, as well as truly frightening ones.
The mystery that Angie Fox mixes in with the ghost story
is
an interesting puzzle and very compelling. The sense of
danger and excitement keep building through SOUTHERN
SPIRITS until the fascinating conclusion. I like that
there
are some lighter moments scattered throughout southern
spirits to break up the tension.
SOUTHERN SPIRITS is an exciting ghostly delight and lots
of
fun. Angie Fox crafts a story that had me riveted from
start to finish. The ghost characters that appear in
SOUTHERN SPIRITS -- like Frankie or even Jilted Josephine
--
are charming in their own way and I hope to see them in
future books. I eagerly await the next installment in
this Southern Ghost Hunter series.
One simple mistake…
For a girl who is about to lose her family home,
Releases the ghost of a long-dead gangster,
And opens Verity Long’s eyes to a whole new world…
When out of work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally
traps a ghost on her property, she’s saddled with more
than
a supernatural sidekick—she gains the ability see spirits.
It leads to an offer she can’t refuse from the town’s bad
boy, the brother of her ex and the last man she should
ever
partner with.
Ellis Wyatt is in possession of a stunning historic
property
haunted by some of Sugarland Tennessee’s finest former
citizens. Only some of them are growing restless—and
destructive. He hires Verity to put an end to the
disturbances. But soon, Verity learns there’s more to the
mysterious estate than floating specters, secret
passageways, and hidden rooms.
There’s a modern day mystery afoot, one that hinges on a
decades-old murder. Verity isn't above questioning the
living, or the dead. But can she discover the truth before
the killer finds her?
