Ex-marine Shane Ryan is a ghost hunter whose troubled past haunts him almost as much as the ghosts he encounters in the line of duty. He's the best. And his reward for excellence? The punishment of being in high demand for jobs to eradicate the worst kind of ghosts - the kind that kill.

His latest assignment is an idyllic island setting with sunny skies, crystal blue ocean and a venerable old lighthouse that makes the scenery picture perfect...except for the malevolent, murderous ghosts marring the living portrait. If Amy, the owner, wasn't Marie Lafontaine's cousin, Shane would have steered clear of Squirrel Island and its diabolical dead. But Detective Lafontaine is his do-or-die friend. He'd do anything for her. Even face Dorothy, the undead Evilena who kills anyone invading her unholy domain. Add two shipwrecked couples to the mix and Shane has more trouble than he wants to handle.

Shane's mission is clear: rid the island of Dorothy and her band of undead while keeping his new charges alive. But how could he know that staying alive meant facing the worst evil ever imagined?

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved The Story! A Really Fun Read!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

First if you love the ocean and anything nautical you’ll enjoy this story that takes place on a lighthouse isle. I was surprised that it didn’t take place in his house as the cover depicts but it was a nice surprise. Marie has very little air time in this book as he develops new relationships with the living and the dead, even a little brewing romance that was nice as he and she were going through heinous times. I thought it was done nicely considering the circumstances. The story does not forget uncle Gerry who is very sweet and likeable, although only has brief cameos. It was unexpected and nice.

I was very happy when the annoying George was killed! You’ll understand trust me.

Overall I really liked this story. It was more murder mystery thriller than scary, but was a story of a man who sees dead people and all the shenanigans that occur when dealing with the wicked dead, and those stuck. It was a fun read. Enjoy!

This is a good book to read, it kept my interest. Intriguing and there were a few good gruesome parts. Might be SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Reader of this review been warned! However, I have to take one star off coz 1st, the very same technique Shane Ryan did in the 1st book to get rid of the malevolent dead, is also the exact same technique he used to get rid of the entirely different malevolent dead in this book! I was, like, what the heck, is that gonna be Shane Ryan’s only solution to defeat the dead? it’s just become very predictable if there never will be a different, new technique for defeating bad ghosts. Hoping it will not be the very same or very similar technique too in book 3-book 9 of the series. Much variety will be better in that area 🤔 2nd, it might be very minor to many, but the pairing of Shane Ryan who’s 43 years old to a 26 year old Courtney, is a little disturbing coz he’s almost 20 years older than her and he’s like cradle snatching. 🤷🏻‍♀️and I liked detective Marie Lafontaine for Shane Ryan much much better so Kind of disappointed he ended up with a young woman almost 20 years younger than him. Still kind of hope Courtney will be out of the picture eventually and instead just really fall in love with someone more her own age and Shane either finally fall for Detective Marie Lafontaine and Marie for him or at least Shane get together with someone more his age like Marie anyway 😅 Anyway, those are the 2 reasons I knocked off one star for this particular book 😊

I'm 2 books into the series, hated for each to end while so excited to start the next. A really good storyline in both books. Lots of build-up. Everything a horror story should be. I highly recommend as I'm off to the next with excitement.

As usual, Mr. Ripley knows exactly how to write a story that gets the goosebumps rising. His characters are so well defined and written so effectively, you know which character is speaking at any given time. I really admire his amazing ability, to make you feel as though you are actually within the setting and emotionally vested with the characters. I also appreciate how the majority of his books are standalone. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing and involved. I would definitely recommend this book to those who appreciate this genre. Also to those who are not. You just might change your mind after reading this book!

Then this series will hit buttons you've been missing!
From vengeful spirits, to salt, iron, and fire - Ripley knows lore and tells great stories with them.
The the novellas are original and rich, but not so scary as to inspire nightmares.
A little predictable, but not too much.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A LIGHTHOUSE..... RUN
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017

You had to love or hate this genre. For me is LOVE AT 1ST SIGHT with Riple's writing.

The main character isn't an invincible "super-heroe", had many "human faults". That make the approach to him more easy. He felt, cry, drank, chain-smoke & live most of his life around ghosts.

How could he return, help... Suffering PTSD, Depression. This time loose a love interest and the rest isn't history is a well wtitten book.

I can't stop, I been reading them in order and love every second of it.

I had all his books. Think I will enjoy reading them all!!! Don't let anyone told you. Buy the books and enjoy.

Ron Ripley is one of those writers that could make anything with little or big things. You could feel fear, stress, die of terror, suspense but never being bored. Yay for Shane.

The use of few "live" characters in between the lot of "dead ones" are great. So many dead interesting ones... The plot, the characters, the atmosphere, at every book change and you know the new characters and the changes of Shane, friends and his house ghosts.

Ripley is an artist moving and creating that atmosphere of threat that never leaves. Every book I read from him is better and better.

I could say many things from the book, but where is the fun in telling that you could read and enjoy?

I'm very honest with my Reviews, not only for me, the author or other readers, how an author know when did something good or need improvement?

How another reader believe in my review? If I didn't read the book, I don't Review. If the book is good, Review. If the book isn't good, Review.

With that we all benefit, readers, authors & readers searching for something new or special.

My opinions are my own. You can find me at Amazon under: MASTERI

The book was too creepy and too scary !
Hated the evil , torture as u read about them get goosebumps. I loved the first book as it was more emotional specially the German soldier having an heartbreaking story. Ghosts of the house were nice but in this book the ghosts are more evil and violent.
