Ghostworld

by David Brookover

Ominous ghosts threaten to enslave mankind . . . The VIP grand-opening of Orlando's newest theme park, Ghostworld, awakens a murderous evil force, which results in grisly killings and a frightening journey to a genuine ghost world. Joe Luna is a government Department of Supernatural Investigations (DSI) contract agent working the opening, and he witnesses the bizarre events. But there is no suspect. No motive. No clue if there will be another victim. The DSI director assigns Joe a mysterious and magical partner, Dana Drake, who he learns is curiously linked to the ruthless sorcerer they seek. Joe is a sorwolf -part sorcerer, part werewolf . . . and all bad to his enemies. Sometimes he regards his birthright as a curse, but it saved his life countless times. Joe is going to need all his supernatural abilities to survive the onslaught of demons, ghosts, and vampires that the Ghostworld murderer employs to exterminate him. Treachery and horrors greet him at every turn. His ancient adversary is primed to exact his festering, centuries-old revenge on the human race, and only Joe and Dana can ruin his plans. But can they stay alive long enough to hunt him down? David Brookover is the author of six critically acclaimed sci-fi thrillers. He resides in Ohio. Visit David on Facebook.

Ghosts , you have to love em!

I really enjoyed this book, if you love the supernatural then this is for you. It's a fast paced book with ghosts wereanimals and lots of magic too. I would definitely read more by this author and recommend this book 100%.

If I could say one thing about this book, it would be: Action. Literally from the time I started reading this book to the somewhat hurried ending, the pages were filled with narrow escapes, heart-pounding cliff-hangers and last minute escapes. The main-character is a sorwolf, half sorcerer, half werewolf, I suppose and he can wield his wand and staff with the best of them. Still, he would have to be supernatural to be able to handle all of the peril he encounters as he investigates shady murders at a theme park, adequately named, Ghostworld.

Now, without giving the plot away (as I'm sure you've read it before you look at my review), I will say that this would make a good series book, somewhat in the realm of the Dresden books. Who knows, maybe there are sequels or prequels out there, however you will still need a brain break after reading this roller coaster ride of nail biting danger, quirky dialogue and paranormal surprise. I enjoyed it though :D

A super fast paced thrill-filled romp with lots of interesting characters, and I'm really looking forward to more adventures with Joe Luna. What a fantastic character! Found this book to be well done indeed and did I mention I'm looking forward to more?
