This book was truly awful. If it were possible to give it a Zero-Star rating, I would.

First, the typographical editing is terrible, bordering on non-existent.

Second, the basic grammatical construction of both sentences and paragraphs is horrible. Apparently, the author could not decide on whether to use first person present tense or third person past tense, so she used both - often in the same sentence. That was a really mental delight to interpret!

But, the killing blow is the manner in which the author de-evolved the characters. This is the fourth entry in a series being written by several different authors. The first three books established our main characters, Monty and Ellen Drew, as mature, emotionally stable, well-educated and very capable investigators. Before this book is half over, Michelle Wright transforms them into hormonally raging, emotionally immature card-board cutouts without a lick of sense or skill between them. Ms Wright has them sounding and acting as if they were middle-schoolers rather than the forty-somethings that they really are.

Frankly, it is hard for me to believe that J.R. Rain Publishing actually let this one get away from them with so many problems. This is not a Kindle World entry over which they have no control.

I was kind of enjoying this series but this book was terrible. The editing, in general, in the series is poor but there were so many errors in this book that it was hard to read. Each book is written by a different author so some style differences are expected but this book was truly awful. Ellen and Monty Drew are sent to Belgium where they end up dealing with Nazi ghosts. The story quickly devolved and the characters reactions were ridiculous. There is no real substance to this book.

Ellen and Monty go to Belgium. This has some particularly nasty ghosts. They have been contracted to clear out an old building that seems to have some very mean ghosts. Ellen senses that there are maybe hundreds of ghosts, but only a few of them are destructive. One of the men working in the building has already died. Can they clear it before they become ghosts too?

Ghost Hall (The Ghost Files Book 4)

Monty and Ellen trip to Belgium to fight Nazi ghosts. This ghost are holding Jews ghost that were killed in concentration camps in a old building. Great story.

I tried to like Ghost Hall, I really did. However, it's filled with so many grammatical errors, that the book quickly becomes an absolute chore to read.

While each book in The Ghost Files series has had a different author, Ghost Hall is the one that differs the most from the established norms, and writing style.

What could have been a truly interesting instalment to the series, ended up feeling like badly written fan fiction.

Well this series quickly went downhill. The first two books were good, the third was so-so, and I couldn't get more than 20% into this one. You can definitely tell the authors have changed, because they have completely changed the characters. The writing in this one is stiff and doesn't flow, and wastes time with repetitive description. There are multiple spelling and grammatical errors, and Monty doesn't think of anything other than boinking his wife.

slap you in the face with reality. being shameful of your city or countries actions in the past, and trying to cover it up will lead you back to where you don't want to be. lesson we all learn in history class, but also learn in this tale.
a couple of paranormal investors handle a building wrapped up in a horrid past. how they decide to handle it, makes the story even more interesting.

Disappointed after loving the first 3

I have read the first 4 books in this series. I loved 1 thru 3, enough to buy the entire set. This book is making me question my decision. This book didn't have the same flair and feel. I didn't like Monty and Ellen at all. Plus the book felt very repetitive. I'm deeply disappointed.

This series is really falling off. Just feel like their is not enough tension through the story. The characters seem different. The story just went in circles. And no I don't want to hear Monty's lusting thoughts. Needs a little retooling to continue.

I would have given this book more stars, but there were a number of grammar and punctuation mistakes that threw me out of the story. I did enjoy it, though - it was another light, easy read and I definitely intend to get the next book in the series
