Ghost Killer #1
What Haunts Me
After George gets ill, the dreams begin. Suppressed memories surface, allowing him to see ghosts, and a deeply buried instinct emerges.
George finds out he can kill these monsters, and heal their victims. The ability to save lives is something he cannot ignore, but it soon becomes an obsession and begins to eat away at George's sanity.
His quest for understanding leads him to new friends and allies, and exposes him to enemies he could have never imagined. But how do you kill something that’s already dead?

Are they among us, wreaking havoc, pain and causing brutal deaths? Why are they here? Why can’t we see them? Who will be their next victim? Who will save us from the unknown evil that lurks among us from beyond the grave? Who knew that with one bout of the flu, an inner hero and warrior would be born and he may become the most powerful tool to stop the evil hauntings of humans and the demons who lurk in the shadows?
George tell us his story and it is certainly frightening to think that evil could be looking over our shoulders. Seems George has had a secret power awakened within him. Not only can he see ghosts, he instinctively knows to stab them with anything, just a poke and poof, they are gone and the living being they were torturing, through pain, disease or physical infirmity is no longer afflicted. What would “possess” a ghost to be so vile?
Like an intriguing ghost story that raises a normal and forgettable guy like George to a man struggling to fulfill a mission, clueless, but willing to do what every hero will do, risk it all for others? ? First, more than anything, George needs answers and trust me, the secret group who has found him has answers, none of which he likes, especially the part where he is the target for one man, demons and ghosts who would use him for their own selfish reasons. Allies abound as the circle of knowledge widens, but everything rests on George’s shoulders… Such a hero needs a partner of near equal power and well, her attitude is just a plus, but are they prepared for they may face, heck can they even get along?
What Haunts Me by Margaret Millmore is a rather unique take on ghosts, hauntings and the secret heroes who help keep the world safe. Far from tortuously dark and foreboding, there is enough delving into the unknown to hook readers into needing more information! Margaret Millmore has cast her own spell on haunting and given it a feel that anything is possible, including a rather unlikely hero who takes his work seriously, especially when discovering the losses his family has faced.
Not too dark, while being entertaining and well-written, Ms. Millmore invites you to enter if you dare!

I was so excited to read this book. It was everything I hoped it would be. I am so glad I got a chance to check it out. I really enjoy ghost stories and the fact that George can kill them was a good part to this book. It made this book stand out. I could see this book as a TV series. It was this good for me. This book was great and enjoyed it from page 1 to the end. I would read more from this author. *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

"What Haunts Me" has an original and fascinating premise. Thirty-three-year-old George Sinclair, a realtor in San Francisco, on recovering from a bout of flu, discovers three things: he can see ghosts who haunt people and make them sick, he can "kill" the ghosts by stabbing them, and the haunted person returns to health when their ghost is killed.
I settled down to see what Margaret Millmore would do with this.
"What Haunts Me" is told as a first-person account in which the narrator, George, addresses the reader directly, saying things like:
"Before we go on, I should tell you a little about me so you know who I am... or was, to be more precise."
This style reminded me of early twentieth-century ghost stories, with their intimate formality, treating the reader as a confidante and companion on the narrative journey.
As I got a few chapters in, I experienced an increasing gap between the language used to tell the story and the character of the narrator telling it.
The narrator is in his thirties. He'a native of Los Angeles County, a graduate of UC San Diego and has lived and worked in San Francisco for long enough to save to buy his own place, yet the language he uses to describe the people around him seems a better fit for a well-brought-up lady in the early twentieth century than the man he's supposed to be. Here's an example of George describing to us what he sees when he enters a bar:
"A few older gentlemen were perched on the bar stools chatting with the bartender, and a couple of younger guys on the other side of the large room playing pool.?
What thirty-something man describes guys drinking in a bar as "a few older gentlemen"?
Then there's a point where he meets up with the most likely love-interest and we get this:
"I only had on my wrinkled khakis from the night before, and suddenly felt conscious of my naked upper body. Don't get me wrong, I was a strapping young man, and thought I looked pretty good shirtless. But I could actually feel her staring and it wasn’t a pleasant sensation."
We know George has been working too hard to have a girlfriend but I hadn't assumed he was a thirty.three-year-old virgin. Even if he was, what man describes himself as a"strapping young man"?
I kept forgetting George was male and picturing a slightly awkward woman as the main character.
I carried on with the book because I wanted to know what happened. The plot was quite good. There were long-held family secrets, scary bad guys, shadowy organisations and some very threatening demons.
Unfortunately, there was also a lot of, sometimes painfully slow, info-dumping and very little action, unless you count eating and drinking while people drip-feed George the truth about what's going on.
There is a big battle at the end, which was quite well set up but which lacked the tension and the thrill/panic of being involved in a life and death struggle against the odds.
There wasn't enough here for me to continue on to the second book in the series.

What Haunts Me: Ghost Killer Book 1, by Margaret Millmore, differs from the usual book about the haunts of demons and ghosts victimizing people; this story is about a man who finds himself suddenly seeing apparitions, and moreover, discovering that he has the ability to make them disappear and save others from the hands of unconscionable spirits. The protagonist sets himself on a journey to find out why this is suddenly happening to him, only to discover that his "ability" as a ghost killer, runs in the family. Written in first person, one is constantly seeing the perspective of the ghost killer himself, and while there is a thread of mystery that draws the reader along to the end, the story is quite flippant and cavalier in its approach to taking out the haunting demons. It's an interesting insight into a paranormal ability, an inherited one, certainly not wanted, and yet, one that the main character must reconcile if he is to live his life with any sense of normality.

An interesting idea but poorly executed. The characters have no depth, the relationships between them are there only because we are told they are, not because we see them develop and the dialogues are... cartoonish at best.
I will not be reading more in this series.

This was kind of awful. A man gets sick and sees ghosts in glasses. He remembers having seen and killed them with poking his whole childhood. Now he has to uncover his past with the help of a spicy lady ghost killer who is almost as special as he is.

George is a seemingly ordinary man, who discovers he actually has a gift or maybe a curse that he can see ghosts. As the truth unfolds before him, long held secrets beget friends and enemies he never knew of before.
If you enjoy these things I recommend this book for you!
- first person POV
- contemporary fiction
- paranormal/ghosts/demons
- secrets and deception
- secret societies
- slow and steady pace
- no spice
I slowly read little bits of this book between other reads. I really liked the synopsis and found the story to be unique and interesting in regard to the paranormal and the gifting to see/etc.
Told in first person point of view, we discover everything as George does. The narrator voice is very descriptive, sometimes overly so. The book has a slow and steady pacing until the end, at which point it felt a bit rushed. The big “showdown” felt hurried through and left me wanting for more description and action involved.
I thought the execution of the secrets and connections was well done and I had guesses on some of them, but many I didn’t see coming or guessed incorrectly.
While part of a series the book does end in a generally happy ending way, so you could stop there if you didn’t enjoy.
I give it a 3.5, but with halves unavailable, I give it a 3 because the plot development speed and the showdown left me wanting for a bit more.

I've always loved ghost stories and anything in the paranormal field, but admittedly it took me a bit to get into this book. Not sure why, maybe just a reading slump, but eventually got into it.
It was an interesting story and take on the paranormal world and of how the ghosts affected the living.
Can't help but chuckle at the killing tool of the ol' trusty yellow, lol.
The characters had their identifying traits and I enjoyed Justine.
I will mention that though I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd, the multiple mentioning of the Harry Potter/ John Lennon glasses felt a bit overly mentioned. I would of preferred reading round rimmed glasses after the couple of mentionings.
It was a nice read. Will check out the series to see where it goes next.

Fun start to a series
This was a fun read. A good story with relatable characters and a plot that kept me reading. I’ll enjoy following the series.

Great read
I thoroughly enjoyed George's journey in this story. Parts gave me chills and others gave me little giggles. Definitely a series I want to continue with

What Haunts Me is a very well-written ghost story with writing that brought to mind one of Charles Dickens’ worlds. There’s something formal, classic, and almost nostalgic feeling about the story. For a contemporary tale, it’s unusually “clean”, as in no swearing or sex, which might really appeal to certain readers. I’m always on the lookout for errors, since I get a lot of my books from Bookbub and other Indie promotional sites, and this story has none...flawless!
The main character, George, a successful single businessman, begins to see ghosts hovering around ailing or addicted people. He discovers he possesses the power to make the ghosts disappear and heal the individuals they haunted, and that he hails from a powerful line of ghost killers. At first I believed the author was giving the entire premise away in the first chapter, but there's much more. Ms. Millmore has created an entire world where ghosts and ghost killers of different powers levels coexist. All of it is completely explained and completely believable. Just the right sequence of events between a ghost, a special and powerful ghost killer, and a human can enable the human to live with special powers and without aging for longer than a normal lifespan. As you can imagine, that has it’s appeal and there’s a villain who will stop at nothing to make it happen. What Haunts Me nicely sets up what I’m sure will be an interesting partnership of George and Billy, a woman, in future ghost hunting novels. About half way through, George explains with impatience, “Of course I know what a xxxx is, Billy!” I’m not giving away the word, but his comment stuck me as funny because I didn’t know what the word meant. Luckily it was explained as it’s an important concept in the book. See if you know...

Fantastic story with lots of imagination. Every now and then you come across a book that portrays a common subject, but finds a new interesting way to spin it all. Those are the books I love to discover and this is one of them. The plot is fun and moves along at a great pace keeping you at the edge of your seat. This was one of those that was difficult to put down, and one I started it took me no time at all to finish it.
The characters are a great mix of personalities and work well together. You can't help but fall in love with George and Billy. They seem "real", which makes this book such a gem. They have their struggles but you busy know if in trouble they wouldn't hesitate to help. Great heroes for this book.
This is a complete story but I could very really see this developing into a series, that I would most definitely read.
I have received this book from the author for an honest review. (LoP, Lovers of Paranormal).

Haunting with a twist.
December 20, 2024
There are other reviews that cover in detail a lot of my issues with this book. I will describe those in brief: the pacing, the relationships between characters feeling believable or lacking depth, and a weird sense of disconnect between our main character George as the narrator and George actually as the main character. I'm not going to go on about those issues because again, others have already pointed them out and done so in a thorough way.
I will say I got sick very quickly of the ghosts being described as wearing "Harry Potter glasses." That and several variations on that descriptor appear so many times, especially in the first handful or so of chapters it is exhausting to the point of being nauseating. You could make a drinking game of it and get liver poisoning. I understand why the author was trying to use that descriptor to paint a very specific image, but in way, it essentially creates a sameface effect for all the ghosts just by description alone.
Additionally, and this is in my opinion the biggest turn-off to this book, is the ableism. Our main character George becomes a "ghost killer." Essentially he sees these ghosts with round-frame glasses and if he pokes the ghost (yes you read that right, he literally pokes them) they kind of cease to exist. The point where the ableism comes in is that when he kill-pokes most of these ghosts, it turns out they were somehow harming a living person, and by kill-poking them, George miraculously heals the afflicted person as a result. Ableist language is used when describing the ailment of a child and how he cured her of her developmental disabilities as a toddler by kill-poking the ghost harming her. Additional examples follow, and by the time we reach the point of a disabled veteran soldier who lost limbs having said lost limbs magically restored and him able to walk again like nothing ever changed just because George kill-pokes a ghost, the author has officially lost any goodwill I had left and any willingness to give benefit of the doubt. This is highly ableist to have some guy magically healing people's various extreme ailments and disabilities because they just happen to be caused by vicious ghosts that can be destroyed. I'm not sure I've seen a single other review point out how ableist and White Savior this is.
I found this book because the weekly Fangoria teletype email recommended it for one of the Kindle daily deals as a free/cheap horror ebook, and they really hyped it up, so I wanted to give it a shot and I had some Kindle credit. Now I'm glad I didn't waste any actual money of my own on it. This was an extreme disappointment, and it really needed a sensitivity editor and beta readers. I can't even appreciate this as horror, any hope I had there was gone. The real horror is the ableism that dragged this book down and could have been avoided.

Diving into a new author's work always comes with a sense of anticipation, and this book did not disappoint. The pacing was brisk, ensuring a page-turning experience, while the characters were crafted with depth and authenticity, making them resonate with the reader. The exploration of demons and ghosts was particularly intriguing, blurring the lines between fiction and the paranormal, and lending a unique edge to the story. The conclusion came swiftly, hinting at a sequel that promises to expand on this fascinating universe. Eagerly awaiting its release, I'm keen to see where the author takes us next.

I really liked the concept and world building, but there was something about this book that felt off. Not believable. I think it’s that our protagonist slips too easily into expert mode, despite not having the experience. It felt too glib for him to attain such expertise in such a short time.
I think it would have been better if the plot of this had been stretched over several books, and each book focused on a “smaller”, more believable plotline.
I won’t be reading the rest of the books in the series.

I was so close to to DNF this book. The first 15% of this book is literally a man going around poking ghost lol. I was not about to read a book were a man wonders around poking ghost with his finger, let alone a number two pencil. 🤦🏻♀️
Finally the book picked up and reason was revealed and it actually turned into one of my favorite books. It was a new spin on  supernatural ghost hunting.

Interesting and has promise
Not bad and kept my attention.
Interesting idea but needs a lot more fleshing out and the narrative seemed a little simple at times. One plot hole that sticks in my head is what about all the victims where they had a whole care set up (beds, wheelchairs, massive debt, etc) and all of a sudden they're wondering why they have all that stuff?

i wasn’t fond of the writing style. although an interesting concept i just feel like it wasn’t executed well. reading this story i just couldn’t connect with anything. i hated george and billy. the “killing” of the ghosts was just too easy and the plot fell so flat for me. felt like nothing was truly at stake especially in the “battle” scene.
disappointing read.

What Haunts Me(Ghost Killer Book 1)
OMG!!!!!! This book was so much more then I expected and I loved every minute of it. It kind of gives you a different perspective on ghosts and demons, it's kind of a nice idea that someone could see these bad ghosts and demons, and can "kill" them,( or vanquish them). I can't wait to read the next book.

I did enjoy this book. Very easy read and pretty easy story line to follow! I plan to continue the series. This book would be just fine for teen, young adults and adults alike!
Ghost killing, demons, special powers, and a hidden past. This book had it all. Although interesting I found it to be almost too simple. Enjoyable enough though to move onto book two!

What haunts Me
Excellent story with ghosts (I love ghost stories), demons, and ghost killers. The characters are interesting and the story follows a good plot line that keeps you on your toes.

I think it was fun with good action and it's simplicity was an originality win. I only rate 4 instead of 5 because I was not convinced the main character was a man through the whole book. Otherwise, a quick fun read!

Kobo free downloads can be hits or misses. This was a miss for me. Did not enjoy the story and have no desire to continue on with the series.
Good points - writing style was decent and it was a short easy read

Both unsettling and amusing.
I really enjoyed this series starter and flew through it. There were parts that were intense and other sections that made me laugh a little. Definitely worth reading.
