Magic is real, and hungry—trapped in ancient texts and artifacts, only a few who discover it survive to fight back. Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. Freshly awake to just what dangers are lurking, she joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad: Team Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum. Together they stand between humanity and magical apocalypse. Some call them the Bookburners. They don’t like the label.
"Ghosts" is the fourth episode of Bookburners Season 2, presented by Serial Box Publishing. This serial will unfold in 13 episodes.
Hi! My name is Margaret and I write for the small and smaller screens.
I live in Southern California, where I torment the other members of the Bookburners writing team with weather reports and brace myself for the earthquake that will turn Burbank into oceanfront property.
In addition to the books in my profile you can also find my work on The Middleman (ABC Family), Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix 2019), and The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
A fun mixing of magic and technology, GHOSTS is one of the more interesting episodes of this season of Bookburners yet.
There's a lot packed into this episode, and I enjoyed the way that doors were opened for further future discoveries about the team members' pasts, especially Liam's. Though this episode seemed to reference some events of the previous season, I wasn't ever lost or confused, I was always able to keep track of what was going on.
The mixing of the magical and the technological is something that was very interesting, and I'd love to see more of that in future episodes. The magic in the Bookburners world is fascinating, and I enjoy it's evolution and learning about it as the team learns about it.
If any complaints, this episode was, to me, not as witty as previous episodes, but that did not detract from my enjoyment of it.
All in all, this was, as always, an enjoyable jaunt through the Bookburners universe.
Not so much that anything big or remarkable happens: but I dig the setting of this one, one member of the order makes a Decision, and another begins to unlock a secret trapped in their own mind. Developments...
