Simon Donatti, veteran ghost hunter, is left to pick up the grisly pieces after that business with the house on the hill. Something far more evil than ghosts is flooding the town, making the townspeople react in violent, murderous ways. A new group calling themselves the Children of Satan wreaks havoc across Harrow's Hamlet, threatening to destroy them all.
Drawn back into the fray to try to make amends, Simon uses every resource and contact he has to set things right and stop the pervading evil from pushing the hamlet past the point of no return.
But Simon has another problem. Someone is stalking him. A mysterious shadow, following him everywhere he goes, watching him as he sleeps. As Simon feels the evil tempting him, he starts to spiral out of control, leaving him an easy target for his relentless pursuer.
Standing on the precipice of good and evil, Simon must choose which side he's on. Fight back against the town's demons? Or be hunted down and consumed by them...
The second installment was just as fast paced as the first book and grabbed me from the first chapter!
Simon Donatti is back to continue the good fight against evil entities only this time he will have to go it alone. Howard isn't able to accompanying him on this newest adventure. The end of the last book takes the reader straight on the heels into this book as though it seemed to be all over in the last book it really wasn't as Simon and Howard released demons from the house and now they have invaded the town of Harrow's Hamlet.
The town becomes a cesspool of evil activity and Simon becomes so involved in trying to fix things that he realizes that he cannot conquer the evil by himself. He reaches out to a catholic priest that has been his friend for a long time to come to his aid. His friend arrives to help Simon and the two of them must battle not only the townspeople but the demons themselves if they want to make it out of Harrows Hamlet alive.
Satanic rituals along with a demonic theme is saturated throughout this whole book and it moves along quickly as the characters come alive within its pages!
From one chapter to the next I was wondering what was going to happen and it kept me glued to my kindle to see the outcome. I had the rating at four stars, but I am changing it to 4.5 and rounding it up to five as it was still a very amazing ride into terror!
Ghoststalker book 2 by Jeff DeGordick continues the story of the haunted house case that ended up being more deadly than expected. The released demons are wreaking havoc on the town and effecting many people in unexpected ways. Exciting and interesting!
Subsequent to the events of GHOSTHUNTER, Book 1, the entire community of Harrow's Hamlet, Connecticut, is subject to the entities released from the infected, abandoned, Prescott House. Simon would prefer to never return, but his moral compass impels, and his growing obsession with Odessa. daughter of the client who had hired him locate three missing boys, intensifies, so Simon calls in Father Fontana to repair the metaphysical damage Simon himself caused at Prescott House. Granted, he was deceived, but still ultimately responsible. Hair-raising and fatal encounters ensue.
This book jumps right in where the first book left off, and rapidly escalated the situation. Simon is in way over his head as the town’s population start becoming influenced by the demons he released. An evil cult is revealed an old fashioned battle of good and evil is waged. Fun stuff!
This is the 2nd book in the Ghosthunter series. I’m looking forward to the 3rd! A creepy read that is so full of action it kept me turning pages all night!
