Ghost Handled

Rate this book
Wade was once terrified of Jason’s obsession with spirits, but now that he knows his own abilities a little better, he’s more than willing to go along with his boyfriend Jason on another adventure. But three? It was his idea to investigate three haunted locations in three nights, but not knowing much about the places worries him. After all they've been through, he knows he can trust Jason to keep them safe.

A lot has changed the past two years. Jimbo and his boyfriend Dean have also joined the team. Much to Jimbo’s reluctance, and Dean’s delight. They agree to travel along with Wade and Jason for this trifecta of haunted houses, but Jimbo might have some surprises up his sleeve that have nothing to do with ghosts. Now if only they can make it through three nights of ghost hunting. A gay paranormal romance thriller

4.5 stars.. I read this as a standalone book not having read the previous books. I love ghost books and this one is a great story. Danger, freindly ghost and some not so freindly, and a suprise included. I loved Wade's mum she's a hoot. Yah I need to go back and read the other books before this one to see how they all meet up.

Jason and Wade have been together for 2 years. Together with James (aka Jimbo) and Dean they form the Running Scared Paranormal team. A three night tour to investgate a saloon, salon and the Gibson House.

Spook-tacular

I adore the Running Scared Paranormal crew so much. Wade and Jason, grumpy Jimbo and Dean never fail to make me smile, laugh and yes, sigh at their ghost hunting antics. “Who would have thought hunting ghosts would help us both find love.” I’m not sure any of them quite expected all that they’ve experienced to find love but I for one am so glad we’ve get to tag along—but I think I’ll leave the hunts to them. Another fantastic, spook-tacular adventure but watch out there’s some tricks hidden along with the treats.

Jason and Wade are coming into their own as they chase ghosts as is Jimbo and Dean. Wade's mom not so much, although she wants to go on a ghost hunt. The four of them do decide to go ghost hunting and decide that three hauntings in three days sounds like a lot of fun. It is but Jimbo has something up his sleeve at the third case and the others are not informed. A ghostly good, entertaining story that is light, spooky, but not too spooky, and just in time for the halloween season. Did I mention loving and sexy?

I was so excited to hear BL Maxwell would be releasing Ghost Valley Book 3 before Halloween! It's the 5th book in her Valley Ghosts series and the perfect spooky read. I love these men so much.

Ghost Handled picks up after the events of Ghost Trapped and Ghost Hexed. The Running Scared Paranormal gang have been chasing spirits for about 2 years now with Dean and Jimbo completing their team. Jason and Wade are gearing up for their next adventure with Jimbo and Dean. Originally, Jason and Wade were planning to explore Preston Castle but then Jason realized the sheer size of the Castle might be too much for the Running Scared Paranormal team. So what do they do? Wade decides to keep their next adventure local and explore 3 haunted houses in 3 days. That means 3 times as much fun with Jimbo, Dean, Wade and Jason!

Once all three spots have been selected, the whole gang and Deidre encounter spirits, spooks, snark and fun in the latest Valley Ghosts series. It was really great seeing Jimbo adjusting to his role as a beacon and being able to control his ability. Jimbo and Dean are great assets and a wonderfully snarky couple that help strengthen the team. There are plenty of surprises, spooks, oozy ectoplasm, and mysteries in this latest novel. Once again, BL Maxwell wrote a 5-star book and did a brilliant job writing each scene. I can't wait for the next adventure with the Running Scared Paranormal Gang! LOVE THE WHOLE CREW even if I do make the mistake of reading her ghostly books at night :)

A must-read

Where to start, the new company Wade, Jason, Jimbo and Dean decide to have a long weekend away visiting three different haunted places.
Wade's mum decides to accompany them despite warnings from the boys, and she believes it to be a great idea.
Jimbo picks the third haunted building and has a surprise in-store. Such a great addition to the series. I enjoyed this one so much; we have spooky parts, humour, love and feelings in large quantities—definitely, a must-read.

Even though I wouldn't say I like horror films and ghosts, I adored these books, and they don't make me jump, which is always a bonus. Also, I love the dynamics between the main characters and their friends and family.

The narration was OK, but I did wince at some of the characters performed by Allen Jefferies, especially the female voices. This was a short read/listen and was made shorter by increasing the speed, which is typical for me.

This is book 3 in the Valley Ghosts series and although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading it in the series order for maximum enjoyment since the characters relationship is established in the previous books of this series.

Here we follow Jason and Wade as they explore three Haunted places in three nights.
I love the Running Scared Paranormal team and look forward to their hijinks and shenanigans.
It was nice reconnecting with the crew especially Jason and Wade and Jimbo and Dean.
Seeing their relationships evolve was exciting and definitely a fun adventure.
This was another spooktacular adventure in this series.

If you are in the mood to embark on a fun, spooky adventure, you will love this.

I have fallen in love with this series and the whole gang. Jason & Wade are happily living together, and it's decided they will do 3 haunting investigations over 3 days. They aren’t as scary or spooky as previous cases, but they are just as terrifying. I adored that Wade's mum came along with them on the 2nd case. She got a big dose of what these cases are really like. They well and truly scared her quiet, and that is hard to do! My favourite was the final stop, but not for what you may think. Let me just say that Jimbo is full of surprises!

A new adventure for our favourite ghost hunters!
I love that Jason and Wade decide to make it a “fun weekend” by going on three different haunted places, one for each night. Of course what they think will be relatively “easy” cases won’t always be exactly a walk in the park, and the last one will be a surprise no one expects!

I loved this book. When Jason realizes Preston Castle might be to big a job. Wade comes up with the idea to visit 3 different haunted locations in 3 nights. Jimbo and Dean are now in the group. So be ready for some spooky haunts, funny moments and romance with the Running Scared Paranormal crew.

So good! Like all the other books in the series, it was well written and had a great mix of spooky and sweet. Plus it has not one but three investigations! Love!

Funny and spooky

I am totally in love with this series. I actually read this book some time ago but forgot to leave a review. In this book all the guys decide to take on 3 different possible hauntings in 3 days. What a chore. There are laughs a plenty to go along with the spooky happenings and a little something sneaky from Jimbo I totally wasn't expecting. A definite must read. Can't wait for the next book.
