About the author
Ron Ripley
252 books509 followersRon Ripley is a husband and father surviving in New England, a place which seems to be getting colder every day. He grew up across from a disturbingly large cemetery where he managed to scare himself every night before going to bed. Mostly because of the red lights that people put in front of the headstones. Those things are just plain creepy to a kid.
Ron enjoys writing horror, military history and driving through the small towns of New England with his family, collecting books and giving impromptu lectures on military history to his family, who enjoy ignoring him during those dreadful times.

I've been on a Shane Ryan binge read for the past few weeks. I can't seem to get enough of this flawed hero and I wish him a long and exciting life. Soul Master wraps up yet another Shane series in explosive fashion. Mrs. Gillian's school is still doing its evil deeds and it falls to Shane and his allies, etherial though they may be, will need to rise to the challenge. The final climactic scene is well wort the wait. As a bonus, there is a surprising twist included in the epilogue.
Shane Ryan has grown from a damaged combat veteran to a seasoned and very skilled ghost hunter. His adventures never disappoint. Gimme more!

I've really been enjoying this series and I love seeing what Shane is up to same ole Shane kicking butt and taking names. If you love horror this book is right up your alley it got two much action in it you will not get bored and you will be glued to the book turning pages as fast as you can. I love seeing alot of the old gang from Tom to frank and I'm always happy to see Karl and Eloise. I highly recommend this book to be added to your tbr list you so won't regret it.

wonderful
This book is seriously fantastic. The best ending to this mini series there could be. I will recommend reading more of Ron Ripley’s work before diving into this, you will get much more out of it.

Amazing
Honestly, this series is not the kind I usually read, but after Book 1, I was hooked. I could wait to get to the next book. Shane surprises me in every book. I want more. I can't wait for the next book. I hope there will be a next one.

Shane Ryan I just can't get enough of him.. I hate seeing him so heart broken. I can't believe frank didn't share where he acquired the ghost from

Excellent
The story involves kidnapping and child murder. It is creepy to the max, very violent and very well written. The ending is also totally unexpected.

Can one ever get tired of Shane Ryan? The answer is NO!
In this book, Shane is haunted by some pretty painful memories, and not even whisky is drowning this pain. But when a new problem rears its head, Shane heads off to see what he can do, or die trying, which is not totally against. However, he is going to find that he has some unlikely allies - both dead and alive, that are willing to help him put an end to this human trafficking ring, and save the souls of the young ladies that are trapped in the "school."
Fabulous, and hard to put down!
