The Ghosts of Morpeth (Amy Stuart, Paranormal Blogger)

What do Voodoo spirit bottles have to do with the ghosts in an Australian touristy village? Plenty, as Amy Stuart discovers to her detriment. Morpeth, once an early river port of Australia but now famous for its ghosts, plays host to Amy's latest paranormal mystery. Amy Stuart, journalist and blogger for a paranormal magazine, is back from London, having been made Keeper of a Society about which she knows nothing. Her caffeine habit is out of control, as is her job security. Even her life is left in the balance, as Amy's Editor sends her to write about the ghosts of Morpeth. In danger, in shapewear and in debt, Amy matches wits against an unseen enemy. He attacks Amy with natural and unnatural means, while Amy hits back hard with facts. The Ghosts of Morpeth is the second book in the Amy Stuart Occult Mystery series. It is not necessary to read the first book in the series (The Dashwood Haunting) to enjoy this book, but it is advisable. REVIEWReview of The Dashwood Haunting, Book 1 in the Amy Stuart Occult Mystery Series.The Dashwood Haunting is a fast-paced, enjoyable read. For history enthusiasts there are tons of interesting facts and anecdotes of the past and intriguing tales of secret societies and alchemists. Amy is a down-to-earth young woman that female readers will easily identify with. Smart, witty and single but very much up for some harmless fun, she is a joy to read as she comes to grips with English culture and their love of drinking tea. Nyland throws in lots of pop culture references Buffy, X-Files, the demise of Murdoch's News of the World, which affords the story a contemporary feel. Light but intelligent reading.
