There were so many exciting characters to fall in love with in this book, and lots of different personalities. Uncle Rufus was a particular favourite of mine, and I’d love to meet someone as intriguing and as eccentric as him. Mr Pig the parrot was another favourite of mine too. A parrot who swears and head bands to thrash metal… where can I get myself one of those?! I loved the friendship dynamic between Eve, Tom, and Clovis. They were more like family than friends, and they always took care of each other, no matter the danger, and there was plenty of it in this story. When Derek is possessed he is doing it consciously - all we are seeing is showmanship and dramatics." In September 2021, Anderson Press published the first book in Fielding's new series of books, The Ghost Hunter Chronicles, following tales of three friends. The first book in the series was titled The House in the Woods. The second book in the series, The Ripper of Whitechapel, again published by Anderson Press, was released in September 2022.

So, for those curious, this is the first book in a middle-grade/young clean YA following three young teens - Eve, Clovis and Tom - who decide that this Halloween will be spooky. They plan to go to a haunted house, in the middle of the woods, with a Ouija board, without telling their parents or guardians. And you can guess what happened next, can't you? A spokesman for LivingTV said: "Ciaran O'Keeffe has worked as the programme's official sceptic for 18 months and during this time has not brought any of his concerns to our attention.

Plus the comments on the Germans. Like it was a magical event for them to be in the UK. Um, hello? Airplanes? Smuggling? Boats? It is not as if, just because you are on an island, people cannot find a way in.

The storyline was definitely a whirlwind of ghostly encounters and spine tingling creepiness. It feels so real that you find it hard to separate the book and what you’re reading to you’re own reality (maybe that’s just me because I live with very mischievous poltergeist). Originally stated as Ghost Hunting With... Paul O'Grady and Friends, Paul O'Grady, Jennifer Ellison, Philip Olivier and Natasha Hamilton jet off to Italy to join Yvette Fielding as she investigates some of the most scariest and sinister locations Sicily has to offer. Yvette appeared on the Paul O'Grady Show in April 2008, where she explained with Paul, their experiences whilst filming for the show, during which Yvette and Paul both hinted the episode may be used as a Christmas Special. It might be cosy now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not haunted. She tells me about the time she came down and couldn’t get into the room because a chair had been pushed up against the door. “When I eventually pushed my way through, all these chairs were arranged in a pyramid on the table. I absolutely freaked out because I was on my own.”Does she not fear death? “Can’t wait for the adventure,” she says cheerfully. “I’ve been shown what it’s like. I asked my dad, who has passed on, what it’s like, and he showed me twice in a very vivid dream. I was flying through the windscreen of a car; the noise was like jet engines. I can see the glass spinning around me in slow motion, I’m flying through the air but there’s no fear. Then this incredible feeling comes over me. I can’t even give you the words. Whatever more than love is – acceptance, beauty, bliss – it’s more than that …” The characters of Clovis, Eve and Tom are fun, their excitement and escapades reminding me of the Enid Blyton Famous Five hijinks. Clovis is a budding scientist and all around facts geek, also deemed the cynic in their group, second-guessing everything. Tom is into his football and avoiding his overbearing father at home, and Eve lives with her loving but sometimes eccentric inventor uncle who has always kept his inventions and workshop to himself. He will be crazy-mad if he knew what they are about to do. This is the second instalment in The Ghost Hunter Chronicles. I haven’t read the first book, The House in the Woods, but that did not impact at all on my enjoyment of this volume.

Whilst I loved the paranormal aspect of the book and the friendships the children have, especially how they are there for one another when family matters arise, I found once the initial scary opening scene had passed the book seemed to slow right down and it took quite a while for anything more to occur and I did get a little bored.I love books where the young characters are treated by adults with respect. Eve, Clovis and Tom have proven their worth in the past, so Detective Inspector Rutherford has no hesitation in making them part of the team, under the guidance of Uncle Rufus. And now I’m done with spooky reads, had so much fun choosing scary and not so scary books. See ya next Halloween! 👻👻👻 The first half is supposed to be scary – I think – but instead of creating a slow, creeping spookiness, the a In The Ghost Hunters novel, a ghost had been a serial killer, now he roams the graveyard searching for someone or anyone to kill. I had HIGH hopes for this one, I am all about ghost hunting and seek out books about it, but also, if available series and movies. So I was very excited about this one. Sadly, while there were good moments it just wasn’t all up to my expectations and there were things that just threw out the momentum. I will be doing a good/not so good review.

Then there is Eva’s uncle Rufus, who is just his own very special character. His inventions are actually really good, and I do wonder if they could work in the real-world.. well some of them, some of them are little far out there.
