Publisher's summary

Ivy Granger, psychic detective, thought she'd seen it all...until now.

With a vengeful lamia that only she can see on the city streets, reports of specters walking Harborsmouth cemeteries, and an angry mob of faerie clients at her office door, it's bound to be a long night. Add in an offense against the faerie courts and a few foolish bargains and one thing is clear - Ivy Granger is in some seriously deep trouble.

Ivy Granger is back, gathering clues in the darkest shadows of downtown Harborsmouth. With the lives of multiple clients on the line, she's in a race against time. Ivy finally has a lead to the whereabouts of the one person who can help her control her wisp abilities, but will she put the needs of her clients above her own?

If Ivy doesn't find a solution soon, she could wind up a ghost herself.

Ghost Light is the second novel in the best-selling Ivy Granger urban fantasy series by E. J. Stevens.

Another great book for listening to.

Would you consider the audio edition of Ghost Light to be better than the print version?

E. J. Stevens and Tracie Odom does it again. It's always a good sign that you have the right combination when the second book is as good as the first.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost Light?

Finding the softer side of the kelpie king.

Which character – as performed by Traci Odom – was your favorite?

Ivy Granger, she brings her to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, and cried and gasped in horror and sometimes all at once.

Any additional comments?

Please continue this duo in further Ivy Granger series.

Ghost Light Review

I liked this story quite a bit. It was great for its genre. I accidentally listened to this before Shadow Sight but it worked. I think this can be listened to just fine as a stand alone but going in order is always best.

I can't type too much for having extensive work done on my shoulder and a lot of pain. Unforeseen issue.

Traci Odom did a better job on this one than Club Nexus. My only thing is the sharp, hard edged voice of a few characters. I still think it would be better read in a normal voice with inflections.

Audiobook received in exchange for an honest review.

Fun to listen too!

Would you consider the audio edition of Ghost Light to be better than the print version?

I woudn't know I have only listened to it and will probably continue to listen as I love the narrator.

Have you listened to any of Traci Odom’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only listened to this series but she will be a narrator I will watch for to get more books from as long as it's a genre I love. :)

Any additional comments?

In the first book Ivy finds out that she is not all human and now she is dealing with figuring out who she is and she has her first boyfriend, the kelpy king she helped from the first book.

Life isn't all roses though because she finds out that kids from the paranormal community are going missing and she has to deal with Ceff's ex-wife. She really must find her father and have him help her figure out how to contain her magic before she upsets the fairy courts for not being able to control her light.

Not a dull moment when your with Ivy Granger! My favorite character is still the young troll as he is so truthful and he cracks me up.

Loved this book as much as the first one! Great fun and I recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal/urban fantasy type books.

My go-to genre...

This story was just what I needed. Urban fantasy is kinda my go-to genre when I need a break from whatever else that I've been reading... This story is like the proverbial bowl of chips, and I bet you can't read just one... P.I. Ivy Granger is on the case as she investigates multiple missing/kidnapped children for the fae comunity... Ivy actually solves the case fairly quickly and I was surprised to find that there was still a couple of hours of book left. I think she's probably written one of the longest epilogues ever, LOL ... But believe it or not there really was a lot of tale left to tell... 
  Is this great prose? Not really... but it's great fun, and for me, it was a welcome break from that weighty tome that I'd been reading. Treat yourself to a good time, and get Ghost Light!

Entertaining!

Very enjoyable continuation of Ivy’s story. Lots of action, great characters, and an intriguing mystery to solve.

Outstanding developements!

**Audiobook was provided by the author for an honest review**

In this edition of the Ivy Granger Series, Ivy is knee deep in a serious case. Ivy has an incredible encounter with her boyfriend's dead wife! YIKES!! Although Ceff's ex is a present danger in their lives, the experience takes them into uncharted territory within their relationship. On the back burner, but rearing it's ugly head is Ivy's past, her heritage, her unknown real father. Ivy has been ignoring the fact that she is half fae, but now her abilities are coming forth and pushing her into a frantic hurry to learn how to tamp them down. Can Ivy figure out how ghost's are appearing live, find the missing fae children, and learn the truth about her father all before she gets herself killed?? What a ride I had finding out!

The more I learn about Ivy and her past, the more anticipation I feel for what is to come! Ivy is destined for greatness and she has no idea what is in store! And the development in her relationship with the Kelpie King Ceff, had me giddy with joy as I listened! I can't hold my excitement in for this awesome new series that has been bestowed upon me! Now that we, (Ivy) knows what she is dealing with, (kinda) we can begin the journey that will hopefully unite her people and save her father! Book 3, Club Nexus is already downloaded and ready to go!

Narrator Review

Traci Odom returns! YES! I love Traci :) She has a firm, no nonsense voice when narrating, but when it comes to her character voices, she completely transforms! Traci is a delight to listen to, and truly brings the story to life! I give Traci 4 Stars for her performance!

Love the series!

urban-fantasy, series, friendship

I like this series because it's great escapism, good writing, and there are always twists and surprises. This installment lets the reader get to know the regular characters a lot better. The publisher's blurb is somewhat informative this time.
I was absolutely delighted to get it as Whispersync on the cheap, and Traci Odom does really fine audio interpretation.

great second

loving it!!
I love we get more of Ceff and Ivy together!
the narrator is so enjoyable that I'm actually kind of anxious about the next book when there's a new reader..

Another Great Story in the Ivy Granger Series

Ghost Light, as the second book in the Ivy Granger series, Ivy has made a lot changes in her life since we first met her in book one. She has learned that she is a fairy princess. Her father is Will-O-the-Wisp, king of the Wisps. She doesn’t remember her father, so this was a complete surprise when she learned this information late in the previous book. In this story, she learns what it means to be a fairy princess. She is dating Ceff, the Kelpie king. Lastly, her business has taken off after she saves the day in Shadow Sight.

This story starts with many of the fae showing up at her PI office because they are missing their children. Ivy has the task of trying to find all of these fae kids before anything happens to them. She also thinks she is seeing Ceff’s estranged lamia, or sea snake, wife around Harborsmouth. If that isn’t enough, she is having a hard time controlling her new fae powers and her skin keeps glowing when it is most inconvenient.

Ivy meets a new fae leader who is willing to align himself with her and help her along this journey. His name is Torn and he is a cat sidhe. He is a very mischievous cat at that, but I really like him. Ivy, Ceff and Jinx go to a fae club in Harborsmouth called Club Nexus to find Torn. This is when Ivy is forced to come out of the closet as a wisp princess. Club Nexus is an experience. Each of the different types of fae have their own little section set up just for them. It was a very interesting adventure just going through the club and seeing the politics.

Once again, I really enjoyed this part of Ivy’s life. We got to learn a lot about her father. She had to come some very hard truths. She even worked to patch up her relationship with her mother. Her relationship with Ceff continues to grow. They were even able to tough for the first time. I’ve really liked watching Ivy grow and can’t wait to get to the next books in the series.

Narration
I’ve really enjoyed Tracy Odom’s narration of this series. I think she does a great job bringing out all the different personalities of the different types of fae. I like her male and female voices and her pacing is perfect for me. I loved the voice that she did for the cat sidhe, Torn.

Very enjoyable

This was a very enjoyable book. The narrator has done a wonderful job of narrating. The author has done an outstanding job of creating each character.
