Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls

Publisher's Summary

When M.J. Holliday and the crew of her cable TV show, Ghoul Getters, venture to the haunted ruins of Dunlow Castle in Ireland, drawn by the legend of hidden treasure, they hope the road will rise up to meet them, that the wind will always be at their backs-and that the resident phantom won't push them off a cliff. If they treasure their lives, M.J. and her ghost busters need to get the drop on the menacing phantom.

Critic Reviews

“Reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's bunch, Laurie's enthusiastic, punchy ghost busters make this paranormal series one teens can also enjoy.” (Publisher’s Weekly)

Scooby-dooby-doo!

This series still reminds me of a Scooby-doo episode. I enjoyed it - entertained all the way through. Though Gilly gets on my nerves - not really sure why they bring him on their trips when he tends to cause more problems then he solves.

Best ghost hunter out there

If you could sum up Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls in three words, what would they be?

spooky castle, treasure

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would say Gilly, his off the cuff remarks to MJ most of the time have me cracking up.

What does Eileen Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

gives each of the characters life

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, I found my self wanting to listen to this book during any free time that I had and finished it quickly only to dowload the next one in the series and listen to that one too.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend that you check out the previous titles in this series. Not because they aren't stand alone books all by themselves but the other books are also really good and you get a little bit more back ground on the characters.

I didn't pick out the bad guy and was surprised...

This was another good story and the ending was a pleasant surprise. Usually I figure them out ahead of time.

Uh oh. I just realized I left the comment about the messy kitchen on the wrong review. It's supposed to be on this one. Okay, well here is my pet peeve. The kitchen seemed WAY too messy in the description after their chase through the kitchen at the Inn. Food dripping from the ceiling? Really? It just didn't seem realistic to me. Of course, maybe I'm neat in my chase scenes through a kitchen.

The accidents that kept happening with people around M.J. also seemed extreme, but I've never been on a ghost hunt or had a demon chase after me, so I could be wrong.

Other than those pet peeve comments, I enjoyed the story overall. The ghosts at the castle were a good part of the story at the end.

Gilly remained a bit of a fingernail on the chalkboard sensation at times. Like when he raced ahead on the causeway and fell.... uh, okay. But his dropping something important and then being forgiven so readily? Or easily?

The stories are a good read and are definitely something I've enjoyed throughout the whole series. They're probably good for teenagers too, but not for younger children.

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Love this series! A little mystery, a little scary a LOT of fun! M.J.'s friend, Gilly, is my favorite! Definitely a must read series! Eileen Stevens is a very good narrator for this series!

Another good read

I always enjoy a new book from Victoria Laurie. Story line moves on a timely basis and the book does keep you interested. Eileen does a good job of reading this novel. Looking forward to next book.

gil please

gils has such a whinny funny side but man he can grate my last nerve. he seems to forget that mj is why he has a job. please man up or at least be gay enough to have manners. i have never met a gay man that is so whinny rude and self absorbed as gil. he is funny and does make the stories but he has gone to far and takes away from what i think is right. i love the book and the story just a few tweeks on gil would be better. ready for the next one.

Another great mystery

Love the series! I'm never disappointed by this author, as well as the narrator. Well done!

Disaponted

I enjoyed the series and each of the story line but disappointed that she chose Heath in stead of Steven. Do not get me wrong I like Heath but I like Steven better. You can love a rich guy just as well as a poor guy. She is independent to much some times. There is a line being independent and a line of being stupid. To much pride can be your down call. She never let Steven spend his money on her. He offer why not accept what he offer he had more than enough money and willing to share. Yep very disappointed she to Heath over Steven.

As always

I love this series, as I do all of Victoria Laurie's books. I should start by saying that I've probably listened to this entire series at least 5 times, and this is the first time I noticed this.... MJ was kind of bitchy in this one. Mind you, if I lead her life, I would be a beast every single day, but it was just surprising given her kind heart so far. It could have simply been from the narrator's inflection, as she changes things up a little here and there, but as the great Gillespie would say, Jesus Christ MJ!
No matter, it was a smashing success & I love that all the characters have their moments, flaws, and bad hair days. If it weren't for that, they would not hold my heart so dearly.
