Product Description:
Victoria Laurie's ghoulishly great follow-up to What's a Ghoul to Do? in her new Ghost Hunter Mystery series
Northelm Boarding School on Lake Placid has the worst bully of all-a demon by the name of Hatchet Jack. M.J. Holliday, along with her partners Gilley and the handsome Dr. Steven Sable, are ready to send him back to the portal from whence he came. The school's summer construction, an uncooperative dean, and the very tempting Dr. Delicious are all trying to distract M.J. from her ghost hunting. But with a demonic disturbance as great as Hatchet Jack, she must focus and show no mercyto send him to detention for an eternity-in hell.

I didn't care too much for "Whats a Ghoul To Do". I liked the idea of M.J. the ghostbusting heroine sending ghosts to heaven or the otherworld. I was annoyed by the character of Dr. Steven Sable and his messed up dialect on every other page. The mystery didn't hold my attention very well either. I chalked this up to a fun idea gone badly. So its taken nearly a year for me to pick up the subsequent book "Demons Are A Ghoul's Best Friend". I'm still not sure why I did. Imagine my pleasure to discover this a keeper. Here M.J., Gilley, and (oh no!) their new partner Dr Steven are investigating an ax wielding ghost attached to a boarding school. There is (as other reviewers have suggested) much less of Dr. Steven, and when he is involved, he wasn't quite as annoying as before. He is still a character I think Laurie would do well to ditch. As a team of two Gilley and M.J. were a hoot. This mystery was far superior to the very first one, and the ghost scenes (always the best) were plentiful. This is a fun, page turner and to anyone on the fence after the very first one, I can only suggest you give the second one a try.

I picked this book up after reading the very first book in the series & was eager to learn more about my favorite characters. While I enjoyed this book thoroughly, there were a few parts to the book that had my eyes rolling at times.
This current book finds MJ being recruited by Teeko to hunt down a psychotic ghost by the name of "Hatchet Jack" that haunts the ultra priviledged school that her niece attends. Along for the ride are her teammates Gilley (old friend) & Steven (the love interest). The only bad thing is that while everyone knows about the ghost, no one wants to speak about it!
OK. I did enjoy this book, but there were some rough parts to it. I got a little creeped out at times by Steven, who at one point climbs into her bed & starts trying to paw her while she was sleeping. While I'm sure that's not how the author meant it to appear like, it made Steven seem like a creepy letch who likes to climb into unconcious women's beds. There are better ways to have romantic development... The other thing that bothered me was the constant need to have showy developments of power whenever anyone disbelieved MJ. While it's cool at first, it eventually seems a little farfetched that she's that psychic all the time or that every disbeliever has a family or friend who is trying to contact them from the world beyond. Gilley irritated me at times, but he's not completely unbelievable as I've known quite a few people who are like him.
Even so, I still enjoyed the book, flaws & all. It's not particularly deep writing, but then I doubt that any of her readers are really looking for Tolstoy in a book entitled "Demons are a Ghoul's Best Friend".
3.5/5

I got this book with a collection I bought and immediately looked up amazon reviews. The wide variation lead me to read the book because I was curious as to why. The concept is good and the mystery better. It's not shakespeare, but if you are getting this kind of book I would hope you would know better than to expect that. Yes it is a quick read, but one I found enjoyable. I may just have to buy the first.

The title alone was intriguing enough to get my attention. I read this book and loved it...storming through all of Ms Laurie's books!! This is a fun read, different from most other things I have read..BUT I LOVED IT....cannot wait for the subsequent book! If you are looking for a fun summer read, this is it. I laughed, I cried!!

I was looking for a new author. I picked this book. Sorry I did. The characters lacked depth and Gilley and M.J. left me cold. This could have been a good book, had the author taken the time to put some emotions into her characters and added little more substance to the plot.
A waste of my time and money.
