Publisher's summary

Paranormal investigator Ellie Jordan faces a new case in an apartment building where a twisted, dangerous entity emerges from closets and doorways to terrorize the residents at night. A powerful spirit, it feeds on fear and takes the shape of its victims' worst nightmares. Ellie and her mentor, Calvin, have tried to capture the same entity before, in a different house nearby, an attempt that ended in disaster. Now, with the help of her apprentice, Stacey, Ellie must try again to capture the elusive shape-shifting ghost before it can claim another soul as its own.

Intelligent mix of mystery and horror

A well written mix of mystery and horror showing how innocents need champions to protect them. the narration was excellent with the right touch of sadness.

Good Ghost Trapper

I found this a good story with a twist I did not see coming. I really enjoy the characters, the seriousness of the main character, and the glibness of her assistant. I like that they dig into history to locate the right person/ghost causing the problems.

Doesn't usually write a review

For someone who doesnt usually write reviews, this is the second one I have written in 2 days. Understand my review is just for my copy of The Crawling Darkness. Overall I would give this book 4 stars. I liked the storyline. It wasn't a standard ghost story. Give the story 4.5 stars. The performance is the problem. Please note I didn't say the Narrator, I said the performance. Narrator was very good. The audio however was terrible. Skipped words and phrases. Repeats. Long pauses where they shouldn't be. And this, part of a chapter that was otherwise read excellently, was repeated over and over and over. Not just a sentence or two, but 6 to 8 minutes of dialog. So for the Audio performance 3 stars. Hope this makes sense.

excellent ghost story!

i was very pleasantly surprised to find this logical ghost story! solid plot. intelligent characters. some intense and scary moments—scary enough that i kept the lights on while reading late at night! The scary parts were nicely balanced with humor, explanations how this story universe worked, and even the beginning of a sweet romance. There is so much to appreciate about this book. And even though I found one of the main characters very annoying, Stacy was a believable modern woman and never backed down in tough situations. All in all I highly recommend this book!

So Creepy

We finally get the details on the case that paralyzed the boss, but I have to admit that maybe it's more than I bargained for... This book in the series has got to be the creepiest.

This book gets really gets creepy! I thought the others were bad, this takes scary a step further! I like a good ghost story that has a touch of humor, great characters, characters searching the history of the case, clues, a good scare, and of course some interesting ghosts! This series has all of this!
This series also has a great narrator! Great job!
