Description

Ghost hunter Leo Brooks has made a career out of debunking the paranormal, armed with little more than a healthy dose of skepticism and a portable camera rig. He’s looking for the next viral hit, not genuine danger. But when he treks into the dark, rain-soaked underbelly of Portland to investigate a local legend, he discovers that the city's urban myths are far more than just campfire fodder. Reality begins to fray, and Leo finds himself caught in a lethal trap built from centuries-old malice. Enter Silas, a man with a mysterious connection to the supernatural and a need to keep his secrets buried deep. Forced into an unlikely partnership to survive the night, Leo and Silas are drawn together by a blistering, high-stakes chemistry that neither of them expected. As they navigate a gauntlet of vengeful spirits and hidden agendas, the line between the living and the dead—and between desire and survival—begins to blur. Stumptown Spirits is a gripping fusion of heart-pounding suspense and smoldering romance. It is a cinematic ride through Portland’s shadows, where the ghosts are real, the threats are personal, and the only thing more dangerous than the spirits is falling for a man you barely know.

Entertaining on more than one level!

When I bought this book I was looking for a fun read with a touch of romance and mystery. I enjoyed it very much. While Logan may be a bit heavy-handed in the way he attempts to control things, it worked for me. Nothing wrong with a pain in the butt hero so long as he pays his dues and learns from his mistakes. :) Riley is endearing. Just a great guy who gets more than his fair share of abuse from more than Logan, but who always maintains a sense of integrity no matter what. I especially liked how the paranormal elements flowed throughout the story. The author has a lovely talent for character interaction. I enjoyed her colorful characters. Her writing is very clean and crisp. Of course, I counted on the HEA ending and got that. An entertaining plot and strong writing made this one of my favorite reads. :)

Riley & Logan

This started off a bit slow for me but I get that that may have been do to having to get some of the backstory. Getting past that was so worth it though. I found myself sucked into this story and so anxious to see how things ended up. I'm looking forward to book two now. I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

What an incredible surprise!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was so much more! Loved the TV show premise and the actual ghost story. Lovable characters and a great mystery. I would think I had it figured out, then it would shift. I loved it!

Not sure how I missed this

If I’m reading this right, this is an early E.J. Russell book and I’m not sure how I missed it. Logan and Riley are quite the interesting couple and a few times, I found myself angry on Riley’s behalf and yet, like the character, I was rooting for Logan to stop being a deliberate jerk. Great paranormal arc with the ghost war and, of course, an HEA that took more work than most. Fans of this author will not be disappointed

Awesome!

Oh, man. This book. These characters! This is the kind of story where the longer I think about it now I'm done, the better I like it, and I loved it. So what are you waiting for? Go!
