The Ghost Lights of Forrest Field by M.L. Bullock

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read another ebook last night. It was The Ghost Lights of Forrest Field by ML Bullock, and it’s the 6th installment in the “Gulf Coast Paranormal” series of spooky mysteries. Main characters are GCP members, Cassidy Wright and Midas Demopolis.

The GCP team is asked to investigate strange blue lights that have been seen near an archaeological dig at the site of an old fort. The flashbacks that Cassidy gets as she paints her visions shows that a young girl living at the fort had seen the lights and followed them, while her friend chased after her and died after touching one of the lights. New team member Aaron is convinced that the mysterious lights are elementals, which his Native American heritage warns against interacting with. However, if the team is going to put this particular haunting to rest, they will need to delve into the past to bring peace in the present.

This was an engrossing story. It was creepy without being terrifying (I’m too old to be terrified!), and the flashbacks from the past added some interesting perspective. I enjoyed reconnecting with familiar characters and meeting new ones.

Favorite line: ”What self-respecting ghost hangs out in the boonies?”

Very good, four stars.
