A Special Book Review of Ghost Agents: The Ghost Agents Trilogy Book 1 by Author Nita DeBorde from our very own Author Anita Dickason!
“I believe in ghosts. I have to. It’s in my job description.”
I was hooked with the first three lines. And what followed didn’t disappoint. Ghost Agents is a well-crafted, thrilling, paranormal suspense with a bizarre twist that added to the book’s mystique.
Set against the backdrop of Galveston, Texas, an island with its own mysteries, ghosts, and rich culture, Author Nita DeBorde weaves a suspenseful tale. The combination of factual history and fiction is a page-turner that kept me enthralled, unable to stop reading.
Claire Abelard, a young woman who sells candy and hosts ghost tours, isn’t your typical undercover agent. This isn’t the FBI, CIA, DEA, or any other three-initial law enforcement agency. Claire works for the Bureau for Historical Preservation, a clandestine organization that monitors, even protects energy projections, or in everyday parlance—ghosts. A unique perspective I found fascinating, even to the detailed manual describing the organization.
When projections begin to disappear, Claire launches an unsanctioned investigation. One that could derail her career, especially after an earlier fiasco destroyed her credibility. Will anyone believe her this time?
The projections aren’t the only ones in danger when long-hidden secrets from the past bubble to the surface. Secrets that can kill.
Ghost Agents is an exciting plot with intriguing and endearing characters, living and dead, and even a light touch of romance. A five-star read and one I highly recommend.
About Ghost Agents
An organization that has operated in secret for centuries… a mystery that threatens to burn it all to the ground… and she’s the only agent who can stop it…
To the residents and tourists of Galveston Island, Claire Abelard is the friendly young woman who works at the local candy store by day and leads ghost tours of the island’s haunted locations by night. They don’t realize this persona is a cover for Claire’s real job as an agent of the Bureau for Historical Preservation, a clandestine organization that monitors and assists energy projections, or the entities more commonly known as “ghosts.”
When projections begin disappearing from around the island, Claire worries that history may be repeating itself. She launches a dangerous investigation and uncovers a sinister, arcane organization whose agenda threatens not only Galveston’s ghosts, but everything she has worked her whole life to protect.
The truth behind the disappearances rocks Claire’s world to its core and shows her that ghosts aren’t the only things that can come back to haunt you.
Ghost Agents is a genre-defying, cozy paranormal mystery, with a little sci-fi, romance, and Texas history thrown into the mix!
