I had a lukewarm reception to the first Ghost Files Book, Ghost College.  I liked the premise but I really wasn't into the characters too much.  But being a fan of Rain and Nicholson I picked this one up to see where the series was headed.  I'm glad I did because this one fleshes them both out a bit more, especially Ellen.This book is told from two perspectives.  First person for Monty but then it shifts to third person for the more Ellen-heavy parts.  At first I was a little confused as to what was going on.  The first novel was told strictly in first person from Monty's perspective.  Once I got into it however I liked the change.  I found it a good way to get a better feel for Ellen and what she does.  Considering that she's really the paranormal muscle in the series it made sense to get to know her from something other than Monty's perspective.As far as the story goes, it's already been explained in the book description so I won't go too heavily into that.  But there is a twist in the theme of the book that goes beyond 'mere' ghosts that made this one really interesting.A short read but fun and entertaining.  It's pretty self contained as it doesn't reference the first one too much but I would say go back and read Ghost College first and then this one in order to get the full experience.I admit I've never heard of nor have I read any of Evelyn Klebert before but after reading this I think I'll see what else she's written.Good fun with some creepy atmosphere and good down to earth character moments, or as close to 'down to earth' as a couple of paranormal ghost hunters can get ;)
