Jesse is an apprentice exorcist who defies his priests when he learns his sister is in danger even though she’s dead. When he’s exiled to a haunted world, Jesse must unravel the mystery of ghosts if he is to save her. He plunges into a deadly game of hide-and-seek. The players include denizens draped in monkish robes, ghosts with matted eyes, the dead who tunnel underground in terror, and...Elspeth.
A coven scientist, Elspeth is both respected and feared for her abnormal spiritual powers. Jesse needs--craves--the knowledge of ghosts which she possesses. But is Elspeth a spiritual prodigy, or dangerously insane? The coven scientist begs him to trust her. He doesn’t. But he wants to.
Caught in a world on the brink of spiritual evolution, Jesse struggles to understand Elspeth even as frightening contacts from his sister force him to face the secret, shattering meaning of a verse he knows well: Blessed are the poor in ghost.
Goodreads Summary
I admit that I was quite confused when I first began reading. Jesse is a young exorcist with a
heavy conscious; Jesse believes that he is responsible for his sister’s death. Although she is dead, Jesse is not sure that his sister is safe. With the help of his friends, Jesse takes an epic journey into a haunting world full of mystery.
Cricket Baker’s novel had me guessing and questioning from beginning to end. Baker’s writing
style is unlike that of many writers of today. Less obvious and more subtle, but with great detail.
The plot is full of questions and twists and turns that the reader will not anticipate. Larger, more important questions are imbedded in the book, too. Quickly, the reader will realize that they will learn as much as Jesse on his quest. Baker wrote some great quotes that will stay with the reader long after they have read The Ghosting of Gods.

Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
