This was a lot of fun! Just like the first two books.

I loved following John Smith, even though I may not have his sense of humour.

I loved the crazy characters, and it was never boring.

Maybe a bit much of John's jokes for me though, (or the other characters' jokes), but I still enjoyed it.

An amazing read with intriguing characters.It was the first time I read a fantasy comedy. It was interesting and intelligent at the same time.The characters were so vibrant and well designed.Just can't suffice the amazing experience in a few words. Thoroughly enjoyed the read.can't wait to read the next book in the series !

Tullbane's third in the John Smith series continues to show why he should be spoken of highly within the realm of urban fantasy - his books continue to deliver fast action, witty banter, incredible worldbuilding and just overall greatness. Tullbane also leaves his books approachable - one could jump in in the middle of the series and not feel entirely lost, which seems to be a hallmark of a great urban fantasy series (so often found out of order at the library or with only one book on the shelf at the store). Between the John Smith series and the Murder of Crows series, Tullbane has shown his chops across settings, across characters and across sub-genres - what more can you ask from a great writer?

Oh boy! It is never a dull moment for John. In this next installment in the series, Ghost of a Chance, John gets hired by the White Ladies of San Diego, to find their missing leader who they suspect has been kidnapped. Okay, no big deal. Just another missing person case, right? Except, the White Ladies are ghosts! Is it even possible to kidnap a ghost? John is about to find out.

This series just gets better and better. This time around John is investigating a missing person…? Is it still a missing person’s case if the person is already dead? He has the help of Juliette, aka the Duchess of Snark, to help him out. Not that he asked her for help but do to her current*Ahem* situation she herself with *cough-cough* a bit of free time (among other things) on her hands. This should be interesting. But wait, there’s more! There’s a new mediator in town and hold on a sec, that’s John’s (Reluctant but paying) job. He’s not about to lose out on that gig although the cards may be stacked against him here. Just when you think you’ve had enough, because there isn’t enough excitement for me to absorb, the whole is there or isn’t there a ‘John and Anastasia’ hook-up has me shaking my Kindle. Don’t think there will be a solution there anytime soon, but I keep hoping.

And let us not forget that screaming humdinger of a cliffhanger. ACK!!!!! O.o

I stumbled across The Many Travails of John Smith series by Chris Tullbane not that long ago, and already it has jumped its way to the top of my ‘must-stalk-the-author-for-the next-release’ pile. From the crazy antic of the extra characters to the WTH is he going to do now situations John finds himself in, this series pushes all my happy buttons. I can’t begin to say enough this is a must-read series. I know I’m going to be devastated when it comes to its end. For now, I get to revel in John’s world and wait very impatiently for the next book.

Stars: 5
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not compensated for the book other than the entertainment it provided. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This third book in Chris Tullbane's series takes a bit of a dark turn and feels all the better for it. There is even a running joke amongst the supernatural community about how John Smith manages to get so many people killed.
This time John is asked to investigate the missing leader of the White Ladies, first introduced in the previous book.
I enjoyed this book more than the previous one as there appears to be an increasing element of danger during John Smith's investigation. My only gripe so far with his adventures is the increasing fetishisation of Anastasia. When John and Ana are together, Tullbane provides a running commentary of what she is wearing and John's infatuation with her. Everything single time. Unfortunately, after the third or fourth description of the vampire's fashion choice and John's feelings, I felt it killed the scene and found myself skipping past these parts.
A brilliant follow up and expanse to the world of John Smith.

The third book in the series, Ghost of a Chance leans a little more serious than the previous installations. While not quite as read-out-loud funny, it is still engaging, hard-to-put-down fun that I would highly recommend. (Who can say no to a protagonist who invented the terms Fempire and Manpire?) Perfect for anyone who reads Darynda Jones or Janet Evanovich. I am so glad to have found this author. Looking forward to book four!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

It is a fun read indeed. Give it a go.

A solid like from me. As the story went on I started going faster and was reluctant to put the reader down at midnight. My one quibble is that the story starts with an investigation that gets side tracked as other things take precedence. There ultimately is resolution to the initial investigation, and as I mentioned, I found the rest of the book enjoyable. I guess I was just looking for a story that was a little more linear.

I also wouldn't call this a comedic urban fantasy. At times it's light, but there's the usual darkness, mayhem and gore.

I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Ghosts, adventure and an amazing plot. So awesome will recommend.

The humor, the fun, yes it's back! Once again paranormal can make you belly laugh. John Smith lives such a fun life. Even if it's scarey weird and filled with creepy things. Thanks #netgalley and #Ghostfallspress for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I went into this book expecting something and got something completely different. It was so much better than I was expecting, too. This is a fun, light-hearted urban fantasy about an almost inept detective who is human but knows about the supernatural world being kept under wraps from humans. I hadn’t read the books that came before this, but other than brief mentions of things that had happened before, I did not miss anything. In fact, I’d like to go back and read about those mentions. I think John is adorable, and I want to pinch his cheeks. LOL! I loved this well-written book, and I am looking forward to future installments. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Chris Tullbane does it again with his witty and dark humour that is so cleverly written within the book it never feels forced and is always in keeping with the characters.
I’m not so sure the storyline held up as well as book one or two for me, felt like the ghosts story was too much on the back burner and whilst I think the characters are awesome the depth of story telling has taken away from the light hearted fun stories of John Smith that I really enjoy. Still a good humorous book that is worth reading!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Ghost Falls Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the third in a series. It reads pretty well as a stand alone. I mean you know that there were previous books but it is easy to figure out. The cast of characters is super fun. John appears not to be the sharpest guy on the block but things work out. Its a wild ride but I found it fascinating. 4 stars. I think this is not for everyone but I say give it a try.
