Synopsis (Goodreads):
Close your doors and cabinets tight, or Jack will climb out to see you tonight.

The former railroad stop of Timbermill, Georgia has grown ever more quiet and empty since its boom era faded decades ago. Reduced to little more than a ghost town, it is suddenly revitalized by suburban sprawl from the city of Savannah, its long-vacant downtown storefronts gradually reopening as boutiques for weekend shoppers.

But Timbermill has a dark legend unknown to the newcomers. Stories whispered from one generation of children to the next warn of a supernatural figure who emerges from the doors of closets and cabinets left carelessly open at night. As the children grew up and moved away, the town shrank, windows were boarded over, and the old stories were almost lost.

One recently relocated couple is restoring an antique house for themselves and their children rather than buying into one of the new neighborhoods, but an unsettling figure from the local legend appears to be stalking them. They turn to Ellie and Stacey for help against an old evil that, while nearly forgotten, was never fully buried.
Thoughts on Cabinet Jack: We're back with Ellie and crew (actually, mostly just Stacey, but let's not get technical here or anything) and they're on the case of a nasty, nasty ghostie. Which is pretty normal for Ellie and all, so she jumps right in to do her thing. As one does.

This time around, Ellie and Stacey are brought in to help a family who are experiencing THINGS in their new house. Things. As in possible ghosts. The deeper into the investigation Ellie and Stacey wade, the more unsettling it becomes. Mostly because that old town and those houses and all the things that happened in them were creeeeeeepy.

I don't want to give too much away, so let's just say there's a high creep factor, a family that's rattled by what's going on, a couple of town secrets that are itching to bubble to the surface, and a whole lot of ghosts. Because it's not a Ellie Jordan book if there aren't a lot of ghosts, amirite?!?!

I always enjoy spending time in Ellie's world. It's dark and dangerous and Ellie's determined to do what she can to protect those who need it most. *thumbs up*
