I don't know anything about Ghost Hunt so i can't make a comparison, but it varies depending on the character viewpoint. The novels are fairly experimental for the author but usually follow a format of the three sets of main characters dealing with incidents from different angles.
Shinobu is the high schooler loved by the supernatural mentioned in the preview and usually gets wrapped up in things against his will but manages due to his rather extensive knowledge of youkai. Hayabusa is Shinobu's uncle and a police detective with an aversion to youkai because they naturally love to bully him. He usually deals with things from a more formal police type investigation alongside his more supernaturally inclined underage stalker Enbi. The third set is Enbi's older sister Mai who is completely submerged in the underworld of supernatural dealings and is a freelance spy who takes jobs to resolve incidents with her sidekick the Sunekosuri who is a harmless youkai assigned to keep an eye on her.
The first person narrative annoys some people but I rather like it, and it's fairly with 9 volumes and a few side stories afterward. It's translated by js06 so TL quality isn't an issue either. Somewhat related is the Simple Series by the same author which is a collection of loose ideas he couldn't fit into full works on their own. A Simple Monitoring in particular is really good if you like darker stories.
