You could use EPUBMerge plugin for Calibre:

merge all of them into one behemoth EPUB, and then open it in Calibre's Editor and use Tools > Check Spelling.

AZARDI is an EPUB reader that lets you search across multiple EPUBs:

You have to right click each EPUB and "Index" it, but after that you can search across them freely.

May I ask what the use-case is? Are you trying to see how often a character is mentioned in a series?
