Deeper depths

I honestly avoided this series when it started popping up but it has pleasantly surprised me at every turn. This installment has been just as good if not better than the first. I adore not only the story but also the mystical and historical aspects.

Another odd installment

I liked a lot of this one but it kind of frayed for a while. Lee & Gideon continue with their ghostly adventures, playful romps. and odd family interactions. And can we talk about how Lee is the psychic but Gideon seems to do 60% of the ghostly interactions? That’s odd. Not wrong, but that the characters run about mostly ignoring Gideon’s serious psychic encounters while accepting that they happen is an odd thing for them to almost never discuss. It’s getting frustrating. I think this (book 3) made more sense than book 1 but the way the climactic scene played out didn’t jibe for me. There’s a big scene around a mystical place near Lee’s family home where Lee’s production team is filming and a bunch of stuff happened that kind of made sense to me and kind of didn’t. There is an attempt to show the same event manifesting in different ways to different people without everyone being clued in and it didn’t quite work for me. It was just weird, and not all was good weird. I don’t recommend against this one, just maybe don’t start with this book.

(Possible spoiler in this paragraph but I try to make it vague enough to not be a true spoiler) This author seems to be a big fan of people holding on to undeserved guilt and I am not such a fan. Fortunately, the author also usually gets someone to verbally assuage that guilt. Especially in *fiction*, some characters just need killing and those that perform this as a civic duty should feel better about it than they are allowed to here. A clear & present & persistent danger needs to be dealt with using available effective options. (/end spoiler-ish bits)

Having recently read several books from this author, I found a lot of this book (injured officer in hospital & recovery in particular) overlapped in my mind with the characters & plot of Half Moon Chambers almost as if one was the draft for the other. Or they grew from the same seeds. 😐

Steam: medium. Gideon & Lee enjoy each other so the explicit M/M sexytimes are tumbled joyfully throughout.

Narration: Not sure if it was the recording or my bluetooth speaker, but the audio volume was inconsistent mid-book, fading in & out. I think it was the recording because it happened most around & during the voicing of one particular character. Some of it was a bit garbled.

Way to many "Lube" scenes.

The story line was great and the narrator was great, but the male on male sex scenes were way to much. Couldn't leave on while I worked or around house. Very graphic and pornographic. I could have gone without all the talk of what went were and what needed lubed up first. Alot of different ways author could have expressed their love for each other besides this way.

Beautiful

Another really good book in the series. I really think this series is getting better and better. I love these two as a couple.

Beautiful, low angst romance with unexplained paranormal ghostly stuff, slightly scary and creepy and the beautiful setting of Cornwall :)

always a good story

the story was good, I had a difficult time hearing the story in my vehicle but not my house. at times Gid gets on my nerves when it comes to Lee, and Lee can be annoying as hell. but they do work well together. I do love that we meet Zeke. he's becoming my favorite.

Love this series!

I'm loving this series so much!

I was so happy when I saw that this book was a bit longer than the previous ones, there's just never enough of Lee and Gideon.

Gideon and Lee have now moved in with each other and are happily bobbing along with the everyday stuff, their work, managing to get the wallpaper upside down, and you know - life. They are living life with all the bumps that comes along with being a psychic and working as a copper in a small town.

Don't Let Go delves deeper into the long forgotten past. A past that has been long buried and the ghosts disturbed might just come back to haunt our two favourite people. But more than that, we get to know them on a much deeper level than we already do. Questions we have are answered and new friendships are formed and old relationships are mended.

I am going to be honest with you. You don't read this series for the awesome mysteries, because frankly they can be a bit so so. You read (devour) these books for the feel of them. That creepy, yet cosy feeling Fox somehow manages to create. You read it for the wonderful characters, the amazing sense of place and just about everything about them. And they are highly addictive, so make sure you have the next book ready to go before finishing the last one!

Once again Tim Gilbert did an amazing job narrating this book. He makes you feel like you're a part of the story. You are one of the characters in the book, you are there for the adventures, and you are most definitely there yelling at Gideon for being a stubborn ass. And you will have a great time doing it.

If you haven't already, pick this series up now. I promise you won't regret it!

Another great addition

I love this couple and this is yet another strong book in the series. I’m so happy to see more of Ezekiel and their mom too.

Much better then the Second!

My favorite thing about this author is, and I will always bring this up, the way the author describes situations and objects. Not outright telling the reader what it is, allowing the effects or interactions with it be the building blocks; it’s kind of using the negative space to describe. This book had a ton of that going on and I really appreciated it!

Story was a good surprise and realistic in its depictions. I really adore all the characters and their ways of dealing with each other. This felt like a solid move forward for the characters.

I am beginning to see that the author likes to address acceptance of tragedy. Ground it in some way and allow the characters to deal with hard choices in a realistic manner. I think that is why I did not like the second, there was less of a humbling situation going on.

Unlike the other books where I felt like the sex was just inserted for the sake of it just bing there. Here it helped show what the characters were thinking or it set up for ways their interactions might change.

It was read well though the two mains voices can blend from time to time, nothing too distracting.
Overall, very happy and am going to continue.

The journey continues

Lee and Gid are once again on the trail of the threatening spirit who harasses them both now. Gideon is recovering from a stab wound as they travel to Lee’s childhood home to face the past.

As always, this couple is fiercely loyal and always have each other’s back. Plus more if they can get it 😉. Love the tenderness Lee and Gid show each other in so many ways.

Not a stand-alone

As part of the series we continue to learn more about Gideon and Lee. In this one the series continued to grow the backstory and a mystery in the village of one of the main characters grew up in. Mysteries abound both on the natural realm and the spiritual one.
