About this listen

When his Uncle Mortimer died and left him Hoxne Grange, the family's Gilded Age mansion, Tristan Pryce became the second generation of Pryces to serve as a caretaker for the estate, a way station for spirits on their final steps to the afterlife. Tristan is prepared for challenges, though not necessarily from the ghosts he's seen since childhood. Determined to establish Tristan's insanity and gain access to his trust fund, his loving relatives hire Dr. Wolf Kincaid and his paranormal researchers, Hellsinger Investigations, to prove the Grange is not haunted.

Skeptic Wolf Kincaid has made it his life's work to debunk the supernatural. After years of cons and fakes, he can't wait to reveal the Grange's ghostly activity is just badly leveled floorboards and a drafty old house. More than a few surprises await him at the Grange, including its prickly, reclusive owner. Tristan Pryce is much less insane and much more attractive than Wolf wants to admit, and when his team releases a ghostly serial killer on the Grange, Wolf is torn between his skepticism and protecting the man he's been sent to discredit.

loved the story once I got used to the narrators odd tendency to suffix all pluralised words with apostrophes with -es, which detracted from the otherwise great performance.

Very enjoyable

I enjoy Rhys Ford's work, and note that the publisher has matched her up with Tristan James yet again. I enjoy his narration-to a point, but what I don't enjoy are his pronounciation errors. He has made errors in EVERY SINGLE audiobook I have heard narrated for Rhys Ford. In this book he's added 'esses' where they should not be- 'Servants quarters' became "Servantses", he did the same with so many other words it actually pulled me out of the story, which is really unfortunate. What I find worse than narrator errors is the fact they are never picked up by whoever proof listens for the publisher. After all the hard work the author and narrator have put into the product, its damn lazy to diminish a product at the last hurdle.

Suffice to say. This was great fun, M/M paranormal. The premise was quite Scooby-Doo. A haunted Grange, a team of paranormal investigators, and a dastardly ghost. The Grange's owner just happened to be hot, single and perfect for Wolf Kinkade, who headed the team of investigators. What followed was a bit spooky, hot and sweet. A good listen, but I would rather have fewer narrator errors.

Good paranormal M/M.

If you could sum up Fish and Ghosts in three words, what would they be?

Fun, exciting, romantic

What other book might you compare Fish and Ghosts to, and why?

I really can't, that's why I enjoyed it so much. The author has a really unique idea here and I absolutely loved it. It's of just as high quality as her other books but, as much as I loved the Sinners Gin saga, this seemed so much more believable to me (I know, ludicrous given the premise) and I loved it from the first word. Rhys Ford is definitely becoming my favourite (if not already is) m/m author.

What does Tristan James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I honestly couldn't say as I haven't read the book. I know that I love his pacing, delivery and he really does keep me hooked on the story and makes it so easy to follow. My house seems very odd when I'm not hearing his voice at the moment as I've listened to him pretty much non-stop for the past month reading various Rhys Ford stories so for me the pairing of this performer and author is cemented in my head as the norm and I'm not sure I could listen to a Rhys Ford book without hearing his voice anyway.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Any conversation between Tristan and his housekeeper. I much prefer her to the female matriach in Sinners Gin as she seems much more rounded and three dimensional. She's really well written and helps brings real depth to the story.

Any additional comments?

I loved all the Sinners Gin books, I really did, but this book is brilliant and I can't wait to get the next one. The reading of it is sublime and it just feels like the author has really progressed and their talent just shines through in this. I can honestly say that you'll find something to enjoy in any of Ford's stories and James' performance of it, but of you're a first time to either of them then this is the book to start off with. Excellent leads, strong supporting characters, a really intriguing premise and a FLAWLESS performance from James - you can't go wrong!

Really, really good.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like Rhys Ford's books, you will not be disappointed with book 1 in her new series.

What did you like best about this story?

The two main characters and the way their story developed.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I can't pinpoint one particular scene as the whole story is so well rounded.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were so many, so it's hard to pick just one!

Any additional comments?

Yet again, Rhys has delivered another top notch story and I am eagerly anticipating book 2.

Promising start to a new series!

It's okay, but not much happens. And the main plot point of his family wanting to get the Grange isn't answered at all. The characters are not really all that likable. Wolf is just unalterabley smarmy. Tristan is a bit better, more sympathetic, but still a bit one dimensional.

Very little plot
