Summary
Levi Black is at a crossroads. After suffering a loss and breaking up a long-term relationship, he’s looking for a change. When he receives the news he’s inherited a house in York, he seizes the opportunity to begin a new chapter in his life.
However, when he gets there, he finds a house that has never kept its occupants for very long. Either through death or disinclination, no one stays there, and after a few days of living in the place, Levi can understand why. Strange noises can be heard at all hours of the day and night, and disturbing and scary things begin to happen to him. He never believed in ghosts before, but when events take a sinister turn, he knows he must look for help. He finds it in the unlikely form of the blue-haired leader of a ghost tour.
Blue Billings is edgy, beautiful, and lost. Utterly lost. He conceals so many secrets that some days it’s a miracle he remembers his own name. He knows that he should ignore Levi because he threatens the tenuous grip Blue has on survival. But there’s something about the kind-eyed man that draws Blue to him. Something that demands he stay and fight for him when he would normally run in the opposite direction.
As the two men investigate the shocking truth behind Levi’s house, they also discover a deep connection that defies the short length of time they’ve known each other. But when events escalate and his life is on the line, Levi has to wonder if it was wise to trust the mysterious and amazing Blue Billings.

very fun story, over the top narration
this is a very enjoyable and genuinely creepy ghost story/romance, with decent characterisation and enough atmosphere to carry it past a couple of odd inconsistencies (characters understanding what's going on but then not getting the supernatural stuff all of a sudden etc).
the narration drives me crazy though: the different voices are so overwrought and breathless and exaggerated it gets really grating, especially as the drama builds and it's just hammy as heck. that's my preference though, if you liked books acted out a lot then it might be fine for you.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
Story: Such a brilliantly written, witty and hilarious tale! At the same time it has great classic ghost story vibes that just fit the characters perfectly.
Narration: Match made in heaven for these MCs!

Compelling characters, average story
The first half was really good. I liked how the author took her time to set up the characters and make them likeable. Their meeting and early interactions are sweet. The ghost mystery is set up nicely too, so I found myself hooked.
However, as the romance progressed the story took the backseat. Revelation was a bit too obvious even before the men went about solving it. The way they did it was also anticlimactic, The constant banter between the two got stale with time, They went out of their way to sound sassy and smart in every situation, even the most dramatic one, which broke the immersion for me.
And the smut scenes just take the cake. The romance books written by gay men that I've read come nowhere near this level of unnecessary detail. It's simply gross and make me think that this female author has a fetish,

a great book
I couldn't put this book down & listened to it in one sitting. The main characters are very likeable and the storyline had me gripped from start to finish. I need more of Levi and Blue so I am off to listen to the second book in the series now. well worth a credit

I wasn't able to finish this book
Really struggled. This book took to long to conclude story line. Good idea I just rang out of brain energy to keep my interest.

Another great story from Lily Morton.
Joel Leslie and Lily Morton go well together. This story held my attention from beginning to end. Blue Billings is an interesting character and I really enjoyed listening to his story.
