Upon my re-read of this story before the release of the second I found myself much more engaged with both Blue and Levi. I am looking forward to seeing where their story goes.

Good creep factor

I really liked the mystery and ambiance. I’m glad we got both Levi and Blue’s point of view; I really felt the attraction between them and appreciated that the relationship wasn’t rushed. The ghosts were creepy and though I suspected somethings, the mystery unfolded nicely. I’ll definitely read the next book!

I love the wit Lily injects into her characters that makes them come alive and embody a new fresh character each time. Blue and Levi are no exception! I love how I'm laughing out loud one second then on the edge of my seat the next. I feel Lily used her sass and humour wonderfully in this book and added the perfect comic relief to what would or could have been dark and scary moments. She reminds you to smile and laugh even in darkness

Ce fut une incroyable lecture ! Un énorme coup de coeur.

J’ai la sensation d’avoir passé une semaine avec 2 amis proche et d’être nostalgique de ne pas les revoir tous de suite ! Levi et Blue ⭐️

Ce livre il est parfait pour la saison automnale : c’est un livre d’ambiance parfait à lire sous un plaid avec une boisson chaude. Vous découvriez les rues pavées de York et ses maisons à colombages. Vous frissonnerez avec Levi et Blue lorsqu’ils seront dans cette maison bien étrange ! Et votre cœur battra très fort face à cette romance M/M vraiment adorable et safe.

Il me tarde de lire le tome 2 ! Je n’attends que ça même et de retrouver les aventures de Blue et Levi et de retourner dans cette ambiance si particulière à cette duologie !

This is my favourite Lily Morton book. I've been wanting to do a reread for ages and finally listened to the audiobook - it's just as good in audio as it is as an ebook.

While I really enjoy Lily Morton's contemporary romances, they do often end up feeling really repetitive to me. I don't really mind it, because they're comfortable and predictable and great to read if I'm looking for that specifically, but these horror romances that she's written are SO good and they really need more attention.

This is one of my favourites partially because I went on a ghost tour in York in 2018, and this book reminds me of that lovely holiday (I really hope one day I can go to York again, and take a photograph of this book while there), but also because this book has a great 50/50 on both having a fantastic romance and the ghost elements being so scary.
