ARC from Netgalley. A paranormal investigator and a ghost hunter are invited to explore a famous ghost town. Blair is analytical and scientific, while Lief is wilder and seeks sensation. Naturally, they've been butting heads and bickering, but stick together when things turn sinister. I liked both MCs, even if Lief can be a bit immature at times. Though the focus is more on ghosts and gore, their romance is a bright spot in midst of the dark ghostliness. 

But I wished it took more time for them to switch from enemies to lovers. They're quite sweet together, but more tension/intimacy would've made their romance stronger. I truly enjoyed the mystery, it's creepy with some good twists. A solid sapphic ghost thriller, though the writing can be a little inconsistent.
