Ghosts Among Us

Murder, cursed hotels, haunted houses, danger, intrigue and most of all, love. Ben was an ex-police detective turned PI. Erik used to recover stolen art and investigate art frauds. Both moved to Cape May for a change in career and way of life. With them, they bring a whole lot of trouble as strange things start happening.

Erik has some special skills that help him with his antiquities business and make him fit right in with Cape May. Ben is more cautious in believing things that can’t be seen. The two have an instant connection from their first encounter, but their fragile bond is tested when Ben is forced to reevaluate how he sees the world.

I like how patient Ben is, how he listens and doesn’t judge Erik when he opens up. Erik is sweet and I hope he learns how to grow into his skills. Their journey to be together is a slow burn with lots of yummy tension, including some hot phone calls, as they keep trying to be together, but life interferes. They also each have past issues they are working through but when they are together they help each other heal.

I want to visit Cape May and try all this food, maybe go on some ghost tours. I love a mystery and combine it with paranormal happenings, it’s a win-win! A fun read by Morgan Brice and a great start to a new series.
