I love how the title summarizes the entire story. This is a novel about a tenant in an apartment "haunted" by a ghost. (and when I say haunted, I mean "living" and co-existing). This is a mashup of gay romance and supernatural that was rolled in a very neat package.
Things started weird. Imagine living in an apartment with a ghost that interacts with you and sometimes, even argues with you on both petty and serious matters. Danny (the human) and Adam (the ghost) eventually got along well and started falling for each other. Danny was able to find a grimoire (book of magic spells) and was able to transform Adam from a ghost to a tangible human being.
They lived harmoniously for a certain timeframe until some problems concerning the backlash from the magic spell that they accomplished began to bother them. This problem tested their relationship and that's when things began to get more interesting.
The story was written simply with slight glimpses from the past which is easy to follow. This is not the first time that I have encountered such a concept but what makes this story different is the writing style and the twist at the end. The smut scene was also written well and the ending, albeit entertaining, could use some additional twist to make it more appealing. Overall, this is a 4-star read for me.
