Thank you so much GRR for the arc!
I was looking through potential sign ups, and when I saw a review for this saying it's basically if you ever wanted a Sam and Dean style of romance, read this book.

That was enough to hook me, two guys hunting paranormal stuff and going around the country, but also dealing with their feelings towards each other?
Sign me up!

The two guys were also foster brothers, with Zeke being a bit older and protective of Ian. Zeke is also a bit of a ladies and man's man, so he's our Dean.
He's fiercely protective of Ian, since the day that he arrived at their shared foster home.
They've known each other for years, especially after they both experience their first haunting together.

It was sweet to read that no matter what, he looked out for Ian and comforted him. They always seem to have each other's backs and a strong bond.
The pair go around the country, different cities, different hotels, but take comfort in the consistency of having each other. 

But they're worried if they give in to their feelings, that it will change everything.

I feel like there are so many hidden Easter eggs from supernatural, they were honestly kind of fun to find. The book of course stands on its own legs, and deserves to be recognized for that. 

The story was really captivating, reading about the two guys trying to solve the mystery of Thistle House by talking to locals, reading archives, etc.
I felt like I was alongside them trying to piece everything together.
