Genre: MM Paranormal
Format: eARC

Inspector Danny Hayes has something very important to ask his boyfriend Tristan Everett. Over the past six months they’ve survived reapers, chaos monsters, and biblical storms, not to mention averting an apocalypse. So, what’s left to do but pop the big question?

Tristan is ready for a break from world-saving, spectral crises, and most definitely from ghosts. He wants some one-on-one time with his boyfriend, preferably horizontally. So when their Boxing Day celebrations result in a drunken booking of a romantic New Year’s getaway at a quiet little hotel near the wilds of the north Yorkshire moors, Tristan can’t wait.

But as usual nothing ever goes according to plan. Snowed in during an unexpected murder mystery weekend at what turns out to be one of the most haunted hotels in Northern England is not what they had in mind, but when one of the actors turns up really dead not just fake dead, they once again find themselves caught up in another investigation.

With only one night to figure out who the killer is while wrangling a multitude of overly helpful ghosts, Tristan begins to wonder if romance really is dead…

Helen’s thoughts: 5/5

I was fortunate enough to get an eARC of case number 4, and it didn’t disappoint. In fact in might be my favourite so far with the more sensitive side of Danny and Tristan’s relationship coming to light.

Danny and Tristan are an adorable couple and in this case we get to see how wonderfully suited they are. From Tristan supporting Danny through reuniting with his family to Danny’s nervous attempts, all hilariously interrupted by ghosts, murder and mayhem, to ask Tristan to marry him. Dusty’s attempts to celebrate are hilarious and of course, perfectly ill-timed. Just brilliant!

Combine that with a haunted house full of out of control ghosts, and a murder mystery weekend, you should get ready for a bucket load of trouble interspersed with swoony romantic moments.

Thoroughly recommend this series. All the characters are so well rounded, beautifully described and fit perfectly in their place. If you love steamy MM paranormal romance, then this is the series for you!
