Love, Like Ghosts follows Adrian, a college student at UNC who is a little different than the rest. While most students would rather be out partying, he'd rather sit in his apartment and do his physics homework. Oh yeah, and he has psychokinesis, the ability to move things with his mind. Then he meets two people who change his world - Greg Woodhall, a theater major that he meets while constructing a haunted house and Lyndon Groome, a ghost who was murdered back in 1905.

Let me start o More...

Ally Blue delivers again with a new installment to her Bay City Paranormal Investigations series! As a huge fan of her works, I'm likely rather biased in my estimation of her talent but it is rare to find those authors whose books you KNOW (even before cracking them open) that you're going to love no matter what. All of Ally Blue's books have been that way for me and Love Like Ghosts is no exception.

Summary: Truth. Lies. A century-old mystery. What a tangled web…

I really loved this book and it definitely can be read alone without reading the rest of the series (although I have).

Adrian is the now adult son of Bo (from Bo and Sam fame in the original 6 books) and is away at college. Because of his nature and paranormal abilities, the young gay man is a loner and keeps away from most other people. He's practiced rigid self-control over the years or so he thought until he meets Greg.

Greg is a beautiful young theater student at the co More...

I always feel somewhat hesitant when writing a review of a 3 star book. They are normally books that I enjoy but feel went a little flat in parts. I like the continuation of the series with a look at Adrian. It is interesting to see his development from the child he was earlier in the series. It also provides an interesting look into his personality and his perception of it versus that of his brother. Greg is our other hero. His portrayal was a problem for me. The way he chose to deal, or should More...

This book is related to Ally Blue's Bay City Paranormal Investigations series, but it can be read as a stand-alone.

Adrian, the son of Bo, is currently attending UNC-Chapel Hill. After a tumultuous adolescence, he has finally found control over his psychokinesis. This control has come with a price. Adrian is emotionally stunted. His fear of losing that control is keeping him from developing relationships. His brother Sean is constantly encouraging him to date, but his closest rel More...

Another BCPI book that can be read on its own. This one follows Adrian, Bo's son, ten years after the last book. He is in college now, and readers get to see how much he has changed over time. His love interest is Greg, a theater student. I loved this story because his parents, Sam and Bo, did make appearances. I was happy to see that he changed for the better. This book also steps away from the creatures of the original series and relies on ghost hunting and such. I would love to see more of th More...

I have been wanting to read this book for a long time, but just recently purchased it.
Our main character Adrian Broussard, Dr. Bo Broussard's son, is all grown up.
At twenty-one he has come to terms and been through a lot, most of all starting when he was eleven and accidentally opened a portal to another dimension in his moms house.
Now we see him in collage, and intrigued with the ghost that haunts a chapel, having grown up with paranormal things being the normal he is determin More...

The Bay City Series has an interesting change when the son, Adrian, becomes the main character and Sam and Bo take a backseat. For the most part this works very well with an engaging new couple and an interesting mystery. The writing is very classically Ally Blue and fans are likely to enjoy the new offering as much, if not more, than others in the series. The story has a few jarring moments since the timeline leaps ahead almost a decade yet this is not a futuristic theme. Additionally due to th More...

Adrian gets his own story! I liked this boy since I read about him in the Book # 5. He is in college and is very well equipped to deal with his powers but what he is not well equipped do deal with is his attraction to Greg. Being with Greg makes him lose his control over the powers - it was actually a pretty interesting concept. The ghost's love story and its role in bringing them together was woven very nicely. I also liked the way the interaction between Sam, Bo, Adrian and Greg was presented. More...

I have not read the other BCP books but this is kind of a stand-alone. Set in the near future, Adrian (with psychic abilities) is a natural introvert who spends his time studying physics and keeping to himself and controlling his power. He meets Scotty while helping set up the haunted house on campus and they hit it off but Adrian is afraid to a) tell the truth about his abilities b) get involved with anyone because it usually ends badly. They eventually start dating and Adrian also discovers th More...

I can always rely on good old Ally. I love her stuff, and this was no disappointment. Don't have much to say about this one, other than read it now! Oh, and if you were hoping for a glimpse into the future of Bo and Sam, you won't be disappointed.

I love that Ally Blue gave Adrian a HEA (happy ever after). It gives me the feeling that the whole series is complete and whole. The characters were wonderful. Because of his relationship with Greg, Adrian was able to come to terms with his past and move on. He took his doubts about himself and used his personal strength to hold to what he knew he needed to do.

Mystery. Ghosts. Sex. Romance. Bit of angst, and a LOVELY ending. What more could I even ask for?

Another great addition to the BCP series. This one goes into the future, and Bo's son Adrien is all grown up and in college. It was fun to see all the characters from the BCP team after their HEA's, even though we only got a few glimpses of them in this book. I liked that Greg was a "non-believer". It added some great tension to the story. I felt so bad for ghost-Lyndon! I've never wanted to give a ghost a hug before, but I think he needed one. :D

Very good m/m romance that takes place ten years after the events in An Inner Darkness. Bo and Sam’s son Adrian is at college, but remains distanced from those around him as he works to control his telekinesis. I actually got a little sniffly while reading this one.

Loved it. It not as technical or danger-wrought as the usual BCPI books but decidedly a delight!
Ally Blue is fabulous
