I think this is the first time I find Josh Lanyon's novella as unfulfilling. I like the touch of ghost-like mystery here and I thought David and Julian as sweet. However, the ending is so abrupt, it feels like I'm staring on a book where the last pages have been ripped off. I feel that there are questions left unanswered; it makes me feel unsatisfied.

I love anything Josh writes and I wasn't dissappointed in this one.
I just can't figure out the way it ended. Almost as though I didn't get the whole e-book download.
The story ends with Flynn runniing through the house to wake everyone after he thumps Pearce one more time. Is that right? ...more

The perfect mixture of the 1920- atmosphere, historical detail, flawless writing and entertaining word plays, sexy, interesting heroes, creepy bad guy and, at times, scary paranormal aspect.

1920's Illinois. David is a reporter, Julian is a spiritualist. Girls are being murdered. David doesn't want to like Julian, but is drawn to him, anyway. The best part to me was the collection of people staying at the boarding house owned by David's dead friend's wife. Also interesting to see how men might have dealt with being gay in the 20's, as well as David's journey of self-discovery.

Not his best work. A surprisingly tidy and abrupt ending, and a little more... explicit, erotic? than his normal stories.
I really loved this one. The characters are wonderful, the story is engaging and well paced...I didn't want to put it down. If I'd felt a little more transported back in time it would've been an easy 5 star read and on the favorites shelf. Still a great read, though.
