What Members Thought
There are lots of dark subjects in this story. Rich in its historical background setting, It's part mystery, part ghost/spirits story and yes, part romance.
Josh Lanyon laid out that period in vivid details and even though it is told in third-person POV, readers can easily experience the inner thoughts and emotions of the central character, David. Almost every character, main or supporting, in the story is complex, you can never judge them at face value or first glance, including David.

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.

I really enjoyed this. A great sense of place and period, and an appealingly vulnerable love-interest.
The ending seemed a little abrupt, but this is partly because the publisher's tacked on another 40 or so pages of excerpts, when I was expecting more story! ...more

Not his best work. A surprisingly tidy and abrupt ending, and a little more... explicit, erotic? than his normal stories.
I started out not liking some characters and got to love the main characters a lot. Josh Lanyon always satisfies my reading needs! It is why I re-read so many of her books every year.
