Parapsychologist Dr. Nigel Taylor doesn’t work with psychic mediums. Until, that is, a round of budget cuts threatens his job and an eccentric old woman offers him a great deal of grant money. The only catch: he must investigate a haunted house with a man she believes to have a true gift.

Oscar Fox, founder of the ghost-hunting team OutFoxing the Paranormal, has spent his life ignoring the same sort of hallucinations that sent his grandmother to an insane asylum. When he agrees to work with the prestigious—and sexy—Dr. Taylor, he knows he’ll have to keep his visions under wraps, so his team can get a desperately needed pay day.

Soon after Nigel, Oscar, and the OtP team arrive at the house, the questions begin to pile up. Why is there a blood stain in the upstairs hallway? What tragedy took place in the basement? And who is …

Liked the Villain

If you're here for romance, the main couple was instantly attracted to each other and the mutual pining/attraction was mutual. They were still cute, but there isn't much going on drama or relationship building wise.

The ghost story was fun. I liked the villain and the overall set up. I didn't find it scary, but the atmosphere and action kept me engaged.

I enjoyed the cast most of all. The characters are likable and they all have easy chemistry with each other. I think Oscar and Nigel will be more fun as an established relationship in future books.

The villain in particular got to be creepy-charismatic and his issues combine a few of my favorite tropes: win for me.

Read it all in two sittings so safe to say I liked it well enough.
