Restless Spirits
Restless Spirits | Jordan L Hawk
3 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
After losing the family fortune to a fraudulent psychic, inventor Henry Strauss is determined to bring the otherworld under control through the application of science. All he needs is a genuine haunting to prove his Electro-Seance will work. A letter from wealthy industrialist Dominic Gladfield seems the answer to his prayers. Gladfield's proposition: a contest pitting science against spiritualism, with a hefty prize for the winner. The contest takes Henry to Reyhome Castle, the site of a series of brutal murders decades earlier. There he meets his rival for the prize, the dangerously appealing Vincent Night. Vincent is handsome, charming...and determined to get Henry into bed. Henry can't afford to fall for a spirit medium, let alone the competition. But nothing in the haunted mansion is quite as it seems, and soon winning the contest is the least of Henry's concerns. For the evil stalking the halls of Reyhome Castle wants to claim not just Henry and Vincent's lives, but their very souls."

The first series I read by Jordan L Hawk and I loved their writing style and the world they created. Went from that to the Whyborne and Griffin books which I adore

This is guilty pleasure shame fodder. It is not good and you know it isn't good and you shouldn't enjoy it but you do.

It's well written, the plot is predictable, motivations are inconsistent, characters are interesting, and it is a few hours of fluff that doesn't challenge you.

Sometimes I need that and this is a good book for that.

Okay, this was lovely. Romance/erotica technically, I think, but what a plot! Felt a bit like an Agatha Christie, actually, but more ghosts, more racial, gender, and sexual diversity, and way more kissing. I was invested in both leads, the side characters were nicely fleshed out, and if the mysteries weren't always particularly surprising, I still had fun getting there. And a good length as well! Pretty excellently paced! I'll have to read more!

ssleif #queerbooks #transbooks This was a solid A, I think. if a few things had been more exciting or less predictable then maybe it would have gotten an a+, but I really had nothing more I wanted or could ask for from this book. It had me engaged the whole time. 👌👍 5y
