Trapped in a remote mansion with his insane relatives, Zeb tries to escape forced marriage to a cousin, a supposed family curse, and specters that may or may not be ghosts. Oh, and his ex-boyfriend is there, to complicate things further.

This is the first KJ Charles book I’ve read that I was just kinda meh about. The mystery was intriguing, the plot well done. But I didn’t like Zeb. He was too nice. Like, his only flaw was that he had ADHD, which isn’t exactly a flaw. Yeah, everyone treated him like it was, but other than the shortcomings produced by an unmedicated disorder, the man was literally perfect in every way. Set against the horror that was almost every other character, I found it difficult to believe or relate. It took nearly half the book before I got intrigued enough by the plot to want to keep reading. Sigh.

Performance: The audiobook was read by Sonny Archer. Nothing really to say about it. Not my favorite, but I didn’t dislike it either.
