When he receives the news he's inherited a house in York, he seizes the opportunity to begin a new chapter in his life.However, when he gets there, he finds a house that has never kept its occupants for very long. Either through death or disinclination, no one stays there, and after a few days of living in the place, Levi can understand why. Strange noises can be heard at all hours of the day and night, and disturbing and scary things begin to happen to him. He never believed in ghosts before, but when events take a sinister turn, he knows he must look for help. He finds it in the unlikely form of the blue-haired leader of a ghost tour.Blue Billings is edgy, beautiful, and lost. Utterly lost. He conceals so many secrets that some days it's a miracle he remembers his own name. He knows that he should ignore Levi because he threatens the tenuous grip Blue has on survival. But there's something about the kind-eyed man that draws Blue to him. Something that demands he stay and fight for him when he would normally run in the opposite direction.As the two men investigate the shocking truth behind Levi's house, they also discover a deep connection that defies the short length of time they've known each other. But when events escalate and his life is on the line, Levi has to wonder if it was wise to trust the Mysterious and Amazing Blue Billings.… (more)

This was not my favorite Lily Morton. Sure it was fun, but the focus was divided between the mystery part and the romance part. The romance got less attention in favor of a mystery that was fairly predictable (and if I'm honest, a bit boring because it has been done so many times). Also there was the bit where they read from a Victorian woman's diary and she sounded mostly contemporary as far as I could tell that made me cringe a bit.
All in all, I really think Morton should stick to contemporary fluffy romances or put a lot more effort in if she's going to delve into mysteries. ( )

I don’t like ghosts (unless Sam, Dean, Cas, Crowley or Rowena are hanging around) and I can’t understand some of the authors’ need lately to use Present Tense. A trend? Ugh...

Anyway, there were some other issues.
The revealing of the Devil’s identity came as a surprise to me; it was pretty obvious early on, I thought it was understood.
Salt ...it’s a staple. Dean and Sam did not uncover any long lost secrets here. Well known fact, that. Funny, Blue didn’t use it sooner, since he is so knowledgeable in all things spiritual.
I wish more time was spent on Blue and Levi in the beginning than focusing on Levi’s furniture and house renovations. There was very little chemistry between the two.
Switching POVs. While I am glad we got both men covered, the switching was rather lopsided. Once again, Levi’s furniture got in the way... hehe... For some reason I also had hard time remembering whose POV was being used as I was reading the chapters.

The whole thing was rather messy. I will not continue. ( )
