Everbound: A Paranormal Alternate Universe, Book 1

De: Torri Heat

Narrado por: James Anderson Foster, Heather Stonewell

In the woods is a house they say is haunted. Once you enter, you can never leave. In this house, your biggest dreams can become reality, and your worst vices can become dangerous addictions. Would you risk it?

When Savannah Miles comes into a sum of money, she decides to follow her lifelong dream and open her own thrift shop. The sweet-looking house in the woods seems like the perfect place.

Except the house is filled with mystery—and three handsome men who have been stuck inside for decades. Felix, the original owner of the house, trapped for over a century. Luther, the 40-something postman whose search for the meaning of life led him to be stuck in the house since the 70s. And Theo, whose string of bad luck left him in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Different times. Different vices. Different lives. Can the four of them work together in life and love to find a way to survive?

Three eras…one bed.

The haunted house setting was such a strong backdrop. The forced proximity wasn’t just a trope here, it was the driving force of the tension. Savannah being trapped in an inescapable house with three men from completely different time periods (a 1907 owner, a 1970s postman, and a 1990s wanderer) made the dynamic feel fresh and unpredictable. Each man had a distinct personality and presence, which kept the relationships from blending together.

The chemistry? Off the charts. The heat level absolutely matched the premise, but what I appreciated most was how the emotional bonds developed alongside the physical tension. The push and pull between Savannah and each man felt intentional, not rushed, and the “why choose” aspect felt earned rather than convenient.

The paranormal elements added an eerie edge without overpowering the romance, and the haunted house itself almost felt like a character.

If you love forced proximity, supernatural tension, and a high-heat reverse harem with distinct MMCs, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

What a haunted house!

Our FMC is looking for change, she follows her hearts dream and finds herself falling in love with a house, she buys it and is thrilled to get started on her new life. Once she crosses the threshold everything changes…. Interesting story, some very steamy scenes, and really, why should a girl have to choose?

Their relationships

I wish the voices would have been combined in the chapters. Like in Theo’s chapter, the female narrator read her part and vice versa. I wish there was more of a storyline throughout instead of really just their back stories to counter the smut but over all it was good.

Ummmm….

The female narrator is excellent. The story is lacking and has holes…and the female lead complacency in the situation was strange…no woman in “2022” would just roll with the situation…would not recommend this book!

Give it time

There’s a bit of back story to get through, but give it the time and you will enjoy the story. Good reading.
