The Ghost in the Hall

Beyond the Veil, Book 1

Something is very wrong with the Fitzwilliam estate . . .

It was supposed to be a regular seance job.

But from the minute I met an angry ghost in the hall, I knew there wasn't going to be anything ordinary about this house or its dead residents. First of all, there were way too many of them. Second, some of them had been helped along from living to dead. Third, my attempt to figure out what was going on got a bit sidetracked when I met the gardener.

He was tall, dark green, and handsome.

And really, really smart. So I hired him to help me figure out what was going on. And that's when things got interesting, in more ways than one.

I think I'm falling for an orc, and that's making it really hard to concentrate on doing my job, but if I don't, I'm going to be in a whole heap of trouble.

Contains mature themes.

Plot smut

so I love the plot and world building and serious civil and social issues 👌 the smut is ok but the relationship is Wonderfuulll 🩷

Love the series!

I’ve read all the books so I knew the audiobook would be good. The narrator is new-to-me and has a great voice. He does good with the different characters and keeps my attention.
This is the first book in the series and introduces you to Ward and Mason. The world building is excellent, the way the author uses a virus to explain the different races and abilities is a nice change from other books I’ve read.
Overall a great book and a series that I have recommended to others.

I love this series!

I’ve already read pretty much all of the books, but I’m so excited to find these in audiobook format. The narrator is one I haven’t heard before, but he does a great job and bringing the characters to life with different voices for different characters.

Interesting new verse

This story was very enjoyable, and it is a very different verse for me. I quite enjoyed the explanation for all of the various Arcanid types. Of course my favorite part is the ghosties, which is always a fun supernatural element.

The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life, great choice by the author!

Ok.

Bought it on sale, it's been sitting in my wish list for a while.
Overall I found the story entertaining, if not a little long.
(I did end up FF through several chapters)

Mason and Ward definitely have a great relationship going, but I find Ward too whiny in spots.
The story itself is unique and that's refreshing. But the repeatedly mention of masks was annoying.

I have to say, for this tale I enjoyed Lady R the best!

I bought book 3 as well, but skipped 2 because of the price difference.

The narration was fine, not one of my favorite but kept the story going.
