The Haunting Between Us

De: Paul Michael Winters

Narrado por: Andrew Gibson

Heartstopper meets The Haunting of Hill House in this queer coming-of-age romance and ghost story.

Cameron can’t believe the boy of his dreams just moved into the house of his nightmares.

Sixteen-year-old Cameron Walsh dreads the haunted Victorian mansion across the street, where the ghost of the White Lady roams the halls. When he sees her through the bay window, his ghost-hunting friend Abby wants to investigate. But then the new owners pull up, and Cameron is captivated by the brooding, handsome boy moving in. He longs for a boyfriend, but years of bullying have shattered his self-esteem.

Sixteen-year-old Hugo Cruz and his father flip old houses, moving often, fleeing from the grief at the loss of Hugo’s mother. They unknowingly move into the most haunted house in Port Townsend, Washington. From day one, Hugo encounters shadows that move by themselves, locked doors without keys, and hidden rooms. He hides the mysteries from his superstitious father, not wanting to uproot their lives.

When the White Lady becomes impossible to ignore, Hugo turns to Cameron to help uncover the house’s dark history. They soon form a bond that goes beyond friendship, but as their feelings deepen, the White Lady's wrath intensifies. Entangled in a web of sinister secrets, they risk not only their love but their very existence.

Nice YA spooky romance; performance could be a bit better

I thought the narrator could be better at differentiating between the characters' voices or thoughts. I was often having to look at the chapter title to see which character he was portraying. The story was great and I'd like to read more from the author or even if this becomes a series.

cute story. not too deep but quick and fun

a coming of age story that happens to have ghosts involved. The ending is nicely wrapped up with an info dump which feels very 1990s sitcom.

Good plot focused book with gay characters

i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i like stories with gay main characters in them that aren't all focused on carnal relations. Good 0laot with a couple of plot twists that kept me interested

Chills and Hair Gripping Suspense

If you haven’t picked up this book, you should. It’s queer, it’s spooky, it has some twists and turns and it’s just soo damn good!

Love Love Love

This is ghostly gay catnip for this reader. All the MM feels and yearning and an engaging ghost story interwoven beautifully among well-drawn characters, flawed and charming and lovable, who I rooted for from start to finish. I hope we get more of these characters and this works and much more from this talented author.
