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.

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

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.

The haunting

The book was a little predictable but very well written. There were parts that made my hair stand up I would definitely recommend!

Loved it!

I basically finished this book in less than 2 days! It was amazing 💜 it was captivating, scary and extremely satisfying!

This needs to be a movie! So GOOD!!

This is the second book of Winters that I read and blew my mind. His first book was excellent, so how do I describe this knowing I loved it even more. I’ll leave the literary wording to Mr Winters.

Looking forward to his next book.

Hahn Vibes

The sample doesn't do it justice. I took a recommendation from an author I follow. When I listened to the sample I was like "meh". Wasn't sure it was worth the credit, but it sat back in my head for a couple of days until I committed. I really liked it! It reminded me of the Mary Downing Hahn books I read as a kid, so if you're looking for that level of ghost story and a queer romance this is your book! Thanks for story!

Great storytelling!

Great story telling. Yes it’s a love story but it’s not the whole story. It’s a little scary, a little funny, a little lovey dovey, and 100% awesome.

Okay, wow!

I downloaded this on a whim after seeing a rec on Reddit and boy was I not disappointed! I devoured this. The story was incredible, the romance was perfect, and the narrator has jumped to a top three spot in my favorites list. 10/10 recommend!

Loved it!

Great story, very likable MC's and secondary characters. The story gripped me from the beginning & never let up.

I loved the characters so much that I wish this was the beginning of a series.

Great narration makes the story truly come to life. This amazing coming-of-age story was heartfelt, tender & very believable. I highly recommend it to everyone of any age!
