Summary: Blaine wants to get away from the city, so when friends ask him to accompany them to a haunted house in Upstate New York to film a documentary over spring break, he's more than happy to oblige. He's hoping for many chances to relax and take in the gorgeous surroundings between helping Artie with his film and participating in Brittany's seances. Instead, he has to deal with power outages, washed out roads, no cell service, and the possibility that all of these events have been set up by the staff. The one bright spot is a very intriguing fellow guest named Kurt, who believes every story about the estate and its infamous otherwordly inhabitants. As Blaine gets closer to Kurt, he finds himself becoming a stalwart believer right along side him.

Review:
March isn't really the season for ghost stories, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate a good one. Especially when it comes with healthy loadings of flirting, comedy and intrigue.

Not gonna lie: when I was reading this, I did jump if someone came into the room or made a loud noise, and not because I have a nervous disposition. It's incredibly easy to be sucked into the story and into the sense of mystery and spookiness, and the twists and turns of the plot have a captivating aura about them.

And not only is it spooky. The flirty banter--and then more--offsets the darkness beautifully, and makes for a beautiful romance between Kurt and Blaine. The tension between them is there from the very first meeting, and continues throughout the whole story.

If you're like me, I wouldn't suggest reading this in the dark!
