Two brothers, one haunted house, and lots of Chemistry. The Case of Thistledown House is a supernatural tale with lots of scope for more.
From the blurb:
Zeke Hanson hunts things that go bump in the night. He grew up traveling the country with his dad, who taught Zeke everything he knew. Until his murder forced Zeke into foster care for his remaining teenage years. Outgoing and with an easy charm, Zeke keeps his emotions safely hidden. Especially his ever-deepening love for his foster brother/bestie.
Ian Clark is a smart, intuitive young man with his own tragic past. He’s adored Zeke from their first night as roommates. Zeke's warmth and kindness made the foster home feel safe. But his feelings for Zeke have grown from admiration and friendship into intense physical yearning.
When Ian witnesses the murder of their foster sister, his plans for community college go on indefinite hold. Instead, he joins Zeke on his hunting travels. They may not be able to stop human monsters, but they can fight the supernatural ones. Spending time together and dealing with dangerous situations deepens their bond, making their secret feelings nearly impossible to contain. The risk of rejection and abandonment is scarier than any monster. But when Zeke’s life is at risk, Ian must make a choice.
Will they admit their love to one another or will it---and Zeke---perish?
Rogue's review:
- paranormal
- foster brothers
I am hoping this is the start of a series, as there's certainly a lot of scope for more from Zeke and Ian. The parallels with, and influence of Supernatural are all over this story. That's not a bad thing as I'm a massive Supernatural fan. Ian and Zeke are foster brothers and there's definitely some trauma in the past there, some is revealed - just enough to understand what's brought them to where they are at the start of the story. I did feel there was a little bit of a loose end with the sister but that can be tied up easily in later stories (and there better be more).
The story itself is nothing really new, but I liked learning the history of the house and why it ended up haunted, it was really well done and I really felt for those poor women. I liked Zeke and Ian too for the most part, although this is relatively low heat I'd definitely be in for seeing where they go from here.
I enjoyed this, there's good world building here and lots of scope for more.
The Case of Thistledown House is currently available as an e-book and paperback
