Whispers at Blackthorn Estate

by Tamsyn L. Key

Millie just wants to finish her degree and is working two jobs to do so. One night while working her night job at Nix, a local BDSM Goth club, she finds herself being invited to a séance and, to everyone's surprise, ends up channeling a spirit. Shaken by the events, she is stunned to be approached by two men who ask her to help release some spirits from a haunted Gothic mansion. With the money offered, she would finally be able to finish school. How could she possibly refuse? Not to mention the men hiring her are the sexiest duo she has ever seen.Step-brothers Silas and Jordan have been trying to find a medium to help cleanse their family home, Blackthorn Estate, of the spirits that remain trapped inside. When they meet Millie, they are sure they have found the one they have been looking for. They hope she will help them and not run when she discovers it is more than just ghosts going bump in the night. However, there is a secret the boys have been keeping from her, and if she were to find out would she abandon their cause, their beds, and their hearts?

ARC for an honest review - a really interesting plot and characters. Overall I enjoyed it and even creeped myself out at some points reading at night. The writing style is really fast paced but still descriptive and full of details so you don’t feel like you miss anything.

My big issue was finding out the reason for the guys wanting Millie as the medium so early on as I was just waiting for the aftermath of that to come. Would have been better if we found one at the same time Millie did

This is an eerie, paranormal why-choose romance that delivers mystery, magic, and slow-burning tension. Set against the haunting backdrop of Blackthorne Estate, this story follows Millie, a plus-size heroine with heart and grit, as she navigates the secrets swirling around stepbrothers, Jordan and Silas.

Think Supernatural meets steamy gothic romance: Jordan and Silas channel serious Winchester vibes, complete with brooding glances and cryptic warnings. But as paranormal activity ramps up at the estate, Millie realizes she’s not just caught between two men, she’s at the center of something much darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined.

The chemistry crackles, the stakes rise, and the secrets unravel in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you love curvy heroines, haunted mansions, and MFM dynamics with emotional depth, this one’s for you.

Thank you to Tamsyn Key for the review copy!

🌙👻 Whispers at Blackthorn Estate completely owned me from page one! This paranormal why-choose has everything—dark vibes, addictive spice, and a plot that keeps you clinging to the edge of your seat.

The mix of MMCs is absolute perfection—their contrasts only made the group dynamic hotter🔥 and more intense. The steamy scenes had me fanning myself, but what I loved even more? The story never let up. Twists, chills, and heart-stopping suspense had me looking over my shoulder more than once. 😱

If you’re looking for a spooky-season binge read that blends heat with haunting thrills, this is it. Add Whispers at Blackthorn Estate to your TBR—you won’t regret it! 🕸️✨

If you are a horror movie fanatic that also loves dark romance this book is for you! Think the movie The Conjuring but add in why choose and lots of romance. If those 2 are your vibe this book is definitely one you need to check out.

Millie learns that she is the comes from a line of people with supernatural abilities and that she herself is a medium and can communicate with the dead. Jordan and Silas need her help to rid there home of spirits. This book gave me major Conjuring vibes. The perfect Halloween dark romance book!

The best reading for autumn (or any time!)

I loved how engaging the story was, and I was honestly disappointed when I finished, but I was promised there would be a follow up of some sort. I really was excited (and at times jealous ;) ) of Millie, and the spicy scenes were very well executed! And not to include a spoiler, but the ending was exactly how I wanted it to be. If you haven't read this yet, you should!

This book drew me in from the very start. It kept me awake because I couldn't put it down. Not only are the characters sexy, the story is rich and keeps you wondering what will happen next. With all of the ghost and paranormal weirdness, it certainly has a "Supernatural" vibe if "Supernatural had been made by HBO. This is a must read!

This was a fun spooky sexy read. You can’t help but love Millie. She’s such a real character that owns who she is. Silas and Jordan? Who wouldn’t want to be in that sandwich? I don’t know if I’ve ever read a ghost and smut book like this before but I really enjoyed it. If you’re looking for a quicker lighter read with a little darkness and some hot brothers then definitely try this one

Creepy and cute

This was like Haunted Mansion for adults. Really loved the FMC and her story, she's strong willed and knows who she is. Enjoyed the differences between Silas and Jordan, but also their similarities. The perfect book to kick off the spooky season 😁🎃🦇

A fall must read! I was hooked from page 1, sipping my PSL reading. I couldn't put it down, finished it in one day.
My only real complaint is that it wasn't longer
