a bit less cunningly organized, but somehow no less satisfying than the first.
my mind wandered a bit during some of the musing digressions, and of course now that tyack and frayne are together there's next to none of the loneliness and in-waiting feeling of the first one (knowing there are three more books kinda takes the edge out of any useful relationship tension there might be, speaking in terms of dramatic potential), but then Harper Fox went ahead and Harper Foxed the shit outta things and i was just sitting here gobbling the the words up like:
so. yeah.
[nimbly hops into yellow cab; slams door]
the sequel, and step on it!

The second book was better in the way that I was able to build a good connection with the two main characters.
It's still strange, but that's probably because of the writing style, which I'm slowly growing to like.
The plot is even scarier than in the first book, at least for me, because I'm a scaredy-cat. But it was good.
And I'm so curious to see how the relationship develops.
Lee’s first formal visit to Gideon’s home up in Bodmin – to visit his dog, ostensibly – had been a success. His second and his third had gone so well that Gideon had had to invest in a new bedframe. 🤭🤭🤭
He gave it up. Groaning, he pulled Lee down into his arms, rolled him over onto his back and covered him. Lee’s gasp of protest turned into a drawn-out wail. He wrapped his legs round Gideon’s waist to invite and welcome his thrust. “Yes. Finish it – now, now, now...” 😳😳😳

I love this series so much. It's still creepy af even though it's not been that long since I read it the first time. And, I love Gideon and Lee as a couple. Gideon is always there to protect Lee and watch over him. Beautiful!
Originally read August 2018
Warning: Do not read these books in the dark. They are creepy and scary as hell.
Lee and Gideon are still new in their relationship. Gideon takes some time off to spend part of the holidays with Lee. But something is not right and once again, they are caught up in a mystery where certain forces are using Lee.
The writing in these books is hauntingly beautiful that just sets the mood for the story. But that underlying creepiness that you can't quite figure out is what will have you hiding under the bed. And it's still haunting Lee. The thing is, I can't believe this book was only 97 pages. I feel like I read a full length novel and I just want more.

Any reservations I had in Novella 1, POOF! be gone you bitch ass reservations because LEE AND GIDEON ARE THE CUTIEST OF PATOOTIES 🤭🤭🤭
Also, the spooky, possession, exorcism elements and Lee often being spooky and mysterious SLAPS SO HARD for a novella hehehe. I am invested.
Also, Gideon's transition from scared to be out gay man to "THIS IS MY BOYFRIEND BITCH AND I AM SEXY COP MAN WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" 🥵🥵🥵

Review written January 30, 2016
3 1/2 Stars - Creepier, more confusing odd but well told and inspiring for more reading
Book #2
A Tyack & Frayne series-BR with my sweet reading-buddy Sofia - start this last January weekend. We were both was immediately hooked reading the first book and continued with this second at once. — Another good installment.
*********************************************
Cornwall, south England, UK
The Tyack & Frayne series is so far six shorter (75-100 pages) novella episodes in the M/M mystery genre with a new "case" in every part. In essence, however much focus on the development of the romance between these men.
• #1-Once Upon A Haunted Moor (4 stars)
The local police, the "copper" Gideon Frayne was desperately searching for a missing child on the Cornwall Bodmin Moor, next to the small Dark village where he work and lives, when he first met Lee Tyack. Lee is a clairvoyant man who sees and feel strange mysterious things. There were strong feelings and a deep attraction between these two at once.
We got a quickly moving "insta-love" topic but nevertheless believable for me. Intense, raw and truly sexy (without too much explicit words). — Simply intriguing romance stuff from start.
Two months later, winter solstice and Christmas week.
Gideon is visiting Lee in Falmouth and get the chance to enjoy one of Lee's shows and later also join to check out some weird things in an old house.
There were more unbelievable strange paranormal mystery things happening here. Odd things. Odd things with Lee and from nowhere did Ezekiel, Gideon's minister brother appear. What? Really? I didn't really get it this time. I got angry about the characters and started to roll my eyes and it bothered me. Much.
I had honestly a pretty hard time with this part.
Spooky, creepy, uncomfortable and too much inexplicable happened. It all made me shudder. — But, but, I keep my fingers crossed for a more enjoyable "case" in book-part three.
And the romance and relationship part?
The romance developed in a nice way in the end. Still loving these two together. This time we also got to know more about family, old parents, siblings and more. Thanks for that.
*********************************************
All in all a good read. Harper Fox creates magic and her writing is sometimes stunning beautiful. Applauses to her way of making me feel this mystical Cornwall atmosphere. — I need something easier and lighter right now but will of course soon continue with #3-Don't Let Go.
I LIKE - spooky unbelievable weird also ...oddly enough

I constantly want to hand over some cough drops to the narrator... Gideon is thirty years old for cryin' out loud, not pushing sixty... 🙄
Story: *** 3 Stars***
The creeps are on holiday, I guess. Not the same hair raising factor as the first one, or I'm just getting used to it. -;)

Another delightful and refreshing novella in the series! I love how gruff cop Gideon is progressing from a secretive and ashamed gay man to being proud and protective of Lee in public, my heart has officially melted 🫠🫠
This is really a strong all-round package of a novella. I’m loving Lee and Gideon. Easy listening, nice narration and engaging characters with a succinct, spooky mystery.
For some reason I keep thinking this is historical, maybes it’s the way Gideon is narrated or the tone of the writing but I get the funniest little surprises whenever they mention watching something on the telly or getting out their phones.
A jolly good time has been had! Loving the quirky yet relevant titles.
Bonus points for being free on my Aussie Audible Plus subscription.

3.5 Stars
Coincidentally, this fits perfectly within the holiday season, as Gideon takes some time off before Christmas to visit his lover, Lee. Though it may be too soon, feelings run easy and deeply, and the intensity of their desire has yet to wane.
So, Gideon tags along with Lee on a psychic read of a “haunted house” and it seems this time around, Lee is affected significantly, so much so that Gideon starts to fear that something more sinister is at work. Though the mystery was a bit convoluted and the explanations and resolutions felt rushed and somewhat vague, the dynamic between these two is what counts.
Both Lee and Gidon are “all in”, dancing that dance of early relationship doubt, never wanting to impose too much or ask for more. Soon though, they each realize the other wants exactly what they want, strengthening their connection.
Not overly long (which is a shame), this again made me want more out of Gideon and Lee’s relationship. Though the romance is satisfying, it’s not protracted in the details (darn). I was still able to feel so much regarding these two, and that will keep me coming back for more.

An endearing segment as the lives of Gideon and Lee start to intertwine. I love the development in the relationship and the organic growth of the reader's knowledge about them through it, but while the mystery component was extremely intense it was wrapped up so quickly that it effectively negated the horrific elements.
Love the characters and the series' arc, but was shortchanged on the resolution of the book's arc.

Spooky
The book where:
• It is almost Christmas time.
• Homeless people disappear.
• Gideon is having holidays and visits Lee.
• Lee performs one of his shows that Gideon watches for the first time.
• A prediction about a Tinsel Fish will drive Lee crazy and Gideon does not know how he can help.
• They will need to visit a creepy house and Lee will start acting weirdly.
• Lee will finally meet Gideon’s strange parents and his even stranger brother. I am actually looking forward learning more about priest Ezekiel.
While the first book had a mysterious atmosphere, everything was explained logically in the end.
This time Gideon and Lee will meet the spiritual world. There will be a paranormal twist in this book, which I highly enjoyed it. Ezekiel, although a bit homophobic and scary, seems to be a truly good guy who wants to help.
The bond between Gideon and Lee will be stronger and apparently they are ready to take the next step.
A very interesting series. I hope that the paranormal side of the mysteries they solve will continue in the next books.

Most importantly, a giant thank you to Vio for the gift *hugs*
I enjoyed this even more than the first one. Fox's writing is richer than ever, but she's integrating the descriptive passages with the plot to a greater degree, so it's not quite so . . . overwhelming. There's a lot going on in this, and a lot of characters, but it never feels messy: she puts all the pieces together perfectly.
Also, what a delightful change to have a Christian character who isn't a homophobic arse.
I'm going to have to re-read this next winter, when the wind is howling and I have hot chocolate with marshmellows. I suspect it will be even better than it is with a hot summer day.
3.5, rounded up

Audio - good audio, some voices better than others and did notice Lee and Gid change voices once towards the end. It's a quick solve but enough going on for the length of the story, and I think a fair balance of relationship, family, mystery.
-- --
re-read.
Loved this, the series just gains strength. It has all the atmosphere of the first story giving that sense of depth and 'other'. The mystery isn't as urgent as in the first book, it's chilling but takes a back-seat to character development. Of more concern is it's affect on Lee and what that might mean.
Lee and Gideon as a couple is new, they've a lot to learn of each other yet there's already a sense of permanence about them, they compliment each other so well. While we don't learn Lee's secrets in this it's made clear he has them. We do however get to meet Gideon's family. Ezekiel an old crow of a minister yet unexpected, there's vulnerability there and Harper doesn't serve us a stereotype - he's firm in his beliefs but not closed off.
Some nice imagery:
And how great is this message?:
Also spotted an unobtrusive visit from the characters of The Salisbury Key.

Mystery wise -- I think I enjoyed the missing girl case in Once Upon A Haunted Moor better. There was still a sinister feel in this, when Lee tried to get rid of an evil presence in a woman's house; but I felt that the missing girl case had time-was-running-out intensity to it.
Having said that, I loved the story for the intimacy and relationship between Gideon and Lee. Harper Fox portrayed tenderness so beautifully amidst the strong sense of place (one of her strength, obviously). I loved when these two were together. There was something vulnerable yet so loving between them -- especially when Gideon trying to figure out what happened to Lee.
I also loved how Ms. Fox didn't take the oh-so-cliché path when introducing Gideon's brother, Ezekiel. It was easy (and sometimes lazy) to make someone, a pastor of Christian faith becoming homophobic. But Ezekiel was more to meets the eyes and I loved that.
There wasn't enough Isolde, the dog ... but that's okay, I figure there will be more of this series? Because there's still so much more to tell, right? What's with Lee and the relationship with his deceased Dad for example... I would love to read more about them.

Yet again Fox packs in a good, creepy story, the continuance of an intense relationship and much too and fro in Cornwall in a short. She is a good packer. I like how she is getting us deeper into the characters and introducing new ones. No man is an island and no relationship is either.
Loved Nurse Isolde.

I enjoyed this book more than the first. I felt more of the connection and feelings between the two main characters. I liked getting to see them spend more time together. I also loved how accepting the sex scenes were, for lack of a better word. Lee just always makes Gideon feel so accepted and comfortable about his body. There were also some family relationships brought into this book, and I'm curious to see how some of them will progress. The mystery in this book was sorely lacking though. I still don't fully understand it, and the men didn't so much solve anything as just kinda be in the right places at the right times while things happened. I don't think the individual mysteries are really the focus of the series, at least not so far, but if something is going to be in a book, I still want it to be good. My thoughts on the audiobook narration can be found in my review for the first book. Overall, I enjoyed this, it was another quick read/listen, and I'm getting more invested in these likeable characters.

Consider me spooked. The story scared the *** out of me when I went for my early morning dogwalk. Had to change to something not so scary while walking the road without streetlights. Can't get enough of these two and going for book nr three.

Harper Fox really knows how to write a succinct and entertaining mystery read. This story flowed so well, packing its short 97 page length to the brim with an intriguing (and creepy-ass) mystery plot, lots of interesting and well-developed characters, and some perfectly paced relationship development between the leads, Gideon and Lee.
Tinsel Fish was a great sequel in this very awesome and spooky little series. I look forward to reading more about these characters going forward.

Another fabulous little crime mystery/ psychic detective novella. These stories feel so efficient in their story telling but I am also impressed with how fleshed out the world and story feel considering how short they are.
There isn’t a heap of spice in these but I don’t know if it’s the way it’s written or the narration but that shit has me blushing hard.
Only slightest nitpick is considering they’re meant to be in their 30s the narrators voice for Gideon sounds like it belongs to a man much older than that. But it’s not going to stop me binging more of these.

Brilliant title!!!
Another very well written story, with more mystery and the supernatural, the whole atmosphere was just amazing, it felt like I was there.
Oddly this book gave a felling of "not finished", for a moment I though there were some pages missing... just a small detail, the whole it was very intriguing, just love the plot, it was perfect!!
Cover of the book, very nice and consistent.
I also listened through Audible, lovely work from the narrator Tim Gilbert, I love that he can do very solid and different voices, very believable, although I think at the end he mixed up some of the voices.

Review from 2018
I've given this an A for narration and an A- for content at AudioGals, so that's pretty close to 5 stars!
Tinsel Fish, the second book in Harper Fox’s Tyack and Frayne series, takes place shortly after the events of book one (Once Upon A Haunted Moor), and TV psychic Lee Tyack and Cornish bobby Gideon Frayne are a few weeks into the relationship they began in that book.
As Tinsel Fish opens, Gideon has taken some time off work and has gone to Falmouth to surprise Lee with a visit. He’s fairly sure of his welcome, but there’s a little niggle of apprehension at the back of his mind that wonders if perhaps he’s overstepped the line, considering he and Lee have never really spoken about taking things further than their current pattern of comfortable togetherness and spectacular sex. He’s on his way to Lee’s flat when he’s accosted by a homeless man; Gideon buys him something to eat while listening to his ramblings about how so many of the other homeless he’s known have just disappeared into thin air. Sadly, it’s the sort of story with which Gideon is only too familiar; the almost unremarked disappearances of the homeless, the nameless and the forgotten who end up as mere statistics in government reports.
Outside Lee’s door, Gideon is surprised to hear raised voices coming from inside – he thought Lee lived alone. After a thoroughly enthusiastic greeting, Lee explains he’d had the TV on with the volume up and asks Gideon if he will come to the show he’s doing that night in town. It’s not Gideon’s ‘thing’, Lee knows, but all the same, he’d like him to be there. Of course, Gideon agrees, and finds himself impressed by Lee’s stage presence and aura of quiet confidence. All is going swimmingly until Lee suddenly collapses as he’s talking to a woman about her missing daughter – and the show comes to an abrupt halt.
After Gideon has taken Lee home and asks if he can remember what happened, all Lee can recall is getting a vivid signal from somewhere, the words “Tinsel” and then “Fish” – after which he felt like someone had knocked him down. Now, however, it’s little more than a vague impression, and he doesn’t know what to make of it. Later, at a restaurant, they are finishing their meal when a woman who is clearly in some distress heads for their table. She lives in an old cottage a few miles out of town – and believes it houses something evil. Whatever the presence there is, it has started to affect her in serious ways, and she doesn’t know where – other than Lee – to turn for help.
Lee – whom Gideon has already realised is completely incapable of turning down such a request – agrees to meet Rachel Jones at her home and he asks his colleagues from the TV show he works on to come as well. He can immediately sense the malice Rachel is talking about, but something goes badly wrong, and afterwards Lee is somehow … different. His changed behaviour worries Gideon, who takes Lee home to Bodmin in hopes that a change of scenery might help – but Lee is still ‘off’ and Gideon doesn’t know how to help him.
The connection between Lee and Gideon has always been strong, but here we see just how much they care for each other and how far they’ve come as a couple in such a short time. Gideon has begun to recognise that Lee’s gifts don’t come without a price, and now fears he may have lost the man he fell in love with – yet he doesn’t accuse or reject him, just cares for and tries to protect him the best way he can. While there’s another, non-supernatural, mystery going on in the story, it’s this idea of having someone you care for stolen away by something you can’t see or fight that gave me chills; how is solid, loving, pragmatic Gideon going to get ‘his’ Lee back?
As it turns out, with a bit of help from an unexpected quarter – but I’m not saying more than that; you’ll have to listen to find out!
As with Once Upon a Haunted Moor, the mystery is self-contained and wrapped up by the end, but it seems Harper Fox is clearly writing a serial and gradually unfolding a longer, more complex story. There are still questions to be answered; what exactly is the spiritual danger Lee is facing? Who – or what – keeps trying to get into the house? How is Gideon able to hear Lee’s psychic arguments? And while we get to meet some of Gideon’s family here, Lee is still a bit of a mystery and I am eagerly awaiting whatever revelations are to come about his past and his psychic gifts.
In both the books I’ve listened to so far, I’ve enjoyed the way the author so skilfully weaves together her different plot threads, the way in which the supernatural and the mundane intersect and impinge on one another. Her descriptions of wintry, out-of-season Cornwall paint vivid pictures in the mind’s eye:
Five days before Christmas, the ancient seaside town was lit up with every bulb and bauble the council could afford. Strings of lights picked out the line of the harbour and crisscrossed the narrow cobbled main street that followed the waterfront.
And the whole tale is gorgeously atmospheric, permeated by an undercurrent of malevolence in which Gideon and Lee’s love for one another stands out like a beacon.
Tim Gilbert is an excellent choice of narrator for this series and delivers another expert and thoroughly enjoyable performance. His portrayals of Lee and Gideon are utterly perfect, reflecting their physicality as well as their personalities, and, as I said in my review of Once Upon a Haunted Moor, his regional accents are consistently applied and have subtle variations depending on where the characters are from and how old they are. His female voices are good, too – no stratospheric alterations in pitch; a slight softening of timbre does the job nicely. The secondary characters are all well realised, too, especially Gideon’s older brother Ezekiel, whose booming bass/baritone works perfectly for the large, imposing Methodist minister who, while he may not approve of his brother’s lifestyle, nonetheless cares about him and has a pivotal role to play in the story.
All in all, Tinsel Fish is compelling, spooky and romantic – and, at around three and a half hours, far too short! But it’s a fabulously enjoyable little morsel, and with seven of the eight stories now available in audio, I can binge or eke them out as the mood takes me.
I've given this an A for narration and an A- for content at AudioGals, so that's pretty close to 5 stars!
Tinsel Fish, the second book in Harper Fox’s Tyack and Frayne series, takes place shortly after the events of book one (Once Upon A Haunted Moor), and TV psychic Lee Tyack and Cornish bobby Gideon Frayne are a few weeks into the relationship they began in that book.
As Tinsel Fish opens, Gideon has taken some time off work and has gone to Falmouth to surprise Lee with a visit. He’s fairly sure of his welcome, but there’s a little niggle of apprehension at the back of his mind that wonders if perhaps he’s overstepped the line, considering he and Lee have never really spoken about taking things further than their current pattern of comfortable togetherness and spectacular sex. He’s on his way to Lee’s flat when he’s accosted by a homeless man; Gideon buys him something to eat while listening to his ramblings about how so many of the other homeless he’s known have just disappeared into thin air.

I was really torn over whether or not to continue with this series, so I cheated and read the spoilers for the next couple of books. Apparently they're about to , and I have to admit that may have tipped the scales against the series for me.

Another really nice performance in the audio version by Tim Gilbert. He does a terrific job with the old ladies and the kids. Oh, and the younger brother of Gideon who is a hell-fire and brimstone Methodist preacher.
Tinsel Fish is an intriguing paranormal mystery too, but I'll freely admit it was kind of overshadowed by Mr. Gilbert's performance.

4.5 stars
From Halloween to the winter solstice, Gideon and Lee are still very much in awe of this thing between them, still in the honeymoon days of their delicate, quick-fire attraction. On the shortest day of the year, where darkness overwhelms light, the guys stumble onto another anomaly in their community. By now, Gideon is a firm believer in Lee’s extra-sensory abilities, he’s moved from skeptic to protector as he witnesses just how much these ‘gifts’ take a toll on Lee, this man who puts himself in peril to help those in need. Gideon… I love his confusion and how he fights his loneliness, fights to keep Lee close. How Lee is like a cool drink of water in the desert for him. Yet, he knows something is being kept from him.
The dark feel of this is as much about Lee’s secrets-- all the things he can’t quite tell Gideon (and us)-- as it is about a missing persons’ mystery. I love Lee to pieces, even more than in the first book. He’s one of the most giving, generous people I’ve read in this genre. I love how he sees into the depths of the hunky Gideon. But here, he goes from consoler to needy, and Gideon rises fiercely to the challenge. There is such passion between them… and the ability to hurt. I’m hanging in there for when Lee finally learns to open up.
These guys are delivered to us by a pen so deft and generous, yet never overdone. Somehow it melds together family drama (we finally meet Gid’s parents and brother) and even brings in characters from another book (archeologist, Daniel Logan of The Salisbury Key makes an appearance). It frustrates somewhat that we are still kept guessing about Lee’s secrets, but I’m still hooked, I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. I like this one even more than the first for its development of the tender, sweet love story. The mystery gives substance to the story, but this is still very much about two men finding their way to each other.
I’ve said it before, will say it again… this is some elegant storytelling, well crafted and satisfying, fitting together the puzzle pieces of community with family, of small-town drama, of sex and love, of a complex, compelling couple A treat to be savored.

As always with Harper Fox, the writing is stellar. Good pacing and vivid descriptions. I really liked the setting of the Cornish countryside in the middle of winter.
The mystery takes a while to get going, but was very entertaining. The plot this time around has a lot more paranormal than in book 1. The resolution was a bit too neat, but I still enjoyed the ride. It wasn't too spooky, but this author definitely knows how to keep an audience on the edge!
However, I was a tad bit let down by the romance. Book 2 fast forwards a number of months from where Gideon and Lee were at the end of book 1, when they were tentatively embarking on their romance. The result is that a lot of the relationship development just isn't on page, which I hoping to see.
Even so, Gideon and Lee are so sweet together. I may have swooned a couple of times when they were making heart eyes at each other. They're two halves of a whole, and are clearly meant to be with one another.
Overall, a solid addition. On to book 3.

An excellent follow up to the first book. I really liked the plot in this one. The mix of family drama and supernatural forces worked really well for me. I liked seeing Gideon and Lee's relationship growing, and developing. I'm really hoping for more books in this series. It's been really good so far.

Tyack and Frayne ride again in deepest, darkest, mysterious Cornwall.
Homeless people go missing from time to time in Falmouth and no one really knows why, but because they are homeless no one really cares either. Gideon is in Falmouth to visit Lee after he has been away filming a series for television about haunted buildings. Although Lee really doesn’t believe in spirits and ghosts, being a little more rational, I liked his view on things and how he explains this during one of his shows in Falmouth……
I really liked the take that Lee has on things, even I could find myself agreeing with that and also rational enough for Gideon to get his mind around the whole idea of Lee’s perceptions and talents too.
This time Lee has been called in by a woman who is experiencing strange and unexplainable things in her house. While having a romantic evening for two, Lee and Gideon are approached in a restaurant by a woman who is obviously in some distress. The presence in her house is affecting her well being and she doesn’t know where else to go but to Lee to get answers. Lee and Gideon go to visit the house and bring the camera team with them. Well, needless to say what happens defies explanation and leaves Lee a changed man. He starts to behave in ways that worry Gideon and is totally out of character for him. So Gideon whisks him off to his cottage on Bodmin Moor to get him away from things. However, Lee is still out of sorts.
One morning Lee wakes and starts to wonder and Gideon has to go chasing after him. Here we meet the bible thumping, austere, Methodist minister that is Gideon’s older brother. Quite a spooky character in his own right. However, we learn that deep beneath this religious fanaticism he still cares and can’t totally reject his younger brother Gideon, no matter how he might disapprove of his lifestyle. Ezekiel seems to recognise the problem and looks like the only one that can get Lee back to normal.
I liked the fact we get to meet Gideon’s side of the family. If you want to know where people are coming from with their attitudes in life I’ve always been a firm believer of meet the direct family, it always explains a lot. I hope in the next Tyack and Frayne adventure we learn a little more about Lee’s side of the family. However, Gideon in this book becomes more comfortable in his skin and basically has a coming out of sorts in the fact he learns not to care what others really think about him and his open affection for Lee in public.
Lee goes back to the house with Ezekiel and Gideon this time and manages to get behind the problem causing the disturbance in the house. It’s obviously very difficult to write a more in-depth synopsis of this story otherwise I would have to give too much of the mystery surprise away. Needless to say the mystery-murder part is once again well plotted out, cohesive and although dealing with supernatural goings-on still remains totally within the bounds of reality and believability. There are more things to heaven and earth than meets the eye!
What I loved about this book is that Gideon's and Lee’s love for each other deepens as they both start to understand each other better. Gideon realising that Lee is not his normal self after the experience in the house, worries constantly about this but doesn’t reject him or cast him aside, but cares for him and tries to make everything right.
Harper manages so well in her writing to create the mysterious atmosphere of Cornwall. A place that sometimes, even though I come from Cornwall, I reckon still manages to remain twenty years behind the rest of the world – lol! The foreboding atmosphere in the Cornish cottage is one such example. Some of these cottages are hundreds of years old and made of solid granite and every cottage probably has it’s own deep rooted history to tell ~ if walls could only talk. Harper obviously knows the area well, describes the locals beautifully with their quirkiness and maybe simple views on things. Here is one of my favourite quotes which really sums the attitude of the locals up in such a simple way...
Never a truer word spoke – lol! This illustrated to me how well Harper has got to know the locals and their peninsular mentality. Not a local herself, but obviously has a great love of the area, its traditions, its countryside, nature and local people. This so comes across in her writing. Again her writing is descriptive, flows easily and reads beautifully. She manages to create a mysterious and spooky atmosphere that will send cold, shivery showers down your back and will keep you turning the page for more.
Can’t wait for the next Tyack and Frayne adventure. Let there be lots more to come.
on 1st Jan. Harper will be visiting us on Sinfully Sexy with a guest post and telling us some of the background on these two guys living in deepest, darkest Cornwall and a giveaway.

“What I do believe is that, as we live with the people we love – or even those we hate – we take some part of them inside ourselves. And when those people die, that part stays with us. So if I tap into anything that seems to come from what's called the other side, I believe I’m reading signals you carry about with you from your connection with those people”

Once again I swallowed up this book and left no crumbs. There really isn’t much I can say, because like the last one, this book is so short that going into any detail feels like spoiler central.
Overall, I think I might have enjoyed this one more than the first. Maybe because it was a tiny bit longer and we already had the relationship with Lee and Gideon established. The book just jumps right into it, and I’m here for it.
I wish there were 200 more pages, but yeah, it’s still a good time — and this one was slightly creepier too.
