Beau Bones
Beau Bones is as honest as you'll let him be. At twenty-three he doesn't believe in aliens, vampires, ghosts, or himself. He's a skeptic, he's paid to not believe; Beau is the voice of reason, the devil's advocate, he's the one no one ever listens to. So when paranormal researcher and professional pretty boy Zap Laughlin shows up to turn him into a superstar (and maybe get into his pants) almost everyone loses their collective mind. Especially Beau.
When one of the most haunted places in Louisiana is burned to the ground, all fingers are quick to snap Beau's direction. He's a bright boy with a smart mouth, he knows what it looks like. Beau also knows Pontayune Plantation might be the one ghost story even he can't debunk.

Did not finish
March 30, 2019I'm not going to rate this.
First of all - I freely admit that I'm probably not of the generation the book is intended for.
But - what I got to say is that from a purely technical point of view, it's not a well-crafted book. There are too many dangly bits - and I'm not talking about genitalia but about bits and bobs of the narration that are just left hanging. From what I'm seeing so far I don't have a lot of faith that they will be tied down neatly.
I do see a lot of potential and there is some nice snark going on but my advice to the author is - get some beta readers who love you less and who will ask the tough "why" and "how" questions because there are many, many holes in that narration and at the end of the day - get a professional editor. Being quirky and outlandish will get you only so far.
So, decent bones but I think the author can do better.

Good starting off story for what promises to be a fun series. Beau was a great character to read.

Well, isn't this a day full of surprises? Beau Bones, debunker extraordinaire finds himself entering a contest to debunk a ghost story... except this one is the only one he thinks it's true. And it does because the man he hates is asking nicely. Also, he might be gay... and be falling for said man.
This is a great suspense story with a romance intertwined in it and characters who are weird and lovely. I really liked, although I think a little bit of background would have been nice. Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to the next in the series.
A truly entertaining read.

Hmm
Okay, so first off, it's not a bad book. I liked the concept a lot but I feel like it didn't flow very well. There wasn't a whole lot of back story or buildup to the conclusion and some of the sentence structures left me having to reread trying to figure out if there was a missing/extra word or whether something was off with the punctuation. Like I said, I really liked the concept, but feel like it could've been better.

I received this book from the author and voluntarily reviewed. It was also an ARC and not the final copy. Details could differ from the published version.
I don't usually read books where the main character doesn't think he's gay, or ones where they start out hating each other. But this time, the author made the story more important than angsty feelings. I'm not saying it was glossed over, there will definitely be things to work out, but they had more important things to do. Ghosts to bust, mysteries to solve, whatever.
My only real problem was that there seemed to be background details that were missing. Some of them could just be setting up for later books, but some of the main story could have used some bulking up.
The characters were fun and weird, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.

Great book
This was a great book. Beau was funny and sarcastic with a cool little paranormal mystery thrown in. I loved how natural the relationship between him and Zap progressed. Overall, great book and well written story.

I had high hopes for this but it was disjointed, confusing, not enough explanation of anything and there was nothing paranormal about it.

OMG, I just loved Beau. He was so freaking snarky and irreverent. I really enjoyed the back and forth between him and Zed. It was also funny enough that I found myself laughing out loud more than once (hipster memes 😂). I absolutely want to read more about Beau.
