Ghosts in the Machine

Absinthe

by Ariel Graham

Evan's just wasting time on the internet when he finds the photo essay on abandoned buildings in Detroit, but his curiosity is aroused when a photo of a once-luxurious hotel room captures the image of a handsome young blond man, an image that changes every time Evan looks. As the man in the photo becomes increasingly panicked at something offscreen, something Evan can't see, Evan's need to play white knight and fly to the rescue from his northern Nevada home grows.

Evan knows he might be chasing a ghost, and being a hero isn't always easy. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's doing the rescuing without a scorecard. Evan finds Jonathan, the man in the picture, but while Jonathan isn't a ghost, he is trapped in time inside the hotel and the hotel itself is full of ghosts. If Evan's going to have a chance at a life with Jonathan, he has to get both of them out of the hotel while protecting and sometimes relying on a man he's just met and may not be able to trust. No one ever said the path to true love is easy.

3.5*

I liked the plot, but the book can stand more editing. Dialog and sequence of events were not always clear. I found myself confused more than once.
Three and a half stars.
For those curious: the m/m action is almost non existent.

Very weird.
