“The Haunting Between Us,” by Paul Michael Winters 

 

This book was so amazing. My number one reason why I loved it was the characters. I loved the entire M/M aspect but also the struggles each of the characters was going through, separately and together. One character has body image struggles, which I love to see how realistic and relatable issues like that represented but also it felt stronger because it was a male character who has those struggles instead of the typical female character in a book. Their relationship as a couple was beyond adorable and really added a lighthearted vibe to a gothic type of horror that was happening in the plot. One of the MMC’s is closeted to his father so I loved that he also had his own struggles with that but also being in a single-parent home and all those issues that he works through. 

 

On top of the fantastic characters was the plot. I loved the spooky ghost house and all the horror themes. Even though it was dark and had dark imagery, the book felt light in enough places that it wasn’t all doom and gloom, I actually think the romance overshadowed all of that but in the best way. Anyways, I adored the book from beginning to end, all the characters were likeable, and it was a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.
