A little creepy and a lot fun. And Zeke gets all the best lines.

This was probably the simplest straightforward Tyack and Frayne book ever. Continuously spot on disturbing, Fox doesn’t ever fail to show the unbreakable bond between these two and throws brother Zeke in the mix for some levity.

Always with a good spooky atmosphere, Lee finds himself again the intermediary for a ghost who is adamant on being heard. Gideon of course, is not having it! Go forth and enjoy this Halloween shortie!

Fabulously spooky, funny and monstrous halloween update from Dark.
Shorter than the other books, this halloween special is no less packed with drama, hilarity, normality and sppoky monsters.
Lee is filming in an unhaunted haunted house, but when the crew leaves things happen. Gideon and Zeke don’t expect the empty house but Gid knows Lee is close -just can’t find where (cue humourous brotherly interchanges).
As we find out the fate of Ruth and Bill, there is still time for less friendly spirits to mess up Lee and Gid comes to his rescue once again. Almost a closed room mystery, with some of the authors views coming through and acold case mysterious death solved.
Enjoyed muchly! Always up for a visit to two of my fave characters

Super enjoyable and suitably creepy. It was lovely being back with with Lee and Gideon, and Harper Fox's writing is, as always, beautiful.

It's always fun to get a little more time with these two men. This one is short, and more black humor than angst despite a moment or two. An enjoyable little addition to the series.

And we're back in business!

This short story was all that Harper Fox get us used to: spooky, funny, emotional, and filled with love and surprises :D

It's Halloween, and Lee has finished filming his show. When his crew left him waiting for Gideon weird things happen. Of course! Old crimes, spooky werewolves, the ghost of a murdered writer, old foes and Zeke being magnificent... what else can you wish?

Oh, well, now I'm out to read the last book in this series... I think I'll be dragging my feet on that one. I really don't want to say goodbye to these characters...

I am always glad to have a new story about Lee and Gideon to read, and this is a good spooky short for Halloween. Lee and Gideon both have PoV sections, and Ezekiel plays a big role. Another familiar character is central to this tale, also (I don't want to spoil it). I didn't really appreciate the, um, patience shown towards the beliefs of the last book's villains. I'm just so angry these days, but that's my problem, not Harper Fox's. I love the ending - I'm a big fan of all the growth Ezekiel has had over the course of this series. I hope we'll see another of the Tyack-Frayne family's adventures very soon!
