I mostly enjoyed this book. The good parts are that Levi & Blue seem to be mostly nice people with decent senses of humor. The problem is that humor is generic. Then the decisions they make, or maybe the way their decisions are revealed, in the big action sequence was irritatingly dumb. If they were truly following Blue’s instincts/ perceptions, they should have considered them before deciding things, not after doing the stuff that gets horror movie extras killed. I almost wallbanged it but was nearly done so powered through that scene. It was kind of redeemed, but there were a series of bad choices that didn’t make sense in the order presented. I guessed the villain from the jump but wasn’t exactly reading for that reveal, more for the specifics & the relationship so it was fine, just not tricksy. If you want a generally pleasant romance with generally decent guys and weird ghosts doing inexplicable things that are only scary or gross a few times, then this book is a fun little jaunt with a little bit of grim. Levi, generally, is kind of a blank. He has a dead mom & an ex and no other friends which seems odd. He has a solitary job drawing cartoons that seems to pay a lot more than I would expect since he can live 6 months in a hotel & never winces at room service pricing. He’s nice enough, I guess, and one financially comfortable person who is unsettled himself can’t solve the systemic housing problems of a city, but dragging Blue out of a hovel doesn’t give him a personality. He’s a stubborn clueless bumbler who at least can learn when his head gets knocked in, but he feels non-specific to me. Tho an artist who draws, He draws one thing for Blue that is mentioned once and forgotten utterly, when I thought Blue would treasure it, then later uses Blue as a muse without telling him, which I think is not ok for public sales. But his art isn’t integral to the story or character aside from his having a studio at all. Blue is a little more fleshed out but relies a lot on being a manic pixie dream boy. He has a couple friends & some fans. He can see dead people. I’m not sure if he and Levi have complimentary senses of humor or the same generic sense of humor but it feels like the latter. He stops dying his hair blue and we aren’t told why. (We can guess he doesn’t want to stain things but Levi doesn’t care about stains, so?). He makes some odd decisions generally, that maybe we’re supposed to chalk up to his chronically underfunded background but I felt like his broke-broke background didn’t inform his actions consistently enough to make him feel true. Worldbuilding: I was hard to tell how many characters were in on the part where the ghosts were real, and I would have liked more certainty. I did like the nods to Supernatural; that was cute. Steam: Med. There’s some M/M sexytimes on page with copious spitting. But I was annoyed when a scene played out that seemed like Levi was coaching Blue, a former sex worker, on the most basic of basics of bottoming. Basics of emotion, sure, that’s where Blue’s life was lacking. How to relax enough to take one finger? Just wrong. Consent issues were ok but weird because Levi was right to be concerned about power dynamics while Blue has made his own decisions for over a decade and thus is more than capable, but capable or not was reliant on Levi for housing. Wasn’t done badly and points for trying but still kind of missed the point. Narration: As an American listener, I thought the accents were fine & understandable. An above average job for this narrator. YMMV.
