Levi Black is at a crossroads. After suffering a loss and breaking up a long-term relationship, he’s looking for a change. When he receives the news he’s inherited a house in York, he seizes the opportunity to begin a new chapter in his life.

However, when he gets there, he finds a house that has never kept its occupants for very long. Either through death or disinclination, no one stays there, and after a few days of living in the place, Levi can understand why. Strange noises can be heard at all hours of the day and night, and disturbing and scary things begin to happen to him. He never believed in ghosts before, but when events take a sinister turn, he knows he must look for help. He finds it in the unlikely form of the blue-haired leader of a ghost tour.

Blue Billings is edgy, beautiful, and lost. Utterly lost. He conceals so many secrets that some days it’s a miracle he remembers his own name. He knows that he should ignore Levi because he threatens the tenuous grip Blue has on survival. But there’s something about the kind-eyed man that draws Blue to him. Something that demands he stay and fight for him when he would normally run in the opposite direction.

As the two men investigate the shocking truth behind Levi’s house, they also discover a deep connection that defies the short length of time they’ve known each other. But when events escalate and his life is on the line, Levi has to wonder if it was wise to trust the Mysterious and Amazing Blue Billings.

Grata surpresa

Encontrei esse livro por acaso no acervo do kindle unlimited. A capa e o nome me chamaram muito a atenção, mas eu não conhecia a autora e nunca tinha lido nada desse estilo paranormal (exceção de S.King, mas aí é outro nível de paranormal, mais dark e assustador). "Blue Billings" é um livro com um mix de suspense e comédia, com o romance acompanhando a história sem ser o foco principal.
Eu adorei essa fórmula! Pra mim super funcionou porque o livro não ficou pesado e nem romântico. Foi uma leitura que me surpreendeu muito.
Os protagonistas são bem bacanas, Blue é uma graça, cheio de senso de humor apesar da vida sofrida. E Levi é muito sensível e amável, enfrentou problemas ms no geral teve uma vida boa e é bem equilibrado. E assim eles se completam e enfrentam juntos o problema da casa mal assombrada em que Levi está morando.
Não espere a complexidade de Stephen King ou a sensibilidade de Isabel Allende, o estilo aqui é NA - leitura rápida e descontraída, algumas breves cenas de sexo (nada muito quente) e trama que se desenrola sem muito drama.
