SERIES: Paranormal Days (Book 4)
AUTHOR: Megan Derr
PUBLISHER: Less Than Three Press
LENGTH: 55 pages
BLURB:
Astor is tired—tired of his family and the way they never listen to his advice, and tired of being in love with his agent, Tennyson, who after a one night stand made it clear he preferred to keep things professional. The only thing Astor’s not tired of is his job researching haunted inns and hotels to prove just how haunted they’re not.
His latest book is about a notorious inn in the middle of nowhere, and a haunting he suspects has more to do with real werewolves than fake ghosts. It will provide fodder for an excellent non-fiction book, the novel he’s secretly writing, and be so distracting he’ll finally be able to get over Tennyson.
Except when he arrives it’s to find that Tennyson is already there, with every intention of keeping Astor company through the holidays.
Note: This was originally published in the Bad Moon Rising anthology. It hasn’t changed significantly for the solo release.
REVIEW:
Astor is in love with his agent, which is a problem since the man wants to keep everything professional between them after an amazing one night stand. Desperate to give himself some space and time to get over his unwelcome feelings, Astor sets off to work on his next book at an inn up in the mountains. He doesn’t care that he’ll be there through Christmas, he just wants some time by himself. Pulling into the lot, all Astor can think about is getting his getting some work done while he gets himself together; finding out that Tennyson is already there waiting for him is an unwelcome surprise but that isn’t the only one his agent has in store.
Astor is a bitchy, grumpy mess and I loved him. He treats people exactly the way he feels they deserve to be treated and if that means yelling at them that they are stupid and wrong, he’ll do it without hesitation. I think that everyone wishes they could do that, at least some times, but Astor just goes ahead and lets it all out. Tennyson on the other hand is suave and spends a great deal of time smoothing over the ruffled feathers Astor leaves behind. He is also a sneaky, sneaky man but I enjoyed that about his character. The story was short but packed quite a bit into its pages; I enjoyed it from start to finish. I liked the paranormal aspects of it but wished I could’ve read more about it all. I also really would’ve liked an epilogue or something but that’s just me being greedy as the story ended in a good place. If you like your stories with a touch of paranormal or if you’ve enjoyed Ms. Derr’s works before, you’ll probably like this one, too.
