Welcome to Ghost Hunter 101. Really,there’s enough technical information in this book that you can start your own hauntings investigations enterprise.
Well,I won’t become a ghost hunter, but Alex Silver definitely kept me captivated with all the behind the scenes facts. Besides that,the author was amazing at alternating tech info with funny or sweet moments, not to mention the thrilling or down right scary ones.
I also appreciated the attention to detail in the story line. It might of turned it a bit longish but it guarantees well rounded characters, sensibility to touchy subjects, a clear imagine of settings and historical facts.
If you’re looking for a book with an exciting, ghostly mystery and a sweet romance, pick up this one. You won’t regret it.
What a complete mind-blower! This book is an absolute delight! There is nothing better than passion and enthusiasm. Dan possesses both concerning his work investigating haunted places. The writer pairs him with a trans guy (Chad) who is just as enthusiastic but a lot more skeptical of the paranormal and the two are totally adorable. Alex Silver does a beautiful job getting us to fall in love with his characters and get all caught up with their admiration for each other. Then WHAM!!! Out of what seems to be left field, the haunt starts haunting! I love that the writer gives readers a glimpse of the life of a trans guy with chest surgery, testosterone shots, genital dysmorphia all wrapped in a story that’s exciting, invigorating, and just plain wonderful! I fell in love with this writer’s other work but with this series, the writer has earned my undying respect. I appreciate that this book is available in audio format through authors-direct.com and the narrator, Jack Ravenscroft, is simply perfect for the story!
Absolutely loved it! It was such a fun ride from start to finish.
Going in, I have to admit I am not a big fan of the horror/paranormal genre ( when the other kids binged on ‘Goosebumps’, I preferred sticking to my classics), but the intriguing blurb sold the story to me and I am so happy I took the chance since I had a hauntastically good time.
The story centers around Dan- a clumsy, free spirited(*LOL*) adventurous personality, the star of the ‘Hauntastic Haunts’ vlog and his New PA- Chad, who’s his complete opposite in all aspects- organized, methodical and also a bit of a skeptic when it comes to believing in ghosts ( right there with you on that one Chad).Chad been secretly admiring and harboring a huge celebrity crush on Dan, but doesn’t let it show.
I loved the scenes wherein they got to know each other, formed a great team as they proceeded to uncover the mystery behind the history of the Goodman Dairy and the angry ghost ( who’s also a mean cockblocker) that inhabits the dilapidated barn.
The writing complemented the fast paced plot and it was a treat to read the tender romance that the two shared. The author manages to create a suspenseful mood with a good dash of eerie-ness with his descriptions that keep us hooked on till the very end.
When I discovered this series I was already a huge fan of Alex Silver so it was a must read for me. The story is pretty interesting with a complex plot, a really well managed mystery that led to some highly enjoyable scary scenes. Dan and Chad are a cute couple and it is really entertaining to witness the start of their relationship, the funny and sweet banter between them and how close they got in their ghostly adventures. I can’t wait to read more about them. Wonderful reading!!
Dan is an investigator of hauntings. Chad is a trans man who has just lost his job and he’s a fan of Daniels vlog. Dan offers him a job. Chad gives everything up to follow Dan and work with him. This was a good story, was not sure of what I was going to be reading, but I really liked it and can’t wait to read more. Alex Silver is a new to me author and did a great job of keeping me interested in the story line. Definitely recommend it!!
I am voluntarily leaving a review form an ARC that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

As their feelings for each other grow and the haunting starts to happen, both are left wondering what happened in the past on the Goodman Dairy. There are bumps and twists in their relationship that you will want to shake each of them to talk to each other.

MMy Thoughts Confessions and Review:
This story blew me out of the water! I cannot believe that more people haven’t jumped on the ALEX SILVER Train of Paranormal Fun. You guys have got to pick this book up and give it a read. Why? Well, for starters it is a very well written ghost story. Silver delivers in the scary department, and the ghost in this story is one angry malevolent spirit out for his pound of flesh…literally.
Another reason to love this book: the MCs are fully actualized characters and a couple of guys you could see yourself subscribing to and following on their YT vlog.
Dan is the vlogger and ghost hunter and travels around in his van, “Vanessa,” following leads on hauntings. He is tricked out with all kinds of tech and specialized scientific gear to help him find any unexplained phenomenon and IF it is paranormal see if he can help in any way. As with anyone who puts themselves out for public view, Dan has critics, as well as fans and loyal followers.
RedHerring99 is one of Dan’s loyal crew and Dan loves being able to interact with him. Red also happens to be Dan’s insurance agent and works very hard to keep Dan from losing his insurance. Daniel knows Red IRL as Chad and has his number on speed dial since he is constantly getting into scrapes and considers himself a klutz when dealing with the supernatural. Dan has no idea Insurance-Guy Chad and RedHerring99 are the same person.
After bending one rule too many, Chad loses his job and on a whim takes on the PA position that’s open, working for Dan.
The two get along like a house on fire and have more chemistry together than a lab at the CDC. The friendship that forms is instant, and from there a slow progression to something else begins to take shape.
I loved how Silver was able to introduce Chad’s character as trans. Chad’s character explained things about himself in such a way that if someone were reading the book and had questions about themselves or someone they knew, they might have a little more understanding after getting to know Chad. I absolutely loved that. It endeared both the character and the author to me more.
This dynamic ghost-busting duo is coming back for more, as there is a second book due out soon. YAY! So, if you are looking for an escape, a great ghost story, an LGBT+ Romance, or just want to support an #ownvoices indie author, look no furthur…this book will NOT disappoint!
