📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Wade and Jason investigate three haunted locations with their friends in this paranormal romance.

This story shifts focus from Wade's initial fear to his current willingness to explore haunted sites alongside Jason. The dynamic changes significantly with the inclusion of Jimbo and Dean. Their differing attitudes toward the trip create interpersonal conflict that runs parallel to the ghost hunting activities. Jimbo’s non-supernatural surprises suggest that human drama is as central to the plot as the spectral encounters. The book examines how established relationships cope with new stressors and unexpected revelations from within the group rather than just external threats.

📝 Description: Ghost Handled

Bl Maxwell presents a gay paranormal romance thriller centered on Wade and his boyfriend Jason. Wade has grown more comfortable with his own abilities, which allows him to join Jason on another adventure without the previous fear he felt regarding Jason's obsession with spirits. The pair decide to investigate three haunted locations over three nights. This plan is entirely Wade's idea, though he admits that knowing little about these specific places causes him some worry. He relies on his trust in Jason to keep them safe during the expedition. The team expands as Jimbo and his boyfriend Dean join the journey. Jimbo participates with visible reluctance, while Dean embraces the experience with delight. The group travels together for this trifecta of haunted houses. Jimbo holds surprises that are unrelated to ghosts, adding a layer of personal tension to the supernatural events. The narrative focuses on whether the four friends can survive the three nights of ghost hunting. Maxwell writes within the horror and gothic fiction traditions, addressing themes of trust, romantic partnership, and the unknown dangers of paranormal investigation.
