About this listen

As the best friend of a psychic, Will Buchanan can’t help but believe in the dead. It’s the living that he finds to be problematic. However, after a spate of betrayals, he finally has the chance of a new life within his grasp, and he’s not going to risk it for anyone or anything. Staying safe is the name of Will’s game.

Jem Dawson defines the word temporary. A talented cameraman, he’s here today and will undoubtedly be gone tomorrow chasing adventure and danger. But, while he’s in York, he’s made it clear he wants Will, and Will can’t help liking the charming daredevil.

This inconvenient attraction results in Will accompanying Jem to the site of a notorious poltergeist outbreak. A malevolent spirit has targeted a family, and now the ghost hunting team for whom Jem does camerawork are going to be locked down in the house for three days.

The house is strange and filled with sinister and violent undercurrents. One by one, the group experiences threatening incidents, and as events escalate, Will has to ask himself if he's risking not just his heart but also his life with this impulsive gesture.

This is the first book in the Arcana Books series featuring characters from the best-selling Black and Blue series.

Lily's writing was fantastic as always. There was a great balance between old and new characters, while also being an independent story and excellent introduction to a new series. Accompanied by the spectacular narration Joel Leslie always provides, I found this totally gripping and could barely put it down!

Another fantastic story by Lily Morton. So happy Will gets his own story and visit some of the characters that played in Black and Blue series. A great listening experience thanks to brilliant written and a super star narrator.

Wow, where do I start? 2nd instalment into Blue Billings, and I loved every creepy word that Lily wrote.

Will and Jim are great characters who end up sleeping in a house inhabited by an angry ghost, or is it?

The characters have depth, and so does the story, which is all helped along by an outstanding narration by Joel Leslie, but I did speed up the narration to 1.25 on audible. Well worth a listen. I would highly recommend it.

The Sceptic is the first book in a new series by Lily Morton. The Arcana Books series is a spin-off of her Black and Blue series. That is a great series but you can read The Sceptic without reading the Black and Blue books first.

I listened to both books in the Black and Blue series and loved them so I was excited when I got the opportunity to listen to and review The Sceptic. The story has all of the great humor, wit and snark that I expect from Lily Morton. Joel Leslie’s performance kept my headphones glued to my ears from the time I started listening until I finished.

I can’t do a better job of describing the book than the excellent blurb does. Be prepared for scary, creepy encounters and hot and sweet romance for Will and Jem. The epilogue is generously long and I loved finding out how Will and Jem are doing one year later.

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request and my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author or narrator.
