Summary
They were young.
In the prime of life and recently married.
And then, the diagnosis came.
Cancer.
George and Jason make arrangements to travel back to George’s home state of Vermont so he may pass away in the town where he grew up, but a terrible storm diverts the couple into the gates of an out-of-the-way hotel called Borderland.
Sure, the employees are well-dressed and polite. Sure, the food and entertainment are old-time fare. But it’s all a schtick, right?
Or is there something far more sinister at work here?
Welcome to the Borderland Hotel, where you may check in, but you’ll never, ever leave.

Enjoyable
I don’t usually have anything to do with supernatural or anything like that in stories. But there was something that just drew me to this one. There is so much sadness for most of the book yet the love between these two characters almost breaks my heart. When I realized the ghost parts I was already so deep in the story it was impossible to stop. As the twists and turns really turn up the intensity of the story I couldn’t wait to see where it was going. I also felt the narration by Gary Taylor added a reality to the story. I really enjoyed this story and will be checking out more by these authors.

A great horror, romantic, paranormal story.
This book... is SO, SO great.
It completely scared and freaked me out with its paranormal aspect, but at the same time it's pure romance with George and Jason living their love and their lives to the fullest knowing that George's days are numbered.
I was so completely absorbed in the story I found I couldn't do anything else while listening (whereas I usually listen to audiobooks while working or driving). I just had to sit there and listen and soak into the wonder that is this story, this freaky Edwardian hotel where very strange things happen and the people seem to be stuck in time...
Gary Taylor was a perfect narrator for this book: his gravelly voice perfectly suited the eerie tone of the story and the different voices for the various characters were just as perfect!

Interesting Story
Bittersweet story that is well written with likeable characters. Narration is good though not to my taste.

Wonderfully told ghost story!
Dying of cancer, George begs his husband, Jason, to take him to Vermont to farewell his estranged family. Trouble causes them to spend the night at the Borderland Hotel, and trouble seems to be preventing them from ever leaving. I absolutely loved this. I was a little apprehensive that it would be a frightening horror story, but it was a gentile ghost story with the perfect amount of mystery and creepiness. Jason and George were decent people and I loved that, despite his cancer, George was the hero of the story. The ghostly world building was logical and compelling, the villain was a great surprise, and the ending was satisfying and moving. Perfect all round! 🎧 While he narrates extremely well, I was a little thrown by Gary Taylor’s narration at the start, because he clearly doesn’t have a young voice that matches Jason or George’s age. But, in fact, it was the perfect voice for a ghost story about ancient inhabitants lost in the mists of time. Gary pitched the emotion perfectly and paced the story well, I grew to love every word he spoke!

The authors generously gave me a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review and I’m extremely grateful - it’s going to be a firm favourite!
