**AUDIO REVIEW**

After his Uncle Morty died, Tristan is left Hoxne Grange. His other uncle, or rather his auntie, wants The Grange, so tries to prove Tristan is insane. For Tristan can see ghosts, talks to them, indeed, they check into The Grange for 3 days. Wolf KIncaid is sent to disprove what Tristan says. But immediately he feels the Grange is different. And when his team inadvertantly releases a deadly ghost, Wolf has to set aside his beliefs, and help Tristan.

This was brilliant! I Loved it. The ghosts, the drama, the love that springs from all that! I got a few twists very early, one that isnt revealed til the epilogue, I got that! I did! I'm rather pleased I did, can you tell??

Anyway, a fabulous story, with spooks and sceptres, cooks and hosuekeepers, wolfhounds and jack russels, this story will grab you, and not let you go. The relationship between Trs and Wolf is hot off the charts, but it builds, quickly, but its not an intsalove thing. It grows as the troubles at the Grnage grow, adding to the tension in the book.

Tristan James narrates, and he does an awesome job. I love his work, and he is fast becoming an auto buy if I find him as narrator. His ability to tell a tale, add all the "pictures"(for want of a better word) that you make yourself while READING is astounding. His voice is low and deep, and crystal clear. His voices of the characters is clear and definative, so there is no mistaking who is talking. The way he tells of Winifred and her coming and going is brilliant!

I should like to go back and READ this one at some point. I'm trying not to read and listen but this one warants it. I want to see if the same pictures pop in my head as I read, as they did while listening.

5 stars for the book, and 5 for the narration.

Very enjoyable

loved the story once I got used to the narrators odd tendency to suffix all pluralised words with apostrophes with -es, which detracted from the otherwise great performance.

Very little plot

It's okay, but not much happens. And the main plot point of his family wanting to get the Grange isn't answered at all. The characters are not really all that likable. Wolf is just unalterabley smarmy. Tristan is a bit better, more sympathetic, but still a bit one dimensional.

Good paranormal M/M.

I enjoy Rhys Ford's work, and note that the publisher has matched her up with Tristan James yet again. I enjoy his narration-to a point, but what I don't enjoy are his pronounciation errors. He has made errors in EVERY SINGLE audiobook I have heard narrated for Rhys Ford. In this book he's added 'esses' where they should not be- 'Servants quarters' became "Servantses", he did the same with so many other words it actually pulled me out of the story, which is really unfortunate. What I find worse than narrator errors is the fact they are never picked up by whoever proof listens for the publisher. After all the hard work the author and narrator have put into the product, its damn lazy to diminish a product at the last hurdle.

Suffice to say. This was great fun, M/M paranormal. The premise was quite Scooby-Doo. A haunted Grange, a team of paranormal investigators, and a dastardly ghost. The Grange's owner just happened to be hot, single and perfect for Wolf Kinkade, who headed the team of investigators. What followed was a bit spooky, hot and sweet. A good listen, but I would rather have fewer narrator errors.

Really, really good.

If you could sum up Fish and Ghosts in three words, what would they be?

Fun, exciting, romantic

What other book might you compare Fish and Ghosts to, and why?

I really can't, that's why I enjoyed it so much. The author has a really unique idea here and I absolutely loved it. It's of just as high quality as her other books but, as much as I loved the Sinners Gin saga, this seemed so much more believable to me (I know, ludicrous given the premise) and I loved it from the first word. Rhys Ford is definitely becoming my favourite (if not already is) m/m author.

What does Tristan James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I honestly couldn't say as I haven't read the book. I know that I love his pacing, delivery and he really does keep me hooked on the story and makes it so easy to follow. My house seems very odd when I'm not hearing his voice at the moment as I've listened to him pretty much non-stop for the past month reading various Rhys Ford stories so for me the pairing of this performer and author is cemented in my head as the norm and I'm not sure I could listen to a Rhys Ford book without hearing his voice anyway.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Any conversation between Tristan and his housekeeper. I much prefer her to the female matriach in Sinners Gin as she seems much more rounded and three dimensional. She's really well written and helps brings real depth to the story.

Any additional comments?

I loved all the Sinners Gin books, I really did, but this book is brilliant and I can't wait to get the next one. The reading of it is sublime and it just feels like the author has really progressed and their talent just shines through in this. I can honestly say that you'll find something to enjoy in any of Ford's stories and James' performance of it, but of you're a first time to either of them then this is the book to start off with. Excellent leads, strong supporting characters, a really intriguing premise and a FLAWLESS performance from James - you can't go wrong!

Promising start to a new series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like Rhys Ford's books, you will not be disappointed with book 1 in her new series.

What did you like best about this story?

The two main characters and the way their story developed.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I can't pinpoint one particular scene as the whole story is so well rounded.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were so many, so it's hard to pick just one!

Any additional comments?

Yet again, Rhys has delivered another top notch story and I am eagerly anticipating book 2.

Dreadful

It started off as a reasonable sounding ghost paranormal story, but quickly turned in never ending sex, with a tiny bit of story thrown in every so often. Also the way the guys fall in love within a day or less and plan their entire life together is nauseating.
