Publisher Description
She knew something incredible waited in the shadows of the abandoned mental institution, but she never imagined it would lead to love.
Jamie Dixon and her fellow video game developers set out to document the layout of the famed Harrington Institute for the Mentally Ill. Then an accident leaves her to explore the decaying buildings with only Ian, the one guy she's crushed on since high school. Too bad he never seemed to notice she was a nerd of the girly variety.
But Ian Jameson has a secret agenda for coming to Harrington. As they uncover the ramblings of an abusive doctor, evidence of a secret prisoner and an obsession over an ancestral line, Jamie and Ian discover a passion that transcends their former workplace camaraderie.
Are ghosts leading them to the truth of Harrington's haunted history…or to the promise of a future beyond friendship?

All the creepy atmosphere of the best gothic novels
This book has all the creepy atmosphere of the best gothic novels. I’m not sure I can exactly describe how the author accomplished it, but there are moments in this story that I actually felt like I might have been playing through the video game they’re developing. Part Blackstone Chronicles, part Shivers, and all creepy fun. (And yes, I realize just how badly I’ve dated myself with that pair of mid-late 90’s references.) To be honest, I was so caught up in the mystery Jamie and Ian were chasing down, that I almost overlooked the way they realized their feelings for one another while doing so. But that ending, was just so perfectly silly. It was the exact right way to lighten the mood after everything they discovered.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
