The Sceptic

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 bestselling Black and Blue series.
