Synopsis:
With all the vampire, werewolf and faerie books out there, it's easy to become numb to all things supernatural. The antidote? Darkhouse introduces two real and unforgettable characters, Perry Palomino & Dex Foray, amateur ghost hunters who are "attractive, relatable and oddly heroic," "flawed but loveable," "slightly crazy" and just the most endearing pair to ever tackle the paranormal...just don't call them normal. Darkhouse is a thrilling and sexy new take on concepts like Supernatural and The X-Files, bringing a breath of fresh air to a genre that has been inundated with the dead.
***Darkhouse and the Experiment in Terror series is a horror/romance for mature audiences only. Readers who are easily offended by harsh language should think twice about reading it.***


My Opinion: Great!
I tried this book after seeing its rating on Goodreads and wasn't disappointed.

It took me some time to really get into it but I ended up enjoying it a lot.
The characters are original, complex and rather likeable. I'll definitely read the following novels just to know what's going to happen to them.

The synopsis mentions Supernatural and X-Files and frankly, I got that Supernatural vibe during the whole read, as a fan of the TV show I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, it isn't exactly like the show but I think people who enjoys it may really like this novel and so I recommend it to them.
As for the X-Files reference, I can see it in the fact that both characters don't really want to believe in ghosts and that it's a man and a woman but that's all.... at least in this first installment.

As for the plot, I thought it was quite interesting and even a bit frightening.

To summarize : I recommend it to everyone who likes horror/paranormal stories and are tired of the latest trend in fantasy (no sparkling vampire here :p)
