The Quiet House

Black and Blue Series, Book 2

By: Lily Morton

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Levi Black has mostly recovered from the events of a year ago. The only lingering effects are that he’s much more well-known in York than he’d like to be, and he’s a lot more cautious about walking around his house naked.

However, those events brought him the capricious and fascinating Blue, so he’s not complaining. On the contrary, he’s happy, in love, and looking forward to Blue finally moving in with him. And if sometimes he wonders what Blue sees in a boring cartoonist, he keeps that to himself.

Blue Billings is finally ready to throw off the memories of his past and move in with the person who means the most in the world to him. His psychic abilities have grown in the last year to his mentor Tom's consternation, but Blue is determined to look on the bright side. He’s also focused on ignoring all the warning signs that he’s received lately.

However, even deeply buried secrets have a way of rising to the surface. And when a surprise from Blue’s past turns up and draws them away to a lonely house on the Yorkshire moors, Levi and Blue must fight for their survival once again.

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes the second book in the Black & Blue series. The books are intended to be listened to in order.

Oh my heart...

I have to say that this was a much better book than the first one. It was emotional, exciting, and sucked me in immediately.

Slight spoilers

In here we again have Blue whose life has been unbelievably hard and is a psychic and Levi, the goodest man who has ever been good when one day Blue's father, whom he has never met, shows up with an offer of a lot of money for spending a weekend in a haunted manor.

It might have been longer but it's hard to do a search on an audiobook to confirm.

Anyways, like always there were bad ghosts and good ghosts and even charlatans that also were invited to stay. Things of course get ugly but it all works out in the end

During the course of all this you can now see that Blue has accepted being in love with Levi and it was great.

My only knock on this was Joel's narration. By now if you have read my reviews, you know that Joel is one of my favorite narrators so this may be a a shock but the way that Blue and Levi were narrated made it hard to tell who was who. I could not tell the difference. The other characters were done well so I was surprised to have this happen.

Fantastic!!

I absolutely loved the first story, but this one seriously tops that one!! Levi and Blue are back!! But then so is Blue’s father! I loved the humor and snark that was perfectly woven in throughout all the ghost and drama! This was seriously creepy, I LOVED it!! I got enthralled into the story. I loved the family unit that Levi, Blue, Tom and Will are creating. Joel Leslie did such a fantastic job with all the voices!! Sooo Freakin fantastic!

BRILLIANT! A thrilling read!

Oh Em Gosh, you guys! I heard a few mixed reviews on this sequel to the Mysterious Blue Billings, but I have got to say that this was utterly brilliant! I loved every second of it. The characters are true to themselves and I love how they take everything in stride together. Levi and Blue are so wonderful and I adore their relationship. The insecurities and courage to communicate is such a relatable aspect to their relationship. Thank you Lily Morton for this master piece. What a fun, spooky ride! 👻 As always, bravo to Joel Leslie for the wonderful, animated narration 👏👏👏 I highly recommend this book, as well as the first one. Hands down, five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing book

I love Blue and Levi! This book was every bit as good as the first one, if not better. I love these characters and Joel just adds so much depth to the story with his characterizations. Blue and Levi travel to the countryside for a visit to a haunted house and definitely find more than they bargained for.

Levi and Blue Get Closer

I give The story 5 stars because I simply like Levi and Blue. It is rare these days to find characters that the reader can actually care about. They are also individuals I'd love to have as friends. The plot is fun, the dialogue is believable, and the supporting characters are quirky enough to be entertaining. The story picks up a year after Levi and Blue met. Levi and Blue become even more inseparable. Infatuation turns into true love as they accept an invitation from Blue's new-found father to visit a centuries-old estate to unknowingly help the owner conjur up some family spirits. Tom accompanies them and it isn't long before the haunted adventure begins.
