About this book

Aster was dead, but he was not finished living. Offered a second chance at existence, he accepts a dangerous bargain: become a Soul Chaser. His new mission is to hunt down Horrors—malevolent spirits escaped from the depths—and drag them back to the afterlife. It is a high-stakes job for a rookie, especially when his first assignment brings him face-to-face with Hudson Davis, a man haunted by a literal ghost from his past.

Hudson is a traumatized writer living in fear, stalked by an undead ex who is determined to claim him for the grave. As Aster steps in to protect him, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. What starts as a supernatural protection detail quickly evolves into a profound, slow-burn connection between two men who have both known the sting of loss.

This gripping urban fantasy blends heart-pounding paranormal thrills with the emotional depth of a second-chance romance. With the perfect balance of dark, atmospheric stakes and sweet, steamy tension, Malice is a must-read for fans of queer paranormal romance. Will Aster manage to banish the darkness and secure his own future, or will the past claim them both for good?

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I'd like this book. Then I got completely sucked into the first chapter and was immediately hooked. The concept was different than what I've been reading, and the writing was exceptional! If you liked this book, you'd probably also love Amithia Raine. Or if you like AR, you'd love this. Very well-written book and a super fun read! ) 2 people found this helpful

Sweet love

With everything that Hudson goes through with his ex, I truly believe Aster was just what he needed. You know sometimes you just gotta get hit by a car and get taken below and be brought back as a soul chaser to find love. It’s just a simple things. The pacing was really good. The spice scenes, even though very cut and paste were nice to read. Decide characters were some of my favorite Hudson...

Eternal Love!

Aster and Hudson are fun and cute together. I think that their story grabs your attention from the beginning and doesn't let you go. Aster had a rough beginning, but his new start will save Hudson from the horrors of his past. Hudson thought he was finally free from his nightmare, but when things start happening again he has to rely on a stranger to save him. Aster and Hudson have a lot going on with them and a lot to overcome. These guys make new friends, learn new skills, and find new love. I...
