This is the first book I have read by John Inman, and I am so glad that I got the chance! He is a brilliant story teller, and the characters are so unique and believable that you feel like you know them!In this story, a guy named Jason, who makes his living designing video games from home, is tasked with watching his sister Sally's son for 4 weeks while she is on vacation. Timmy is a spitfire of a 4 year old (ok, what 4 year old isn't?). She is going away with her new boyfriend Jack. Jason hates Jack with a passion. It seems the feeling is mutual. Jason lives in his sisters old house which he bought from her after her 1st husband disappeared 3 years before.Jack is a happily single gay man who lives in San Diago with his 20 year old dog Thumper. He finds out quickly that he is not well suited to care for this adorable, wise beyond his years, little boy. Within the first days, Timmy has him wrapped around his fingers. Soon, a man appears and come to find out, it is Jason's brother-in-law's little brother Sam. Sam starts out telling him that Sally won't communicate with the family, and has completely cut them off.Weird things start happening around the house that cannot be explained. Ghost things start happening and it seems Timmy can talk to it. Slowly Jason and Sam start falling for each other, and Sam lets him know that he thinks something bad happened to his brother.Jason does not want to believe it at all, and together they try to get to the bottom of it once and for all.Can they solve the mystery? Or will it tear them apart? And how does Timmy fit into it all?You have to read this book! You will feel every emotion possible. I laughed, I cried, and everything in between. I cannot wait to read more from this author! He has an amazing talent that should not be missed. I did not put the book down once. This has moved to the top of my all time favorite book list!
