An Unexpected Tenant: Immortal Mysteries Book One by MJ James

Description

An Unexpected Tenant: Immortal Mysteries Book One by MJ James is a cozy queer paranormal mystery filled with ghosts, grief, reluctant romance, and wonderfully chaotic found-family energy.

Max Canes has spent most of his life trying to ignore the fact that he can see spirits. What once felt like a gift has become an exhausting burden, one he would rather shut out completely. Arriving in Immortal, Colorado after the death of his grandfather, Max hopes for one final conversation before saying goodbye.

Instead, he discovers his grandfather has already moved on.

Burned out, isolated, and uncertain what to do next, Max finds himself stranded in a strange mountain town with little direction and far too many ghosts. Then he meets Sam.

Sam is funny, energetic, artistically chaotic, and completely unaware that she’s dead.

The moment she remembers the truth, she immediately recruits, blackmails, and emotionally steamrolls Max into helping solve her murder. Not because she wants revenge or justice, but because she desperately wants her grieving husband Robbie to finally move forward with his life.

Unfortunately for Max, Robbie is kind, grieving, attractive, and increasingly difficult to avoid.

As Max and Sam investigate the mystery surrounding her death, Sam becomes convinced that Max and Robbie are perfect for one another. Max strongly disagrees. His inconvenient feelings, fluttering stomach, and emotional panic are clearly irrelevant and should absolutely not be examined further.

Blending paranormal mystery, emotional healing, queer romance, and neurodiverse representation with warmth and humor, An Unexpected Tenant explores grief, loneliness, identity, and the messy ways people help each other survive.

Featuring gay, bi, pan, autistic, and ADHD representation, this heartfelt first installment in the Immortal Mysteries series is perfect for readers who love cozy paranormal stories where ghosts meddle in people’s love lives almost as much as murder investigations.

A charming reminder that sometimes the dead are far less complicated than the living.
