The Lost Boys by hwimsey *
Author's description: Three young woman, three young men, a potentially haunted Victorian that's falling apart around their ears, unrequited love, and an up and coming band. Take all that, shake it up, and set it in romantic San Francisco. All human, usual pairings.

Guess what Ghosts and Gools - It's almost Halloween and it's time for a Ghost story...oooooooohhhhhhhhh!

This is one of the best stories I have ever read. And you are lucky, because it is almost over so you will be reading a complete fic by the time you get to the end. Those of you who like to wait for updates will be a little disappointed, but DO NOT let that stop you from reading the fic - because you will be sorry if you do.

MAN - how to I review this without telling you the whole story? In this story Bella is a little stalkery and Edward is a little pitiful. Edward, Jasper and Emmett are "The Lost Boys" they are a band. And Edward (of course) is the most talented person on the face of the planet. But he's had some problems and he has searched his whole life for his muse - Guess who that Muse is! I'm Not tellin'! Anyho, The Lost Boys end up renting a place in San Francisco for a little down time. The house has basically 2 apartments (3 bed rooms each). And who do you think move upstairs from the relaxing musicians? Bella, Rosalie and Alice of course. Well, this situation alone would make this story worth reading. But wait there is more!!! In this house there are a couple of ghosts. The female ghost can only communicate with Bella and (you guessed it) the male ghost can only communicate with Edward and the ghosts have a story to tell.

You follow these eventual couples as they try to solve the mystery of Nick and Nora and why they are not resting in peace. This is more than a ghost/love story. You will find yourself thinking of this story during your quiet times. It is so compelling, you can't help yourself but to love it. And I didn't even mention the band of hippie/psychics that help these two talk to their companions from another world - OR the fact that Bella is being stalked by a psychotic madman. With all that in this story I know it makes you WANT to read it. Hwimsey is extremely talented and in The Lost Boys she weaves a sophisticated web of intrigue and passion. I highly recommend you read this one and enjoy your All Hallow's Eve.

hwimsey is one of the few authors I don't follow on Twitter. I looked and she wasn't there. I'm sure she spends her time writing important things instead of tweeting! Enjoy this story and Thanks for Reading my Blog! Leave me a Comment, let me know you were here and what you are reading!

I actually am dying to get into this fic. I hope to get to it soon. I didn't know about the ghosts communicating to E & B though. That is intriguing to me. I think I will move it up the list.
As always, kick ass review!
What a wonderful review for hwimsey and The Lost Boys! YES- it is an amazing story! But then again, I'm a bit biased....(laughs) Hope your readers connect with the story- it's just as good as you make it sound!
This story is amazing. It leaves you breathless & the characters are endering & there are some seriously funny happenings. The end of alot of the chapters leave you hanging & just when you think the suspense can't get any higher hwimsey proves you wrong. This is a story you really don't want to miss out on!!!
ohh.. it's on my reading list.. but I haven't read it yet..
better move it up lol!!
thanks! XD
Wow, love this one two. I particularly like the whole Edward Carlisle dynamic. I'm patiently waiting for him to claim him. I thought he might do it during the interview, so I was a little disappointed. Anyway, the story is very complex which is great. Lately I've been reading simplistic stories. Like there is only one plot line that seems to always be how edward met bella. Thats fine, in fact that at the heart of almost all the fanfiction stories in the fandom, but there needs to be something else going on there, or I just stop reading.
Lost Boys is one of my favorite stories ever...the Bella/Edward love story is the most intense one i have seen written. I loved it, and am sad it's almost over :(
You are totally right, this is an excellent story. I will admit I was a little nervous when it became a little more supernatural, but she still managed to hold my interest. Great Review bb!
crinxie has been pushing this fic on me for a month now...and now that I have had the pleasure of 'meeting' natty dread and YOU have rec'd it too, I have NO other choice than to read!
