Story
Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

Story
SSA Rain Christiansen used to be the agency's golden boy. It just takes one moment of weakness, one tiny paranormal sighting, and all of a sudden, he's the agency's embarrassment. His boss gives him one last chance to redeem himself - go down to Brickell Bay, play nice with the local police, and leave the ghost sightings behind. Rain is determined to do exactly that, even if it kills him. Cold-case Detective Daniel McKenna's latest investigation is going nowhere fast. Daniel is glad to finally have the FBI help his department requested, even if it does come in the form of his ex.

But staying sharp was the only way to stay safe in the cutthroat world of modeling, and it turns out, graduate school isn’t any gentler. Career first. Boys…later.

I’ve never been attracted to guys. I definitely would never be attracted to a privileged, cocky bastard like Brad Henning. Even though I’ve only been at St. Lawrence University for a few weeks, this prick and his friends are on a mission to mess with me—a scholarship kid who I guess they don’t think belongs at a prestigious school intended for the nation’s elite.

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

His new life in Chicago consists of performing autopsies and eating chips while watching old detective series. Until…He's suddenly standing in front of me. Leather jacket, washed-out jeans, jet black hair. His deep, green eyes are so intense on me I can barely breathe. It's in his crooked smile, bold flirting, and confident—borderline conceited—behavior that I get lost.

Playing a lead role in a book-to-movie adaptation with a wild fan base? Sign me up! The only downside is that I'm cast alongside Jacoby "Heartthrob" Hart—Hollywood's golden boy. If only they knew he was an uppity, pompous snob. We don't get along, and if you're reading the tabloids, you'd assume it was because I "stole" his girlfriend, but they have it all wrong. Jacoby and his cold shoulder started this, and now we're set to play lovers. The only thing I'd love to do is strangle him, but I'm a professional.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Remove the target from Vermont, get him to the safehouse, keep him there until his mafia uncle testifies, get back in my employer’s good graces. But it turns out things get complicated real fast when your target is an adorkable, accident-prone cutie with a shockingly low sense of self-preservation, zero clue that he’s related to the Fromadgio crime boss, and 100% too much inclination to chat happily with strangers.

Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

I Enjoyed It Very Much
I don't know what I enjoyed more the unfolding mystery or the sparkling dynamic and chemistry between Tallus and Diem. This story and the author's writing style captured my attention from the first chapters and I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Narrator did a great job, I am a huge fan of this author/narrator collaboration and in this book they impressed and inspired me again. I am very excited for this new series and can't wait for the next installment in Shadowy Solutions series. Overall this was a perfect listening experience.

LOVED IT!
Nick J. Russo does an amazing job of bringing this story to life.
There is nothing better than when the main characters grab you by the heart and don't let up! I devoured Skeletons in the Closet in one sitting and now I can't wait for more of Tallus and Diem.
These two strike sparks off each other just by being in the same room. The chemistry is off the charts but also each man is wary for different reasons.
The pain both of these men have endured in their lives affects how they view themselves. Past damage shows itself as they navigate the complicated landscape of their attraction. My heart hurts for Diem so much. He only sees himself as a monster but that is far from the truth. I love how even as frustrated as Tallus gets he still sees beneath the surface and knows the goodness that lies within Diem.
The mystery will have you turning page after page trying to figure out what is going on. I loved how it kept me guessing until the very end.
Getting a few drop ins from our favorite newly married couple, Valor and Doyle, is just icing on the cake.
I can't wait for more in the Shadowy Solutions series.

Engaging Mystery
I am so happy for this spin-off, with Tallus and Diem pairing up to solve a mystery that becomes more complex as it progresses. I found myself wanting to protect gruff and grumbly Diem from his own internal thoughts. I liked Tallus' snark and he's good for "Guns" as he calls Diem. I did take longer to warm up to Tallus but seeing him dive into helping Diem with the case with such enthusiasm had me rooting for him. I am glad we're getting more in this series so we can watch the characters grow and their relationship evolve. And along the way, we'll get engaging mysteries to puzzle over and watch unfold. As a bonus, we get glimpses of Valor & Doyle, one of my favorite couples. Nick J Russo does a great job narrating the story and I especially enjoy his voice for Diem. As always, Nicky and Nick make a great aothor/narrator team!

So good!
I’m a massive Nicky James fan. I know, I know, I keep saying that. But it bears repeating. I still want more Valor and Doyle – even after seven books. So when I heard she was doing a spin-off series with my favorite records clerk with the Toronto Police Department, I was in. I love that Nicky’s books are set in Canadian cities. I’m sort of from Toronto (okay, my parents were and I lived there for a bit). Toronto has always felt like home and her version is so true to form. I love Canadian stories because they celebrate my country. A country I’m proud of.
Okay, enough of that waxing poetical about all things True North.
Tallus and Diem.
Now, I love me some damaged characters. Tallus has disappointments and some pretty horrible, homophobic family members. That stuff sticks with a guy. Diem has real trauma as well. Abusive jerk father who I just wanted to take out behind the woodshed – and I’m not prone to violence. My stomach churned at what Diem has gone – and is still going – through. Okay, enough spoilers on that. This is a series, so I know there are more heartache moments to come.
Diem is a private investigator and I was pleased he has a real PI licence. Of course, breaking rules seems to come easy to him – especially when it comes to Tallus. They had a hot hookup for a nanosecond six months ago and it appears neither has forgotten the other. Although one is a touch more obsessed than the other. Again, I like realism. Toronto is a damn expensive city. Diem lives in his office. Tallus has a car and an apartment…and lives paycheque to paycheque (yes, Canadian spelling!).
Oh, and there’s a mystery simmering beneath all this angst that’s going on (will they or won’t they? How would that work? What about the physical damage?). The mystery had me guessing until the end – as would be expected from a Nicky James book in this vein. Anyway, I won’t give it all away. But, like I said, soooooooooooo good.
Finally, Nick J. Russo narrates all of Nicky’s books these days and he’s just fantastic. I’m loving his work and I can’t wait for more Tallus and Diem.

Diem and Tallus
𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇.
Deim and Tallus take us on their journey in Sᴋᴇʟᴇᴛᴏɴs ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ Cʟᴏsᴇᴛ by Nicky James, the first book in the Shadowy Secrets series.
Diem needs help with another case and the only person he can think to turn to is Tallus, the records clerk who turns his world upside down but after a bad night together Diem is reluctant to reach out.
Tallus has not seen Diem in months and when he storms his way back into his life and demands his help, Tallus is cautious but also sees it as a chance to maybe get Diem to see him.
Diem and Tallus are complete and total opposites but for some reason, they work together even if Diem is very reluctant to let Tallus into his world. Diem and Tallus' journey is more about the mystery and suspense than the romance and when there is romance it is very cold.
Nick J. Russo does a great job of bringing the characters and the world to life in a narration that feels like a duet even though he is the only one narrating.
If you enjoy...

The chemistry ❤️
Well, this was really good! Tallus and Diem are such an odd couple, yet they truly make sense. Diem has some serious demons in his closet, and my heart was deeply invested in his character, hoping he would be redeemed. Tallus is considerate and sweet, yet funny and snarky and he has a way of seeing beneath the surface of Diems demons.
Nick Russo is a truly legendary voice actor, giving the words of Nicky James all the credit and painting all the pictures in my brain whilst listening. Wauw!
To me the mystery was not that important, it is the chemistry between these to that makes this book a 5-star read.

GREAT MYSTERY & CHARACTER STUDY!
I've listened to many great gay mysteries but this is the best ever. The plot is exciting but what makes this such a winner is the character of Diem & Nick J. Russo's vocal rendition of this complex & compelling character.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5🎧
First, I LOVED the narration. As always, Nick J. Russo gives us all the emotion, angst, and broodingness. Is that a word? Well, it is now.
Tallus & Diem
Okay. The chemistry is smoken' I love that Tallus is exactly who Diem needs even if Diem can't see it just yet.
Diem needs to be protected at all costs. I just want to protect him and keep him safe from the world. He is big and strong-looking, but his heart is damaged and needs the care that Tallus can provide if he can just let him in. But it's not that easy, as we have seen. His backstory, I fear, is going to break me. We learn some of it but not all of it.
Tallus really wanted to be a detective, but no one told him you couldn't be a detective if you were colour-blind. So he still works in the field but just as a records clerk for the Toronto Police Department. So when Diem, a PI, comes into the office for help looking dirt on a case he is looking into, Tallus takes it upon himself to appoint himself Diem's partner.
I loved it. I loved how they worked together. I loved how Tallus gives Diem space when he needed it. I loved that Diem sought out Tallus even if he wouldn't admit how much Tallus was coming to mean to him.
I am eagerly awaiting the second book.
