I&#8217;m a huge fan of Stephen King and he&#8217;s usually the only horror author that I read. Or have read anyway. But I&#8217;m taking 2019 to read all new to me authors. Or try to at least.<\/p>\n<p>So I didn&#8217;t read the blurb to this book but fell in love with the cover when Yolanda shared it forever ago. I&#8217;ve also had this book on my kindle for awhile now and finally got a chance to pick it up. And I&#8217;m glad I did!<\/p>\n<p>So we meet Gray. Gray is an artist of sorts and he has a secret. His best friend, Aiden, knows about this secret and supports him fully. She even helps him with his final art pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Gray has had a crush on Penn for awhile. Aiden finally helps him in that department and both Gray and Penn end up together. Woot!<\/p>\n<p>All through the book, Gray is working on his latest art project. He ends up showing Penn this piece as well and he&#8217;s also super supportive of Gray&#8217;s work. He even wants to help him.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to ruin it but the ending has an epic twist. Not what I was predicting exactly but definitely what I was expecting. I think if you&#8217;re a fan of horror movies, you would definitely like this book.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B07G4CZ9T5&amp;asins=B07G4CZ9T5&amp;linkId=f2a94c4b05ef8a6747d38516cca21848&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I deal in beautiful things.
