Sometimes the most frightening of thoughts can be found hiding among the shadows of our own minds.

Reading Dracul has made me remember how cool and chilling vampires can actually be when we go back to what they originally were, and that’s all I have to say.

REVIEW
The Finer Things by J.D. Barker, Kyle Dunn
I read the beginning of this book and was horrified by the act one child perpetrated on another in St. Mary’s home for orphans. Why would an adult admit in writing what was done to another and have it given to the person harmed? After reading the beginning, I read the end and found that it was as horrific as the beginning. My next action was to skim a bit in the middle and found out what happened to the two children in St. Mary’s during their time apart and then when they met up again later in life. I found out that there was blood, murder, obsession, art, sculpting, and crazy happenings with police looking for a murderer, too. At that point, I gave up. I had not read this author before and have a feeling I will not read his work in the future. I am sure others will enjoy this story, but it did not work for me.
Thank you to NetGallely and Hampton Creek-Simon & Schuster for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB
His art will take your breath away. In the shadows of 1950s New York, a brilliant mind teeters on the edge of madness. Edgar Maguire's sculptures are taking the art world by storm, but behind each masterpiece lies a horrifying secret. When Fiona, the object of Edgar's lifelong obsession, reenters his life, it ignites a passion that blurs the lines between creation and destruction. As his art evolves into something terrifyingly beautiful, a trail of bodies begins to surface across the city. Detective George Snyder is closing in, but can he unravel the connection between the murders and Edgar's rising star before it's too late?
