Synopsis

The summer is winding down in San Diego. Veronica is bored, caustically charismatic, and uninspired in her photography. Nico is insatiable, subversive, and obsessed with chaotic performance art. They’re artists first, best friends second. But that was before Mick. Delicate, lonely, magnetic Mick: the perfect subject, and Veronica’s dream girl. The days are long and hot—full of adventure—and soon they are falling in love. Falling so hard, they never imagine what comes next. One fire. Two murders. Three drowning bodies. One suspect...one stalker. This is a summer they won’t survive. Inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, this sexy psychological thriller explores the intersections of love, art, danger, and power.

Imagine this book being converted into a movie, with all those art installations and photography room sequences, ohhhhh (yup, that's how I feel). It's been a few days since I finished this book, and the fact that I can't stop thinking......more

Goodreads review by Nilufer

Wow! After reading the last third of the book by holding my e-reader with my shaky hands, puffing, sweating, jumping up and down from my seat, I feel like I ran a marathon! This is impressive dedication and realistic, present time reflection of Picture of Dorian Gray! It’s about the beauty, ecstatic......more

You had me at "Dorian Gray". Then you had me again at the words murder, and mystery. Unfortunately, that's exactly where you left me. First, let me say that this book was a rollercoaster and I am not quite sure how I feel about it. Second, let me tell you that aside from the use of art and the slight......more

Stupid decisions all over, of course. Annoying characters. Worst parents award winning characters. Silly plot. Unlikeable misrepresented main characters. But I still kept on reading because the writing is good and vivid. I hate Mick's mother. How could she just....? I hate Nico. One of the worst fictio......more
