“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found.” JB Priestly.
When it snows, you have two choices shovel or make snow angels. Theophile/Theo is an ice sculpture. Theo has liked Dylan for years, keeping tabs on him anonymously. They went to school together at one point in life. Theo and Dylan run into each other at a club however, when Dave the guy Dylan was with was rude Theo takes that as an opportunity to leave. Dylan follows and has to run to catch up and offers to take Theo out. Theo has been anonymously following (stalking) Dylan for about 17yrs on social media.
This book has a different spin on what we would normally see as stalking and obsession as well as the expected outcome of such actions. I found this to be a interesting and crazy read. I loved it as it’s different from the norm and quite entertaining.

This story is an interesting mix of horror, weirdness, psychopaths, murders, romance, a bit of twisted humor, and a talking…cat. I wasn’t sure how Dylan would take Theo’s gift when he finally found out, and his reaction was a bit of a twist. The theme was a little darker than my usual tastes, but the story was well-written and I think true horror fans will enjoy it. I think romance fans will, too. Theo’s love, concern, and protectiveness for Dylan, and the lengths he went to to showcase it, reflect true devotion, however darkly expressed.

I have a real hard time rating this story. I couldn’t put it down I laughed, cried and was horrified by events that take place.
Theo has been in love with Dylan since high school. He just dreams and fantasizes about him while he carves his ice sculptures.
Dylan runs into him in a bar and they go for ice cream and plan to see each other again.
This story has romance, dysfunction (Stephan King type of crazy murder art) humor, hope.
I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN, or decide if I wanted to read it but I read it in an hour and a half without stopping.

This is an entertaining story with strong descriptive characters in Theo and Dylan. It’s not the story I expected it to be. It’s not a cute romance , however it is an interesting story with surprises and twists and I enjoyed reading it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I was totally captivated from the very first page with the well written storyline and interesting characters! This was the first book that I have read from this author and it definitely will not be the last!
** spoiler alert ** *Spoiler*
A fun read and really great if you’re looking for a scary story to read in October. Although it wasn’t as spine chilling as some of the authors other horror romance stories this one was really good.
The story is told from Theophile Lekas POV. He is a ice sculpture artist and he has been in love with Dylan Mincer for the last seventeen years but Dylan doesn’t even know Theo exist until they have an encounter in a club. Theo is sure Dylan will become his soon and so pursues Dylan. Dylan has been hurt (several ways) before so he wants to move cautiously with the budding relationship he has with Theo. Theo in his own way to convey to Dylan the depth of his love decides to take matters into his own hands and make a special sculpture just for Dylan. Things may just get a bit bloody but it sure comes from Theo’s heart and he’ll hope Dylan will see this too.
I liked it, the idea may not be original but the story was entertaining and I liked seeing the inside of Theo’s head, his thought process and obsession for Dylan and wanting to make things better for him. Theo’s relationship with his cat was cute and a tad bit bonkers but fun. Although I was a just a tad bit creep out about how far Theo was willing to go I did admire his determination and love for Dylan. The ending was pretty satisfying and readers get a little insight into of Dylan and his regard for Theo. I hope there is a continuation for this story coming in the future because I really want to know how Dylan plans to reciprocate his love and what extent if anything he is willing to go. It would be just lovely if readers got to read from his POV.
An ARC was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
This was such an entertaining read. It was a perfect fit to its creepy cover (that I also love) without being too scary that I coudn’t read it, because I’m not exactly brave when it comes to horror. It was rather funny, in a dark and creepy kind of way, which is something I really enjoy from the author.
The story had some interesting characters. I struggle a little with Dylan because of his low self steem tha sometimes became frustrating, but I did get where it came from. He was really sweet most of the times, but so oblivious that sometimes I feel like screaming at him. Theo was wonderful. I loved his inner dialogue and how much of it he let the other know, with them thinking he was joking. I also loved the way he see Dylan and how much he was willing to sacrifice to show his love to him. Even though I liked both main characters. the one that got me smiling most of the time was Cat, I loved him so much, he was really fun and every scene he was on was captivating.
I liked the plot. It keep my attention the whole time and kept me worried every time I tought things wouldn’t work. I had some nice surprises and I felt really interested on seeing how the piece of art was going to be put on scene. I loved the twist the book had. It was a great experience. I had a fantastic time reading it
Calm, controlled, pure horror…
Eccentric ice sculpture artist Theophile has a muse… Dylan… for as long as he can remember.
He wants to sweep Dylan of his feet by creating to most powerful ice sculpture everrr.
A sculpture drenched in love for Dylan.
Dylan never felt so loved before as by Theo… and Theo is one protective badass.
Some special equipment and freezing cold is what he needs to destroy and create.
An exceptional, thrilling and dubious story that will melt the heart uhhh the ice, I mean the ice.
Love, compassion, deadly thoughts… it’s there.. all there… an ice cold package wrapped in a nice warm red ribbon.
I loved this read.. ghaawd did I loved this read <3 !!
On paper, Theophile Lekas is my dream man.
√ Artist
√ Loyal
√ Bearded
√ GENIUS!
In reality, he might be even better! *swoon*
But Theo only has eyes for one man. Dylan Mincer.
And, of course, love will find a way.
A chilling tale of the lengths some will go for love.
Freaking awesome!
