Distortion by Lucie Smoker-A Book Review.



So, this seems like an almost impossible story to mess up. It has a little bit of all my favorite things; murder, mystery, romance, rock and art. But that's about all I enjoyed in this story. 

What's the story about? It's about Adele Proust, an up and coming artist in Houston's Montrose District. She's got baggage, but strong and empowered by her talent and her friends, she's moving on through life. And she's doing great. In the beginning, she falls in with Greg Fowler-a super hot, womanizing lead singer for The Fury-Houston's hottest post punk band. On their first date(so to speak) a fire breaks out at the club and she stumbles on to a corpse and is able to remember that scene so well that after the place burns down, and the cops kick her out of the area, she is driven to go home and paint it while Mr. Fowler writes a song next to her. And then this story takes a dive. And it only gets worse as the story progresses.
