The Comfort of Distance

Holy sugar, Ryburn Dobbs kicks it out of the park with their first novel The Comfort of Distance. The cover and title is slightly deceiving because it looks all calm and peaceful. Then you read the first paragraph and you're sucked in and can't get out (laugh). You don't want to get out either because you are afraid you might miss something if you don't keep reading.

I adore Sebastien Grey. This is probably because we are very similar in that we both suffer from social anxiety. I relate to this character and feel for how he observes the world around him. Now on the other hand, I have a dislike for his brother Hank for basically just being an ignorant asshole. The family dynamic reminds me of how some of my family has treated me and it just makes me want to hug Sebastien.

This imbalance between Sebastien's personal life and his professional one drives The Comfort of Distance. Grey is phenomenal in his work and I am just as amazed as LeGris' colleagues. The multiple mysteries are intriguing and rock solid.

Thank goodness that Dobbs says that this is the first book in the “Sebastian Grey” series, because I cannot wait for another round.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
