Stars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover

4.5

 

4.5 stars 

Stars Like Gasoline is my first introduction to Jessika and her unique way of telling a story. I have never read anything by this author before and I was delightfully surprised. She has cleverly orchestrated a cast of well-developed characters in a tale that will have you checking dark corners as the chills as thrills intensify your senses. 

What makes Stars Like Gasoline so encompassing is that it has multi-faceted complex plots and storylines. They are carefully woven together to give us the right amount of mystery, intrigue, suspense and some paranormal elements. The characters are just as equally complex and fully realised and delightful.  

Ghostly encounters, missing artists, an international art scandal, romance, and a stalker and so much more 

Celia loves her job is an art curator for a museum where she suddenly finds herself thrust into the underbelly of fine art and the art world. It is interesting to read about each painting and piece of sculpture as Jessika’s passion and vivid descriptions brings them to life and makes it hard to believe they aren’t real. 

I love to watch the British TV show Fake Or Fortune where owners find out if the piece of art they have procured is a real piece by the artist or a fake. It made this story much more relatable and real.  

The story is beautifully written despite the spine-tingling ghostly encounters that haunt Celia. 

leaves us feeling as if the characters will invite us into their home for fine wine, good conversation and a few extra secrets after turning the last page. 

If you love a good mystery, ghosts, with a sweet romantic tale then you will love Stars Like Gasoline.
