The Boy with the Painful Tattoo<\/a><\/em> (2014\/2018) Josh Lanyon<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Christopher and J.X. are moving in together. Christopher has shipped everything he owns and driven up the coast to where JX picked out a house for the two of them.<\/p>\n

Between the two of us there was a hell of a lot of junk here. And somehow when viewed inside a cardboard box, all my worldly possessions did look like junk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, they’re going to have to learn to deal with each others quirks–the same as every other couple making such a move.<\/p>\n

I dumped silverware in drawers, placed glasses on shelves, located J.X.\u2019 s toaster, and opened a box of little jars of spices I had never heard of. What was Tajin? What was Egyptian dukkah? Did we even eat the same food?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But to complicate things, J.X. has to immediately head off to a conference, leaving Christopher along to have second thoughts–and find a body.<\/p>\n

I skimmed a great deal of this story, because although the murder was interesting, the second part of the story arc–Christopher’s stalker–is rather distressing to read. I just kept wanting to yell, “WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? DON’T DO THAT?!”<\/p>\n

Yet, he did it anyway.<\/p>\n

That didn’t make this a bad story, and the murder mystery portion was good (even if Christopher is an idiot at times) but I really dislike reading about the stalker.<\/p>\n
