katikatCarey Gardner receives an enormous box of chocolates from a secret admirer for Valentine’s Day. Being a pretty straightforward kind of guy, Carey’s not really comfortable with expensive presents from persons unknown, and he’s less comfortable when his friends Ben and Heath tell him the story about a serial killer who once stalked the Hartsburg College campus.
Not that Carey really believes his secret admirer is up to anything very sinister—besides, he’s already got enough problems falling for Walter Sterne, a brilliant but socially awkward grad student. Carey’s friends are warning him against Walter, and even Walter isn’t very encouraging.
Sometimes life really is like a box of chocolates.
Review: 2nd in the "Petit Morts" series of standalone stories and Josh Lanyon's first work about students! It was a really cute story and I liked both Carey and Walter, what a lovely couple! Though I did feel sorry for Ben, he needed some loving too. I would also like to see Chance from Sweets for the Sweet again, maybe in some other story - he was a very interesting character.
