He Looks So Fine: Part One

Be not inhospitable to – handsome – demons, lest they be angels in disguise.

Two things are well-known about Alberto.

One: he’s gorgeous. Like it or not, like him or not, there’s no debating that.

Two: Alberto feels nothing and everyone constantly jokes about it. There isn’t much else to say about him.

Floating about like a drifting cloud, Alberto likes minding his own business, but out of nowhere, an angry guy named Mathias charges into his life, demanding answers. Deep down, he knows Mathias isn’t the solution to his problems, but it doesn’t matter, as long as he feels something.

But here’s the annoying thing with feelings: they can sneak up on you at the least opportune time…

Mathias is new in town and enrolled at Colette International due to unfortunate circumstances. His devotion to his family places him face to face with a puzzling equation, one he never thought he’d have to solve before.

Now he’s forced into the path of a schoolmate he particularly dislikes, and not without reasons. The only problem is, he can’t seem to take his eyes, nor his hands, off him.

He was promised a peaceful senior year after everything he went through. But Mathias already knows life is never that easy.

And now he’s in the thralls of an unfeeling demon.

He Looks So Fine is a seven-part story about two young men’s rediscovery of empowerment, communication and trust, about the lasting damages of trauma and the healing virtues of friendship. Part One is 360 pages long and contains arcs 1 to 3 pertaining to Alberto and Mathias’s journey. The upcoming Part Two contains arcs 4 to 7 and concludes their story.

As it features several characters from the previous books, it’s usually recommended to read the series from the start. But since the tone of this story is darker, more mature and differs from the rest of the series, this book can safely be enjoyed as a standalone.
