The book is well-written and the official reviewer recommends the book to fans of Stephen King and Jeffery Deaver but only gave the book a 3 out of 4-star rating.

"A Brush with Death" by Jody Summers is a novel that will give the reader goosebumps as Kira mixes paint with the ashes of the dead in order to paint their portraits. "Absently, she lifted her hand to catch the snowflakes and looked more closely to see the different shapes. Her eyes widened. They weren’t snowflakes. They were ashes!" A Must read. Congrats on BOTD!!

Your review excellently highlighted how the title is pertinent to the book's content. Both the title and cover are captivating. Despite a few punctuation mistakes, the book doesn't lose its merit as an enjoyable read.

[Jeff Kanda]

This feels like a scary book. I can't imagine the use of a person's ash to bring paintings to live. This won't be the book for me but thanks for the detailed review!

[Olivier Muhammad]

Kira's unique art form and her ability to connect with the dead created a sense of tension that built throughout the book. The writing style was descriptive and immersive, making it easy to visualize the scenes

[Loner Pen]

While I found the relationship between Kira and Sean to be a bit rushed, the mystery and suspense overshadowed this minor flaw. Overall, a gripping and chilling read that I highly recommend for fans of horror and mystery. Be prepared for a thrilling ride

[Elizabeth-Tush4Christ]

The concept of painting with the ashes of the dead to preserve their presence doesn't quite resonate with me. However, I'm sure art enthusiasts will find it fascinating. I appreciate the plot and how the main character manages to bring the lives of those he paints back to life, with their ashes creating a significant connection to the artwork. This story combines thriller, horror, and mystery into one piece. While I enjoy a good plot, I'm not sure I'll be picking up this book anytime soon. Nevertheless, I commend the author for crafting such a unique story. The thought process behind this book must be incredibly intriguing, as it deviates from the usual narrative. Thank you for the insightful review I find it helpful. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.
