From author Jescie Hall comes this heart-wrenching tale of addiction and a transcendent love that fights despite adversity in this spin-off instant attraction romance.

Addiction is my weakness.

A cruel temptress that follows me wherever I go.

Slowly dragging me down until I drown.

Until she shows up.

Johanna.

My life preserver in this ocean of drugs and madness.

She's a total enigma, as chaotic as they come. A vixen who lives her life without limits.

But her demons are greater than mine, and they threaten to drown her right alongside me.

I need her as much as she needs me.

We can either hang on and save each other, or we can both sink into oblivion, letting our pasts, our memories, our addictions be the anchor that weighs us down.

Contains mature content, including heavy drug use, self-inflicted pain, trauma, and graphic sexual content.

Honest review incoming, I cracked straight on with this after loving Hawke by Jescie Hall and didn't immediately feel drawn in like I did with that book and I also wasn't feeling the main characters straight away (although I loved Kid in Hawke) as I'm not a DNF kinda girl I carried on and I'm so glad I did - this book broke me, there we parts of this book that were so hard to listen to because they were raw and delivered in such an emotional way both with how the story is written and with the narration, I know there were many topics in this book that hit me hard personally that reduced me to tears, and not in a "I should have checked the TW and considered not listening" way but because they were so close to home and sometimes we need to feel like we haven't experienced things alone and we all know a good book can make us feel, it was painful, raw, funny, bizarre, obsessive, toxic and beautiful. I usually finish a book take a moment and look forward to the starting the next immediately but right now I left wondering now what ....

Now what .....

Audiobook review: Narrated by Joe Arden and CJ Bloom

This story, first and foremost, is so emotional it left me with a true ache in my heart. The book is written in first person but from Kai/Kid's POV which is a refreshing way to experience a romance that I really enjoyed. Kid's vulnerability had me crying for him so many times. Then we have Han...this girl is amazing on so many levels, but the struggle she experiences through the majority of this book is heartbreaking. The way Kid loves her with such intensity was epic. The depth these two characters have leaves so many levels we get to see uncovered and keeps a healthy interest in their growth throughout the story. I love the journey of their relationship, from the very first meeting through the epilogue. Not only is this an important love story, but I love the mental health and addiction representation and the way it's portrayed so realistically. There is a heavy list of content warnings that should be heeded, even if that is not something you typically worry about. The subject matter is represented in depth so it's best to be prepared.

This audiobook had me speechless for a long time. I literally had to sit and recover from the experience that was Joe Arden and CJ Bloom bringing Kid and Han to life. Not only was this one of the most beautifully written stories, the performance was so exciting and entertaining. If ever a performer was born for role, it is Joe Arden as Kid. I lost myself listening to him fully embody this character. Chapter 6 alone should earn him all the awards in the world. CJ Bloom as Han was perfection. She captured every emotion so well, and there were a lot of them. She has so much personality that really shone through in her performance.

I highly recommend everyone listen to this on audio, whether you've read the book already or not. It truly is an epic experience and has cemented both the author and the narrators as some of the best in the business.

Epic audio!!!

This was my first experience with this story in particular, it is no secret that I am obsessed with Jescie and I was so excited to read this with this being the only book I had not consumed yet.

The perfect opportunity came with the audiobook and I was obsessed. Joe’s performance as Kid is absolutely phenomenal. I lived for it. This is an emotional book that touches on a lot of sensitive subjects, it is a beautiful book that will stay with me forever.

The writing, the performances, the nuances in this book, everything was perfection and it finished far too soon for my liking. I cannot rave about this book enough.

An emotional and heartwarming ride

i really enjoyed that this story was told from the male main characters point of view. I think Joe Arden gave a phenomenal performance, i feel he captured how the author wanted Kids character to come across when he was high and his brain was running a mile a minute to the lows he felt and the intense emotions he felt for Han. I did have to adjust the speed in some parts of the story but that's just my personal preference. while CJ Bloom had fewer lines they were no less impactful, she gave a fantastic performance which thoroughly encapsulated Han, both narrator's complimented each other perfectly.
KID has a much darker personality than HAWK, the book covers some elements of liking pain with your pleasure, blood play, drug use, addiction, overdose, self harm & suicide among others so check your TW. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others who find this genre of book appealing.

this book is metagalactic, duet narration..chef's kiss!
