Jescie Hall
About this listen
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.

"I'm the wall collecting the graffiti of her past"
I adored this book. I listened to it in one sitting ,I went through so many different emotions while listening to it. The book does get very heavy at certain points so please do look at the trigger warnings before you listen.
Jescie Hall is becoming one of my favourite authors and I think this might be my favourite book from her so far. The narrators are insanely talented. Joe and CJs emotions throughout the book floored me. They were the perfect picks for Kid and Johanna.

Emotional & Intense! Amazing Story & Narration🎧
Jescie Hall is the queen of dark and twisted, she masters it like no other by putting her own unique spin on it and brings you along for the ride, a dark and twisted, emotional rollercoaster ride. The uniqueness is not just bringing you into a dark and twisted world, but into the mind of her characters and wow the minds they have and what goes thru them. Hold on tight because it is a wild ride, one that will not only wow you but will blow you away too. Kid and Johanna’s story is an angsty one, two broken souls whose pieces fit together flawlessly, if they let them. Kai Immanuel Decker, aka Kid, intrigued me in Hawke’s book, always looking out for Cole and was good for a laugh, though you could tell there was more to him that met the eye. His issues run deep, so does his dedication to his friend Hawke, and he goes with him to help with his new beach house and business. Kid is into drugs, not only doing them but selling them, which creates more problems for him, some unexpectedly. When he meets Cole’s older sister Johanna “Han” he fell heads over heals for her. With his addictive traits and tendencies, she becomes his new addiction and obsession, his need for Han, all of her. Han is quirky and marches to the beat of her own drum, she dabbles in drugs and has is only one of her bad habits, her others include destructive ones and a tendency to run when feelings are involved. The complexity and depth of these characters is phenomenal, peeling back layers and getting a look inside their minds is amazing and so is finding out why they are the way they are, especially with what is going on with Han. Ms. Hall takes these characters on a journey and puts them wringer making them work to find their happiness. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. There are some heart pounding moments in this book, the drama is non-stop, and it is high in angst, emotions, steam and a whirlwind romance. Jescie Hall, thank you for another exceptional and moving story, one that will stay with me for a very long time.
🎧📚🎧And for wonderful narration, Joe Arden and CJ Bloom worked their magic and did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Their portrayal of the characters was perfection, Arden as Kid wowed me completely, grasping the rawness of his emotions, like no other, his intensity, his wit, and yes, it was his performance that had my heart pounding. Bloom was just as amazing in her role as Johanna, grasping every aspect of her personality, her quirkiness, brokenness and torment, as well as her wit. Both were equally amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. These two made a great team, their voices complemented each other and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Totally awesome
You will need a box of tissues and time to cry whilst listening to this book. Once again Joe Arden knocks it outta the park with the narration, the emotion he puts in is just… wow!! C. J. Bloom is the perfect complement with her narrative too. But they couldn’t have smash my heart to tiny pieces if it wasn’t for Jecsie’s writing, l don’t know how she does it. No one knows how to evoke every emotion throughout a story like she does.

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

Joe MF Arden you amaze me!
This is a raw & heartbreaking story dealing with heavy drug use, addiction & trauma and what those things do to a person & those surrounding them. So check content and TWs if necessary.
This is connected to the author's other book Hawke and although it can be read as a standalone I advise reading Hawke first as that is where we are first introduced to our main male character Kai aka KID. The story is told from his POV, he is spending the summer with Hawke trying to figure out his life when he meets Coles (fmc from Hawke) older sister Johanna aka Han and is instantly drawn to her as he sees another scarred soul just trying to survive like he is. These two are both so broken in different ways and initially are toxic together and encourage each others spiralling behaviours, but over the course of the book we see KIDs inner monologue and perspective slowly change and all he wants is to understand, be with and love Han in her darkness and beyond. Because the story is told in only his POV I struggled to understand why he fell for her so hard and so fast as although we see Han through his eyes, we don't get her POV so her personality and who she is was lost at the beginning so his instant obsession with her made little sense to me, as other than being attracted to her looks I had no reason for him to be so enamoured with her. This book does not glamourize drug use, it depicts the harsh and dangerous reality of it and what can drive a person to numb the pain of their reality.
CJ Bloom & Joe Arden were incredible. As the story is mainly told from KIDs pov you obviously get more of Joe's performance and what a performance it was, the way this man emotes and makes you feel every gut wrenching moment with voice alone is beyond talent.
There are some scenes in this book that involve OW in a sexual way so be aware of that going in, although it isn't cheating as the MCs are not together when these moments take place. The spice between the MCs is good & frequent once it gets going. 🌶🌶🌶
