If you have a chance, listen to this audiobook. Oh my god, it is amazing. The narrators are perfect and you can feel their emotions. It gives the same feeling as listening to a Graphic Audio book.Now onto what I thought of the book itself: This was amazing. I loved it so much. Kane and Rue are so funny together. And who would have thought a character called "Big D" would be one of my favorites. He is far from one-note and I want more of his story. I want more of him and Mercy and their complicated entanglement.Time and Fate are right bitches and I would have been so happy if they had actually died. Too bad they are immortal beings that cannot actually die. Groan. But I love Mercy. The short time given to her just makes me ache to know more about her and her story. I hope we one day get a book for dear Darrell and Mercy.As expected, I nearly cried in many parts of this book. Seek's story really did it for me. I was struggling not to start bawling while at work. It was not easy so be warned about that and good luck.For now, I am so excited to get to Asher's book when it finally comes. I want to know more about him too and I cannot wait to see him crumble just as Kane has. I wonder if it will be easier or harder. Also, what is up with the book Rue had that he recognized? How is that connected? Did she buy it somewhere or was it passed down?

Do not read this, LISTEN TO IT! The audiobook was absolute perfection! The banter, the romance, the spice and the story were all so incredible… this will definitely be one of those comfort listens for me!

Emotional, funny, surprisingly spicy, and deeply reflective. While the story itself landed around 3 stars for me, the immersive audiobook was absolutely phenomenal. Rue’s journey, Kane’s yearning, and the themes of grief and purpose stayed with me long after I finished. Full review below.

This was one of those books where the experience mattered just as much as the story itself.

Rue was my favorite character. Watching her wrestle with mortality, purpose, and what kind of legacy she would leave behind gave the story its emotional core. The romance was sweet, but what really surprised me was how much the grief themes made me stop and think.

The yearning between Kane and Rue was honestly my favorite part of the romance. The anticipation and emotional tension worked even better for me than the spice scenes.

And then there’s Big D. Every book needs a chaotic scene-stealer, and he delivered every single time he appeared.

The audiobook deserves special recognition. Joe Arden, Andi Eloise, Maxine Mitchell, June DeBorahae, Sean Masters, and James Cassidy brought this story to life through an immersive full-cast performance that felt more like listening to a movie than a traditional audiobook. It’s easily the part of this experience I’ll remember most.

Utterly loved this book. The concept was unique. It was funny in all the right places. Vivid imagery. Felt like I could relate to the characters and it made me view the world differently after reading it. Couldn't put it down.

This is an amazing book and an extraordinary audiobook! I lost count of how many times I cried and laughed. Listening to this book felt like a complete experience, akin to sitting in a theater and watching a play unfold before my eyes. Thank you for this incredible six-star adventure!
