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 read Hawke and needed to read Kid after.
What an absolute read! There’s so much detail and understanding to the story of this.
This was 100/10.
Incredible

What a book!

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 .....

I highly recommend Hawke and Kid 💯 if Jescie Hall writes it I’m going to read it 🖤

Loved it 🥰

Wow, where do I start?! #Kid by #JescieHall is a standalone follow up to #Hawke and should have been called Raw because that's what it felt like to read this book.

It is dark and depressing, but if you enjoy reading about shattered characters mending their broken pieces together, then this is for you, but ... be ⚠️ this is nothing like Hawke, with lots of triggers so, if you have any, I wouldn't try it.

It was very incisive and beautifully written, giving you an understanding of what drug addicts go through mentally, whether recreationally or to numb trauma, and also its effect on those around them.

Kid is a drug dealer and obsessive by nature. He is sailing through life being the centre of attention with his ease and sense of humour, which #JoeArden brings to life when he's tripping on LSD and having a discussion with Norbert, a stuffed duck!

Then Kid meets the broken, closed and enigmatic Han, who is Cole's elder sister (from Hawke), who is good at disappearing when life gets too much. Kid becomes totally fixated and is determined to find out all her secrets.

The relationship between Kid and Han was incredible, in the way their brokenness brought them together, were able to see into each other's souls and ultimately able to fix each other through their mutual love and understanding.
Personally I would have liked to have seen more of Kid's and Han's background story as well as more information about the drug ring, which I felt tied up too easily.

The #duetnarration by #JoeArden and #CJ Bloom was exceptional with Joe capturing Kid in his manic and funny phases; and Carly Bloom excelling in getting under Han's skin and tortured soul.

Although I received a copy of this ALC from #bluenoseaudio, all opinions are my own.
