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.

Wow this was an emotional trip but I loved every second of it!

Kid.
I seriously did not think this book could live up to my opinion of Hawke but seriously Jescie Hall knows how to deliver a heartbreakingly beautiful broken man. In Hawke, Kid was portrayed as this easy going, fun, guy who does not take anything too seriously. This book really shows the true complexities of Kid. How he feels and feels so deeply.
Kid was an emotion trip even more so because I was listening to the audiobook. Joe Arden did an incredible job of bringing Kid’s character to life. The way he so easily went from calm and cool to anxious and spiraling, to enthusiastic and overwhelming, to flying high and to being broken hearted and raw. He delivered such a powerful performance. Seriously, if you are considering reading this book the audio is phenomenal. CJ Bloom voicing Han was perfection. Both portrayed so much emotion in their performances that you felt everything the characters were feeling. The relationship between Kid and Han was so beautiful and heartbreakingly raw. They were such a complicated and raw couple. Both had so many demons they were running from and using drugs to mask the pain of.
This book is dark and heavy. It focuses a lot on drug use, addiction, trauma, suicide, and dealing with grief. It is very character driven with less plot but honestly a great read about addictions, grief, and impacts of trauma.
Jescie Hall has blown me away once again.

Wow, this book was everything I wasn't expecting.

This book was soooo good. I devoured it in one day, I found I HAD to finish. Author Jescie Hall wrote an amazing book with so much intensity, depth, and feeling. I did not expect to feel so much while listening to this book.
It definitely covers some intense subject matter, so checking out the tw's is needed.
The narrators did such an amazing job. Joe Arden was already a favorite of mine, but his performance in this book was nothing short of award worthy.

So real and raw story

5⭐️
4 🌶
After finishing Hawke I downloaded Kid right away and had to listen to Kid's story. The amount of emotion that Joe Arden and Cj Bloom put into this book is amazing seriously they made me feel so much more for this book because I could feel all of Joe's emotions he put into this voice acting. This book is one of my first dark romance and I felt that this book felt so real and raw. The way this book brings awareness to drug abuse is eye opening. Please read the trigger and content warnings before reading/listening to this book as it may not be for you.

This is a spinoff from Hawke and could be considered a stand alone book but to better understand Hawke and Cole and Kid's relationship you would appreciate the story more. I loved Kid's nonfilter mouth as he says whatever is on his mind and I love the way Johanna is a badass character and doesn't give a fuck (or tries to act that way)

This is an instalove and because his addictive personality he becomes obsessed with her and trying to get her to see it. 3/4 left of the book I was defiantly at the edge of my seat and I was also crying especially when you hear it in Joe's voice.

Favorite Quote:
My lips were on it first
It's okay if you fail, own that you made the decision to try even if it wasn't planned

Beautifully written!

Check the trigger warnings before reading or listening to this book.
Kid by Jescie Hall is a raw, roller-coaster of emotions that bring up feelings of not being able to love because you have demons that tell you that you're not worthy of happiness, but the truth is everyone has what it takes to break free and embark on the journey of healing. Joe Arden and CJ Bloom bring a new depth to the story. Do you yourself a favor and experience this beautiful story. You will not regret it!
