Never Stop

De: Addie Renee

Narrado por: Leon Knightley, Lauren Beck

VIA: I always knew monsters were real—I lived with one, and he shared my last name. Liam made it his mission to ruin my life single-handedly. He did all he could to prove me wrong when I thought I was unbreakable. And he finally did.

Being forced to push Ander away was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. And the worst part? I couldn’t even tell Ander why I had to end it. But the monster that still haunts me left me with a crumbling life and no other choice.

It's been six years, and I'm well into my twenties now. I’ve changed so much since that dreadful night. I’ve accepted a long time ago that we can never be together, but my stubborn heart hasn't gotten the memo; it still longs for him and probably always will.

ANDER: I can't just give up, not again.

Not on her. Not on us. It was always supposed to be us. We both know it.

I'll be waiting once she’s ready because she’s it for me.

It's that simple.

5 PHENOMENAL STARS

I'm not kidding when I say this is now my gold standard for Romantic Suspense. Check the warnings.

In the "About the Author" section, it states that Addie's goal is to create stories and characters that readers can relate to. Mission accomplished, x1000. The writing and narration, bundled with my own past trauma, I feel like I absorbed every ounce of pain and emotion from both Via and Ander. So many of your words hit close to home. To say it was relatable would be an understatement. This is the first book in this genre to ever make me cry.

Via has experienced unimaginable trauma. Trying to escape the nightmare she is currently living, she pushes Ander away, because (in her words) "No one deserves to be burdened with the unhealed parts of me that even I wish I could escape." I like how this book followed Via through various stages of her life, allowing the reader to witness different stages of mental health struggles, guilt, grief, and healing. The friendships are top-notch, and I loved the pacing. Some parts were thrilling and kept me on my toes while other parts allowed me to breathe. The love story was incredible. Ander is an absolute saint.

Thank you, Addie, for providing me with the audiobook. I'm in awe that this is your debut novel. I highly recommend this book.

I saved 46 quotes from this book. FORTY-SIX. Here is one that truly resonated with me.

"All the walls I've built to protect myself have done the opposite; all I've actually done is cage myself into my own version of purgatory."

Amazing story

I loved the story and the narration of the two voices. They did a great job!

On the edge of my seat the whole time.

Worth every minute listening. My first Addie Renee book, and absolutely not my last. The story kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Beautiful.

Ander!!!!!

This audio book was so good. Team Ander all the way! Be ready for emotional trauma and whiplash. This book did not disappoint. I was hooked from start to finish! A must read/listen for sure!!!

True North

I’m utterly speechless with this book and audio. This story was heart wrenchingly beautiful and really puts one through a rollercoaster of emotions. The writing by this author is honest, raw, and authentic. This book shows no matter how hard a person tries to not see and ignore their North Star, it will remain waiting in the wings in plain sight. All it takes is one moment in time for stars to align and bring one’s truth north into sight. The love between these two characters never faded nor ended no matter the years apart because they were meant to return to their North Star which was each other like a moth to a flame. True love like this was always meant to shine. The narrators for this book were phenomenal and brought the raw emotion to life. There was such conviction when voicing this story it was palpable in the most stunning way. Highly recommend!!!

Tragic and yet so spicy!

This listen was great! The narrators did a wonderful job. I like the dual point of view. The male narrator really gave a lot of emotion. The book starts off tragic, lots going on, the middle does slow down a bit, then it picks up with spice and excitement. You follow the main female who deals with tragedy and haunting secrets, and the love of her life who never let's her go. It was interesting to watch someone deal with their trauma in their own way (while frustrating) but see them overcome.
The only things that bothered me was the amount of nicknames the main female had. During the audiobook It would get confusing when several people call her different names in one page. I would love to hear more about the villain, instead of him just being there, maybe why he's obsessed and deranged? overall Great listen!

WOW

I'm so here for this. I loved this book and the narration does it for me. the narrators worked well together and the voices worked perfectly for the characters.

Had me in a friggin chokehold

Let me start by saying that I don't normally listen to/read heavier-content books like this. BUT HOLY BALONEY this book had me in a chokehold from the first sentence. Addie's writing is beautiful, really honing in on the pure emotion of each and every character. The story left me with closure (thank you for that, Addie, seriously) for the MCs and wanting to know more about the side characters. The narrators truly did this book justice, imbuing the perfect amount of emotion into the story. Bravo. Well done. I can't wait for book 2.

🖤Amazing Debut🖤

~My Review 🎧~
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶

~Never Stop~The Never Series Book 1~Addie Renee~

~Dual Narration~Lauren Beck & Leon Knightley~This book was dual narrated by I feel like the narrators both did a great job voicing the opposite genders voice! I really felt the narrators were good fits for the characters as well!~

"Trauma is like a tidal wave that crashes in without regard for its surroundings, overspraying and soaking whatever is in its wake, uncaring if it's waterproof or not. Trauma tarnishes even the little things that once seemed minute. It can turn you into a version of yourself you sometimes don't even tend to recognize."

♡This was my first read by Addie Renee & I'm excited to continue the rest of this series! I didn't know this was a debut book for this author until after I listened to it, & that makes me even more impressed with this raw emotional story.

The first thing that stood out to me that I really enjoyed was that we were told the love story of Ander & Via from a dual pov perspective. We got to see where they started and where they ended from both sides, which made me connect with both of them on a deeper level.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster & shows just how much trauma can mold a person into someone they don't recognize. It takes true love to pull someone from the depths of their trauma, especially when their main reason for sinking so deep is to save the ones they love the most.

This book had me on the verge of tears multiple times and hit way closer to home than I anticipated. I loved the ending even though I was trying not to cry through it & the epilogue wrapped everything together perfectly. I'm excited to see where they rest of this series takes these characters.♡

~As Always Happy Reading~

Loved It!!!

Such a great second chance love story. Ander is definitely a keeper. These 2 were dealt a blow that caused them to separate for 6 years. Finding their way back to each other in an unexpected way and realizing their story was not over. I did an immersive read with this one and really enjoyed it. The narrators did a pretty good job. The male narrator would talk a little too fast at times but other than that I loved it.
