Animals Eat Each Other

A Novel

By: Elle Nash

Narrated by: Kasi Hollowell

"Nash writes with psychological precision, capturing Lilith’s volatile shifts between directionless frustration, self-destructiveness, ambivalence, and vulnerable need. A complex, impressive exploration of obsession and desire." (Publishers Weekly)

In this stunning and powerful debut, a girl with no name embarks on a fraught three-way relationship with Matt, a Satanist and a tattoo artist, and his girlfriend Frances, a new mom. The liaison is caged by strict rules and rigid emotional distance. Nonetheless, it’s all too easy to surrender to an attraction so powerful she finds herself erased, abandoning even her own name in favor of a new one: Lilith.

As Lilith grows closer to Matt, she begins to recognize the dark undertow of obsession and jealousy that her presence has created between Matt and Frances, and finds herself balancing on a knife’s edge between pain and pleasure, the promise of the future and the crushing isolation of the present. With stripped-down prose and unflinching clarity, Nash examines madness in the wreckage of love, and the loss of self that accompanies it.

Absolutely loved it!

Wonderful work from Nash! Sexy and captivating. Can't wait to check out more of her work

Nice and bleak...

This book is nice and bleak, and it reminded me of the Mars Room (which I loved). It comes across as fairly realistic and is a real headlong dive into the psyche of a complicated girl who seems to make one bad decision after another. Well written with a nice flow... this is a good read as long as you're not the type of person who requires a happy ending. The narrator was excellent and perfect for this story. She had this very subtle way of taking a deep inhale during particularly painful descriptions within the story that made it seem as if the story was 100% true and the listener was hearing it told straight from the horse's mouth. I would certainly read more of Elle Nash and Kasi Hollowell's work, based on this experience. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So Good!

Such a beautiful, fucked up, erotic, crazy book. Get this if you want your socks to be blown off. Elle Nash and Kasi Hollowell rock.

A hell of a book!

This one really got to me. Very intense, gripping, and twisted in the best possible way. The narrator was amazing! *****

Holy Hell! Amazing!

Elle Nash is a force to be reckoned with. So dark. So twisted. So beautiful. Incredible reading.
