Grim

De: Joe Arden, D J Krimmer

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, Andi Eloise, June DeBorahae, Joe Arden, Sean Masters, James Cassidy

We thought death was the end, turns out it’s just the prologue.

RUE

I died, briefly. Then I came back. Now I’m determined to make the most of every minute I have left.

Only problem is I’ve been saddled with supervision. Kane Deveraux is handsome, smug, and cold as a tombstone. So why does he make me feel something more powerful than death?

KANE

As a reaper, I have helped crossover thousands of souls. And not one of them have touched mine…until Rue Chamberlain. She’s stubborn, reckless, and maddeningly radiant.

And for this centuries-old spirit, she’s a living woman that is absolutely off-limits. If I follow the rules, I will lose her. If I break them, I might lose everything.

Grim is a darkly romantic, wickedly funny tale of life, death, and a love that refuses to rest in peace.

5 stars

Grim was one of my most anticipated books of the year and it didn't disappoint at all. DJ Krimmer and Joe Arden have written a masterpiece together. The writing flowed. The world was shown with so much detail. It was very easy to visualize everything. The characters were interesting. I loved how this was both a plot and character driven story. I also loved the balance between the emotional scenes vs the funny, lighthearted moments.

The audiobook was such an amazing listening experience. It was literally a movie in my ears with the sound effects and added music. This story must be experienced through your ears. With a full cast in duet comprised of Andi Eloise, Joe Arden, James Cassidy, June Deborahae, Maxine Mitchell and Sean Masters. They were phenomenal! Andi exuded how Rue was soft hearted and kind. Joe had an amazing French accent. He exuded Kane's overprotectiveness. James was the comedic relief. He brought so much charisma, energy and enthusiasm to Big D. I laughed so much with the dialogue he delivered. June and Maxine brought out the Sisters ruthlessness. Sean brought out Asher's charm and empathy. Together they brought this story and characters to life. Highly recommend!!

Even in death, love is everything.

This amazing story took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. It made me think and reflect on just how precious every moment is in my life, and just how short life really is. The narrators and the sound team made it feel like you were really there walking the streets with Rue and Kane, and experiencing everything with them. I loved every aspect of this audiobook and don't think I will ever forget it.

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

“We all go in the end, and the closing curtain drops when your story is told for the last time. So, live a life worth talking about. That’s all you can do.”
How does one even begin to write a review for what is quite literally the most powerful book they’ve ever experienced?
The one that made you think and feel in ways you've never thought or felt before.
The one that, as simply words on a page, left a lasting impact.
Now add in a full cast of voices actors recorded live in-studio, graphic audio elements, and a haunting score and and you have a TRUE masterpiece.

In Grim, authors DJ Krimmer and Joe Arden take the often-dreaded topic of death and dying and transform it into a breathtaking and thought-provoking story on life, love, and legacy.

Rue Chamberlain is a young woman with an artistic soul, whose failing heart is running out of time. Kane Deveraux is the centuries-old reaper assigned to collect her soul. But instead of following his orders, he saves her. By resuscitating Rue, Kane bends Time and Fate, granting her nine more days to live. She knew all along that her life would be short, but Kane's stamping of an expiration date on her life inspires her want to experience the most from what is left of her life. Unbeknownst to Rue, she ends up having an impact on those around her in ways she never imagined.

Grim is one of the most beautifully and poetically written books I’ve ever read. There are parts the read more like a song than simply a book. The rhythm of the words, the emotion in every line, matched with sound effects and haunting score make Grim so much more than just a story. It’s a written masterpiece full of emotion and depth. It’s not simply a story about death; it's a love letter to life.
