By: Taryn Elliott, Cari Quinn

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins

Publisher's summary

Is it better to burn out or fade away?

Oblivion lead singer Simon Kagan is used to being in the spotlight for his model good looks and his voice, not because of the epic ending to Oblivion's last show on their home turf in California. That unforgettable night rocked Oblivion in more ways than one, and now the journey back seems almost impossible.

The only bright spot is Margo. Margo, the one woman he'd been sure would never be more than a hot ride in the dark. Margo, who would never be his.

Except she is, for now. But taking one dream and trading it for another isn't supposed to hurt this much.

As long as Margo never realizes the man she fell for no longer exists, maybe he won't lose everything that matters due to just one all-consuming night.

Fantastic Listen🎧 More Simon💘Margo Awesomeness!

I am loving this series and can not praise it enough. Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn continue to deliver interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. This book picks up right where “Destroyed” leaves off, Simon is rushed into surgery and everyone is worried and waiting to find out how he is. I loved how Margo took charge, set up R & R for him while he recouped. Also loved the one on one he had with Nick, it was great to see their special bond. It was great to see Margo and Simon grow closer and fall in love, it was also great to see Simon get his music groove back after seeing her audition for the Philharmonic. This book is well written and well plotted, there is a natural and beautiful flow to the story with many heartfelt moments, drama, a bit of angst and some hot romance. Thank you Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn for another awesome story, I am looking forward to what comes next for Simon and Margo and the rest of the Oblivion gang.

I listened to the Audible edition, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are fantastic narrators and voice artists. Their duet performance is amazing, it enhances the story to another level of greatness. They continue to bring these characters to life, give them their voice and personality and a whole lot of heart. Kai’s portrayal of Margo is spot on, as is Wen’s Simon, they really do them justice. It is always a pleasure to listen this dynamic duo!! Thank you for another great and entertaining listen🎧

cliffhanger going forward

Very satisfying part 2 of Simon & Margo’s story.
Kennicott & Ross do a decent job of narration but I could wish for less mispronunciations.

I want to be Consumed in Oblivion

Any additional comments?

Consumed picks up where Destroyed left off. I really don't want to give too much away because it'll spoil Destroyed if I talk about this one.

So, things you need to know:

Simon is in love with Margot. Which we knew in the beginning, but it takes him a long time to figure it out.
Margot is in love with Simon. Obvs. He brings out a side of her she didn't know existed.
Simon and Margot have some seriously hot as Hades sex. Hot. All over the place. Whenever they want. They chemistry they share on stage bleeds into the bedroom--kitchen, hallway, stairwell, wherever.

You want to read this book. Or listen. I listened. Kai and Wen are fantastic. Simon and Margot are fantastic.

Read it. Enjoy it. Buy the next book.

Love this series!!!!

I love the part where Simon tells Margo he loves her.

Kai and Wen's narrations are the best I have ever listened to. They convey so much emotion it's hard not to get pulled into the story.

Yes, once I got started it was hard to put down.

Any additional comments?

I am so in love with this series. Every book that's released is better than the last. I cannot wait wait until the next one is released. Simon has definitely given Gray, who is my favorite in the band, a run for his money. Any book in this series is definitely an auto buy for me.

Great Book

It is definitely one of the best I've listened to.

I loved everything about their performance.

Any additional comments?

Consumed by Taryn Elliot and Cari Quinn was another great book in the series. Simon's life completely changes after a horrible ending to their last show. Simon has Margo to help make sure that he rests his voice and takes care of himself. I loved reading more of Margo and Simon's story. This is a must read series.

Consumed by Music Again

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Every audiobook in the Lost in Oblivion series is wonderful. They're well-written, addicting, and have the best narration team.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That's a tough choice because I love both Margo and Simon, but I've followed Simon through so many books that it's finally good to see him get his HEA.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when Margo rehearsed for the L.A. Philharmonic and Simon got his love of music back.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Get lost in oblivion and you'll be consumed.

Any additional comments?

Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross really bring the characters to life.

Tragedy and a comeback

The Oblivion gang continues to gain fans and become a huge success until Simon encounters a tragedy that may change their futures forever. With time away to heal with Margo at his side, they fall in love and Simon begins the road back to his family.

WOW WOW WOW

This was the perfect answer to where Destroyed left off. What a beautiful way for two people to learn more about each other than through silence and body language. Well written and just as well narrated. I was skeptical of the male narrator because I didn't really like him in Destroyed, but he absolutely worked for this followup novella.
I am a huge fan of this series and can't wait to start the nextbook.
I recommend this series to anyone who wants a love story that's gritty and not always pretty.

Fantastic story but she's in cliffhanger

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. Once again the authors have written a wonderful romantic story filled with 2 people that are trying to find their way to a loving relationship. Margo has never known love before and has a hard time accepting it because she feels that it will just be ripped away. Simon has been so dedicated to his career that there isn't time for romance. When his career comes to a sudden halt, Margo is there to help him in his recovery. Their devotion to each other is heartwarming to say the least. This will lead to some hot as Hades sex and love making. Simon is ready to commit, but is Margo ready to risk her heart. Well, we won't know because this book ends in a cliffhanger! I didn't realize this until the end. The worst part is there isn't an Audible book for the conclusion of their story, even though there are Audible books for more stories following it in the series. This is really the pits for people with vision problems that rely on audible books for their escape. I really wish authors would let you know that it ends in a cliffhanger. If I didn't love these two authors' work so much, I would quit reading their work since I would never know if it will end in a cliffhanger.

Once again Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott do an outstanding job of narration. These two never let me down. Kai's voices so fit the characters. Wen gives us such deep sexy voices that will have you swooning. Both excellently portray the emotions of these characters. They are definitely voice artists and storytellers who will bring the story to life. I recommend this Audible book for your listening pleasure.

Perfect.

I love this series so much and ugh Simon and Margo. The Kai and wen narration combined with amazing author talent its great!! I am definitely telling friends!!
