Publisher's summary

A story about a boy who dreamed of rock and roll.

A story about a girl who dreamed about a boy.

An epic, all-consuming love story about betrayal, loss and learning, that spans over 20 years.

This is the story of us: "I was just 11 years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever."

I love him and no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many people conspire to keep us apart, despite the fame and the distance, it will only ever be him.

An edgy coming-of-age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades.

Georgia and Sean's story will stay with you long after you hear the final word.

An emotional, smoking-hot, gut-wrenching read.

This audiobook is for adults with an open mind. Sex, drugs, some rock 'n roll, angst, and heartbreak. Tissues may be required. May contain triggers.

WOW,. Just WOW.

I loved Carnage soooo much. The story is a really good one and the narrator did an awesome job with the rendering of the characters's diverse feelings and emotions. A beautiful, emotionally demanding journey.

Tear jerker of a series

This book is absolutely amazing, entertaining and tear jearking. A friend recommended it and I was so mad at her for not telling me sooner. The story makes you laugh and then makes you sob. I have never been so affected by a story before. A true triumph

Emotionally Devistating

I was in the mood for a read that would make me ugly cry and Carnage delivered. I love how it was written as though Georgia was reflecting back and writing her own biography, the story of them! A very beautiful read but I recommend adding a trigger warning for suicide. In the event someone reads this who is struggling with their own mental health the ending is bleak and feels hopeless. I personally love not always getting a beautiful HEA, but a warning for suicide is needed.

An EPIC love story, a MUST listen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Firstly let me start with one complaint; and it’s towards audible … why had this book never been a recommend? Seriously? WtH?!?!?
This is one of the most AMAZING listens in rockstar romances EVER! A BEAUTIFUL, TRAGIC EPIC STORY
This was a non-stop, edgy, passionate, and emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish and I LOVED IT!!!! It made me feel everything. It consumed me. It took over my life. I couldn't put it down, didn't want to stop listening & will never forget this story.
But please note that this is not your typical romance story. It completely shattered all my "book rules", but my love for this story makes it an exception to my rules and this is without a doubt one of my top favorites now. It broke my heart & this talented author pieces it back together! I usually don’t listen books make me cry…this one is THE exception to ALL the rules!

So, what's the story about? .... I'm going to tell you as little as possible because you should just experience for yourselves but here's what I’ll give u:

"I was eleven years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever."
... then that boy grew up to be a world famous rock star. Carnage tells a story that spans two decades. We see Gia and Sean grow up together and fall in love. True, unchanging, unwavering forever LOVE.
"I'll love you forever G, wherever I am in the world, whatever I'm doing, it will always be you." -Sean
Sorry but it’s best go into this blind😉 PS; LOVED that setting is UK and all the slang, again EPIC!
