great book but also a great annoyance

Revisado: 04-22-25

I'm not going to say much here because people need to read it themselves. but in my honest opinion, Elaina was the real antagonist of this story. She's the epitome of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

I really enjoyed the book. The narration was really good as well. I was really surprised by the ending. In the end, justice prevailed

decent story. easy to listen. more research needed

Revisado: 10-24-24

The book was better than I expected. I like the character development. however, the author really needs to do a bit of research on basic football fundamentals. #52 is a linebacker (defense) number. never would a wide receiver have that number. the quarterback gloating about him having 80 yards of passing is very far fetched. 9/10 80 yards passing is an absolute terrible game. I'm a pro football player but I love audiobooks so I wanted to give a try. just those small details kind of irked me. but, overall, solid solid book.

A love/hate relationship

Revisado: 05-30-24

I have a love/hate relationship with this book. I love a good relationship blossoming story that delves into controversies by both protagonists and this book nailed that. However, I was a bit put off by the constant “in your face”, random sexual innuendos. I get it, their in their super early 20s and hell I was the same way when I was that age but every chapter was at least 2-3 “I need to cum” “I’m bulging” blah blah blah and it just kinda felt forced.

Another thing that was grinding my gears was the major lack of communication. Yes, that is the whole point of the book but once again, it felt forced. There were blatant times that some situations could have been resolved by someone just speaking their mind and telling the truth. But that makes this book and I understand why information was withheld in certain situations.

Overall, it’s a sweet, easy to listen book that gives a lot of emotions - which I truly enjoy.

I do recommend this book for someone who is a fan of Abby Jimenez (I think this book pays a few tributes with the playlists), Ashley Poston and Emily Henry.

7/10

A Masterpiece that needs to be Optioned Immediately

Revisado: 05-20-24

There isn’t enough positive things I can say about Ladarrion’s book “Blood at the Root”. This listen had me enthralled from the very first minute and it just kept getting better and better.

The narration by Jalyn Hall along with Ladarrion’s writing had me swept away into a world that I could only wish that I could be a part of. This is masterful execution at its finest.

As a black avid audible listener, I couldn’t be more proud of this work of art and I am so looking forward to more of Malik’s adventures at Cayman.

A perfect story. 10/10

I need more

Revisado: 10-31-23

I am led to believe that the story doesn’t end here. There’s too many gaps that need to be filled which I’m sure the author may have something up her sleeve. The story is gripping and it was a unique pace that I haven’t been used to but it made sense for that decision. It was a captivating story that has me yearning for more. I need answers and a complete conclusion. Overall, highly recommended read/listen.

One of the best audiobooks I have ever read

Revisado: 05-06-23

I am completely invested in these characters and I would love it if there was a book two and three following Dylan’s and Jamie’s high school career and into college. I feel there is so much more you could do to build their character arc and also JP’s redemption (self reflected) on life. Ahhh give me more give me more! I have already listened three times!

Lily Chu does it again!

Revisado: 01-23-23

I’m OBSESSED with Lily Chu’s audiobooks. (I’m also a married man who listens to mostly international spy thrillers and crime stories). Once I started listening to The Comeback on a whim to switch things up a little bit, I couldn’t stop listening. It’s written so well and Phillipa Soo does a amazing job embodying the characters in the story. These two ladies have me HOOKED. I can’t wait to listen to the next one Lily comes up with! Got me wanting to move to Toronto..
