About this listen

Caspien Deveraux was poison.

It took me years to realise that he hadn't been born like that. He'd been cultivated and nurtured by a careful hand and a bitter heart. When I first met him, he was a bud. One primed to bloom beautifully and deadly. One I should have torn out at the root.

I loathed him. I loved him. And until him, I hadn't known just how completely those two things could exist at once.

Holy shit. The narration of this book was immaculate. There wasn’t one second of it I felt like someone was reading me a story. He brought every character, every emotion completely to life. Amazing

Narration was amazing

This was a really lovely reimagining of great expectations. The narrator does a truly amazing job and I suspect elevates this book with his wonderful work on this audiobook.

Beautiful narration

Probably the absolute best romance novel I’ve listened to this year, maybe ever. So well written and read even better.

Incredible Story!

Honestly, this book broke my heart so many times, I stopped counting! Luke is such a precious soul, he didn’t deserve this sh*t, Jude, my baby, your love was everything! Cas, I’m so sorry! Nathan, you are just perfection, and Gidien, I can’t ever feel sorry for you! I felt sick for 80% of this book, so heartbreaking, so devastating yet so beautiful! ❤️

OH MY GOD!!!

Don't believe all the other reviews about how perfect and life changing this book is. Listen for yourself! I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this tops them all or definitely in the top 5. Story is so amazingly well done, hats off to Scarlett Drake! The narration is so superb I beg you to find fault. I don't usually listen to titles twice unless they're super wonderful and not right after I finished it. But I'm about to start it again! The best of this decade for sure!

Simply beautiful

I can honestly say this has been one of my most favorite books I have ever listened to. Once I started listening I couldn’t stop. I already wish I could read it again for the first time.

Heart breaking and beautiful

Wow! Just wow! Gripping story, excellent characters, gorgeously read. Just spectacular. I listened to it and now look forward to reading it as well.

Spectacular!

A standout among the ever expanding queer romance genre, Oleander perfectly captures the essence of Dickens’s beloved “grotesque tragicomic” story and sets it free to explore love, loss, and healing in the 21st century.

A classic voice with modern sensibilities.
