About this listen
The day Mike's dealer failed to show up was the catalyst that forced Mike and his girlfriend, Rosie, to take the first steps on a sometimes bizarre and tragic journey.
Their addiction compels them to steal from the type of people that would stop at nothing to retrieve their treasure. Slowly the couple become progressively more entangled in a web of their own making.
The story begins in London. Rosie receives a Valentines gift, which she may later regret accepting. As a naturally shy girl, Rosie hadn't wanted to be in a relationship with Mike. He had trapped her and now it was to late to extricate herself from the situation. However, fate intervenes and swings their fortunes back and forth like a pendulum, from love to hate and from treachery to tragedy.
May be listened to as a stand-alone.

Story
Bestselling mystery writer Lucy Harper's talent for invention has given her fame, fortune, and an army of adoring readers. It has also saddled her with dependents, namely her fawning husband Dan. When Dan suddenly goes missing, his disappearance evokes dark memories that take Lucy back more than thirty years—to the day her brother vanished without a trace. That's when Lucy began conjuring stories. The police investigation revealed few confirmed details, so she created tales to fill in the gaps, to explain what happened that day her brother disappeared—and Lucy was the only witness.

This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

A very emotional story
I enjoyed this story about Rosie and Mike's world of crime and drug addiction played through their desperate relationship. The narration suits the world that E.M.G. Wixley expertly life. Mike is some piece of works and you feel sorry for Rosie. A great story well worth a listen to.

Not sure what I was expecting, but I certainly felt it.
Let me start by saying I received a copy in exchange for my honest review of it.
That said, I knew nothing of the book going in, apart to it being an early (or possibly the author’s first) work, so I approached with an open mind. And I’m glad that I did. The book is an intriguing look into the horrors of drug culture that bring Wallace’s “Infinite Jest” to mind.
Stylistically, you can tell the author is finding their bearing and developing a style in the beginning of the book which coalesces into a whole by the end, but there’s a strong story that kept me coming back for more.
At times beautiful and horrific, this is definitely worth a read. This work has added the author to my “to check out in more depth” list.

A bizarre story of drug use.
I guess any book on drug use would be bizarre. After all, when a person is on drugs, very little makes sense. This is a story of the mysterious allure drugs have on those addicted. How it puts people in really bad and abusive situations. But it is also a book on breaking free from it and progressing without it when a person is ready and is given the security they crave. All in all, this is a great book filled with stress and success.
