Publisher's summary

His music could have made Damien Cantwell the star of his generation. But living fast has its consequences, and Damien soon finds himself spiraling into a dark world full of unfettered debauchery and brutal violence. The horrors of drug addiction are painted in sharp, biting prose in this novel about throwing away everything and finding that some things are too precious to lose.

Ryan, is a talented author, story teller and visionary. Ever since I’ve found his work on YOUTUBE it’s all I ever look forward to watch after I get off work or get ready for bed or even when I wake up on the morning I’m patiently awaiting something new from Ryan’s arsenal!! I would highly recommend this book and anything else he is a part off!!Thank you Ryan!!

Too scattered no real ending

This book is full of crazy drug stories, but it is very hard to follow and sometimes disgusting. I thought the narrator was very monotone and did not express emotion very well.

Amazing - juicy & pulpy story telling

Ryan Leon is an amazing writer!
This little gem grabs you by the bags and takes you on a wild ride from the first sentence!
This is in the genre of Requiem for a Dream and delivers with just as much visceral power. Highly recommended!!

Frustrating loose ends

Started out strong but got progressively more dark, taking turns not typical for this type of story. Mispronunciation at times by the narrator distracting. Lots of loose ends by the end
