About this listen

Six years ago, an unforeseen incident turned Rory Gallagher’s life upside down. Now, he lives in darkness, fearing the sun, fearing light altogether. Rory has developed Heliophobia. As a creature of the night, Rory has learned to adapt to his unusual lifestyle. He draws comfort from shadows and safety from the nighttime hour.

Unfortunately, his mind is the darkest place of all, and the one place he can’t seem to escape.

Finding help isn’t easy, but when Rory registers with a local, 24-hour counseling center, the man he meets surprises him in more ways than one. Young psychology student, Adrian Anderson, is Rory’s complete opposite. How will this smart, preppy, do-gooder ever get through to the man with a chip on his shoulder who has learned to hate the world?

It doesn’t take long for Rory to discover they have something horrific in common. Despite rules and regulations, this sad detail helps them form a bond neither of them expected. Could Adrian be the shining light Rory needs to dispel the darkness for good?

Another intense story. Again cruelty is managed and the main characters drew me into their world and I laughed and cried with them. Well worth a read.

Powerful and emotional - Nicky always delivers a truly immersive tale. Adrian and Rory are opposites but sizzle on the page when they come together and share a very special bond. A dramatic story with lots of intensity.
Adam Gold's narraton of the audio is outstanding and brings even more emotion and drama to the story.

I found the first book more emotional that this one. I did enjoy Rory & Adrian’s connection, pushing others boundaries to be better. I will continue the series

Good addition to the series
