Book Review: Waiting for the Flood by Alexis Hall

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Purchase Link: Website

There is just something about the way Alexis Hall writes first person POV that, combined with a good narrator, is like poetry to the ears.

This re-released version includes two stories--the original Waiting for the Flood and then another novella, Chasing the Light.

Waiting for the Flood
Edwin and Adam are so precious, so soft, so gentle, and their story is just as good. They're like two balls of sunshine and I adore them both. I was not expecting it to end where it did but it was absolutely perfect.

Chasing the Light
Marius is Edwin's ex. He is prickly, difficult, and sometimes downright rude. He is also the complete opposite of Leo, who is kind, tender, and patient. Both of them sharing a narrowboat together at Christmastime gets a little... steamy.

Hall's prose is truly beautiful and lyrical, and I could listen to it time and time again and never get tired of it. And definitely do not miss reading or listening to "Aftermath" at the end. It wraps everything up beautifully, and if you don't end the book going, "squee!" I don't know what to tell you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this audiobook arc in exchange for my honest review.
