We thought death was the end, turns out it’s just the prologue.

RUE

I died, briefly. Then I came back. Now I’m determined to make the most of every minute I have left.

Only problem is I’ve been saddled with supervision. Kane Deveraux is handsome, smug, and cold as a tombstone. So why does he make me feel something more powerful than death?

KANE

As a reaper, I have helped crossover thousands of souls. And not one of them have touched mine…until Rue Chamberlain. She’s stubborn, reckless, and maddeningly radiant.

And for this centuries-old spirit, she’s a living woman that is absolutely off-limits. If I follow the rules, I will lose her. If I break them, I might lose everything.

Grim is a darkly romantic, wickedly funny tale of life, death, and a love that refuses to rest in peace.

"Grief is not sorrow. Sorrow is a guest who will leave. Grief is a parasite— it latches on, it feeds, it remakes. It is a rot that eats away at you and leaves only a husk. It is the weight pressing down on my chest with every breath, my dark shadow beside me, whispering I will never be whole again."

♡I entered the OtherWorld & I never want to come back! DJ & Joe wrote an incredible emotional story that left me speechless & also healed a part of my mind, body, & soul in the process. As someone who works close to death on a daily basis the connection I have with this book is bone chilling.

The attention to detail in this story was immaculate & it truly made me feel like I entered another realm. The character development in this story was also phenomenal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that sometime in the future we get to dig deeper into the OtherWorld DJ & Joe created!

Reading Grim was an experience but hearing it come to life was truly other worldly!! The amount of raw talent, team work, connection, & emotions this cast put into this outstanding performance was impeccable. Grim has taken the number one spot for my favorite audiobook of the year!

To all of my audiobook lovers Grim is a must listen!! If you're not an audiobook lover but want to give an audiobook a shot you 100% should start right here!!♡

~As Always Happy Reading~

Joe has always been at the top of my favorite narrators list. The amount of emotion injected into each project is beautiful. I’ve also followed Andi for quite a while and always loved her expressionism.

When I saw that Joe cowrote a book I was immediately interested but it took longer than I’d like to get the audio. I can honestly say it was worth the wait. This story is heart wrenching and cast is phenomenal. I love afterlife interpretations and this did not disappoint. Rue and Kane are absolutely explosive. The tension between them is absolutely delicious. I just found out that there is a sequel coming and BET I will be preordering. I aspire to be a narrator and IMO this is learning from the absolute best!

Delectably Delicious

“For every soul who’s ever watched something precious slip through their fingers and didn’t pretend it didn’t hurt. You are not broken for grieving, you’re brave for remembering.”

This story made me reach into the deepest parts of my soul and has honestly touched me in ways I thought a story never could.

The outlook given on passing to the other side was a beautiful but yet tragic story. We all wonder what waits for us in the end….
This story was beautifully written!
It captured the true, raw emotions and vulnerability of dealing with death and grief.

The soundscape of this audiobook was so well done, it mends beautifully with the story and doesn’t overtake the narration. Which was PHENOMENAL!

Andi’s performance was full of emotion and sass, she really brought Rue to life. I loved every second of it!
Joe bringing Kane to life was absolutely amazing!
The two together had great chemistry and had me laughing one minute from the sass and banter, and clutching my chest, eyes full of tears through the emotional scenes the next minute.
Definitely went on an emotional roller coaster!

The full cast also includes:
James Cassidy, Maxine Mitchell, June DeBorahae, and Sean Masters.
They all did an amazing job bringing the side characters to life! It allowed them to coexist throughout the story alongside the main characters.

These two combined made the listening experience capture your attention and fully draw you into the story. Making that deeper connection to the writing. Absolutely an outstanding production!

I must say this story hit me pretty hard as I just had a major loss of a loved one. It helped me heal in ways I never expected or even knew I needed. This story will definitely stick with me!

Absolutely Phenomenal!!

Grim isn’t just an audiobook it’s an experience that gets under your skin. It’s raw, emotional, witty, and thought provoking in the best ways.

Rue and Kane’s story is hauntingly beautiful. Their connection is full of pain, love, and hope. But this isn’t just a love story… it’s a reflection on life, loss, and the courage to love even when you already know how it ends.

The full-cast performance takes this story to another level entirely. Every detail… the sound design, the emotional pacing, the immersive atmosphere feels cinematic.

🎧 Andi Eloise perfectly captures Rue’s sass, strength, and vulnerability.
🎧 Joe Arden delivers Kane with such depth. His dry humor, pain, and quiet devotion are magnetic.
🎧 James Cassidy as Big D is unforgettable, commanding, funny, larger than life.
🎧 Maxine Mitchell and June deBorahae as Time and Fate are haunting and powerful, their twin energy absolutely electric.
🎧 Sean Master as Asher and Seek brings warmth and emotion that genuinely moved me.

Every performance shines, but together, this cast creates something alive.

This isn’t just a story you listen to, it’s one you feel. Truly phenomenal work by DJ Krimmer, Joe Arden, and the entire Blue Nose Audio creative team.

A Story That Reaps Your Heart and Refuses to Let Go!
