About this listen
Gold Medalist 2022 Readers’ Favorite for Literary Fiction
Lily doesn’t remember her death, or even her reawakening, but she knows this: the sun is to be feared, words are her salvation, and—above all—the bench facing the playground is hers. She is the pin holding the hands of the clock, watching the world move and change around her while she remains fixed, lonely, and unchanged... until a boy takes a seat beside her.
A story about love, loss, and what it means to live forever.
©2021 R. Raeta (P)2025 R. RaetaCritic reviews
"Quite simply one of the most heart achingly, beautifully written books which I have had the pleasure to read. This is 100% how it *should* be done." (Kenneth Baxter, author of Circles and Stones)

Story
Anna is used to hunger and hardship. Ever since the pale shadows on her skin were mistaken for leprosy, she has lived alone in exile, each day focused only on survival. Then a single act of kindness towards a beautiful stranger changes her life forever. Suddenly, her body is as untouched by time as it is by harm, and Anna experiences a new freedom she has never known. But as decades and centuries pass, the lives of everyone she meets slip through her fingers like grains of sand… everyone, except Khiran—the shapeshifting god who gave her immortality.

Story
I was born with a curse that spun a violent storm around me, seizing every beautiful and fragile thing that flittered into my life, tearing it all from my grasp as effortlessly as the wings of a butterfly are torn from its body. Or so I thought, anyway. It all changed when they came for me, when they dragged me to trial for my crimes. I should have faced execution, but fate is a fickle and funny thing, taunting me with the knowledge that I was always destined to be so much more.

I went in to find my best friend. Ophelia disappeared without a trace after going to one of those elusive Red parties. Turns out Red parties are where vampires feed on willing humans, and where some people vanish, never to be seen again. I went to that party for answers. What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt.

Story
Not many people can say they woke up dead. Even fewer people wake up as ghosts. Guess I’m the unlucky one since no one can see or hear me, and I have no recollection of how I ended up like this. I thought I’d spend the afterlife alone… until him. The solitary man who stumbled across me during my restless wandering of the Scottish Highlands. He doesn’t want me around. I can’t seem to stay away. It turns out Ciaran has a dark secret. And I’m determined to discover exactly what he’s hiding even if it might mean the death of me all over again.

She sells her healing potions at the village market by day and tends to her otherworldly garden by night, caring for her magical bees and furry familiar, Peek, at their cottage.

Story
On the day of my twentieth birthday, a brutally handsome Shadow Fae darkens my doorway and whisks me away to an elite Fae academy. The problem is I'm not Fae, and I certainly don't have any magical powers. Despite this, I'm thrust into a realm where magic is as vital as breath and far more dangerous. Thrown into an academy teeming with powerful Fae, I must navigate the treacherous waters of magical education, summon my dormant powers, and battle merciless fellow students to prepare to face the rival Arcanum Citadel across the river.

My whole life, there was never a place I called my home. Because home wasn't a place to me; it was a person. Three people, to be exact. Everett, Griffin, and Zane. Three boys who always protected me against the harsh reality of our world. That is, until they aged out of the system before me. All the promises that were made were then broken. They left me behind and made a name for themselves as rock stars and never looked back. The next few years left me broken and closed off until it was my turn to leave. I had nothing and nowhere to go. That was until I found High Roller omegas.

And then he showed up. Heroin Heartbreak is the hottest band around and Ty is the reason why. His blistering blend of sexiness, bad-boy charm, and killer voice makes him the perfect front man. But his adoring fans don't realize that it also makes him an arrogant, annoying, unapologetic ass. And he's determined to make my stay here hell.

This is love
The thing I love most about R Raeta's books is the way she writes love. It is not some flashy, crazy, insta-love but rather love grown in the quiet moments. The companionship of someone who knows you and cares, love grown from the deepest depths of friendship and support through the lowest of lows. She writes this beautifully and her stories always tug at your heartstrings. Everlong is no exception and Shannon Nicole Locke does an incredible job of bringing Lily and the other characters to life in her own quiet way that suits the story perfectly. I will forever love and recommend this book and it was beautiful to hear it. ❤️

This book I’m sure would have hit right had I read it when I was in the mood for a slow book where you’re following a narrator that is confused. But it just didn’t do it got me.
