Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon is a rock stars romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Poppy Royana.
This is the first book of Kyra’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. The story will take you on an emotional journey. By the end you can’t help but root for Ellie and Drew. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series Everybody Knows to get Lucy and Jason’s story.
Poppy did a great job on the narration. I absolutely loved her voice.
Awesome Story & Narration Captivating & Heartfelt!
Nobody Knows
Razes Hell, Book 1
By: Kyra Lennon
Narrated by: Poppy Royana
I thoroughly enjoyed this awesome book, I am a huge fan of rock star romance novels and l loved Kyra Lennon’s unique and original story and the characters she created. They are realistic and easy to relate to. The three characters have been good friends since they were young, Ellie Hayes and the two Brooks brothers, Jason and Drew, they were all neighbors. The two brothers are in Razes Hell, an up and coming rock band and Ellie, an illustrator wanting to get work on her own and not for who she knows, though the opposite happens when her best friends, the Brooks brothers get some bad publicity. The bands manager wanted Drew and Jason to grab media attention so they created create some controversy, fake fighting only it brings up old wounds and turns to real fighting. Ellie always had a special relationship with Jason, it could have but never did turn into more, but lately she realizes she grew feelings for Drew, the older of the two brothers. But can something come of it, will Jason be ok with it, can Drew get past Jason and Ellie’s special bond. Can the band survive the fighting and then Jason’s fall to old habits. This fast moving story is well plotted and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, emotionally driven moments, heartfelt ones all leading to an awesome friends to lovers romance. Kyra Lennon, thank you for this awesome story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Poppy Royana is a fabulous narrator and voice artist. She does a great job portraying the characters, humanizing them, capturing all their emotions and projecting them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this fabulous listen
Ellie and brothers Drew and Jason had been best friends since childhood. But they still be friends when she is in love with one of them? Can this news feelings torn them apart? Can they handle of the bad media publicity with them being in a raising rock band? A tough and heartwarming love story. Pithecanthropus audiobook is g rear. I received a free copy of this audiobook and I voluntarily reviewed it.
I’ve read Nobody Knows twice now and the story consumed me both times. I often had to stop and remind myself that I was reading a book as Kyra Lennon’s words made me feel like I was there, right in the story, witnessing what was happening. This is an emotional story that beautifully weaves the journey of Ellie, Drew and Jason who each have their own battles to fight.
Whilst Jason comes across as your typical rock star, Drew is very different and definitely isn’t what you’d expect of an up and coming star. Drew has always been very selfless, but finally finds the courage to take something for himself, and Ellie is exactly what he needs. Drew is definitely my favourite Brooks brother!
Ellie has always seemed to have a closer bond with Jason, but in the prologue you could tell there was something special between her and Drew right from the moment they met. It takes years to develop into something more, but Ellie comes close to losing it when she seems unable to put herself, and Drew, first. Does Ellie seem to forgive Jason too easily? Yes, she does, but I was able to relate with this as I’m also a person who can be too forgiving. However, I don’t always see this as a weakness.
For me, it was Jason who took the biggest, and most difficult, journey in Nobody Knows. I think he’d never really had to face up to the consequences of his actions because he’d always had Drew, and Ellie, protecting him from the damage his decisions caused others. The plan devised by the band’s manager opened up old wounds for both Drew and Jason, and neither were able to stop what needed to happen for them to move on and realise what they really wanted. I’m excited to read Everybody Knows, which is Jason’s story along with Lucy, Ellie’s younger sister, who we meet in this first book.
I know this series comes before the Chaos and Consent series, but it really doesn’t matter which you read first. They compliment each other so well whilst also shining on their own. Nobody Knows is the fourth book I’ve read by this author and each has proven over and over again what an incredible talent she so clearly has. I’ve come to expect a certain type of story from Kyra Lennon and she hasn’t failed to deliver. With some authors, I’ll pick and choose which of their books I want to read, but with this author, I plan on reading every book she has written because I can’t get enough of her work. If you haven’t picked up one of Kyra Lennon’s books yet, then you need to do so today!

They decide to keep the relationship secret and enjoy their new budding romance, but once Jason finds out things start to get bumpy. How will Ellie decide which brother to side with? She feels a loyalty to Jason for everything they went through together growing up, but she doesn’t want to jeopardize her romance with Drew. Will she be able to remain neutral? Keeping things calm between the brothers has been her thing, but when there is so much on the line and their futures are in jeopardy she needs to take a stand.
Nobody Knows: A British Rock Band Romance (Razes Hell Book 1) by Kyra Lennon
There was something about this book that caught my eye and I’m so glad it did. I enjoyed every moment I spent reading this book even though it has a little more drama than I prefer.
Ellie grew up next door to Jason and Drew. They have been through so much with each other over the years. Unfortunately that ride isn’t over.
So much happens in this book with this trio and I don’t know which part I enjoyed more. I could take the easy route and say the ending, which I really liked but there were a few other moments that got me in the feels.
I cannot wait to read the next book to see what happens next.
Nobody Knows: A British Rock Band Romance (Razes Hell Book 1)
By Kyra Lennon
This was an excellent read. I had a hard time putting this book down once I got started. This story has romance, rock, friendship, forgiveness, and so much more. I was taken on an emotional ride with this read. Ellie, Drew and Jason all have their own issues to work through, but can their relationships survive it all? Drew and Jason are brothers and are in a band but there is much more to their relationship and Ellie finds herself in the middle since she’s their oldest friend. I found this story line took a little bit of a different turn then I expected and it pulled at my heartstrings at different times throughout. This author did an excellent job bringing me into the story so I became invested in the characters. This is a must read, I highly recommend this book.
5/5 Stars
Nobody Knows: A British Rock Band Romance (Razes Hell #1) by Kyra Lennon
This is the first book I’ve read by Lennon but it will not be my last. I think I’ve found a new book boyfriend in Drew. Lennon knows how to capture a reader’s attention.
Ellie is not used to being in the spotlight. When she finds herself falling for her friend she isn’t sure what to think. Jason and Drew have been her friends for several years. She isn’t sure what to think about everything happening. The quote I chose for Ellie is: “Mack, do me a favour and put Jason in a cab. And call Derek, he needs to know about this. Drew, come with me.”
Drew the drummer and songwriter for Razes Hell. He doesn’t know when his feelings have changed for his best friend. He doesn’t want to be second best anymore and it scares him. The quote I chose for Drew is: “Because he’s Jason. He’s so busy trying to do what he thinks is best for the band, he doesn’t think about anyone else. He’s a selfish p**ck.”
Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.
Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon is book one of the Razes Hell Series. This is a friends to lovers contemporary romance with some rock stars thrown in for fun.
Drew, Jason and Ellie have all grown up together. It’s always been the three of them. Now that Drew and Jason’s band is gaining popularity, their manager wants to create some drama for more. Anger between Jason and Drew, puts Ellie in the middle being pulled both ways. Ellie has feelings for Drew and Jason is her best friend. It’s impossible to choose. How can Ellie and Drew’s relationship grow when past starts sneaking up on everyone?
Ellie has an abundance of strength. It can’t be easy to hold on to a relationship while being pulled between two people you care about. I’m really glad this book wasn’t a love triangle. It was very well written and I was hooked!
Nobody knows how deep their issues run; nobody but Ellie. With friendship, a music career and a new love on the line, can Ellie keep their tangled pasts from ruining their futures? Nobody Knows is the first book in the Razes hell series and can be read as a standalone. We get a peek into the lives of rock stars with the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. It’s written realistically in that we see people with glowing talent and glaring flaws. The characterization is fantastic and spurs the plot ahead. Kyra Lennon’s version of romance is real, and messy and complicated. Lennon has an amazing way of putting you right in the middle of the story so that you really feel part of that world.
Nobody Knows (Razes Hell #1) by Kyra Lennon was a great 5 star read.
I love Rocker reads and I was pulled right in from the beginning.
Ellie’s childhood best friends are becoming huge rock stars. They quickly discover that as you gain stardom that things in your past become public knowledge, even things they don’t want to come up. Ellie has always been there for Drew and Jason and she is there for them now even more. She had a closer connection with Jason when they were younger but now Ellie finds herself feeling something stronger for Drew. Does he feel the same? Will all their secrets be revealed?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. We get lots of twists and turns that add a great element to the story. My emotions were all over the place. All of the secondary characters were great as well. I felt like I had a couple of different stores going on at the same time. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.
As a new to me author, there’s usually a getting to learn their writing style and get into the groove of reading, and I found myself clicking with this pretty quickly.
I love rock star romances, friends to lovers and girl chases guy books and this is a hat trick of all of those things.
I really liked this story, including the secondary characters. I can’t wait to read the next book!!
Nobody Knows (Razes Hell Book 1) by Kyra Lennon. This is not my first book by Kyra Lennon I love her writing style and I always try to read her books. This one is no different. Its the story of Ellie Hayes and her neighbors Jason and Drew.

They are up and coming and after getting some bad publicity they get Ellie to help them. Their manager starts a fake feud between the brothers but it ends up causing them to fight in real life.

Will all the craziness of fans and the rock star life keep Ellie and Drew from each other. Will Drew and Jason end up breaking up for good? Read Nobody knows to find out!
This is a beautiful story about 3 friends and all the things the have gone through together. This book will make you laugh and will definately make you cry. It deals with some tough subjects include death and emotion and shows that even though we think someone had a perfect life the reality is different
Drew, Jason and Ellie have been friends for years. With Drew and Jason being in a band that was rising in popularity a stunt put forward by their manager backfires.
It brings out a lot of rivalry and anger between the two brothers and Ellie is caught in the middle. Add to this her growing feelings for Drew and things heat up even more.
Just when you think there could be a happy ending one mistakes threatens to ruin it all. Can Drew and Ellie work? Can Jason and Drew repair their relationship after all this time? Will Ellie be forced to choose between her two best friends?
This is a amazing book and very well presented. It start off with trouble which is plaguing the band. I adore the way Jason, Drew and Ellie Interact with each other. This is a story that never had a dull moment in it. This book is very heartfelt. I really enjoyed the way this romance planned out.
Nobody Knows is the first book in the Razes Hell series by Kyra Lennon. This is a contemporary romance set around rock band Razes Hell. I had never read any of Kyra Lennon’s work before reading Nobody Knows so I had no idea what to expect from this book. What I got was a great story that had me gripped from the very beginning right through to the end.
A publicity stunt to make it look like brothers Drew and Jason Brooks are at war with each other goes badly wrong when the 2 brothers actually end up at odd with each other. Stuck in the middle is Ellie who has been friends with both since childhood. The problem is that she’s always been best friends with Jason but now her and Drew have admitted to an attraction to one another. What will this do to the already strained relationship between the brothers?
I really loved reading Drew and Ellie’s story. The book contains a great deal of angst as Ellie wars with herself over her friendship with Jason and her new relationship with Drew. She’s totally stuck in the middle and doesn’t know what to do for the best.
I am a total sucker for a rock star romance so I lapped this book up and can’t wait to read more of the trials and tribulations of the Razes Hell guys.
Nobody Knows (Razes Hell Book 1) by Kyra Lennon
4 Stars
This is the first book that I have read from this author and I was impressed. The amount of raw emotion in the story was astounding. The characters and their problems were relatable which made it easier to connect with them. This is not your usual love triangle. Ellie loves them both but differently. Jason has been her best friend since childhood and his brother Drew is who she’s in love with. The three have been to hell and back which has put a strain on their relationship especially between the brothers. The brothers’ band, Razes Hell, rise to fame has only added pressure. Being best friends with rock stars isn’t easy particularly when you are the glue that holds them together. When past issues are brought into the light publicly, feelings of resentment resurface. Things spiral out of control. Can Ellie mend the heartache between the brothers while her own life is in turmoil?
This book was well written. There was tension, secrets and betrayals. My only issue with the story was I found there was too much drama. I needed to step back every so often and take a break. Regardless, the story was very good and I will be looking for more books from this author.
Nobody Knows (Razes Hell #1) by Kyra Lennon
4- stars
Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon is a Rockstar Romance read that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. From the very first chapter I was intrigued and couldn’t wait to get to know our main characters. And I was certainly not disappointed with how this story unfolded.
This romance read was intense, addictive, captivating, detailed, and had me feeling all kinds of emotions. I was able to connect to the characters quite easily as the author wrote with so much detail that it made it easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, which is always a bonus. I loved the little flashbacks throughout the story as it gave me better insight into the complicated lives of our characters.
This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I look forward to reading more from her in the future and look forward to reading more from our bad boy Rockstar’s in the Razes Hell series.
Ooh this book is a good one. I love a good friends to lovers romantic struggle and throw in some music – I’m hooked! Lennon did a beautiful job weaving this story and pulling the reader in immediately. I felt the emotions and the music and just loved every page. Loved it!

By Kyra Lennon
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Nobody Knows (Razes Hell Book 1) by Kyra Lennon. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. I love rock band romances, and this is a good example of the reason why. I enjoyed reading about the characters. They are well-developed, and I enjoyed the interactions between them. The author does an amazing job of making the storyline and the characters come alive. The book seemed to come to an end too soon. The author does a good job of writing in detail so that I felt like I was right there with the characters. I found myself turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Don’t miss out on an exciting, romantic, and entertaining book. I highly recommend reading it.
