Sweet & Heartfelt Rocker Romance! Great Narration
Out of Beat
Boys of Fallout, Book 1
By: Cassandra Giovanni
Narrated by: Kaye Anderson
I enjoyed everything about this great book, Cassandra Giovanni has a wonderful writing style she draws you right into her story and holds your mind captive straight to the end. She creates interesting storylines, they are original and realistic. Her characters are complex and well developed. I adored both leads, Skylar and Danny, they’ve been friends and shared a special bond. Danny is in a band named “Kill Me Softly” with her brother Joey and friends Aaron and Zack, they are on the verge of making it big. The band are all like brothers to her, when Joey asks Skylar to come on tour with them and become the bands photographer she agrees. She handles their social media and helps them get more notice. She just does not know how to handle, she has feelings for him but fights them, afraid he does not feel the same and afraid of what her brother or the rest of the band would think. I loved how their story played out, also loved the dynamics of the band and how they were like family. This is a great young/new adult rocker romance, there is never a dull moment in this book, there is drama, a touch of angst, some heartfelt moments and a wonderful friends to lovers romance. Cassandra Giovanni, thank you for another great book!
I listened to the Audible edition, Kaye Anderson is a great narrator and talented voice artist. She brings the characters to life giving each their own voice and personality. She does a great job covering both the male and female roles and her portrayal of each character is spot on. She captures their emotions and the drama of the story which is reflected and heard in her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
I listened to the audible version. This was my first introduction to Cassandra Giovanni and Kaye Anderson. The narrator was okay and sounded more natural to me (from the midwest) at 1.25 speed. I did like how she emphasized the lyrics.
The story itself was sweet and I liked the characters. I also liked how close Skylar was with all the band members, how it seemed natural for her to be living with all of them and how goofy they were together. The story brought up abuse and bullying and I appreciated that the band addressed bullying while on their tour, though I think it could have been expanded even more.
Overall, I thought it was a sweet story that I wanted to keep listening to.

The first book in the Boys of Fallout is a coming of age story dealing with bullying and a friends to love storyline.
Well written, sweet, with well defined characters that will warm your heart, also a nicely performed narration by Kaye Anderson.
Reviewed for Audiobook Obsession
I really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure how much I would be able to get into it as I normally dont like band/rockstar books but it was a very fun read. All the characters have a close knit chemistry with lots of banter and making fun of each other, which pulls you right into the story making you want to be part of the group.
The Narration by Kaye Anderson was a bit monotone and choppy at the beginning. I’m not quite sure if that actually changed and got better as the book went on or if I just got used to it and didn’t notice it after a bit. Overall I didn’t feel like if hurt the book, it was just an annoyance to start off.
