The Flight #2
Jade Eagles
Jade Eagles
is a cinematically told, unflinching dive into the mind of a struggling addict and the people who love him. It's a tale of failed redemption, a tragedy unfolding in words that are raw, unpolished, and feral. It's a tale that holds no punches. It will make you fall in love, sear with anger, fill with dread, and weep alongside characters so vivid you'll feel their breath on every page.
He came here to die. They want him to live.
Ruben wants to journal the details of his fiancé's spiral through addiction in an effort to craft something tangible to hang onto. Paul is a hurricane who clings to self-destruction like its his only salvation.
Through Ruben's lens we watch two broken men push and pull like they'll burn in each others arms and freeze in any absence. In Paul's eyes we see his world, fragmented and broken but not beyond repair.
Like a car speeding towards a busy intersection, we see a tragedy unfolding, but how it ends is far from clear.
Only one thing is known for sure, nobody can save you if you don't want to be saved.
(Content This work contains graphic depictions of sex, drug abuse, sexual assault, implied CSA, mentions of suicide and mild gore.)

If you are in the LGBT community and like romantic/drama books this would be a good read for you. Talks about addiction and problems that go with it and can happen when you have a hard time fighting the addiction. You may want to read Ruby Bird first then Jade Eagle in that order.
