Grave Dissonance: Rhythm and Tempo

Rate this book
I have two things going for me in life; music and my best friend.



My world is black and white because it has to be. I need control to keep myself from spinning. Order helps me stay calm.



The only turbulence in my life is my bandmate and best friend. He is madness and chaos, but somehow he’s also my refuge.



I never expected to crave him with such intensity, and now I fear my desires will shatter the only stability I’ve ever known.

I thought I already loved this book when I read it the first time. But then I got the audiobook…and holy fuck. J.F. Harding and Teddy Hamilton absolutely outdid themselves in this one.

Harding’s Marley gutted me. The pain, the fragility hidden behind his sharp tongue and chaos. And Teddy as Iggy? God. He oozed charm and reckless energy. Together, they brought this dangerous, toxic, obsessive love to life in a way that was addictive and absolutely consuming.

The performance was raw, sexy, heartbreaking, and so goddamn immersive. If the book made me obsessed, the audiobook made me feral for it all over again.

ALC REVIEW

Mila has done it again. She’s managed to pack so much emotion into a 3 hour audiobook. We have laughter, yearning, SPICE and it wouldn’t be a Mila Crawford book without a little trauma.
Iggy and Marley are two members of Gutless Void (whom we met in Rudimentary Distortion), they’re also best friends. I love how we got to see both sides of their internal struggling, the memory flashbacks and when they finally realized how they felt 💡
Plus Connie’s little found family 🥹😭

I’ve listened to so many Mila Crawford books I will say that JF Harding is becoming one of my favorite narrators, he has this smoothness to his voice that is 🤌 And I cannot forget my man Teddy. He narrated Iggy so well. The way he had his goofy personality down but at the same time when we had his vulnerable inner thoughts, ugh…perfection.

“What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I consumed with Marley’s fucking junk?”

What you’ll find:

4.5⭐️ | 3.5🌶️ | ♾️🎧

I went in blind and I absolutly loved this short story! It made me laugh, gave me all the feels and the spice hot🥵 I was immediately intrigued by their relationship and loved watching it unfold! The health represintations was really good, combinded with the angst, yearning and spice. The perfect combination for a good book if you ask me.

The narration was amazing. JF Harding and Teddy Hamilton did a perfect job of bringing these two characters to life! The debt, the spice and humor they’re performance was a 10/10 for me. Mila as well as JF Harding have caught my ears and eye so I will definitly be listening/reading to more of their work🫶🏾

I've listened to a bunch of audiobooks, but this one is one of my absolute favorites. The narrators do an amazing job bringing Marley and Iggy's characters to life.
Marley and Iggy's story is hoy and equally emotional. Their story will have you feeling as though you're on a rollercoaster. The plot just makes you want to keep listening to these two hash things out and get their happy ending. Give this audiobook a try! You will fall in love with these two. ❤️

Mila has a way of writing the darkest of words and scenes and yet makes them so beautiful, heart warming and sweet! Teddy and J F Harding did a phenomenal job! I loved that Teddy made Iggy’s feelings so raw and real as he fell in love with his best friend. While J F Harding voicing Marley was so guarded and fearful of the same love. How did you all pack so much raw passion and fury into 3 hours??

This book is hauntingly beautiful and I’m loving it!! Mind you it is not for the faint of heart yet Iggy and Marley is just breathtaking and I’m here for it! These two souls are perfect for each other, I loved Alpha Marley but when the roles are reversed damn Iggy was so sexy and I’m happy that Marley eventually got comfortable to be dominated by him. Teddy and J. F. Hardy did a great job.

This was a great book as per usual for Mila. And as usual, I wanted a longer book because the characters were amazing.

The production of this audiobook was top tier. There was sound effects, distortion, and so much more that really brought this audio to life. I was very happy listening.
