WOW! I think this is my favorite book by Hydrus (yes, again 🤭)

With this poetry collection Hydrus has taken us on the emotional journey through love, passion, desire and heartbreak.

In the way only he can write, through his poems you can experience all sorts of ups and downs of emotions and heartbreak and the heartbreaking doubts that follow.

This book is a journey through all the stages of love and how it affects his life and emotional state of his mind.

This book is not only a beautiful, unique collection of poems and thoughts, but also a collection of pictures that are as breathtaking wonderful as the poetry and part of the story.

Hydrus is not only an amazing poet, but also a exceptional talented photographer.

For lovers of romance , poetry , and gorgeous pictures.

If you’ve read his previous work , you’ll notice it’s different from the norm , but a really good different- that’ll make you want more

Loved all the different emotions we go through and the relationship we see forming - but like the masochist I am - I was here for the sad parts .

Can’t wait until December !

I have always appreciated good poetry, but I wouldn’t define myself as too attracted by this genre, until I met Hydrus. He completely changed the way I look at poetry, and I can’t help but strongly recommend my fellow readers to discover and experience what this artist has to offer.

~𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆~

His ability to make poetry is incomparable, his words bring to life vivid images and decadent scenarios, passion filled moments to fully capture your heart and soul. I slowly savoured each word, inhaling every moment, I took my time to indulge into this alluring atmosphere Hydrus masterfully created, way too soon my adventure came to an end .

~𝑻𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆~

However, to describe this journey as just poetry wouldn’t do justice to the genius this artist is. Hydrus doesn’t just turn words into masterpieces, he also accompanies us in his adventure with his drawings, photography and art thus gifting us with an holistic experience. All our senses are called to take part into an unforgettable quest.

~𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒑 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔...~

In this new adventure we move through a city that offers solace, hope, sins and ultimately despair, but our traveller hasn’t reached his destination yet, his journey continues and I can’t wait to see the magic Hydrus has in store for us as he leads us into another spellbinding world.

"So far away from who I thought I could be"

I discovered Hydrus last year with ENDLove ENDPain, needless to say I fell in love with his beautiful words and this collection of poetry from WeakEND is no different.

"Every storm begins with rain"

This INCREDIBLE collection is filled with so much emotion you can FEEL the love, the hurt, the lust, the betrayal on every page. The poetry is raw, gritty, dark and deep that you can't help but be hooked and captivated behind the story in the words. I was so consumed and entranced by the beautiful words on each page that I didn't realize I had read the complete book until I saw those dreaded words "TO BE CONTINUED"..... I'm going to be counting down the days until I can finish this story!

"I brought the matches, And you lit a fire, This one encounter, To reignite desire"

I was stunned - I devoured the book in one day!
It was such an outstanding read and I loved everything about this book
It was super captivating from the moment I started reading till the end - I got so curious since this book is written differently compared to the other books Hydrus has written.
There is just something special and mesmerizing about WeakEND. Don't get me wrong I love the other books as much; but this one is special in a different way and I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

It was simply about love, betrayal and heartaches
I am a big fan of this version and I cannot wait for the continuation
And let's not forget about the photography - I felt in love with the photography in this book, wow beautiful pictures

Easily 5 stars - I'm sold.
It is definitely a page-turner

This was incredible

I actually hurt with this one. The direction near the end, really made my heart ache. The photography in here was so beautiful, which is per usual. But, I found the photo’s so aesthetically pleasing in combination with the theme of these words🖤.

WeakEnd by Hydrus has captivated my mind, this new collection was done with a different style. It’s a story about a man who loves, it has heartbreak, passion, hope, weakness. In each of his poems you can feel all of these emotions, and you’re just waiting anxiously to see what’s going to happen. I think the feeling of betrayal is palpable in his words. It’s not his usual style but I can’t say I didn’t love it, because I did. The book itself with the amazing photography is so elegant and exquisite to read and look at. I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this passionate collection.

What an incredible story to experience through sensual, intimate, lustful and longing poetry. Reading WeakEND in one evening made it feel as if you were there yourself with the characters, living it through sadomasochistic voyeurism. The black and white photography was exceptional and well chosen to tie the plot together in book I. It fit so well, it was made more palpable and realistic than fiction. A gorgeous cover and formatting was an added bonus. ❤️🖤❤️

Obviously Hydrus is amazing at what he does. But specifically, I love this more storylike style of poetry he is doing with this new series. The way the story unfolds infront of our eyes, the way we go through the stages of love and betrayal together. Beautiful. This is perfect for poetry lovers and for the romantics at heart. Definitely recommend!!!

This poetic romance story is so good! Now waiting patiently for Book 2!
A New Romantic experience. Many people are afraid of the word “Poetry” they hear it and pass on to the next book. I must say _hydrus has a way with words and has converted so many of us into fans of his work!

This new series is a romantic story intertwined with poetry and photography by the author himself. The story leaves you intrigued and wanting more with so much curiosity your left wondering what just happened and what should we expect next.

Passion, Betrayal, Love - the choices one must make for love....

Have you ever read something so raw that you had to sit there and process it slowly? That is me with this book. Hydrus does not throw a bunch of words on a page and say here you go no he paints them on like a beautiful portrait. I have always been a fan of this type of writing and since discovering this author last year I have been hooked. His books tell stories of real emotions. The words in this book tell a story that you will want to read.

HOLY HELL!! LOVED THIS SO HARD!!!
This book was a fucking masterpiece. So erotic, full of lust, desire, seduction...a play of good and bad...an angel and a devil. And yes...lots of hot photos and the New York vibes.

Weakend captivated me right from the cover, coz hell yeah it's Hydrus on it so immediately turns it into THE HOTTEST COVER EVER!!!

I read the book in one go and only when I finished it, did I realize that the whole time I was holding my breath and was so deep into it, it took me a while to come back to my senses.
My entire consciousness was consumed by his words.  Reality faded. And I fucking loved that. The euphoria.  The addiction. And damn, I will be forever addicted if Hydrus keeps giving me what I crave the most...his words.
He always leaves me speechless. And no matter what I say the words are superfluous.  Because they can never and in no way describe what I feel while reading them. My mind and body merge into one to experience every word and emotion that pours from the pages.  And when I reach the last page and close the book, I feel a hurricane of emotions raging inside me. Every fucking damn time!! 

For me the male pov in my hot and steamy reads are always THE BEST coz I love to know what HE is thinking about. The way he craves his girl...the way he can't live without her and all the dirty things he wants to do to her...coz FUCK...nothing is sexier than that. And with this book Hydrus gave me exactly that. A hot love story full of longing written entirely from a man's pov.
Besides, I think we all love to see how weak even the strongest man becomes, when it comes to love and lust.

We always say about some female author
"Oh she is the Queen of Romance"... well...for me Hydrus will always be the "King of Romance" because this book in itself is an unforgettable romance. A love story with an unexpected end. Presented in unique beautiful poetic way.  I turned page after page wanting, needing to know what will happen next.  And when I got to the end...I couldn't stop the tears. My emotions were all over the place.

Weakend was such a hot start of this new series and I fucking can't wait to read more about his angel and the little naughty devil.
And you guys...you need to READ THIS FUCKING BOOK!!

Please read it.  Experience this story.  Feel the love, the passion, the lust, the longing, the sadness...the pain.  Because only he knows how to present them to us in such incredible, unique and intense way, that touches the core of your whole being....the Hydrus way.
All the feels gets all the stars from me.

(ARC Review) My first thoughts after reading this arc were…Holy. Freaking. Wow! This book is so unique and something I have never seen before. I was hooked right from the beginning! The poems are carefully woven together to create unique little chapters in a romance novel. Each poem paints a vivid picture of a man’s journey to finding his heart’s desire. How he is brimming with emotional turmoil of both the lustful and dark side.  It even includes stunning photography that adds just the right touch to draw you even further into the essence of the story.
 
I cannot express enough the love that I have for this book. The fact that this is a series makes my little heart so happy. Hydrus did such an amazing job transforming his poetry into a sensually gripping book. I cannot wait to see how the story progresses in the next installment of the FallEND series!
 
I highly recommend that you check this one out!

📖 WeakEND 🖊Hydrus
WeakEND is a new poetic romantic journey that Hydrus takes us on. With captivating poems, remarkable design and beautiful photographs the book is a real treasure for poetry connoisseurs.
The author's talent is that he knows how to arrange words by rhyming them and at the same time provokes and awakens different emotions in the reader...
Every word scratches the mind, and every poem leaves a lasting impression on the soul. Everything is extremely strong, powerful, exciting and touching...
I have selected a poem, but every page in the book deserves to be read.
.
Every time
That we speak
I fall in love
Become so weak

My heart grows full
And then it dies
You are with him
You cannot lie


Shame

“Darkness awaits my fate.”

The way this collection had consumed me, that even days later, I’m still processing.

This collection put me through a plethora of emotions. Love, pain, betrayal, lust, and darkness that consumes us.
Hydrus’s way of weaving each word together to create a story. Beautiful, raw, emotional, and sensual. And the way his photography coincide’s with his poetry. Breathtaking.

I will never tire of Hydrus’s photo poetry.

P.s.
Patiently waiting for the next collection in this series.



*Thank you to Hydrus, Cleo, and Jojo for this ARC for an honest review.

As a romance reader, I loved this book of unique and raw poetry about lost love, heartache, and erotic adventures. And the black and white photographs with the poems are so beautiful! They really make it irresistible to not be drawn to this book. I’m looking forward to the next book to see where the story goes!

Themes: heartache, bdsm/kink, lost love, finding yourself after heartbreak.
