The First to Die at the End

De: Adam Silvera

Narrado por: Jason Genao, Anthony Keyvan, Kyla Garcia

In this prequel to the bestselling phenomenon They Both Die at the End, two new strangers spend a life-changing day together after Death-Cast first makes their fateful calls. #1 New York Times bestseller!

It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict when someone will die, or is it just an elaborate hoax?

Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he’s going to die. He has a serious heart condition, and he signed up for Death-Cast so he could know what’s coming.

Valentino Prince is restarting his life in New York. He has a long and promising future ahead and he only registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident.

Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first round of End Day calls goes out, their lives are changed forever—one of them receives a call, and the other doesn’t. Though neither boy is certain how the day will end, they know they want to spend it together…even if that means their goodbye will be heartbreaking.

Told with acclaimed author Adam Silvera’s signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that life is always worth living to the fullest.

Lessons in how to live life fully and deal w grief

This was a good book. I would rate it a 7.5. I may read it again in the future. Every chapter changes pov which was difficult for some characters I did not like. It has good lessons in living life and how to overcome obstacles. Slow burn romance, lgbtq +, and character conflict. Sad happy ending.

Yet Another Reason to Cry

I just finished this book and I’m literally sobbing. Adam Silvera does it again to us. He writes in a way that makes you feel like you are in the story, living it with the characters he creates. I’ve read/listened to several other books by him, and I have yet to be disappointed. The way that I can care for fictional characters as if they are real is in major part to Adam’s writing style. I recommend this book a thousand times over. I would recommend reading “They Both Die at the End” before taking on this one, but you don’t have to understand this storyline.

Adam Silvera Does It Again

I first found “they both die at the end” as a book recommendation on a dating site and it moved me to tears. Immediately after going through it I purchased this one thinking I could make it through without crying and i was doing well until that final chapter. Such a great book and such a great series

Heartbreakingly beautiful

A beautiful story that will remind you to live. I fell in love with Orion and Valentino and how they were able to make a lasting, loving connection in less than a day.
As the father of a child with a heart condition, I hope my kiddo finds a donor when the time comes, but just as important, I hope love is part of the story as well.

the story is out of this world

this is an amazing book the characters feel like people you have a bond with and like you are there with them doing everything and feeling the heart break. the only thing I wish is that this would become a movie.

Full of Heart

Beautiful journey of self-discovery and comprehension of the validity and significance of human emotions. This is simply a beautiful read. The voice acting makes it even better!

Even better than the first.

This was an incredible story. I loved it from start to finish. Even better than the first book.

heartstrings will be pulled on!

a very good prequel story! I wasn't prepared for the twists this story would take, but very much enjoyed the ride rooting for our main characters on their journey!

Awesome book!

This book is not only a great listen, it touches the soul and opens up the eyes to what’s really important. Fabulous, fabulous book and story
