About this listen
Aron Lincoln never meant to take on the role of parent.
He was only 14-years-old.
His job was to be a big brother, one his little brother could learn from - maybe even look up to.
He wasn’t supposed to be the one his brother depended on for protection.
But when their dad walked away, and their mom chose something else over them, Aron was left with no choice.
He made a vow to protect his brother, and it’s a promise he intends to keep.

My first crush. My first kiss. The boy who ripped my heart out of my chest again and again. Over and over. I let him have it every single time. Willingly. We are that toxic high school couple you hear about, the one you witness in the hallway as they avoid each other. You laugh at them in class when they’re forced to work together, their gazes full of hatred. We are the couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year.... The back and forth is what kills me the most. I’m not his princess, I’m the girl he toys with when he’s bored.

A letter from my first kiss and my childhood everything...from prison. He may be nicknamed Saint, but this sweet, sexy biker most definitely has a wild streak. Hearing from him draws me right back into the Knights of Fury motorcycle club - the people I’ll always think of as family. He’s still the only man I’ve ever wanted. Each good, old-fashioned letter from my “prison pen pal” has my heart racing. Which is nothing compared to how I feel when Saint surprises me in person, as a free man.

He's an actor. He can act normal. But then there's Lock.

Worth listening to!
A compelling and heartbreaking story! Unfortunately, one that seems all too familiar these days.
The narrator has done an excellent job! He is well spoken, with a very rich voice. He conveys the emotions of the text with great ease.

This powerful short story was brought to life by Justin's fantastic narration. He truly knows how to voice characters to make them seem real and genuine. I highly recommend this story to others, and anything else he narrates.

Not Alone Novellas
Not the Same (Not Alone Novellas, Book 2) is a young adult novella that is the prequel to Not The End. It is well detailed with world building descriptions for a pint size story. Heartrending moments entwined into the narrative bringing doleful perception. The brothers friendship was adoring. Aron's story leads into Dimah's story superlatively.
Narator Justin Mills performance brought out all the right sentiments at the right places.

Not The Same
I didn’t realize this book 2, I will have to go back and listen to Not The End. That being said, I didn’t feel I was missing anything from the story, until I read the blurb for book 1. Not The Same is an emotional and heartbreaking story. This short story sucked me and held me there until the end. I can’t wait to see where the next book takes me.
This might be my first time listening to Justin and he did a great job narrating!!

Heart wrenching
Powerful story! I was surprised how in depth it seemed for a short story. I never felt like anything was missing. The bond between the boys was so strong and unbreakable. It sure packed a lot of heartache into such a short time. The narration was strong. Perfect for the story. Great set up for the next book.

Heartbreaking!
This is the second book in the Not Alone Series. This is a prequel of Not the End. In this novella, we learn more about Aron and his brother's heartbreaking past. This is an emotional story, and a great addition to the Series. Justin Mills is a new narrator to me. He did a great job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

Beautiful told!!
Another book I have read and loved by this author so I had to listen as well. A story of two brothers struggling to survive. It is a gut wrenching listen and your heart will melt into a million pieces as one brother will give up his life to ensure his little brother succeeds. It’s beautiful and emotional listening to Justin Mills tell this story. He will leave your heart in the floor and then pick it back up again and fill it with love. So very well done!!!
