If you thought that student debt would drown you, the debts collected in this book literally kill you. Lirium (Joe) is a very damaged Collector of life energy that is barely hanging onto his humanity. The world he lives in is gritty and dangerous for anyone not deemed important enough to get the "hits" he collects to keep their potential flowing. Those who are destitute debt out their life in hopes of making it better. If the economy or sickness hit they are basically screwed if their debts add up more than their potential. Lirium ends up tricked and helping a desperate young woman and her sister. Once he heads down that road in the first serial novel, he is then chased and goes slightly bonkers trying to keep up with all the betrayal and changes around him. He is a likeable broken character who I hope gets his peace in the end. Warning: all the serial novels end on cliff hangers that make the reader quickly scramble to read the next.Format: .Mobi, given to review through Netgalley.com-Given this book in return for my honest opinion.
