The Story Behind the Book
Three Chapters. One Life.
The Voodoo
Where it all began
Born into a world of mysticism and spiritual warfare, Shantel navigated forces most people never encounter. The roots ran deep — and the darkness deeper.
The Opioid Queen
The crown no one wants
At the height of her addiction, Shantel became known as the Opioid Queen — a title that masked unimaginable pain, loss, and a desperate search for escape.
The Blessing
Burned, but not destroyed
Through the fire came transformation. Shantel's journey to the other side of addiction is not just survival — it is a testimony that will change how you see your own story.
About the Book
If opioids have touched your life — this book was written for you.
From Voodoo Queen 2 Opioid King is not a polished recovery story. It is raw. It is real. It is the kind of testimony that makes you feel seen in your darkest moments.
Shantel Y. Johnson takes you inside the world of opioid addiction — not from the outside looking in, but from the depths of it. From her roots in Voodoo to becoming the Opioid Queen, and finally to the blessing that changed everything.
This book is for survivors. For families. For anyone who has watched someone they love disappear into addiction and wondered if they would ever come back.
Why It Matters
Why This Book Changes Lives
You Will Feel Seen
Shantel doesn't write from a place of having it all figured out. She writes from the trenches — and that honesty creates a mirror for every reader who has ever felt alone in their struggle.
It Breaks the Silence
Opioid addiction carries shame that keeps people trapped. This book names the unspeakable, strips away the stigma, and gives survivors permission to tell their own truth.
It Offers Real Hope
Not the kind of hope that glosses over pain — but the kind that walks through it. Shantel's story proves that the fire doesn't have to be the end. It can be the beginning.
It Starts Conversations
Families, counselors, and communities need a bridge to talk about addiction. This book is that bridge — raw enough to be real, powerful enough to spark change.
Reader Voices
Lives Already Changed
I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Shantel's story is my story — and for the first time, I didn't feel ashamed of it.

Recovery Survivor, 4 Years Clean
As a counselor, I've recommended dozens of books. None of them come close to the raw power of Burned But Blessed. My clients feel understood in a way no clinical text can provide.
Dr. Renee Williams
Addiction Counselor
My daughter was the Opioid Queen in our family. Reading Shantel's words helped me understand what she went through — and finally forgive myself for not seeing it sooner.
