Recommended to the readers who are willing to go deeper and darker. Most of them are even better than published authors. The talent that is in fanfic writing is so amazing and should be celebrated. Maddox Grey is a talented writer, I can’t believe this is not a published book. I thought the Flesh Cartel was worse, clearly, I had not read and understood worse. Not like the proverbial box that had housed my family, my memories, my life for months, but actually gone– eradicated, burned away to ash and bone, leaving a walking skeleton in his place. I had never felt so helpless, the old Brennan was gone, long gone. I admit, I am a masochist because, despite it being so painful, I wanted more. The way Brennan and His family deals with the aftermath is so much painful to read. What if you went through what he went through, will you be able to recover? Umm! Nope. It is so realistic to a point you can’t help but picture yourself as Brennan.

The Second part is the most brutal part, the aftermath of all the horror and gore. Richard entered the room a moment later– alone, and I could hear Jason yelling from behind him. I took a few steps forward, in the direction of the bed, right where Al wanted me to go. As my feet grew less and less reluctant, Al’s grip on me slackened and a plan arose from my fear-addled brain. I can’t go into details about this part, just know pure evil exist and it was here in form of Brennan’s kidnappers.Īl hauled me into the room, and I let him, my brain spitting static and white noise at me as I tried to form a plan to get out of this situation. The story is divided into two parts, the first part deals with the kidnapping and all other gross things, I can classify the first part as horror/gore, not for the faint heart.

I was rooting for him from the beginning, his journey is a heartbreaking one and interesting to read. Brennan is a hero, his strength and determination kept me going.

Let’s just say if you have watched Fatal Attraction you know this Psychos exist. The story is told in Brennan’s POV, the boy who is kidnapped by two Psychos who want to live out their twisted fantasies. The writing is so good and consistent, it is hard to believe this is fanfic. So, my lovely Sista Jan saw how miserable I was, after the disaster that was the Conflicted, and gifted me this gem, and thus we embarked on a journey of my first buddy read. The story is 800 pages, I believe it is not easy to spoil. I now fully understand, why there is a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven.īuuuuuuut… DARK SHIT is Good Shit and once I started I couldn’t stop.
