This is a short, easy, fast paced, enjoyable read. I particularly liked that the main character, Pablo, was not only flawed, but also introspective. It was nice to see a manly man realized that therapy is a good thing. The excitement builds up throughout the novel and is filled with suspense and tension. The way that Beaches intertwines each of the characters’ story line was simply artful. I have not read the first book in this series, but I never felt like I was missing out on anything. In fact, had I not read that in the synopsis, I would have never known that this was a series. While most read books for entertainment value, there’s a lot to be learned in this book. Bravo to Beaches on a successful book.

Pablo is fighting to come to terms with his failed love life and finds himself drawn to violence and seems to spiral uncontrollably. But, as he is very conflicted about his situation, he seeks out a psychologist to help him understand and control his urges. However, by chance he finds his actions snowballing beyond anything he intended and before long, he finds his own life in the balance.
This was a very compelling story with a great and super creative concept. I thoroughly enjoyed the cast of characters and how interwoven their realities become throughout the book. What I especially appreciate were the scenes between Pablo and his therapist. This was SO engaging, well written and left me contemplating the concepts of violence, punishment and honor. Also, just in general the dialogues were really well written and I overall enjoyed this a lot even though it is a relatively short read!
Definitively give this a read if you like fleshed out, introspective characters and a gripping plot!

My brain has been spinning in circles ever since I finished this book. This phenomenal book has all the elements of a thriller. Twists, secrets, conspiracies, sudden turns and the ability to keep you at the edge of your seat. I bet anyone in a reading rut can pick this book and would have a hard time walking away without finishing it. It is absolutely unputdownable.

He is a retired police officer, dealing with intense grief, yet he is responsible and strong willed enough to take control of his mental health by seeking therapy .

Despite the therapy, Pablo's character keeps turning towards the dark side and his conscience forces him to get into situations where violence is the only solution (according to him). After all, he has the extraordinary skills and the moral reasons behind that. But with every situation, he is compromising his safety and putting himself in danger. Throughout the story , the reader empathizes for Pablo and roots for him, while he keeps dealing with the ramifications of his own poorly made decisions.

Having a sense of purpose gives our lives meaning and direction. It provides us with a reason to strive, a sense of fulfillment, and accomplishment. When we have a clear understanding about it, we are more likely to feel motivated, engaged, and satisfied.
However, life is not always fair and there may come a point of time when we might feel like everything that we may have ever known was just a mirage, leaving us contemplating about our choices and how we can move forward, making the best use of our circumstances.
In the book, ‘Consequential Urges’ by Bruno Beaches, we see how the author has narrated a story that follows the journey of Pablo, a once-promising policeman whose life spirals out of control as he hits rock bottom after being divorced twice and has now been single for past five years.
However, after being thrust into an unpleasant situation revolving around Meiying Chan, whom he knew as Lucinda, a Chinese lady working as his masseuse, our main protagonist feels like he has finally found this link that he had been missing, thus starting a chain reaction of events unwittingly, and embarking on a quest that was filled with thrill, drama and suspense.
My Favorite Quote From the Book:
‘‘When you start to keep secrets, that’s when things start to eat you up. Voicing your truth on the other
hand is the way to recovery.’’
My Final Thoughts:
Even though the book is for entertainment purposes, it does dole out some valuable lessons which we all can learn from. Firstly, it tells us how even though there are times when we feel like simply giving up would be the easy way out, we should keep going, just like Pablo did, as there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Also, it shows us how accepting help from others can ease the burden of a task or challenge that we are facing. Different people have different experiences, knowledge, and skills, and their input can provide us with valuable insights and solutions that we may not have thought of on our own. Hence, I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The book is structured and narrated very well with a lucid and easy language to understand. Writing style is very beautiful and intriguing. Cover and Title are also very beautiful and fascinating.
This was an amazing series with a great flow to it. Instead of taking an independent story the way all series books are connected is amazing.
Highly recommended for fans of the genre

thanku to the author for sending this over to me ! 🩶
i sat and read this book in one sitting, i found the premise of the story really enticing. pablo is ex-police so knows exactly how they work which aids his new life “venture”. the text adopts the vigilante trope with pablo taking his own life frustrations out on the wrongs of society and those who have not been punished. upon starting the book i was instantly intrigued by the dedication which heralds thanks to a humanist psychologist who he had spoken to alongside writing the book in order to evoke realism into the life of pablo and his experience in therapy. this in itself shows dedication of time and thought that bruno has put into writing this book. pablo is a morally grey character with a capacity for introspection , i don’t love nor hate him, and he’s neither good nor bad - however i did feel frustrated with him at times. in terms of plot and reading experience i did feel a bit thrown when i hit chapter 5 as new names and characters were thrown in. whilst i understand characters have got to be introduced some how, i do just feel as if it was disjointed and ruined the flow that had developed by this point. then at other parts of the book i felt like as the reader i was experiencing narrative whiplash as i’m quickly moving between lenny and pablo and back; i often found myself a bit lost and confused. also felt as if certain things were just thrown in, like pablos reconciliation with a past girlfriend (i do understand pablo features in another book, so perhaps this would be more relevant given more context of his character) the book ends on a clif hanger! as things are not necessarily resolved and chaos remains. despite the issues with the plot, i did read all of this in one sitting so i was hooked; i definitely put this down to the idea of where or what the main character was going to do next as he was dishing out his own sense of justice - i kinda wish this was explored more! however, i did enjoy this read!
would be a 3.65 stars if possible !

The title 'Consequential Urges' itself tells that this one is a direct continuation from the hit bestselling novel 'Till death we do part' by Bruno Beaches. The protagonist Pablo is seen here fighting with his mental agony to overcome the grief of losing two wives. I personally loved the transformation of Pablo's character that shifts from a overall good guy to somewhat grey character when his channels his tormented mind's anger to violent activities. I also enjoyed the continuation and growth of the protagonist from the previous book. It is great to see Pablo fighting with his life and never give up. Other characters like the psychologist pablo meets to be in mental peace again is great to know. Bruno Beaches always builds the surrounding world and supporting characters so great that it seems it's happening right in front of you.
The pacing of the story is lovely with beautiful writing style. Language is good for the twisted plot building that has lots of surprises that we, thriller fans look for. Dialogues are just superb to accompany the ambience of the novel. I also enjoyed the moral teachings of the novel that provides us important messages to consider on conflicted mindset and mental peace. Actually it's the story of a man who fights against all odds to live his life and the reader flips the pages after pages to see him win. It's surely a gripping five out of five star read. I think any thriller fan would love this one for its great story line.

Consequential Urges was a book of redemption and self discovery for Pablo. I’d rate it 3.5/5 stars. Pablo is going through life still trying to recover from the trauma 2 divorces, his work as a police officers and trying to figure out what to do with his future. He has become a “curiosity to himself” and in order to solve the mystery that he is he seeks the help of a professional therapist. However, what he doesn’t tell his therapist is how he has been getting increasingly more aggressive, destructive and has become quite the vigilante! For an indie author I thought this was a nice book. I really enjoyed how Beaches used his own life experience as a police officer to make the story believable. I really was impressed that Beaches recruited the guidance of a real psychologist to get a better understanding of the therapy process and to create a realistic atmosphere between Pablo and Cynthia. I did however feel that the dialogue between many of the characters wasn’t realistic. I felt the men said “bro” and “mate” way to frequently and it took away from their conversations. I know this story was about overcoming the darkness inside of Pablo but I really enjoyed him as a dark vigilante angel! I know if justice went unanswered for my loved ones I would want to get that justice for them!

Another excellent and very thrilling book by Bruno Beaches. Pablo was such a well developed character, not only did I want to follow his frightening experiences, I also wanted to get to know him as a person. What I particularly liked about this book was how it left me questioning my own thoughts about what is morally correct. Pablo plays anti-hero. He is not some pyscho who only thinks violence, he just wants revenge on people he truly believe deserves it. On people who have hurt someone innocent. This makes you wonder: do they deserve it? Should Pablo have taken the law into his own hands?!
Of course there is underlying reasonining for his extreme anger and desires, which we find out through his counselling sessions. These were so interesting and I'm sure some people may even find them helpful to their own life.
Pablo finds himself down a dangerous path from his actions. This was so gripping to follow! I powered through the second half this evening.
The book is smart, interesting, gripping and is a proper thriller which leaves you wanting to know more. The characters are well developed and memorable. Despite some tough topics, there are also funny and witty moments too.
Overall, a great book and I highly recommend if you love thrillers but also want a lesson in life!

I had absolutely no idea that this was a series but I feel like it didn’t matter that I hadn’t read it because it didn’t impact on my experience.
I really love how this book discussed male’s mental illness, it’s a topic that I feel like isn’t discussed enough in literature and it always makes me happy to see it get the attention that it deserves.
Pablo was such a refreshing MC - I instantly liked him and wanted to know more about him. I loved how he was flawed but he wasn’t afraid to show his flaws, he was quite open about them and he did want to be a better person. I loved his relationships with Lenny and Rebecca and quite liked both of them as characters too. I also liked Harry but he wasn’t in the book as much. There were characters that I certainly wanted to know more about and I did find myself often get confused about who some of the characters were, as there was quite a lot of them.
I enjoyed the writing style. It was quite a fast paced, short read which had a lot of action going on. It was easy to picture what was going on as it unfolded in the book. There were parts that seemed a bit unbelievable for me and I wish they were expanded upon a bit more to provide closure to the book, unless there’s another book to come that addresses it?
Despite it being a brief mention, there was also derogatory language towards people with substance use disorders where they are addressed as “drug addicts”. This kind of language adds to the negative bias and stigma associated with people who have a substance use disorder. It also isn’t person first language, which is encouraged when discussing people with substance use disorders. There was also a description where a Black person was described as being “as black as the ace of spades”, which shouldn’t have been used as a descriptor as it’s racist and is so unnecessary to describe a character’s skin colour in that way. Similarly, I don’t think “not special like you, you know, special needs” should have been included either as this is ableist.

I really love how this book discussed male’s mental illness, it’s a topic that I feel like isn’t discussed enough in literature and it always makes me happy to see it get the attention that it deserves.
Pablo was such a refreshing MC - I instantly liked him and wanted to know more about him. I loved how he was flawed but he wasn’t afraid to show his flaws, he was quite open about them and he did want to be a better person. I loved his relationships with Lenny and Rebecca and quite liked both of them as characters too. I also liked Harry but he wasn’t in the book as much. There were characters that I certainly wanted to know more about and I did find myself often get confused about who some of the characters were, as there was quite a lot of them.
I enjoyed the writing style. It was quite a fast paced, short read which had a lot of action going on. It was easy to picture what was going on as it unfolded in the book. There were parts that seemed a bit unbelievable for me and I wish they were expanded upon a bit more to provide closure to the book, unless there’s another book to come that addresses it?
Despite it being a brief mention, there was also derogatory language towards people with substance use disorders where they are addressed as “drug addicts”. This kind of language adds to the negative bias and stigma associated with people who have a substance use disorder. It also isn’t person first language, which is encouraged when discussing people with substance use disorders. There was also a description where a Black person was described as being “as black as the ace of spades”, which shouldn’t have been used as a descriptor as it’s racist and is so unnecessary to describe a character’s skin colour in that way. Similarly, I don’t think “not special like you, you know, special needs” should have been included either as this is ableist.

Consequential urges
Another intriguing thriller book by Bruno Beaches. Bruno knows how to write a unique story and engage the reader flawlessly.
This novel revolves around the protagonist named pablo.
Pablo is highly dealing with all the miseries of his life, After losing his wives, suffering mentally, he is lost in his agony.In order to survive, he attempted violent acts, and it made all th difference in his life. The other characters were amazing too, Authors character building is very well as always, it is his third book i'm reading and i literally became his fan.
It was quite unexpected for me to read the protagonist's character from a good nature consisted person to a trauma filled one. He is a strong person by personality but he is conflicted within himself and seeks the help of a psychologist to control his urges. The message of the book was really an important one. After completing the entire book i was just like "WOW" What a read!!
If you are a thriller lover then consequential urges is the perfect read for you. Language was lucid, cover page was catchy, and a well written thriller read.
I highly recommend this to you all.

Firstly I would like to say the plot is well paced, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader hooked up. One thing that was absolutely attractive was the addition of a psychologist as a supporting character, made it more tempting, and along with that it highlighted the point of seeking help while struggling with mental health issues.
Pablo the Protagonist of the story still struggles for the agony of losing his two wives, but out of frustration, all of a sudden he begins to use violence. Which was something he hated and avoided for this entire life. However the law of unforeseen consequences strikes him with devastating force, he soon realised that his actions have a bitter impact that he could never ever anticipate.
The characters in the stories are powerful and flawless. Many parts were relatable as well. The suspense was built successfully by the author. The stories are written in a straightforward manner but still the language is reader friendly.
Overall consequential urges is a gripping and thought provoking novel. It's a type of thriller that will make you realise how our mind and anger plays a part in destroying our life when we are broken. I would love to recommend this to you all out there.
