The Flesh Cartel #10
False Gods
With a wedge at last driven between Mat and Dougie Carmichael, courtesy of Nikolai Petrovic’s expert manipulations, the brothers must each accept their new path Dougie, a perfect slave, sweet and obedient and loving. Mat, a tightly reined dog, snarling and snapping but never allowed to bite.Unfortunately, no transformation, however well planned, is without its growing pains. Mat’s leash is so tight it’s choking him. Dougie is tormented by a little voice inside his head — a fragment of his former self — that he cannot silence.And Nikolai’s most difficult tests for the brothers are still to come.The critical question isn’t whether they can pass those tests, but whether they even want to. Without each other to lean on and live for, a bleak future has become bleaker still. But Nikolai’s too good to let his slaves slip through his fingers — by death or by despair.A noose, a nighttime sky, a shared lover, an unexpected friend. A foreboding forest cabin. A lavish party with all the debauchery Nikolai’s clientele could want. It’s all coming in season 3 of the Flesh Cartel.Reader discretion advised.

He Won! NIKOLAI WON!
Lyn that hope,was false hope!
I thought book 1 was bad, this is the worst.
Master knows best. Master knows best. Master knows best.
Dougie/Douglas has been reduced to nothing! He is now even comfortable being treated like a dog. He barks. He is so broken, the guy will need year and years of therapy.
Douglas!
Nikolai got what he wanted he finally did it!
Ugh! I want to Kill Nikolai and Roger and Dougie/ Douglas Petrovic now.
Mat! Is my favorite hero. He took everything that the threw at him, and after all this he still loves his brother, I mean how? The guy must have a really good heart.
It’s not him, it’s not him, he’s not my brother anymore, he’s not my Dougie, he’s not the kid brother who followed me on my runs, he’s not the brother I bought beer for, he’s not the brother whose knees I put Band-Aids on, he’s not, he’s sick, he’s sick, he’s sick, he’s trapped somewhere inside his body and this isn’t his fault and I’m going to find the real him in there and save him but not yet, not tonight, tonight he’s gone, he’s sleeping, he’s gone and he’s not my brother and the faster I come, the faster this ends; he can’t rape us on a soft cock.
Did i mention how this is the worst of them all?

This book really hurt… as in ugly tears and crying my heart out kind of pain. I hate Nikolai, no, in fact there are no words to describe what I feel about that man… oh, he’s clever, he has yet again proved he is the master manipulator, but, dear God… I am BROKEN, I feel sick and I hurt. Nikolai has destroyed me and the boys. What hurts the most is Dougie, he is unrecognisable from the boy we first met in episode #1, all his hopes and dreams for a future have been destroyed, along with his love for Mat. What transpires in this book absolutely cut me to the quick and totally ripped my heart out and I now fear there is no return for sweet Dougie, he is nothing but a minion, blindly following in his Masters footsteps. And now Nikolai is also abandoning him, turning him over to a man that seems if possible, more fucked up than Nikolai, although I have a feeling his area of expertise will not be the mind games we have been used to but rather a brand of kink that will involve more abuse, torture and depravity with Mat being his main focus.
It’s strange really, because I have been so angry at this series, with blood vessels fit to burst… and now I feel like I am in mourning, physically grieving for the Dougie that was and finding it hard to pity or even like the Douglas that he has become and my heart bleeds for Mat who now has no one and nothing left to live for apart from the responsibility he still feels towards a Brother that he also no longer recognises and who has nothing but contempt for him.
Bring it on ladies… it doesn’t get any worse than this!!!

Ya con el cambio tan dramático en la personalidad de Doguie, se acerca el momento de que Nikolai entregue a Mat a su comprador original, pero sabe que no puede dominarlo, solo Doguie puede. Así que tiene que convencer al comprador que le pagué por ambos esclavos. Será capaz de conseguirlo?
Después de las torturas tan fuertes que sometieron a Doguie, no puedo creer que Mat no quiera matarlos a todos, o que el cambio de Doguie sea tan drástico. Pero al ser el último libro de esta "temporada" me imagino que el autor quería cerrar un ciclo.
Ahora veremos cómo se desarrollan con su nuevo dueño, y como lograrán liberarse. Seguros leyendo.

I am absolutely shocked...
And I'm not talking about the usual rape, torture and violence in this one. It's the complete hopelessness here.
I'm absolutely speechless by the lack of any kinds of boundaries in this story. There is absolutely NOTHING that is sacred here.
And Mat's emotions are so clear and raw that it makes reading on feel like walking on glass shards.
Sure, that's what great fiction shall be able to spark, but this story takes things a great deal too far...
Alone.
Despite Dougie’s presence—or maybe even because of it—for the first time in his life, Mat was completely, terrifyingly alone.
I feel absolutely down and sad after finishing this...
5 stars! (not the usual 5 feel good stars, but 5 stars for amazing fiction. Period.)

WARNINGS: RAPE, FORCED INCEST, WATER SPORTS, VIOLENCE.
I really wish this had been 1 to 3 books instead of all of these little chapter type reads. They all would have been 5 star reads if it had been presented that way. There have been so many of these that seemed repetitive. As a reader, I do not become emotionally involved with Matt and Dougie anymore. I have become less interested in the things between page 1 and the end. I just want to see if anything different is going to happen. I doubt that is what these two authors have worked so hard to create. The shock value is long gone now.

OH-MY-GOD!!! It's 3.30 am and I just COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!
Wicked, crazy, twisted, gritty and F**KED UP like hell!
One of the best parts since the beginning... 5 HUGE STARS!!!
Both Mat and Dougie must face the consequences of their...
Now Dougie is entirely lost, totally brainwashed into being a "bad dog" and then transforming into the most perfect, pliant, obedient and lusting-after-Nikolai "good boy" ... :(
And I can't admire Mat more!!! He's such a... I don't even have suitable words to describe him... He's still fierce and still protective over Dougie. I know that perceiving him as a "good man" is not enough, not proper. He's full of rage and burns for revenge and still he's so good in his heart. He still can't consciously hurt Dougie. Even after the worst of the bad things happens to him from the brother who doesn't even acknowledge him anymore :(
"Dougie glared back. Mat took Dougie’s anger like he took everything else: silent and stoic, right on the chin. Swallowed hard and said, “I love you, Dougie. No matter what. Never forget that.” "
"“Fuck you,” Dougie—no, Douglas—growled. “My name’s not Dougie anymore, it’s Douglas, and I don’t belong to you anymore, and you don’t get to talk to me that way.” "
So, it's official, guys, I'm team Mat forever! He's one of the BEST MCs ever!
Even if this part of his stay in the clutches of Nikolai and the Flesh Cartel almost shattered him entirely... :(
"All three smiles didn’t reach their eyes. All three of them with their secrets, all three of them entangled in this mysterious power play, this twisted fucking bond of blood and cum and pain, with Mat the unwilling victim at its center, bearing the brunt of it all.
Alone.
Despite Dougie’s presence—or maybe even because of it—for the first time in his life, Mat was completely, terrifyingly alone."

By far the most disturbing episode yet. Won't even say anything to avoid spoilers, but something has to give really soon here.
That being said, I can't wait to see what awaits the brothers next. I am still holding out hope that Mat will come through, but not sure he can get over blaming himself for what has happened with his brother. I'm not sure what the future can possibly hold forDougie Douglas at this point, but I hate that I am now thinking

'On for fuck's sake. It was like he had a fucking sign on his forehead or something: "Dougie's Whipping Boy."
Not that he wasn't willing.
He just didn't understand why anyone needed to whip anyone at all.'

Behold the consequences of your choices.
After the cliffhanger we were left with in book #9 we once pick up exactly where we left off with Mat, but that doesn’t last long. We find out who is driving the car and when I read that my stomach dropped. Of course…how can I possibly keep wanting and hoping that the boys would be okay? I mean, they are okay to a point if you believe that and there are times I do. I can’t help myself. But boys. But Dougie. Douglas, what is in store for you? I am as confused and unsure as you are.
Questioning, that’s what had brought him here in the first place, questions and doubts cracking away at his safety and certainty and what had it gotten him?
Clarity. Distance. Perspective. What the fuck was he supposed to do with perspective in a locked fucking car or a locked fucking room in a locked fucking house in the middle of nowhere with a master who wouldn’t let him keep it?
With that I am back to wanting this boys to get the hell out of there. Will they ever be free? I will admit to still having my crush on Nikolai, he is the master manipulator after all, but come on! Oh goodness the pain is one thing I can handle the pain for the boys but the, let’s say thirst is what I can’t… I just can’t. It’s too much but at the same time I get it.
Mat. I have told you I like your brother more than you but, dude? You tried and you forgot for a minute but it’s all for Dougie. You do it all for him every time but what will become of you? I have asked this before but you have endured so much pain; strapped to that metal chair and then…I’m so sorry.
Nikolai, why do I like you so damn much? I shouldn’t but there is something about you that even amongst the pain and manipulation you force on others there is this side of you that I can’t look away from. It’s that side that sadly keeps giving me hope even when you make these boys, these brothers do unspeakable things to each other. I know your story, I know what you are and what you can do but I can’t help the way I feel.
Entangled in this mysterious power play, this twisted fucking bond of blood and cum and pain. What sick kind of fuckery inspired people to cheer for forced incest?
I knew this episode would be a tough read. I got too comfortable and I know better. This was right up there with episode 6 and my wanting it to just be over. Actually, this episode has taken this series to a whole new level, it is well beyond anything I ever thought I could or would read. I was at the edge of not wanting to read what was happening and not sure if I could take what was coming next. But who am I kidding? I am a trained slave just like Douglas is and Mat attempts to be. I am a good girl who keeps buying and keeps reading no matter how tough it is. I will suffer the pain, the nausea and the hopeless desire that this will end, bad or good. It will end. I will have made it through. I hope.

Holy sh!t! Uhm... No. This time Haimowitz took it a little too far. My eyes hurt and I wish to forget some part of the story. When I started the series I was afraid that author might go "there", but by the 7th installment I finally relaxed and thought "it" will not happen. Guess what? God, I really don't know where they gonna go from here. That's it, the damage is done :-(.
I didn't hate the book, but some part were just a little bit too gross and too disturbing for me. The story was disturbing enough as it was, in my opinion there was no need to take it that far.

I don't think I have ever hated a fictional character more than Douglas Carmichael. I don't know if he can ever be redeemed for me now. He sure doesn't deserve Mat's loyalty.

I am sure that the writing for this short story was as good as it has always been, but I can't rate this one as high. The chapter by chapter release of this has just started to annoy me. I feel that it is slowing the pace down, and I have started to just not care what happens anymore.
The focus has always been mostly on Dougie, and I don't find him anywhere as interesting as I do his brother Mathias. I also feel that the story is becoming a bit repetitive.
If this had been released as one or two complete novels that I could of just sat down and read, I would of enjoyed it so much more. With the gaps in between chapters, I find that my interest is slowly draining away.

September 24, 2013This is it. I'm done. This is the craziest shit I've ever read and I will never, EVER recommend this to anyone. Not even my worst of enemies deserves this.
I want Nikolai's internal organs ripped piece by piece until nothing is left of him. I want him to suffer so badly, so throughly until he understands what pain is. Although I'm sure he's just as mindfucked as Dougie is.
Dougie? Yeah, I want him DEAD. I don't even fucking care about that SoB, that ungrateful idiot who doesn't have a brain of his own. Now I get it: he never had a personality, he just follows around like a dog whomever has a leash on him. First Mat, then Nikolai, who knows who's next?
And Mat is just as miserable as I am, poor thing. I want to hold him and tell him that everything is alright. I've never seen a more likable character than him in many m/m I've read. He's such a good and strong man that it brings tears to my eyes. I'M AFRAID THAT MAYBE THE WRITTERS ARE GOING TO CHANGE HIM, MAKE HIS A FUCKING IDIOT SLAVE. Then I think I'd be really angry.
Not that I'm not angry now, don't get me wrong. Incest can be one of these: either a fantasy, in which both brothers like each other (or not, a little non con can be nice) or a brutal, crazy and stomach upsetting read. Last time I tried the second one was when I read a yaoi (TetsuXRika) and it was bad enough. This is worse. The pain that Mat experiences is so deep that I couldn't sleep last night. See, I couldn't make my mind understand if and how can people so bad exist. So low and degraded. So inhuman.
If art is a shock, I'd rather be unhappy for all my life. I'm coming back only to read the ending, which seems rather stupid btw (fbi agent? really? what they need is God coming to earth and unleash his wrath towards these people).

Many of the reviews say this is probably the most disturbing episode yet. And in a way it was. But maybe because I've read the episodes 1 to 10 in a row in the span of 3 days, it felt just like all the rest. Granted, more painful, but I grew accustomed to that. No big. I'm used to crying desperately when I can't stand it anymore.
My mind, my soul are a mess.
It hurts me to say, but I really don't care aboutDougie Douglas anymore. He can go and live the rest of his life under Nikolai's "love" for all I care. I wish he'd left Madame kill Mat, though. I'd love Mat to have that relief, because so far, I don't see how he can be whole ever again. And free.
And what pains me most is that Nikolai succeeded in making Dougie just like his abusers from the cabin. Eager to get back at those he considers bellow him in this sick food chain. Nothing like Roger in him. I think that given the chance, he would one day become just as good a master/trainer as the one who broke him so thoroughly. Which just makes me sick to my stomach. Because all of those decisions were made while fully lucid and aware of everything around him. And all of it started with his choosing the metal plug at the auction. No. It all started with Dougie begging Mat to "clean him up" after his rape in the van. Even then there were traces of what he's become now.

PhD in Psychology? More like PhD in getting manipulated.
My main gripe with this story is that Dougie gets brainwashed to the point where it doesn't make sense to me. As someone who has loved looked up to his one and only family all his life, how can he turn on Mat that quickly without waiting for his explanation?
Furthermore, he is painstakingly dumb for a PhD student. How does he not even suspect that Nikolai has been setting up so many of the things he did to brainwash him? As a Psychology major, I would have expected him to leverage his knowledge as a weapon, but that didn't seem to even come out at all.
I really would have enjoyed the story much more if they made Dougie's character much more compelling, but the way he is developed, it just irks me personally too much..

I don't know how to rate this book!!! I fucking hate it ....i keep telling my self that everything is going to be ok , i must not lose hope, something good eventually should happen ... But hell no!!!! apparently the author thinks that we don't deserve such mercy!!The brothers reached a point of no return there is noway there is such thing as a happy ending here :( ... I'm so freaking TERRIFIED of the next book ~_~ . It's like watching a train wreck and you are suppose to just stand there and fucking watch!!!!!! .... Oh god ! my heart is crushed to pieces right now :( :'( !!

More sick, twisted and horrifying debauchery mindfuckedness in this episode. End of another season, and the story seems to be moving on. The road was, of course, never easy, but they boys have finally managed to convince the buyer that he wants them both.
As bad as Nikolai is, I'm not sure I'm ready for Allen, yet I cannot wait to see where this is going.
December 2, 2015
Oh my god ... this is by far the most painful, cruel and heartbreaking part of the series so far. The situations the brothers are in is getting worse and worse and every little hope is shattered. The party setting made shudder and I didn't know what I should be hoping for. Dougie is finally losing his mind and the ending is dark and leaves no room for any hope. How will all this end?

1/5
I would give it negative rating if I can, but I'll make do with a one for now.
This review is for book 4 to book 10.
Continuing this series had been a mistake, for a start I was hoping that under Nikolai control there now would be something fresh. Sadly it's still same old rape and beating, even with the introduction of mind game - which could have been interesting has it not being so bloody predictable. There are so many time you can see a rape screen before it looses its impact.
The characters are just as flat as the plot. The only interesting character is Mat, who sadly has far too few screen time. Though I was a little bit disappointed at him when Most of the time the series focus on brainwashing of Dougie which were just as mind-numbingly boring as Dougie himself. Soon I just started skipping through his parts, not that there were much to miss. In fact, half of the rape screen could have just been briefed anyway considering they are all so similar, and the whole series would have just summed up nicely in a book or two.
I guess this is the end for me. I won't torture myself any further, though I might read the last book just for some closure.
I would give it negative rating if I can, but I'll make do with a one for now.

The characters are just as flat as the plot. The only interesting character is Mat, who sadly has far too few screen time. Though I was a little bit disappointed at him when Most of the time the series focus on brainwashing of Dougie which were just as mind-numbingly boring as Dougie himself. Soon I just started skipping through his parts, not that there were much to miss. In fact, half of the rape screen could have just been briefed anyway considering they are all so similar, and the whole series would have just summed up nicely in a book or two.
I guess this is the end for me. I won't torture myself any further, though I might read the last book just for some closure.

While I gather my thoughts..
Ok I'm ready
Poor Dougie and Mat..
I know it sounds wrong to love this series, all the pain and suffering these guys go through but Hell...their story is so addictive.
Just when you think something good is going to happen, the story takes a new twist.
Yes it says it all....

Ok, so really there is no f***** way to review this book - it's just like a trainwreck that happens before your eyes and it's so horrible that you can't look away even though you know nothing good can come of this.
I just really feel like the athrocities have made the brothers come to a point of no return - there can be no happily ever after now, it's just not possible for Mat to be healed of his PTSD by some FBI nice goody two shoes twink come to reascue him. I feel at least he has to have some revenge after this, and it better be Kill Bill style.....
And Dougie, well I don't know if he can ever be free again, how can he ever forgive himself if he were to come to his senses? Maybe he needs to stay in the BDSM lifestyle, but with some sane Master? Not sure, really.
But there is no way he should be forced to be accountable for his own actions and survive psychologically.
Oh, and I f**** hate Petrovic!!!!
