If you're into the fluffier side of life, you have my blessing but will you please take the next exit. For the rest of you depraved pervs, enjoy your stay ;)
There is blood in my hand.........from my own nails........
Okeeeh this is going to be a chaos review. Because my head is chaos. I could wait to write a review but.... it's from my heart...
Mostly I'm kind and very empath, but now I want to throw chairs and knives. Ohhh I felt the rage and the hurt .....Jason's rage and Colton's hurt (not really because.....Jesus Christ who invents such a painful story..... O wait ....Kol does.........f*cker) (LOL love you Kol ❤️) and I was with Jason. Omg I would help him with his revenge. I'm so a people lover but this made me devilish. My knuckles are white from squeezing.
Horrifying that's what this is. A nightmare. Fucking hell, all known curses coming out of my mouth. All my redhead fire comes out. And I love it!
Breath in and breath out. I just have to remind myself because now and then I'm holding my breath.
The suspense was KILLING The writing exceptionally good. Absolutely above average style. The story..... just buy and read it yourself because no way I can explain how I loved this book. How the story developed..... Crazy good. The healing Colton's healing.... was devastating. No way he could overcome this. There is a lot of thinking and overthinking and I was happy with that. So much had happened....so much Sometimes I had such a indefinable feeling that Jason would fuck up everything, but his mind is determined and I love him for that. At 82% I was at this point: fuck fuck fuckerthefuck
All the struggle from their pov, amazing put on paper. Strong strong story.
I'm exhausted completely demolished and I love it. Don't misunderstand me this is an absolute #mustread. But phalease read the tags for your own sanity.
"I think I had died and this was hell"
"Undying Interminable Love"
(To put this on Amazon I have to censor all the curses LOL)
You Mr Anderson are a genious......Senseless 2 really did blow me away.....I've waited to find out what Happens to Colton and he sure goes through it again in this book....Jason as usual is his tough self trying to save his brother but does he go a bit too far or does Colton finally throw off the weakness he feels and stand up for himself.....There's one person in this book who i hated in the first one and I was right....What he does to Colton made me want to scream....Colton and Jason really should have hurt him.....Family sucks sometimes.....I read this so quick am gonna have to definitely read it again to see if I missed anything....Amazing finish to the series x
If anyone has read Senseless 1, which you absolutely must do prior to reading this installment, you have been on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens next. When we were forced to leave Colton in the last book, he was on the run after having narrowly escaped his captors. Luckily, this story picks up right where that left off. It felt like I had been holding my breath and just let out a big gasp as we find ourselves in the rainy woods, battered and almost broken but still trying to run.
Colton isn’t done yet, but unfortunately neither are his captors. There is eventually a rescue and Colton trying to put the pieces of himself back together while Jason tries his best to make that happen. There are a few more twists and turns as things play out, revenge takes over, more lines are crossed, and through it all, these guys are trying to get a hold of things mentally. There are so many things still standing in their way of any kind of happiness though. Will Jason get over his guilt or his need for revenge and vigilante justice? Will Colton ever be the same? Will his feelings change for Jason as a result of his actions? Who can they trust when so many have betrayed them? And will those that do feel the same when they know the truth about their relationship? Will they ever escape the life that was thrust upon them? So many questions, but thankfully we get the answers to most, if not all, of those as the story plays out.
Once again, Kol gives us a story that is dark and depraved but has you rooting for the players involved. You can never allow yourself to get too comfortable with how things are going, because he will change directions and throw you for a loop every time, yet leave you satisfied after you have completed the ride. They are never a disappointment, and if you can handle things a bit on the darker side, I highly recommend you give any of Kol’s books a try.
Leave it to Kol to completely switch things up whilst leaving the reader with their heart in their mouth and feeling like they have been put through the wringer!
Although the wait for this book nearly killed me when it came it was a treat I was afraid to open. I had thought the story was coming in 3 books so to find out the ending was sat on my kindle in book 2 was exhilarating and terrifying – I left it sat there for 2 days too scared to find out what happened!
You cannot read this book if you haven’t read the first one – It just will not work. At the end of book 1 Colton had just escaped his kidnappers but was so beaten and tortured it looked unlikely he would get far. Jason is slowly losing him mind worrying about his brother and making exacting plans for revenge. Senseless 2 drops you right back in the thick of things as Colton is finally rescued – but it’s a close call and his life hangs in the balance.
It’s hard to see where this story will go. Colton is so damaged. The police are hounding him for information on his captors. His uncle is hanging around menacingly in the background. Jason, poor Jason, not always likeable but so in love with his brother that he doesn’t know what to do and his whole mind is stuck on revenge.
As the story plays out and the reader gets their answers there is a subtle shift in behaviours – and that my friends is how Kol keeps us on our toes and gives us a perfect ending every time!
Kol Anderson has a way of delivering a dark story; reminds me of a splinter caught under my skin. Know the quickest way to get rid of the damn thing is to yank it out, even though there will be pain. And as painful as it is, there's a satisfying sense of relief when it's removed. Anderson's stories slam me in the chest, compel me to dig in and devour them quickly, wallow in the pain, and breathe a sigh of relief when I'm done. And yet I find myself wanting more story......there most certainly isn't an HEA, more like an "as happy as can be expected under the f*cked up circumstances". Wonder what it says about me that I want to read more of this author's available books? Well, hell, I never claimed to be beacon of light or normality....... ;)
It's strange that I don't even focus on the whole brother thing. Just the love these two share. Colton, I have no idea how he has the strength to keep going, both him and Jason have dealt with pure hate, torture, betrayal, cruelty, sick twisted evil....Colton has endured. Jason has to deal with his own guilt. But the love they have for each other gives them the strength to keep hanging on. If anyone deserves revenge it's these two. Amazing story!!!! OMG JUST FANTASTIC AND IM HOPING FOR MORE Wow wow wow
That was a rather interesting twist and turn of events in comparison to the first book. I really enjoyed this final book a little more. Kudos to the author.
To say I was desperate for Senseless 2 would be an understatem. Kol Anderson gets his kicks leaving us hanging by an emotional thread and that's why we all love the evil genius, Senseless 2 won't disappoint.
I needed to know the end, but on the other hand I never wanted it to finish. Senseless and Senseless 2 will take you on a journey that is not only harrowing and painful, but also full of love. Just as you get your bearings Kol *Drops the Mic* and walks away with the words The End.
Leadership is more powerful than family or friends.
Revenge always seems so important when all you can think about is who and how you were wronged and how you can get the pay back plan to destroy the enemy and give you their power.
Yet revenge warps minds and plays with emotions in strange ways until everything and everyone are so twisted in schemes and dreams that nothing else matters. When living or dying no longer matters, does anything?
Jason and Colton discover how important they are to each other and Colton becomes a true leader based on brains, experience, and love for Jason.
Wow! That was a roller coaster if I've ever seen one.
I just finished the book and I'm still a bit dizzy. It was heart-warming and insane, sweet and romantic but packed with action, light and tender and then dark and soul crushing.
It was heaven, then hell, then heaven again, then the worst of hells, then a bit better and almost heaven, then back to the fire pit and so forth. An amazing experience, all in all.
One of the darkest I've read in a while (and I chase dark), so definitely not for the faint-hearted, but well written and and carefully balanced with lighter moments, so your heart doesn't burst.
I think the key word here is "unexpected". Whether you're pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised, the truth is, you got to admit it, you did not see that coming. Well, some of it you might have...
So if dark, thrilling and surprising is your go-to, then this book is a must.
The book is not perfect. There is stuff that doesn't fit, events or behavior that didn't quite add up or perhaps just needed a bit more explaining (like having an entire room torn to pieces while Jason was in his bed sleeping - with no security around - and did not hear a thing, or involving the police in the kidnapping and then keeping them in the dark, or waiting and seemingly doing nothing to rescue Colton although apparently he knew who had him and suspected where, when he had hard proof that every second he waited meant one more second of excruciating pain for his brother).
However, there are two main reasons for the missing star: one is that I was a tiny bit disappointed with Jason's reaction to the news of his brother's kidnapping, or rather to the videos of his brutal torture. Ok, he's a tough guy, but seeing that should have gotten more emotion from him. There were other parts where his feelings were so skilfully described that I felt a knot in my chest, yet this incredibly dramatic moment felt a bit... removed, cold. So there's that.
And the other reason is the inconsistencies throughout the book. Math may not be my strong point but I did pause a few times to count on my fingers: in the first couple of chapters (Jason's POV) we learn that the brothers' parents died when Jason was 18 and Colton "barely 10". Then in the next chapter, we find that when Colton was 12, he was found by his parents after a self-harm episode. Then we are told of an experience the brothers had when Colton was 14 while their (apparently not so dead?) parents were at a party or away for the weekend. (raises one eyebrow). And, the tip of the iceberg, a few chapters later, we are told how a 6 year old Jason had enjoyed a vacation at some cottage with his brother who, according to my calculations had to be around... minus 2!
Anyway, tiny spelling mishaps and the age thing aside, the book was really good. I especially appreciated how it ended, practically mid-action, and how it did not have one of those "X years later" epilogues that are supposed to give you some sort of closure and tie up loose ends, but instead (in most cases anyway) all they do is break the rhythm of the story and alienate you from the characters.
I should probably specify that the review is for both books, not only for Book 2, because, as I see it, they are not two books, it's actually one split into two volumes. There's no way the end of book one could be interpreted as a cliffhanger, it's a to be continued...
I waited anxiously for this second book and was surprised the turns that it took. I must say the author pulled me so into this story that I lost all track of time. I was surprised with the ending and the carp Colton went through with the uncle. For some reason I was expecting Jason to turn out to be Dave's son, but that didn't happen. I enjoyed these two books and the journey that this couple took.
Not sure this story lived up to my expectations. All this twists and turns and every single person wanting Colton. The brother, the uncle, the brother's friend, the thugs. Oh my God why! So what did Jason really do to avenge his brother? He goes and does the brother of the bad guy who happened to be conveniently gay? And who was that Colton at the end? Not the one we've seen until then. It was just confusing and disappointing. The chemistry from the last book completely forgotten.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the second in the Senseless series. It ties up the story nicely. Only one thing I would have done a bit differently. Maybe I'm a sadist...but I would have loved to see those guys getting a bit more of what they deserved. I think they got off too easily.
This one totally goes off the rails after book 1. I like dark books, but this is just ridiculous. Bad writing that feels like some terrible soap opera. Nothing interesting here at all.
Rating: 1/5 - If there’s one thing I’m certain of - it’s that this author knows nothing about sexual abuse.
What revenge? WHAT F REVENGE!!!! This was total trash!
WTF is wrong with Jason! Colton suddenly being okay with sex after almost dying multiple times due to sadistic torturous sexual abuse and his brother pushing him to have a threesome with the pool boy????
What is life at this point?
It only gets worse with the whiplash and poor writing. Jason apparently dies because Colton confronts Jason whilst he’s busy revealing the incest between Devyn and his half brother after he also seduces and has sadistic rape sex with said half-brother.
This confrontation was ridiculous from the time that dodgy policeman came on the scene. Especially because it was revealed that Ash or Logan (can’t remember) was a police officer themselves! Like HELLO DUMBASS!!!!
The dialogue wasn’t even convincing between anyone in this book.
I’m also unsure why Colton wasn’t upset about being excluded in dishing out the torture on his abusers but was suddenly like “leave it behind”. Like a whiny OOC.
The whole pot filled with more shit with the whole Dave backstabbing everyone? I mean they don’t explain anything about anything? Animosity from uncle Dave coz he had the hots for his sister-in-law. Why did he dislike Colton??? I’m yet to understand.
It appears that Colton was literally written to be used by everyone. Poor 1D character felt like cannon fodder the whole time. You know who stood out as a main character! Damn Grey! Even Nate and Gary were more MC like than the actual main characters! How bad must your story be to make your MCs look like cannon fodder.
The most ridiculous characters to ever be written. The most ridiculous story! I need to wash my eyes with bleach and ask MIB to erase my memory.
Not so much 'did not finish' as 'did not even start.' A lesson learned on not scooping up a 'promising series' before even reading a sample of the first book. I hated the first one so much I couldn't even finish it, and it's been years so there's no hope of a refund at this point. And no chance I'll ever torture myself with reading the rest of it and then the sequel.
Utter garbage and the story line is a mess. The plot twists make no sense are convenient plot devices. I’ll remember the time i wasted reading Rhiannan shit
Not sure what I was expecting from this one but it sure wasn't a bad execution. It is a let down after the first book. The beginning on this one was great, I thought it was headed to a revenge type of story with trauma recovery on the side. How is it that in the first half of the book, Colton is suddenly okay with a . It just doesn't make sense, and if there is one thing I cannot stand is that. The whole was rushed as well, the side plot about felt stupid, as well as the . It is a pity, because the writting style was nice and it is one of the very few times that I like the first pov narration. Anyway, if there is one good aspect of it is that it is entertaining and I couldn't stop until I was done.
Ugh this was such a great follow up to the first book.
The emotions and twists and ups and downs in here blew my mind.
I was waiting for the Kol Anderson penny to drop and boy did it EVERRRR
I loved the heartbreaking dialogue and the masterful descriptions and the happy and sad parts in this book. If you have anyyy experience with a Kol Anderson book you know exactly what I'm talking about.
This taboo story became even more taboo as brotherly love was explored and taken to a whole new level.
Thank you for this beautiful book and the characters that will stay with me forever.
Well....time to take a deep breath, and have a cuppa, phew. A roller-coaster ride of emotions, a 'will they, won't they' [escape or even live] theme throughout the whole story, and no...you must be joking, I'm not telling you what happens, read it for yourself!! And don't forget that old saying...you can't choose your relatives, but you can choose your friends. Badass Colton and his brother Jason **high fives** 4 stars from me.
