This review is for Clutch, but I'm giving you my thoughts for the whole series, because I have to. I lived and breathed this series within a few days. I'd label this as grey romance. Some dark scenes, may contain triggers for some.
Explosive ride from start to finish. This journey was filled with broken- unforgettable characters, suspense, action, and angst.
Clutch is the final book in The Redline Series, they all need to be read in order. It's a dark start with everything in between. I hope I can do Skye Callahan justice with this review. I absolutely loved this series, it literally took over my life, when I wasn't reading I was thinking about reading, getting back to Colt and Aubrey. So many things that made this series a hit for me. I'll try to convey my love and why it's a favorite for me.
"Nowhere to run. And an entire family of criminals waiting to kill us all."
The story is about sibling rivalry, revenge, and a girl in the middle. I was completely hooked, the beginning shows the depths one will go to seek revenge. All the while you are hanging on for dear life wondering what caused a rift so dark between two brothers. Ruthlessness it was. The middle had me heart-broken, shattered. We find out the devastation and what led Colt to destruction. This could be a trigger for some, I read dark books all the time, but drug use hits me hard. I was in shambles, clutching my kindle hoping there was light at the end of the tunnel. My heart was in my throat for the last few books. Each book felt like another episode, I was attached, I needed the next one like I needed air. The series is told like a mini series on cable TV, and I wanted another season, that's how much I loved it. I was afraid to open Clutch, I knew it was the last book, do I end this epic journey or pretend this isn't the end?
“Devlin wanted to push us both over the edge. In some ways, he succeeded, but it seems that over that edge, we both found our wings as we struggled to fix each other before we hit the bottom of the gorge.”
I have to talk about the characters. Devlin- The Villain. Yes, he was in all ways dark, disturbing, lacked a soul. I equally loved and hated him. I'm usually all for the bad guys, but I wanted him to burn in HELL. Colt was pure silk and devastation, unapologetic, and bad boy down to the bones. <-- In love. totally in love. Omg. There was a glimmer of heart slowing seeping out, but he always stayed true to his character. You weren't getting hearts and flowers, if that's what you expected then you haven't been reading the same books as me. Aubrey, spit fire, strong, yet needed a bond that only Colt could provide. Could these two find peace? Or were they all destined to burn?
My heart was racing while writing this review. This was unforgettable, full of tension and longing. I'm putting this series on my favorites list. If you love suspense and action, broken yet loveable characters, and a storyline full of angst. READ THIS!!!

I loved this book couldn't put it down. After the gun shot colt is face to face with wilson who had just shot his step father. When Colt wakes up after Wilson knocks him out he goes looking for Aubrey to make sure she's alright. Colt makes Aubrey leave his apartment before the police get there. Colt makes a decision that he never thought he would do. When Colt meets up with Devlin at his building that is being worked on he becomes very nervous. Devlin takes Colt on a tour and when they get to the basement he opens the refrigerator door and Colt can't believes what he sees. When gun fire erupts from above Devlin and Colt run and try to hide, but when they are found more gun fire this time by Devlin trying to kill Colt. When Colt is the only surviver he realises that Aubrey is in trouble, but when Aubrey gets a text from Colt she has little time to think when she sees someone out side her brothers place.

After the way Exhaust ended, I couldn’t not delay diving straight into this one even knowing it is the last book in this series… I didn’t want it to end! I absolutely loved going on Aubrey and Colt’s journey with them. I felt this one had a little more humour between these characters, which I just loved, along with the usual darkness found in this series in the beginning. There was still a lot of action along with heart stopping and sobbing moments… I mean Colt towards the end?! My heart! I loved seeing him with someone so tiny and delicate and bringing out that protective side in full force was something to love. So sad to see this series end but I loved every addicting minute of it, a definite recommendation to everyone who loves dark, hot and suspenseful romances.

Dark and yummy series

Good series. Not great. I liked it but it wasn't anything super standout in my opinion. Still worth checking out. It's entertaining :)

Yep the final book was pretty predictable and ended pretty much how you think it is going to. Overall the series was okay but I just found myself not connecting and wishing it was over. I wanted to like and I soldiered through all of the books because I had preordered them.

The whole series has been fantastic and the conclusion didn't disappoint.
Would Colt finally overcome his family so he could maybe look to build a future family with Aubrey? Would they get their happily ever after or their version of one, a little twisted and a whole lot sadistic.
Colt and Aubrey realise they're two broken souls, want, crave and need each other but both are too stubborn to admit it.
While Colt attempts to bring down his family for the last time will he succeed when he make's a deal with the devil himself,Devlin. Colt is a loveable asshole while Devlin is evil and while I usually like evil but I couldn't begin to even like Devlin a little, Colt was everything you love in a bad boy.
Aubrey is longing to deal with her feeling's towards a life possibly with or without Colt,She is determined to make Colt a part of her life as she feels he's the only person to understand,need and fight with her.
I did love Colt and Aubrey together,they were a perfect match. I loved how Colt stayed true to himself in many ways but changed some aspects of his life for her. Aubrey, while at time's seemed close to a melt down held it together and knew exactly what she needed - Colt, even after everything.
Clutch, for me was about both Colt and Aubrey clutching for a future whether together, apart or no longer breathing. I hate getting to the end of a series I love because I don't want it to end.
The series has been the most unexpected thrilling ride, I can't wait to read more of Skye Callahan's work, this series won't disappoint if you can look past the possible triggers. I'd also urge you to read the series in order because it's amazing.

What's your poison,
I read the whole series in two days. When I first started this series I thought it was just going to be your basic dark story . I was wrong . Colt and Aubrey were well written. All the things that molded them into who they were, just hit me in ways, that emotionally, I wasn't prepared for . Colt ' s battle with his addiction and the things that defined the man and his actions. Audrey 's inability to see past the glitter and her choices to prefer the fairy tale. For her it seemed easier to see only what she wanted, to hide behind beliefs that make the world seen kinder. A gripping romance, filled with deception, duty, and revenge. Definitely not for the faint of heart . I would have given a higher rating, the depth of the characters and the story's ability to draw you in was excellent , but there were many grammatical and scene errors .

A really good conclusion to Aubrey and Colts story. Full of ups and downs, countless twists and turns, this book will grab you and not let go.
From the first page I was hooked. With characters you love to hate, just plain love and some you just plain hate this book will keep you wondering what's going to happen next.

Wow what an ending to an awesome series! I couldn't believe all the things that happened to Aubrey and Colt. I felt bad for what happened to Jace. Colt turned out to be not such a bad guy and Aubrey was able to overcome the things that happened to her and be a family with Colt. Great book!

Intense
This series is very intense and raw. Unlike anything I have ever read. Not the usually lovey mushy crap. Lots of heartache and blood pumping action. A must read the whole way through. Glad I read it once it was all published. I would have died with a cliff hanger.
