Taboo

Taboo #1-3

by Willa Okati

Twins Heath and Vanner travel the rodeo circuit together, Heath watching while Vanner does the hard riding. Heath loves to watch his twin ride, loves Vanner like no one else. He doesn't dare tell anyone, least of all Heath, about his secret love, though, knowing things could go very bad if he did, not just for the two of them, but for their mentally disabled sister Marybeth as well.

Things don't always go as planned, though, and when Vanner's sponsor starts to make demands, and Heath and Vanner find themselves in a tough spot, Heath finds a way to share what's in his heart. Just when things seem to be going their way, Heath’s friend Lucy barges in on them making love, it seems that everything is going to be exposed.

Before they can come to terms with Lucy knowing not only about their relationship, but also about their sister Marybeth, they find out that someone else knows about Marybeth, someone who isn’t a friend.

Can they rescue Marybeth without exposing themselves further?

Compilation of the Chaser series Taboo.

{mumbles}..must be something inherently disturbingly wrong with me..

Yesterday, I spent half of my Sunday going through my dust-ridden bro-cest shelves and combing Amazon samples like some classified ad junkie after I read the porno book Two Point Conversion convinced there just had to be better sh●t material than that. There isn't (wait-I take that back-fanfic wincest has some fantastically-free thought-provoking shit)

My inquisitive nature has led me down one-taboo-too-many rabbit holes in this genre (*shruggs*it happens).

So-this was as close as I could get..with a shred of something..I really enjoy this writer. But even this..I really have no f'ing clue what rabbit hole this story eventually fell down.

"3.5"
Read separately, it's kind of easy to get lost between one and the next, to remember exactly what's happening and why. Putting all three shorts in one doc and reading it as a single story helps, though honestly the part Sidney plays and his hold on the brothers - in retrospect - seems kind of flimsy. At the time it made sense, when he was threatening Heath, but by the time he comes after Vanner, and especially by the end conflict, I kept having this 'wait, WHY didn't they just find another way??' type moment.
I also kept feeling like Vanner was super-attached to Marybeth, like she was his breath and heartbeat all in one, and yet Heath hardly ever gave her a second glance. Partly I could attribute it to the characters themselves, but on the other hand I really wish it had been explained a bit more, about their history and a little more on how they came to be who they all were.

I've definitively determined that twincest is not for me.

Although to be entirely fair, Willa Okati's writing is pretty solid for epub, so since I was going to really try it, this was the book to read.

I liked this book but the writing threw me off a bit and made it hard to focus. I usually like Willa's style but this was just... different. There seemed to be a few loose ends that needed tying, too, at least in my opinion, and the ending was way too abrupt for me.

This book finished too abruptly and I was left with a lot of unanswered questions.
