Orphaned brothers Mat and Dougie Carmichael are trying to
move ahead in their lives. Mat is a MMA fighter who always wants to win since
he uses that prize money to pay for Dougie’s college books, tuition and more.
Life was moving on until the night Dougie gets home and finds himself in the
middle of a nightmare even as Mat tries to save his little brother. Mat and
Dougie are about to find out what and who kidnapped them even as pain, rape and
more fill their days. The only thing keeping them both sane is the bond between
brothers and the love they share for one another.
Let me state right from the beginning this is a brutal,
brutal book. This is a serial story so there is no romance, happy ever after or
anything. If you like light, fluffy fun books I suggest you stay away from this
one. Even I went outside my comfort zone and found myself running the gauntlet
of emotions the entire sixty plus pages of CAPTURE. You will be
horrified, on the edge of your seat and trying to not look away from the
e-reader to collect yourself. This is by far a dark, dark story that will
either enchant readers or turn them off. I am not sure which I am yet of the
two. I loved the two authors’ lyrical writing but the sheer brutalness took
that enjoyment away from me. After each more degrading scene after another left
me curled up in a ball and whimpering after the last page was read. The story
stays long after you are finished with the book. It kept poking itself in my
brain, showing me the scenes that just would not go away.
THE FLESH CARTEL 1: CAPTURE is a story that will
leave you emotionally wrung out. It is a hard story to enjoy and one that I
found was just too much for me to handle. The violence and everything kicks
things off immediately and doesn’t let up even after that last page was turned.
I don’t think this serial series is for me but I bet there are a few readers
who would love to read this introduction to The Flesh Cartel. Read at your own risk and make sure to if you
do read it, to take a break every now and again, kiss your family and it might
help deal with the dark nature of this series.
