REVIEW:
Taboo Book One, by Kol Anderson, is an explosive start to his new Taboo series and probably one of his most twisted erotic stories to date.
As Kol himself warns “This is a messed up book”.
Jake is definitely one battered, bruised and tormented young man. He has been dealt one of those hands in life that breaks your heart and soul. However, there is a strength to him that is only just beginning to show.
There are three themes introduced to kick off Kol’s new series:
A possible romantic interest with Dr. Trey - There is a hint of a romance (or is it?) at the beginning but we are left hanging about why Dr. Trey was introduced and we have to believe that as the series unfolds we will learn more.
A dark and unsettling family life - Jake will do anything, yes anything, to protect his brother, Colton. Unfortunately their biggest threat comes at the hands of their truly evil father, Benner Ross.
The mysterious and twisted Weldon - His plans for Jake are just getting started but if the cliffhanger ending is anything, we are in for exactly what Kol warns us about.
This first installment in the series ends with many loose ends that captivate us to continue on with future installments.
This is definitely Kol and his dark, depraved style of engrossing writing.
What path are we going to be taken on? Will Jake come out whole in the end? I for one am impatiently waiting for the next installment…which I’m going to read now!
If you are one for a dark expertly written tale you will not be disappointed.
A copy of Taboo Book One was purchased by the Contributor in order that we might offer our fair and honest opinion on behalf of our readers.

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”

I'm a writer. I'm not the guy who writes books in your head. I'm the guy who writes books in MY head. 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 ;)
I love to dream. And sometimes enjoy the concept of nightmares turning into fantasies, hence the dark subject matter of my books and the constant HEA approach. I do love the idea of love, and I have a passion for reading and movies and music and anything that keeps me distracted from the fact that life is pointless.
