About Taboo Book Three
Trey has his first encounter with Colton and things between him and Jake become more complicated. But trouble is never far from Jake, whose life has been rendered upside down and the only reason he is carrying on despite everything, is so he can be with his brother. But when he fails to save Colton, Jake gets into even more trouble with Weldon. It doesn't look like it’s going to end well.

REVIEW:
Taboo Three gives readers of the series more insight into the supporting characters in Kol Anderson’s Taboo series. If you haven’t dipped your toes in these waters you definitely want to start at the beginning of this thrilling series.
We learn more about Colton’s situation, and possibly an idea of what Weldon intends to do with him. Mace shows some unexpected kindness and another side to his character. Could he end up being a good guy? And Trey is showing some depth while continuing to try to convince us (and himself) that he’s not bad, “not like them”.
Weldon slips in this book and his darkness shows through. As Jake starts to see the endlessness to his situation, he begins to understand the meaning of ‘despair’.
“It would stop when he wanted it to stop.
It would end when he wanted it to end.
I had to acquire the art of waiting.”
I doubt there is anything Trey can do to redeem himself for me – he’s the lowest of the low, giving glimmers of hope to Jake and Colton and presenting himself as a guide, a refuge? Not that there’s any chance of escape from this life, only that he can help them find a way to live during the duration of this horror.
In Taboo Three Jake finally realizes he can’t fool himself into thinking this is a new life for himself. Weldon is the bad guy. Trey is powerless.
“Not everyone’s a savior,” Mace warns.

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.
