Cole Denton has done it again. With each book I have read again he has brought me on an a major emotional rollercoaster. Slave was no different. This book was amazing and showed you the what you do can cause psychological damage to one. How your actions and how you treat individuals can really hurt them. It has consequences. I just wanted to love Brandon and care for him, tell him he would be safe with me, and tell him I would give him the attention he wanted. Each book I have read of Cole’s the damaged individuals are the ones I just want to wrap up in my arms up and tell them they are good enough and they are ok. I bawled my eyes out through most this book. Cole has a way of writing and making you feel the emotions his character’s are feeling.

I knew going into this book Brandon’s story was going to hurt. His story is heartbreaking and eye opening. Although this story is a work of fiction, these situations are real and a tragedy for the human race. I appreciate the detail and explanations provided by the author, via James to Brandon, that it’s ok to be “different.” It’s ok not to conform to what society says is “normal.” I loved the patience and care James showed to Brandon. I can’t wait for more of their story.

What a story. This is the fourth book in the series. When I started reading I had no idea what would happen and was totally surprised. You will get attached to Brandon and be so glad when Dr. James Brooks takes an interest in Brandon. Don’t want to say too much, but you need to read this book. It is a cliffhanger. Enjoy

Meeting Brandon in this series, you know that his story was going to be one of raw emotions and heartbreak. But It became so much more as Cole Denton takes us to the beginning to show how it all became and how it can happen to anyone.
As you follow through Brandon’s teenage struggles that led him to meeting with someone that is supposed to help and trust no matter what. The influence they have are so profound that you never question their motives and after some time a relationship is formed.
“He was all that I truly had. He hadn’t been a fake friend like all the kids at school. Elijah was a solid person, and he promised me that we were friends and that I could rely on him.”
But sometimes people aren’t who you think they are and those pure intentions turn out be anything but. The sinister side of what a person can do with your trust.
“For years I trusted him. For years I thought he was my friend. For years I believed he cared about me. He knew everything about me and had me eating out of his fking hands, and he abandoned me.”
True to Cole Denton’s style , this story will tear up your emotions and shred them to pieces. So grab that box of tissue because once you start this story you are not going to be able to put it down. Some scenes are heart pounding and gut wrenching , so remember to breathe.

Cole never ceases to amaze me with how much emotion he can pull out of a person when you read his stories. This one is Brandon’s and it absolutely tore me apart and slowly put the pieces back together. Cole is a wordsmith like no other. Just absolutely brilliantly written. It will steal your breath and packs a punch unlike any other story you’ll read. There isn’t enough time in the world to explain why you should start this series and dive into Club Oxygen, once you do you’ll feel like you’re fully immersed into the world he has created.

This is a brutal read that pulls no punches with Brandon’s story. The “golden boy” leads a double life, outwardly popular but really, like anyone just wanting to be seen and loved. A tale of betrayal of family and friends, it will rip your heart out and leave it bleeding on the floor. I was captivated by the rawness of this dark tale, the fourth in the Club Oxygen story. Cole breaks his characters down until they are laid bare and you are at the bottom of an emotional roller coaster, then he drives you back up to the top with heart wrenchingly beautiful characters that restore your faith in mankind. One of those books that really makes you feel; anger, frustration, disappointment, sadness, to hope, love and joy, you will be so connected to these characters that you live the book through them every step of the way. Dark fiction at its best, I can’t wait to hear more from Brandon and James in Slave.

Slave is the fourth book in the Club Oxygen Series. I have been looking forward to Brandon’s story. I knew ahead of time that it would be heartbreaking, but not to what degree. Cole Denton’s writing captivated me immediately. There were moments when I felt I was inside the book. Brandon captured my heart. I cried when reading the things Brandon goes through in his young life. I wanted to reach in the book and rescue him. Enter James, someone who gives Brandon what he needs and craves. Cole Denton gives his characters depth that make them seem real.
Slave is a dark, brutal, heart-wrenching and a very emotional story. My emotions we’re all over the place and I attribute it to the brilliant writing of Cole Denton. Slave is one of my favorite books I have read this year. Even with all Brandon goes through, there is a little bit of hope. Kudos to Cole Denton on an amazing book.

Some women aren’t meant to be mothers. And even those people in positions of authority aren’t always what they seem.
Brandon finds this out the hard way and his life spins into such a spiral. But he has a backbone of steel; he just doesn’t know it.
…bent, but not broken.
Excellent book but not for the faint of heart.

Cole Denton delivers a steller story, again! Slave is exceptionally well written. Despite the subject matter, I adored the story because it’s heartwarmingly developed. It’s gripping. And, it’s emotionally stirring. Cole opened my eyes to a subject matter that you don’t normally hear about. He doesn’t fabricate the subject matter. He tells it like it is, appalling, dreadful, and horrendous.
Brandon is a character you want to embrace and then, engulf in your arms. James is someone you need to praise and applaud. Two characters I will not forget. And, a storyline that will hang with me forever. This book is an absolute must-read!

This is a story of struggle and perseverance,battling against the quick sands of tragedy and darkness, trying to breath and trying to find the light.
I lived every moment,from being an insecure teenager looking for love and longing to have someone to be there for you. Putting your trust into people who aren’t worthy, missing the signs because you want so badly to be seen and heard.Then quickly switching over to fierce mama bear mode wanting to love and protect. The storm of emotions rattled me until the last enthralling page.
Page after gripping page, paragraph after spellbinding paragraph, this story captivates and this book haunts. This book is not just merely a read, it’s a story that is felt, endured, and lived by the heart.

Cole writes with sensitivity and rawness that grips your emotions and shreds your heart. Brandon’s story is dark, turbulent and horrific. His young home life is starved of affection and attention and then when he finally feels that he’s starting to gain some control, it spirals into the deepest corners of hell, leaving him stripped emotionally bare. The character attachment is so strong, and the visuals conjured up by the beautiful descriptive writing, places you right into the heart of the story. James is Brandon’s saviour and Brandon’s delicate soul craves this older man’s calm and loyal support as he starts his journey to overcoming and living with the traumas of his past. The underlying feeling of hope and love was endearing and just felt so right. Grab your tissues and meet your next five star read.

“Everyone has a story…
Are you sure you’re ready for mine?”
No I wasn’t sure I was ready for it. I knew it was going to be a hard read, emotionally. Honestly I don’t know how Cole does it but he writes these characters that just get to you. His books make me wish I could jump in to them and kill these evil fuckers. This story is heart breaking and gut wrenching but worth the read. Brandon is a pup you want to take home with you and love forever.

I’m not sure I have the words to explain how I feel. Once again, Cole’s brilliant writing brings out so many emotions in me. From anger and sadness to empathy and even joy, Cole’s characters are so real that you cannot help to feel along with them. I actually felt my heart breaking for Brandon and what happened to him when he placed his trust in someone. Where could you possibly go from there? Betrayal and brutal torture, yet this beautiful boy has found a savior, but will it last or will Brandon once again find his trust in the wrong hands? I can’t wait for the next book!
