I love that the story seems as though it's going to continue for a while after his rescue.
Nothing ruins a good story like a half-assed rushed happily ever after.

Well worth the wait. I'm hoping the he'll be leaving the hospital in the next couple of chapters. I'm ready for a new environment.

I'm glad Brennan has Sam by his side now too apart from his family and other ppl taking care him,it feels he's really comfortable with her and can tell or answer her things without feeling forced to do so. You dont know how happy i was to see a update,this story has become really special to me and wish i could ask you the rest of the story in fast forward because its so unpridictable....it kills me to wait its that good.Nice chapter you deserve all the applause you get for this story:)

After the previous chapter, I wrote a really long review of how good you write and I wrote some things I noticed and was wondering about etc... and then it wasn't posted.... But then I guess it's better this way because while I know you wouldn't have revealed anything important, there's something about not having any clue about what's coming next. So I will only note that from the very first page you had me at a title from an incubus song! and one from "a crow left of the murder" at that! I'm the only incubus fan I know of that LOVES that album. But what I like most is that for the first time I've read a story referencing to a song I know, gave the story gave it a new meaning or if I'm being precise, a darker meaning... so kudos for that and I'll stop rambling now :)

I feel so emotionally drained after reading the story so far but I couldn't stop myself after reading the 1st chapter...I was sucked in like I was in Brennan's shoes I couldn't eat properly,I felt so depressed for two days,I know it's fictional but thinking some parts of the story just might be someone's reality out there is terrifying...I just want all of his pain to end pls give us a happy ending or i might start hating the world:(
Anyway after letting out i feel much better...honestly the story is unlike anything I've ever read so far,so cruel and brutal but at same time felt so real and unreal. You dragged me in a world I never have thought existed even if its in the form of a story. As much as distress I had felt throughout the story I really want to tell you how much I really love it...it's one of those stories you just can't forget:)you are AMAZING I've definetly become ur fan thanks for writing and sharing.

Good story! Very gritty plot. I noticed some minor spelling mistakes throughout that can be caught by a read-over. For example, this is one in last chapter. “I didn’t want it to be like this,” I said quietly, so that only I could hear him. I am not sure but think you meant to type Al said quietly.

Review re-posted from Goodreads.com I'm not even sure what to say about this but I feel like I should say something. You can't read a book like this and not come away unscathed. I'm at least happy to see that people seem to be heeding the warnings and there aren't a lot of 1 & 2 star reviews because the reviewer didn't realize that this was something other than what it is. A horrifying tale of the kidnap and daily rape/torture of a 20 year old boy for 5 months. Part one deals entirely with his ordeal from capture to... I won't give away how part one ends but I think everyone who reads this will be begging right along with Brennan for the suffering to come to an end. Part 2 is still a WIP but you'll have to start reading it immediately because you have to know. You have to know that something is finally going to go right for this poor boy. I'm ready for the healing to begin and I know it's going to be a long, arduous journey for both the character and the reader but it's a journey I will willingly and breathlessly take. I hope Maddox writes fast.

Dang right you are Brennan!
Even for normal things, like, if someone's kid is dating. or getting married. or stuff like that.
It's like there must be some 'inform the family' thing going on before 'the family finds out from other sources' sorta thing... like the hell? If you were a family member of importance, you'd be THERE. no need to go inform you.

and NOW. with this sort of matter. This sensitive matter.... I'm in no position to feel what Brannan is feeling, but this whole information going out thing is totally URGH.
I'd want to run away and change my identity and start a new life...

By the way.... the progress, is brilliant.
" Each recollection turned over like a page in the most well-read horror novel and I occupied the space between desensitized observer and the devastated reader who already knew what was coming. "

When I read this bit, it was the 'hit' moment. Take a step back and really, look at this wonder you've written.

It's amazing. These emotions you portray. The depth of it, the way you make the reader FEEL. Brilliant.

Totally worth the wait. and totally gives cause for begging for the next update.

PLEASE UPDATE!

ps: I like Chloe too :)

Sooo happy that this story updated, I've been checking every week or so and it finally paid off! I admire the way Brennan's father doesn't push him, he's always patient and sleeps in his room on the couch. Although having read how many times Brennan tried to escape and was caught has made me super paranoid that each new character introduced might have darker ulterior motives, so I'm just as reassured as Brennan that his father never leaves. Looking forward to the next installment.

WOW... this is getting tense.. Glad that Jason is alright. I hope Brenan will meet someone who will get rid of his fears
