Rendition Concering Books Out of Nowhere (Middle of Somewhere #2)
The only thing in Colin Mulligan’s life that makes sense is taking cars apart and putting them back together. In the auto shop where he works with his father and brothers, he tries to get through the day without having a panic attack or flying into a rage. Drinking helps. So do running and lifting weights until he can hardly stand. But none of it can change the fact that he’s gay, a secret he has kept from everyone.Rafael Guerrera has found ways to live with the past he’s ashamed of. He’s dedicated his life to social justice work and to helping youth who, like him, had very little growing up. He has no time for love. Hell, he barely has time for himself. Somehow, everything about miserable, self-destructive Colin cries out to him. But down that path lie the troubles Rafe has worked so hard to leave behind. And as their relationship intensifies, Rafe and Colin are forced to dredge up secrets that both men would prefer stay buried.

4.5 real stars rounded up to 5 really, real stars because still no 1/2 stars here on GR and just because I can. Sometimes the hardest books to read tell the best stories... 'Out of Nowhere' is the second book in Roan Parrish's 'Middle of Somewhere' series and very possibly not only the best one yet...but the best one...period...end of sentence. This is Colin's story and Rafe's. But it's more than that. This is about family. Something we all want and we all get but for each of us it's never theI just love it when we meet a 'villain' character in one book, to then find exactly the same guy an unlikely 'hero' in the following book. Colin was a horrible, homophobic sh** in book 1 of the series and you couldn't help detesting him.As I found out in this book, I could have hardly hated Colin more than he does himself.Saying that he is the most seriously f***ed up character I've come across in a while is probably the understatement of the year. His self-contempt is of epic proportions,
Absolutely fantastic! I loved hearing this story from Colin's POV and it was so beautifully done, this author's writing style is excellent. I just finished In the Middle of Somewhere a few weeks ago so it was great to be able to continue the story like that. Very interesting and complex characters and a wonderful plot. Put this one on your 'couldn't put it down' shelf ;)
First, some advice for those reading Out of Nowhere before release day: Re-read In the Middle of Somewhere now, if you can. This book runs parallel to the first book and events overlap. It confused me at first, so I want to make sure you guys aren't confused. Spoiler below if for those that have already read In the Middle of Somewhere.(view spoiler)[Remember the scene in the shed during the funeral in book 1? We see this from Colin's POV in Out of Nowhere, along with many scenes with Daniel and
Audio Version--review includes audio sample I really liked this when I read it, but this audio....man this on audio! This is not an easy story to read. Its the story of a man who is so filled with self-hate that hes tormented not only himself, but those around him. He has little substance and few good qualities. As the story starts Colin is in a place where he works, he drinks and he seeks out violent encounters with strangers. One of these encounters goes really wrong and it brings Colin to the
Audio - 5 starsStory - 4.5 stars ...um..round down because..um...I am so glad I came back to this book after having it on pause for over a year. This time around, I decided to include the audio, and I have no regrets. This was an awesome angsty, heartfelt read. Colindamn. Theres no excuse for the asshole behavior, but I totally get it now.On a side note, I guess all the "um" and stammering is a family trait??? Not as bad as Daniel, but still a bit much.
**4.5 stars**Although I had some issues with In the Middle of Somewhere, it was an impressive debut novel. But I felt that with this second installment, the author really showed what she can do, and how skilled she is.Objectively, Colin is an asshole, a bully, a bad, bad man.But all I saw was fear and misery. Instead of weakness I saw depression and confusion and self-loathing. Daniel managed to break free, but Colin is still under their father's thumb. One thing that troubles me, though, is
