Feeling Forever: Tasting Madness Book Three Author Albany Walker
Book Review
4 out of 5 stars!
First and foremost! This is the FINAL book in the trilogy and the books do end on cliffhangers. If you have not read "Seeing Sound" and "Touching Oblivion" go read those two first! This book is the conclusion to the trilogy and this review will contain spoilers for the series if you haven't read them in order.

"Maybe normal is overrated." - Waylynn
Waylynn was just opening up and feeling comfortable and confident with her guys. Figuring out the dynamics of each of them and how they all fit together. Building up her courage to tell them the truth about the voices when everything comes crashing down around her. Her mother made an unexpected appearance and completely outed her! Will the guys look at her the same or leave her picking up the pieces?
The guys see right through Waylynn's mom and how she's being manipulative but now they need to prove to Waylynn that they will not leave her. They are thoroughly tested with this last trail and failure's NOT an option. Tensions are high, relationships are strained, and meeting the parents is molar grindingly frustrating. Will the group survive the challenges that life is throwing at them to ensure they are certain about this commitment?
"She needs all of us. We just have to keep my idiot brother from getting us into trouble." - Oz
Oh, with this installment I fell even harder for Bates and Oz, especially Bates. There was no way in Hell that Bates was just going to stand by and allow Waylynn's mom to bulldoze her. In this book Bates really proved himself and what he had to offer for the group. I was cheering so many times and grinning like an idiot reading through his dialogue!
Oz is just my chaos fiend, and we would get along so well. Probably drive Memphis even more up the wall and insist the two of us stay apart. He's the comic relief in the group and helps to keep things light and playful, but surprises everyone when he actually has deep wisdom to gift. I did like to see his younger side with a certain situation in the book that led to him making not the best "mature" decisions. But honestly, I would have done the same.
Memphis's character was one that grew on me throughout the series. He's complex and there were several times I was shaking my head at him, Oz and Bates having to confront him on multiple occasions to pull his head out of his rear. There are reasons behind his actions, and I enjoyed getting to understand more of his backstory.
Waylynn's coming out of her shell more and more. Understanding who she is and what she wants out of her life! I loved watching her self-confidence grow and her becoming more independent. Detaching from the world her parents tried sucking her into! I was saying from book one that she's definitely an empath and sorry if this is a spoiler but the events in this read really solidified that theory. Our baby grows up in this book and I was so proud of her!
This installment had my blood boiling on several occasions. I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate when an author has me feeling such strong emotions with their works! There were serval situations in this book that had me ready to go to war and protect. I was writing "WTF" so many times in my notes for this read especially with a series of chapters because of everything that was happening. Manipulation is a big thing that's showcased in this read and how it affects everyone involved.
I did want to rate this book higher because I absolutely love Ms Walker and her writing style so much! My personal and honest opinion is that I felt there wasn't enough closure to some situations within this read. Things are tied up and you can use your imagination to fill in the finer details, but I felt like there should have been just a little more.
This book does contain language, some violence and mention of blood, blatant manipulation, and anxiety. Some more details into a past MC's life and how someone else's drug addiction affected them. Confrontations that needed to happen and will leave you cheering for the MC. There is a side character who doesn't want to take no for an answer, but nothing happens! Loved having the continuation of multiple POVs.
We have a why choose romance with brothers and their best friend! MFMM action is in the book along with MF action, sorry there's no sword crossing in this read. Each of the guys' present different dynamics and power plays. Voyeurism is present and the group approves of it even encouraging them to act accordingly to accommodate the voyeur. We get praise and I love that there was comfort in this read as well. "Good girl", "Yes, sir", and "Eyes on me" are just a few lines used. The guys are also very much touch her and you die vibes.
I'm sad to see the cast go but excited to read what other books Ms Walker is going to come up with! Enjoy the ending to the trilogy with romance, tests, make it or break it points, and so much more! Don't forget to give the author some stars!
