Quintessentially Q

Monsters in the Dark,
Book #2

Genre: Erotic/Dark Contemporary Romance

SYNOPSIS:
“All my life, I
battled with the knowledge I was twisted… fucked up to want something so
deliciously dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my
world. Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where
two wrongs make a right."
Tess is Q’s
completely. Q is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of
their unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who
sold her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and
that’s just what he’ll do.
He may be a
monster, but he’s Tess’s monster.
If Tears of Tess screwed with your mind
then be prepared once again for an even bigger and better Mind*uck. Q is back
and this time he’s out to prove his devotion and obsession to Tess. But as we
all know sometimes the easiest plans are the hardest especially when you live
in the dark.
Tess is strong, but is there love strong enough? I honestly love
the connection between Tess and Q. If there was truly anyone meant for him it
is most definitely Tess. And this book brings about quite a few changes in the
characters. They are tested and even their relationship is hanging by a thread.
But Q has some hidden sides to his personality that slowly begin to grow in
this book and boy what a transformation that was.
I still think it’s impressive how much we feel for Q. Sure
he went through a horrific childhood and his dad was by far the worst role
model ever. But somehow given his need to save slaves/girls and dark tendencies
in the bedroom you still can’t help but get shivers from him. Sure he scares
the shit out of you but there’s something twisted inside of him that calls out
to your own hidden dark fantasies. (Maybe minus the blood. That is one thing I
still can’t get on board with lol.)
We have dual POV’s in this book so it’s easy to stay
enveloped in both Q and Tess’s minds. I loved the dynamic and the unfailing
determination of Q that easily resonates from Pepper’s writing. You’ll be
sucked in and spit out at the end. But once again there is no life ending
cliff-hanger so awaiting the next book should not be too hard. Hands up to
Pepper Winters though, once again I was shocked, scared and involved from start
to finish. This writer has one insane mind and no matter how sick and twisted
things get you just can’t stop. I found this book even darker than
Tears of Tess so take a deep breath before starting. Somehow
this series just keeps getting better and better and I can’t wait to see what
the future holds for Q and Tess. One thing for sure, life for these two is
never what you expect and I’m certainly looking forward to Twisted
Together set for a early 2014 release.
My Review

4.5 Stars ★★★★☆
ARC provided by Author for Honest Review
If Tears of Tess screwed with your mind
then be prepared once again for an even bigger and better Mind*uck. Q is back
and this time he’s out to prove his devotion and obsession to Tess. But as we
all know sometimes the easiest plans are the hardest especially when you live
in the dark.
So I found the beginning a bit awkward, in a way only
because you can feel the residual tension in both Q and Tess that is controlling
them both since Tess’s return. Tess is ready to make Q believe she’s there for
the long haul. But dirty minded Q can’t stop believing that he’s too much for
Tess. And boy oh boy Q is a lot too handle I admit. Some of his kinky fuc*ery
scares me but not Tess and that’s what she wants him to understand.
Q has his romantic side too. The possessive side that makes
Tess his and heaven forbid someone should so much as touch Tess. Well unfortunately
for these two Q has enemies. Fairly early on Q do everything in his power to
reclaim Tess all the while she’s being tortured. And trust me when I say it’s
in a way that would make any sane person go off the deep end.
Tess is strong, but is there love strong enough? I honestly love
the connection between Tess and Q. If there was truly anyone meant for him it
is most definitely Tess. And this book brings about quite a few changes in the
characters. They are tested and even their relationship is hanging by a thread.
But Q has some hidden sides to his personality that slowly begin to grow in

week, Tess is on top of the world.

Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?
