“You live in a fairytale, princess and I’m about to destroy it.”
It’s been six years since I first met Jethro and Nila and during that time, I’ve found myself thinking about them often as my best friend (who first introduced me to Jethro) absolutely loves this series and we’ll often find ourselves chatting about it.
I found it a very different experience rereading the series than when I first read it. Having the knowledge of where it goes—even if it is a little cloudy from time—means I know the development these characters have and the journey they go on. From a personal point, I also know the series goes from a three to a five star read for me.
Jethro Hawk is a complicated character, there is absolutely no doubt about that and I'll admit, he's a character I struggled to like in this book. He’s cold, he’s a bully and to begin with, there wasn’t a lot I liked. The things I felt when I originally read the story remained somewhat, but I think that in this case, knowing who Jethro Hawk is changes what you see and feel.
When I first read the story, I struggled a little with the basis of the story—I questioned a lot of things while reading this book and have been left sometimes feeling like maybe … it's going too far. But would it really be a Pepper Winter’s book if she didn’t make you think that?
Pepper knows how to push your limits and paint worlds you get absorbed in. She also has the incredible talent of writing books, scenes and scenarios you know you shouldn’t be enjoying … but you are.
If you’re going to read this series, make sure you’re aware of the trigger warnings that come with it and make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re going to feel and the battle you’ll have with yourself knowing you shouldn’t.
If you’re okay with that, then all I can say is … enjoy the ride.

Nila Weaver is one of those characters that you first assume is weak, (and does anyone like a weak female character?) but as the story unfolds, you realise she’s simply a product of her upbringing and that when she’s faced with Jethro and the challenges he brings, she’s actually not weak at all.

I've given Debt Inheritance 3 stars.
