Third Debt (Indebted #4) by Pepper Winters

“She is my salvation, my reason for existence, my queen.”

What am insanely emotional journey the Third Debt turned out to be.

It starts off exactly where Second Debt left off. We take the journey that Jethro and Nila take trying to piece together what’s left after the ending of Second Debt.

For me, this series goes from strength to strength and this book has so much in it that you don't have a chance to take breath. From the second it starts you’re whisked back and forth between Jethro and Nila’s turmoil and it seems, for a long time, that there isn’t going to be any good coming from it—how could there be?

Jethro is doing his best to numb everything. He’s past feeling, past caring and past trying to save Nila. He’s done. Thinking he finally has an answer to being able to live life in ‘peace’, he takes it and he holds on to it with everything he has. Meanwhile Nila is trying to fight for him, for everything they shared at the end of Second Debt. For her, nothing has changed. Even when she’s faced with what Jethro is becoming, she fights for him.

The Third Debt actually made my stomach turn and I was definitely pushed to the very edge of my comfort and tolerance. But then … Kes happens and suddenly everything slips a little more into place and you find yourself not only cheering for Jethro and Nila, but you’re cheering for Kes too. Because he deserves happiness just like they do.

Reading their growth, seeing them become stronger, better people has been an absolute pleasure. Jethro and Nila (... and Kes if I'm honest) have stolen my heart and taken over my mind and I don’t regret a single thing.

But, as with all Pepper’s stories, the road to happiness is never, ever easy and this road has barely begun. The unique talent that Pepper has is to be able to create a story that pulls your emotions in every direction, that challenges your tolerance of evil and wraps you so tightly you can’t escape and by the end of it, you want to shout about just how much you loved it, is one I have very rarely found.

I’m going to end this here and go and start the next book because I absolutely cannot stand not knowing what’s going to happen (even if I have read it before, it doesn’t feel like it at this point)

•Needless to say, if you’re unsure if dark is for you, then please do your research and read the trigger warnings for this book.

It’s not light. It’s not fluffy. Please read responsibly.

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?” It’s not often (probably never for most people) that you find a book that, for a good 75% of the book, you dislike 99% of the characters in it and yet, YOU KEEP READING. It seems utterly ridiculous to even say that about a book that I have given 5 stars to, I get it. But it’s how I felt reading this book and it’s a testament to the absolute artistry that is the writing of this story for me. It’s not my typical read and if any other book was like this, it would be left unfinished. I see no shame in not finishing a book you don’t love. There are too many wonderful books out there to discover, why read something you don’t wholeheartedly adore? And yet … The writing and story telling of these incredibly flawed and complex characters had me unable to put it down—I mean that, I read it in less than 48 hours—I just HAD to know what happened, I was fully invested even though I felt no real conn...

Fueled (book two) by K. Bromberg

Incredible . Colton and Rylee’s story continues in book two of the Driven Series and it goes from strength to strength. There were so many, so many parts in this story that had me actually growling at my kindle. Colton can truly be the most infuriating male in the book world sometimes. But I get it. And so will you. As is always the case with K.Bromberg , you’ll get a heap load of emotions and sexiness but it’s not all the story is. There is a complicated and deep story woven throughout and it’s beautiful to read. There are some utterly heartbreaking moments that left me breathless and with tears streaming down my face, but there were also many, many moments of absolute belly laughing and that’s truly what I need from a book. Everything . There are few books that make me throw my kindle, only to go right back and pick it up, because I just had to know what was going to happen. And then it did … I LOVE this series.

Cor Amare (Luna #2) by Pepper Winters

“Someday...but not today,” There’s no doubt that Pepper has a unique ability to create worlds and characters that you haven’t met before. She writes love with an intensity that burns from the page and sears soul-mates together for eternity and this story is no different. I really wanted to love this duet—I loved the idea of everything being surrounded by water, that the love story span a lifetime and I adored the way in which the story was told. But Cor Amare left me feeling a little like the first one did, that it didn’t quite deliver on what I hoped for. Cor Amare picks up exactly where we left off in Lunamare —Aslan is on the run and Neri is trying to pick up the pieces and keep him safe. The story is a whirlwind for many chapters and then Pepper lulls us into a place of presumed safety … which of course doesn’t last for long. Strangely I found Aslan most likeable when he was apart from Neri and trying to survive his ordeal. I found his strength and sheer determination to fight in...
