Patience was a virtue. Patience was a gift. Patience will grant my freedom.
This one was a surprise.
I went in without knowing anything about it, I one-clicked because Pepper writes the kind of books I can get lost in. By going in blind, I felt like Eleanor—knowing nothing, seeking answers and confused as to what was going on.
It’s not an easy story to review because it’s a complicated, twisted, confusing story. You start our appalled, then you’re angry, then confused, ending up curious about what exactly is going on and what the famous elixir does.

Eleanor is wild. There’s no other way to describe her. She’s feisty and opinionated and from what we see in this book, will not go down without a fight and I adore her for that.
Sully is, as all Pepper’s men are, complex and dark. He’s tortured and living a lie that he orchestrates himself to keep himself safe … or so he tells himself.

There is undeniable chemistry, their connection sizzles from the page and dare I say I found the elixir kind of liberating for women? To be able to stand naked and be proud and not ashamed to ask for what you want? Wouldn’t we all like a little of that?
As always, Pepper likes to push boundaries and fill her pages with topics that make you not only feel uncomfortable but make you think. She blurs the lines and leaves you questioning yourself—and I rather like that level of escapism.

This devilish book gets three stars from me. I’m off to download the next book and discover where this story goes next.
•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.
You can find trigger warnings on Pepper's website.
