Fourth a Lie (Goddess Isles #4) by Pepper Winters

“If you wanted a girl who obeys, you shouldn’t have chased after a dream.” I’m going to start off by saying this book isn’t for the faint-hearted. This one made me feel sick. Pepper managed to turn my stomach so many times in this book and put me on the edge of the seat. It was tense and I don’t do this kind of tension well. It felt like I was living what they were a lot of the time and it was intense. Sully and Eleanor (along with Jealousy and Cal) really go through it in this instalment.

I loved her from the first book and that’s only grown with this book. While I read I just kept thinking, I would love to be her friend. Q is … well … Q .
