Best series of the year!

There are books I listen to, then there are books that linger. This one is lingering, you know that book hangover that won't let you dive into the next one. I knew this series was going to be phenomenal. It's based on my favorite fairy tale. Then Pepper Winters blows me away with the first two in the series leaving me a need for answers and resolution. I wasn't prepared for the emotional wear and tear on my heart! We pick up where book 2 leaves off, and meet Kas's brother Jareth. Not sure about his motives in the beginning, he is rough, dangerous and a little crazy. But his heart is true and remains with his family. Kass is wary, but he knows his brother. And when Jareth does the unthinkable, Kas and Gemma's life will change forever. Taking in everything that has happened, I am in awe of the story. To know it's a fairy tale, but realize the horrors do exist is mind boggling. Then we have the characters. Gemma is fantastic. By his side from start to finish, her love is unconditional and it pours through Kas. She is the calm and she knows he is worth the fight. Now to Kas. What a superb character. His emotional journey still has me torn up. His darkness is a huge part of him, and to see the goodness shining through made my listening experience incredibly breathtaking. And on that, I will start the narration.

Tor Thom and Charley Ongel are the story tellers, and I can't say enough good things about this performance. I am not a person who cries when I listen, but this story, this team, this gut wrenching emotional journey had tears in my eyes, love in my heart and a need to hear more. Thom is exceptional as Kas. He pours himself into this tortured soul, and you can tell he is feeling every single thing Kas does. Ongel's portrayal of Gemma comes through with a feeling of comfort and love that is second to none. Winters knew what these two would bring to our ears, and it is nothing short of perfect.

5 HUGE stars!!!!

This book is so good! If you wondered who the man at the end of Book 2 was, and what he would do to Gemma, OR where Kass was…. The answers are here!!! And they just bring up all sorts of feelings!!!

This starts where that finished…. And we soon figure out that Jareth has returned…. But why? And what happened to him and the others after Kassen told them to run? This information will be surprising.. not saying why. But this part of the book leads to…. Trying not to spoil while writing this is difficult!!

While reading and listening to this, many questions about the content crossed my mind. During a conversation Gemma had with a physician at one point in the story, the physician asked her if she needed help getting away from Kassen, which initially made me bristle…. But then made me think.. would the story twist there? Cause we all know how fond Pepper Winters is with twists and turns!!! It made my continued journey through this book all the more interesting! To say that the rest of it kept me glued Tobit is an understatement!

Pepper Winters has done it again.. not that this is a surprise to anyone who reads her books… this is an intriguing and extremely well written tale of people who have suffered immeasurable ordeal that, as a human, I can hardly fathom. The hardest part for me is that there are animals in this world who actually DO these things to other people. That they met the end they did, which we already knew about in Book 2… is more than they deserved. They should suffer….

This Book is Everything!

Okay to start I want to say that i never write reviews! I have listened to at least 100 books on Audible and this is the review I have written. This book has all of the feels, it had me laughing, cringing, and crying several times! Truly incredible book, I can not say it enough. I honestly almost did not continue this story after the first book because it was not the usual genre I listen to but I am so glad I continued this series!

Raw and gritty

Wow, there are no words for how good this book was. This is the continuation of Kas and Gemma’s story and it was just as intense and gritty as the first two. This book gave me the answers to the questions I had from book two; it was everything I was hoping it would be and so much more.

This book starts where book two ended, meeting Jareth, Kas’s brother. This is a story of heartache and pain and is a journey full of twists and turns that keep you guessing. The unwavering support that Gemma gives to Kas was inspiring.

Narrated by Tor Thom and Charley Ongel, they did justice to Kas and Gemma’s characters. Ms. Winters has written broken emotional characters that really draw you in and capture your attention and their performances were amazing.

So Worth It

I’ve listened to hundreds of books and this is my first review. This series is heart wrenching, but so so good. I believe more people need to read books like this to open there eyes to reality. It may be a fictional story but unfortunately I am aware that stuff like this happens.

My heart feels like it’s going to burst! My gosh….
