Fantastically Dark

Gah!! The cliff on this book just about killed me. I knew. I KNEW these characters were just too damn happy and were only in book 3 of 5, but damn. DAMN. Just so good.

Keeps getting better

This series really continues to keep me interested and engaged. The male narration isn’t my favorite so I’ll continue with the ebooks

Rushing to write a review!

OMG! (10) I can't think, Okay Okay Okay.....slowing down now.
Everyone, READ this Book!!!!!! Pepper Winters, if you so happen to read my breathless review, YOU are a masterful genius. I am on the edge of my seat to find out what's going to happen. Will I get a happy ending with book 4? or will you continue my dizzying roller coaster ride? The sizzling heat and imagination in this series is beyond ...Beyond! Bravo!!!!

Now....on to #4!

Solid 4 stars

Diving into book 4❤️❤️ This series is pretty good, my fav will always be the Indebted series. I liked Sully and enjoyed Elenor but I feel this had too much inner monologue. I also thought it was a bit too descriptive. It’s dark but no where near as dark as some of her other books.

Definitely some good twists and turns. Her writing style always blows me away along with her imagination.

Explosive, breathtaking, heart stopping, primal

"This book belongs to romance. The darker and hotter, the better. Without romance, without those butterfly flutters, heart-tripping whispers, skin-flaying touches, life would be boring." (Pepper Winters)

My review for books 2 through 4 are minimal as far as the story line to avoid spoilers. But everything you need is in the synopsis. The books in this series are NOT standalone books. Each has a cliffhanger, and the series must be read in order.

“I’ve been sullied by Sully… in every possible way. Mentally, physically, emotionally.”

Book 3 is more graphic and triggering than book 1. In book 2, you learned more of Sullivan’s past and why he’s become the way he is. Book 3 delves even more into that. Sully believes that everything he loves dies. He believes he is cursed, that he doesn’t deserve Eleanor, and that he would destroy her. Sully is the perfect anti-hero. Eleanor/Jinx is an amazing character. She’s courageous, determined, and exceptionally loving and nurturing. The electricity between them continues to grow. The romance is even hotter than the first 2 books. My jaw dropped, quickly followed by my inhibitions and panties. I was lulled into a false sense of security… until the cliffhanger ending. Gahh!!

This story is spellbinding and full of so much pain and passion. Every sentence and character has a purpose to the story. Pepper Winters is a truly talented storyteller! She is detailed and describes everything with such perfection, it makes it easy to picture the world she has created. I felt dizzy as she took me on new heights of ecstasy, passion, and intrigue… until I finally just gave in to the rapturous raw savagery of this story.

Readers, get ready for a ride that is dark, intense, raw, twisted, exhilarating, exciting, kinky, sexy, dirty, addicting, angsty, explosive, full of internal turmoil, thrilling, and scary in the most scintillating way. A ride that pushes your limits and makes you crave everything that Goddess Isles has to offer.

The narration is done in true Duet style. The flow was nothing short of amazing. Sarah Puckett embodies Eleanor and her tenacity, stubbornness, and spunky attitude. Sully is one of the darkest and most alpha characters I have met. Scott Rider couldn’t be more perfect in portraying him. Scott perfectly delivers Sully’s dark, twisted, and complex character. Sarah and Scott ARE Jinx and Sully. Sarah expertly delivers Eleanor’s anger, lust, desire, and emotional turmoil. Scott expertly delivers Sully’s raw emotions that are full of lust, anger, desire, jealousy, internal turmoil, and hardcore alpha male persona. Their duet narration plays out the story in a very realistic way and makes you love the characters even more. When I’m done with this series, I will definitely be searching for more books by these 2 narrators!

Sad there's not a book 4 on Here

I truly love this series and feel this is such an interesting read. The way the book lefts off makes you want to go out an buy book 4. I am was truly sadden when I found out the book 4 is not on audible. I wish it was. Even if you read up to just this book is so worth the read!!!

holy @#$$$

this is to intense... I love Pepper Winters, love the drama, the love and devotion that Sully and Jinx share. can't wait to get into the next book

Thrilling-Darkness-Brilliant!

Pepper Winters is my go to for dark romance, and this is definitely dark. Pay attention to trigger warnings before you dive into this series!! All of that aside, once again Pepper has pulled me into a dark romance with characters who are confusing and there are some significant moral quandaries and beyond-complicated characters. This is book 3 in a series of 7 books and the are cliffies, so only start this book if you are prepared to be all in and read the entire series to get the full story. This is super dark, super trigger-heavy romance with definite consent triggers. Characters leave you questioning everything we are as flawed beings and the complexity of our psyche and the power of choices. I was completely hooked because this Author brilliantly leaves clues to more and more secrets that I NEED to know. Excellent mystery, thriller, dark romance. I am burning through this series!

Sarah Puckett & Scott Rider are both excellent narrators and this book done in DUET is very well produced with powerful performances! I love DUET when it's done right, and I love getting lost in the story with truly talented narrators.
