The first installment in the Monsters in the Dark series by Pepper Winters was fantastic! I have quickly fallen in love with this author. She writes about things that are normally taboo and she writes about it well.
            Tess Snow lives a wonderful life. She has a fantastic boyfriend and a place at a great school. The only thing she feels is missing is a spark in the bedroom with her boyfriend, Brax. She wants to be dominated, but he’s the exact opposite of that. He wants to treat her like she’s a delicate flower.
            Brax decides to surprise Tess with a trip to Mexico. Everything is wonderful until a trip to a café turns horribly wrong.
            Tess is sold into the sex trade. Her worst nightmare is coming to life. She winds up in the home of Q Mercer, a man that could potentially kill her.
            Q Mercer runs a billion dollar empire in Paris. He’s strong, dominant, and oh so sexy. He doesn’t trust easily and has a hard time opening up to others. He likes dominating women and often accepts women as bribes.
            This is a novel full of sex, rape, violence, and love, the last thing you’d expect to come from all this. You will instantly be entranced with these characters. Emotions will run high, and not just the characters’. Twists and turns fill this book, you will be screaming at your ereader. I cannot express my feelings towards this book. I was pulled in from the beginning.
            Pepper Winters blew me away with this novel. I absolutely could not put it down. This story is very, very dark. Full of horror, eroticism, and gory details. I only recommend this is you can handle such things. As always, it is written for the audiences of the age 18 or older.
            Pepper writes about this almost as if she’s lived it. She provides such detail, such emotion that it is hard not to feel for these characters. Pepper Winters continues the Monsters in the Dark series with Quintessentially Q, set to be published on December 15, 2013.
