Twisted Together (Monsters in the Dark Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,464 ratings

The highly anticipated conclusion to the New York Times Bestselling Monsters in the Dark series, complete at 175,000 words.

“After battling through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed everything—my heart, my mind, my very desires to bring her back to life. And for a while, I thought it broke me, that I’d never be the same. But slowly the beast is growing bolder, and it’s finally time to show Tess how beautiful the dark can be.”

Q gave everything to bring Tess back.
In return, he expects nothing less.
Tess may have leashed and tamed him, but he’s still a monster inside.

** After surviving the darkness, a new dawn has begun. Twisted Together wades through black to grey, chasing the light of true love to banish the shadows forever. Pain is a requirement, connection a necessity. But ultimately Q and Tess must face their demons, before they can embrace their future. **

Review

  • 6 Agonizing Breathtaking Beautiful Twisted Stars It's almost impossible to sum up how much I loved this book and its characters. This final book was everything I wished it'd be and more. This is by far the best dark romance/erotic series I've read and I can honestly say, after having experienced reading such brilliantness, my expectations for any dark romance books now are very high. -- Hook Me Up Book Blog
  • 5 breath-taking stars I think Twisted Together has been probably my mostly hotly anticipated book of 2014. Tears of Tess and Quintessentially Q were undoubtedly amongst my top reads of 2013. Pepper delivers another powerfully dark romance, chilling in it's execution with richly drawn characters which I have really come to love. The book has everything - moments that will steal your breath away and moments that will make you smile BIG. It's dark, it's suspenseful and it's HOT AS HELL. Just what we've come to expect from Pepper Winters.--Bec's Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews

    Oh my god what can I say, there are not enough stars in the world to give this book. What can you say about a book that will blow your mind with every page that you turn. Pepper will set your heart on fire and crush you all at the same time. You will cheer with every demon they slay and cry with pain when they are fighting these demons. There is also lots of hot sex. Pepper is a great writer of sex and the darker the better.

    The story continues where Q left off. Tess and Q are engaged but there are still demons in both of their lives that need to be conquered. Tess is still having nightmares of what happened to her in Rio. She realizes that she doesn't need the pain anymore to have sex with Q but will let him continue to hurt her for his pleasure. He knows she is lying but he doesn't know how to help her. His monster is growing and wants to come out to play more. They go to the island to get married but they don't . Q does the unspeakable and is going to bring back his fighting enslave. The woman that she was. As she comes out the other side. Q is drawn deeper into his darkness, and is trying to keep it together. Then the unspeakable happens and now it is Tess's turn to be the strong one and fight for Q and fight the demons of his past.

    Pepper takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotion. There are so many twists and turns that will keep you turning pages well into the night. I started this book yesterday at 6 and finished yesterday. I couldn't put it down. The characters are so complex and layered. Tess and Q both grow up a lot in this final book. In Tears of Tess you see Tess as a young girl, scared and lonely. Even broken you see the young girl. In Twisted Tess has grown up and matured into a beautiful ass kicking heroine. Q may still have his demons and is still easy to anger when others ogle Tess . But we also see him maturing into the man and the monster that Tess needs and wants. Even Franco isn't beyond the glare of Q when he looks at Tess. Franco in my opinion is the comic relief in the story, Cause I think he just does stuff to rile Q up. Tess and Franco have a unique bond as well . He was the first to meet her and now he is her friend and guard. Suzette is as sweet as apple pie, but don't ever cross her. She can lay a licking on Q and put him in his place more then once. She loves both Q and Tess .

    I really want Suzette and Franco to have their own book and love affair. They would be so good together. HINT HINT PEPPER if you are reading this .

    I am in love with this book and I am also kind a sad that this is the last book in the series. I feel like I have watched them all grow up. I have laughed and cried right along side them. Trust me I uglied cried so many times through out the series. I really unglued cried in Twisted Together. There is so much happening. The last 40 per cent of the book had me crying and laughing, but mostly crying . the scenes are so intense . You just want to scream at your kindle, you won't believe what happens and trust me you will be turning the pages well into the night.

    So as I end this blog I want to say I am so happy that I took a chance of TEARS OF TESS when it was free. It was one of the best decisions I could of made. That book took me to a place where I thought I didn't want to go but glad I did. I was hooked and so wanted to see what would happen . Would they finally get their happily ever after . So I want to say THANK YOU PEPPER , you introduced me to characters that I will never forget. They made me cry and scream and laugh.

    So if you want to read a series that is dark, very dark but also is a love story of two lost souls that are bound together. Please check out this series

    We enjoy reading dark and twisted reads. Pepper Winters delivers a perfect dark, twisted and messed up story line, this series is the perfection of a dark romance. An unforgettable and highly recommended series to those who love dark and twisted tales.

    Q has never been in a relationship, never allowing anyone to get close to him. Meeting esclave 58 changed everything, he saw something in her that ignited a spark within him, she had fight. The woman he once knew is no longer, she's changed, she's now a shell of her former self.

    Tess has been through more than any one person should. She's trying to get through each day, the fight within her is no longer raging like it once was. Her flashbacks and nightmares are taking over, consuming her, they're affecting every part of her life.

    Q hates seeing Tess this way, he doesn't know what to do to help her. It's tour torturing him see her like this, he can't let her slip away from who she use to be. He will do everything he can to bring the life back into her.

    "I want to be me again. I want to be free."

    Trust is what Q needed from Tess to help her and trust is what she gave him. Q will stop at nothing to help the woman who has captured his soul find herself again. Pepper does an outstanding job with the depth of emotion and torment that Tess and Q go through together. We were sitting on the edge of our seat waiting, waiting, waiting then BAM the plot twist.

    Tess and Q demonstrate just how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other. The second half of this book showed us just how powerful their relationship is, their love and connection for one bother runs deep into their souls.

    This book felt like it had a lot more weight and depth to it. Finding out secrets, seeing pure torment through the eyes of not only Q but Tess, and with the dual POV the insight into their mindsets was fantastic. Just when we thought Pepper couldn't get us more worked up, we were wrong. If you like dark books with a strong heroine, an even stronger man with a dark damaged mind and a storyline filled with suspense, intensity, raw emotion and erotic sex scenes look no further. The book was the perfect conclusion to the series. Bravo Pepper!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    *Sigh* Oh, Q. You've gone and made me love you more, if that's even possible!

    Pepper Winters knocked it out of the park with the third book in her Monsters in the Dark series.
    Remember how I was worried about Tess's arc going backwards? Don't worry. Trust me. 😏🔥

    In this book, we see just how far Q is willing to go to bring back the Tess he fell in love with and we see how far Tess is willing to go to save the man that saved her.
    Pepper knows how to tug at heart strings when she separates lovers in her stories, making the readers hurt almost as much as the characters themselves.
    She also knows how to provide the healing needed and I love how much healing this book contains! Mental, physical, relationships... so much healing.

    I have really loved this series so far and I'm sad to see it coming to an end. I'm into the last book and it's much shorter than the previous ones in the series - almost novella sized. I'm not so sure I'm ready to say goodbye to Q and Tess and I DEFINITELY need the inside on Franco and Suzette!! If their hush hush little relationship isn't in the final book, I'm starting a petition for their own story!!

    Tbh, I’m a little disappointed by this one and I’m really bummed about it! The second book was a 5 star read for me, I had high expectations for this one but it just didn’t grip me the same way as the 2nd one did.
    I loved the interaction between Tess and Q, seeing how their relationship developed and the character growth. But I was expecting a little bit.. more I guess.

    Ormai mi conoscete bene e sapete che sono strana, quando si tratta di dare le stelline a un romanzo ▬ così come sapete che mi viene il mal di pancia quando ne do meno di 5. E' il caso di questo romanzo. Ora, ricorderete senz'altro che Q Mercer è la mia anima, siamo connessi in modo viscerale, letteralmente, ma in quest'ultimo capitolo... Oddio, non voglio dirlo >.< Non sembra davvero lui. Ecco, l'ho detto T.T il terzo e ultimo libro di questa trilogia gronda amore e miele da ogni santa pagina -_- No, no e anche NO! Dov'è finita la violenza sadica di Q? °O° Je t'aime di qua, je t'aime di là... Forse verso l'inizio era carino ▬ nonostante già avessi fiutato un andamento diverso delle cose ▬ con Tess che non era più Tess... Belle la scena del "quasi stupro" e quando Q ha lottato contro la mente di Tess per riportarla ad amare il dolore. Ah! L'unica parte che ho divorato è stata quando è entrato in scena Lynx: oooooh finalmente è tornato un bel po' di sangue, ho pensato, rincuorandomi e sperando che la storia continuasse su quella piega... Invece no T.T Matrimonio, lacrime, tanto ammmOre e bla bla bla. Quiiiindi, le mie 5 stelline sono tutte per te, mio Q.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Conclusion to an Amazing Series!!!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2014
    What an amazing book, story and series! It was breathtakingly beautiful and poetic despite the darkness and pain that the story portrayed.

    I'm not a lover of dark books on the whole but I'm so glad I read this series. I read it initially because the author is going to the Edinburgh signing but then after the first instalment I was hooked.

    Twisted Together continues to track Tess and Q's emotional re-acquaintance with each other as Tess tries without much success to put her demons to rest.

    Despite the powerful story-line I found the first 20% of this book quite slow and painstaking but the story soon picked up and grabbed my attention to the point where I couldn't put it down.

    Yes there were parts of the story which for me didn't quite gel together (Q certainly has an unusual method to deal with trauma!) but overall it was magical.

    ***I wanted to ram the gates, cross her moat, and send an entire army of artillery to massacre her nightmares. I needed to know what swirled and swelled behind her eyes. I needed to know how to help her.***

    This book, as with the others, has so many highs and lows for Q and Tess that you feel completely wrung out by the end but oh what a story it is. You cry for them, fight alongside them and feel their unconditional love which is far from pure but totally encapsulating.

    Tess's strength and will to survive is like a beacon and one which cannot be extinguished by the darkness despite its best efforts.

    ***“My name is Tess Snow. Not Sweetie, or Tessie, or Honey. I’m a woman only now realizing what she’s capable of. I’m no one’s daughter. I’m no one’s girlfriend. I’m no one’s possession. I belong to me, and for the first time, I know how powerful that is.”***

    Q is fierce in his determination to save Tess and to protect her from evil but to do this his must sacrifice himself to the darkness as he turns to Tess and Franco to save him.

    The raw sexuality felt between Tess and Q continues in this book to a point where their passion and explosive connection is almost unbelievable but then you remember; this is Tess and Q.

    I am not going to spoil this book in any way for anyone who hasn't read it yet but I will simply say that the ending is perfect and a faultless conclusion to Tess and Q’s story.

    ***“Sometimes, the only way to make your dreams come true is to shatter them,” he said, circling me like a predator. “Sometimes, the only way to make your nightmares disappear is by facing them.”***
