As it Appears on The Accidental Reader
I wont say anything about this book because it will ruin everything. The review will be a spoiler itself but for those of you who read the first two installments and still trying to decide whether or not to read the first one just grab it and devour it as slowly as you can. Like every good thing these series come to an end too. It was the most heartbreaking, sad, agony filled book I ever read. Sometimes I could not believe what I was reading others I was appalled by horror and found myself appraising the author for the greatness she created.

I think the third book, personally, was a stretch. I loved books 1 and 2 and book 3 lost the momentum a bit for me. I loved Q sacrificing himself, but for some reason seeing him weak was just a bummer for me. I don’t know. I still loved this book and this series but this one wasn’t as quick of a read for me. I just couldn’t get into it as much.

This was the perfect conclusion to an amazing story. This couple was not traditional in any sense but they have proven that love truly can conquer all.
There is SO much happening in is story! Between Q and Tess. The ups and downs, ahh! I had to set it aside a few times and read something a bit lighter…like a few horror novels. These characters get under your skin. They will make you feel what they feel for each other. How they are affected. You are affected. It is much more than your run of the mill erotica. I believe Pepper Winters has a knack for creating memorable, re-readable stories that live with you long after the last page.
Tess feels she had to become a monster to know Q. To love him, truly. Perhaps she did. I thought her ordeal in Rio was her breaking point. I thought coming through to the other side of that was what would make her whole.
Q thought he was strong enough to help her though. To hold her. Heal her. Be everything for her. Her Master. Her Owner. He thought he could find her and everything would be all right.
I knew how it would end. The author tells us it would be a happy ending but boy does she drag us over razor blades to get us there. As I replay some of the scenes in my mind I am like “Wow readers you’re in for it!” I believe that the pain is worth the pleasure but that could just be the Sadist in me talking *w.e.g* Any fan of dark,demented, and twisted erotica should definitely read this book. Twice!
If this book had its own soundtrack the title song(s) would be…
1= Sweet ‘n’ slow
“I’ll make love to you” -Boyz 2 Men
5= X-rated
“Whose booty is it” –Jonn Hart
Overall Rating
5 of 5 (Highly recommend to friends, would reread, memorable characters etc)

A little whiny for me at first....I was worried there wasn't going to be much of a plot other than their mental anguish. Definitely got better, although I will say nu-uh to the wedding scene.
I loved this series! It was dark, twisted, sexy, unconventional, uncomfortable, excruciatingly painful, and beautiful. Twisted Together was the perfect bookend to the Monsters in the Dark trilogy, bringing balance and closure to the gut-wrenching tale of Tess and Q.
I had to read this one in pieces. The opening third of this one was INTENSE. This book picked up where Quintessentially left off, with Tess battered and battling to hold on to her present, clinging to the hope of a future, but still tempted to lock herself away, in order to avoid facing her past. As Q battled to bring Tess back from the brink, I held my breath, terrified that the damage done to this beautiful couple was irreparable. There were times when I needed to stop reading, in order to catch my breath. Ms. Winters had me by the throat as she put these two through what can only be described as some crazy s***. The book picked up about midway, it wrenched me along a crazy adventure, one filled with blood, violence, and darkness. I f***ing LOVED it!!!! I loved the transformation that these two characters made. From Tears of Tess, when I first met two lost, lonely, cold, miserable, empty beings, to Twisted Together, when Tess and Q merged and became one. There coming together was an alchemy, a metamorphosis of the soul.
Like Q branded Tess, I can say that after experiencing this series, Pepper Winters has left a searing mark on me, one that won't quickly fade. Don't be afraid to read this series. It's not your typical love story, but that's what makes it oh so good!
Uh wow. I can't seem to come up with anything else least I give away the story.
The third book in the Monster in the Dark series, Twisted Together begins where Quintessentially Q ends. Tess is shattered and Q will do everything in his power to help her heal. Tess must face her demons if she can truly give Q what he wants and needs.
Poor Tess, Poor Q! The amount of pain these two have endured separately and together is unimaginable. Now that the physical wounds have healed the mental scars remain. Only through transcending love that reaches pain, understanding, and forgiveness, can they truly begin to heal. Their connection and love for each other could be felt deep within our souls. This book is dripping with emotion and took us to the darkest places we never thought possible.
We give it 4.5 sighs.

After suffering through 'Quintessentially Q' and the twist and turns of Q's and Tess's falling in love with each other over two already too-long books, I really hoped 'Twisted together' would be about THEM, about being together, working out their relationship and their issues, and healing while pushing borders.
What I got was a rinsed-and-repeated version of 'Quintessentially Q' (how about 'Terrifically Tess'

This book didn’t work for me. I love this author and I loved the first 2 books, but I think I just couldn’t read another story this dark. I felt the story dragged a bit and some of my questions weren’t answered. I felt Tess and Q lacked some honesty, and that made me feel like they took a step backwards in their relationship.
