Whoa.. the conclusion I didn't know I wanted but desperately needed. After the first two books, I always thought that it was the end, that the epilogue will wrap up everything and give me a HEA. But no. Pepper had to strike my overwhelmed heart with this third book.
Not going to lie, the book is long. Very long. I even thought of skipping a few pages (couldn't, btw). The story keeps you gripped however. Starting off where book 2 ended, there is so much happening in this book that it's really hard to remember whether everything I read happened in this or previous ones. Some major parts were Tess's nightmares, elopement, Q's crazy ass idea, his kidnapping and the final epilogue .
It explores the aftermath of the abuse Tess tolerated and how there are still many facades of a person's psyche that are tattered after going through that. The bond between Tess and Q is brutally tested and revenge plays such an integral theme in this book. And it also restores the lack of sexual scenes, just fyi, even though this book too is an emotional rollercoaster.
I love Q. Absolutely, madly love Q. And Tess too. She is so strong and so willful. Battling so many things and overcoming so much. I love their chemistry and intrinsic bond. The side characters in my opinion played a much greater role in this book. They came together as chosen family.
Loved loved loved this book. With all its brutality, monstrosity and passion. A must read series if you can really handle the darkness, because this book is pitch black filled with shimmer.
