I felt extremely bored through about 60% of this book. I hate to say that, because the first book was amazing and the second book was pretty good, though it lacked that wow- factor. For me, the series went downhill after Tears of Tess.

This book will have you feel every emotion that has surfaced this earth!! This story gave pain and pleasure, breaking and healing, redemption and vengeance and soooo much more! I feared their future and I still do because the power between these is indescribable!! I can honestly say my heart and mind are f*cked up now due to this story

this series is ruining my life. i thought it was over just to find out there is a fourth book???? anyway, this book was so messy and insane and long. there was one scene that was so embarrassing to read that i had to put the book down and take a break. not in a good way. so that will haunt me forever.

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!

There were parts I really liked, but some others were long drawn out. Violence to "cure" PTSD seems not suitable for me, but perhaps it's what Tess needs *shrug* Compared to the first two books this one was lenghty, but a very nice ending for Tess and Q. I'm glad they got their HEA. They deserve it.

The ending was great by the way. I'm going to spoil a little, they had a beautiful grand wedding on a private island. However, I find this book dragging and full of raging hormones that needed to be tamed. It is excruciatingly slow and I feel like some parts are not necessary. It's full of drama and it just messed up. Some parts just bored the heck out of me and I skipped some parts. I'm a bit disappointed and almost put this on DNF.
I'm just glad it's over.

Like the other two, this book was fucking amazing.
It was a little slow at the beginning but it was still awesome. There were a lot of OMG moments.
I absolutely loved the part when Q asked Tess what her favorite childhood movie is and she said it's ironic but Beauty and the Beast. And Q doesn't find that ironic at all. Oh Q. How could you not see it? You live in France. You have a huge house. You have a library. Tess befriends your staff. You let her go. She comes back. The list goes on and on.
I also loved Franco and how loyal he is to Q. And I totally ship him and Suzette.
I found this book to be quite funny at times. Like I actually laughed aloud during some parts.
Oh and the sex scenes were great.
I cannot wait for the novella.

"Our souls are that of monsters born in the dark."
Twisted Together was a great conclusion to this amazingly intriguing and dark Monsters in the Dark trilogy. Everything ties up nicely and it was just as exciting and twisted as the two other books. I really enjoyed this final book.
Tess and Q are absolutely some of my favorite characters. They're both very different to read about but on the other hand they're very much the same. I liked reading their points of view equally and as always they were very interesting to read about. Even after two books with them I still had a lot to learn about both of them, especially Q. He still managed to surprise me with his darkness as well as his love for Tess. He's pretty damn amazing.
Aside from it being a little too long in my opnion, I really liked the story. In my eyes it was divided in three parts:
The beginning - where Tess and Q dealt with the aftermath of everything that happened in Quintessentially Q. I'm so glad Q got through to Tess eventually. There were a lot of really intense scenes there that I loved. They were absolutely amazing. Pepper really kept surprising me.
The middle - where it seems that Tess and Q are both getting back to their own selves, sort of... but then it soon goes to hell again. My reaction literally was: they just can't catch a break, huh? But at least it makes for a very exciting story.
And lastly, the end - It was a bit too drawn out for me. A little too long but in the end I really liked how it ended. I must admit I had to fight some tears because I felt emotional with it being the end and all.
I also really need to mention Franco. I've always liked him. Well, maybe not in the beginning but he really stood out in this book and I feel like Pepper has set the beginnings for a story of his own. I really hope that will eventually happen because he's such an intriguing and great character. So maybe someday soon!
And as always the writing was gorgeous. Pepper Winters really has a beautiful way of forming words. Her writing is probably some of my most favorite ever. I couldn't get enough of it all... The story, the characters, the darkness, the writing... It was all pretty damn great!

dark
emotional
slow-paced
This book is incredibly angsty with the character's internal dialogue going in circles and circles. I was invested in this couple, but back and forth was honestly exhausting. I feel bad giving it a poor rating, but I wish I had stopped after the first book.
