I didn't review each book so I am going to do a collective one here.
WOW this series is just insane. My first Pepper WInter's book was Unseen Messages which was decent. I had good and bad things to say about it. But once Crown of Lies came out and I fell i love, I needed to try more Winter's books and chose this series to start.
This series gives a new meaning to the word "dark." When I see dark written on a book genre chances are itll deal with issues such as rape, and/or involve BDSM. Sometimes more than that. but this series involved rape and kidnapping, plenty of abuse, and sex that went well beyond BDSM. BUT saying that, there was nothing forced between the hero and heroine. I've never read anything like this, but after this series I would say I am corrupted.
Tess as a character I'l say is a pretty good heroine. Considering everything she went through in book 1 alone, she's pretty strong. And then in book 2 and 3...oh poor girl. But after everything, she came out on top with Q.
Quinton "Q" Mercer is something else. He's dark, beyond possessive, crazy in bed. See the image I'm drawing here? BUT it's not done in a negative way per say. He's not possessive and protective of her in the traditional dark romance way. This really fits his character and the plot,. First, considering she was sold to him as a slave, he has a right to be possessive. Then when he falls for her, and after everything she goes through, being possessive and protective is pretty warranted.
I think the series went through a good amount of waves: book 1 was the introduction to the life and characters. Book 2 was where everything basically blew up and ended on a vicious side of Q. And then the healing. and book 3 is the aftermath. Tess was given as a slave, and later taken in book 2 as peyment/revenge. Then when Q kills everyone to get her back, he's f course in danger in book 3. So like I said it goes through a nice circle.
Then this novella was a beautiful look into the future. I won't say what it's about but I guessed it going into the book. I liked the look into years after they were married, and it gave an update on the other characters as well.
Overall this is a fantastic series! I will be reading more of Pepper Winter's books

I think I will always love a little more of Tess and Q. They just warm my heart in a dark and twisted way.
This novella gives us a glimpse of Tess and Q after a few years of marriage and they are still as insatiable as ever. Q is still Q. Grumpy, domineering, a soft shell under a hard exterior, and only plays by his rules. Tess holds her own though and continues to prove that she is his match. They are about to navigate new territory in their marriage together and the struggle of acceptance and understanding weighs heavy for the both them.
Such a sweet ending for this couple that have been through hell and back. This continued HEA was hard fought!

Je Suis a Toi is the newest addition to the Monsters in the Dark series by Pepper Winters. This novella takes place after the first three books in the series and continues the story of Q and Tess. If you have not read the previous books in this series, you will need to start there. Q and Tess are married and happy enjoying the life they have made together. They have the same desires and needs, and have figured out exactly what works for them. But when Tess can tell that something is bothering Q, she will do whatever it takes to discover his secret and fix it. But Q struggles to let her in and as he begins to pull away, Tess begins to wonder if she can fix it before things get worse.
It was so great to see more of Tess and Q. I love when we get to see couples down the line into their HEA. There are always things that come up in relationships, and I enjoy seeing how they work through those things and function as a couple. So to see these two happy yet still wanting more and figuring out how to make that work was fascinating to me. I will say though that Q frustrated me beyond belief pretty much the entire way through this story! I seriously wanted to shake him at times, but I have to hand it to Tess for how she handled it. The love between these two is so unique and special, and Tess knew exactly what Q needed. These two are absolutely meant to be, and I was so glad that Tess was able to be patient with Q while also pushing him when he needed it.
Overall, this was a great installment into Tess and Q's story. Fans of the Monsters in the Dark series will love this one and find this novella to be a must read. Not only do we get more Tess and Q, but we also got to see several familiar faces here as well. It was great to get more of each of them and see how their lives were playing out as well. Pepper Winters is a great writer, and this novella really felt like the cherry on top of what is already such a fantastic series. Je Suis a Toi was just that little bit extra that you didn't know you needed, and I am so glad that Pepper Winters gave these characters the ending that they deserved.

This is a beautiful conclusion to the Monsters in the Dark series. I love Tess and Q’s story and read the whole series in about a week. It’s such a stunning and twisted love story and it makes me so happy that they found each other and can finally be happy together.
They talked about it in Twisted Together when they go on their date before they play Truth or Dare:
Tess: Do you want kids?
…
Q: Yes eventually, I think I do.
He goes on to talk about his need to make her immortal and how he wants a boy, not a girl. I just found it really annoying that Pepper Winters totally forgot about this. Otherwise I really loved this whole series.
Spoiler
The only thing that really annoyed me was that they had talked about having children before and Q said he wanted them, so the idea that they’d never really talked about it and how he had said a year ago that he didn’t want kids is just wrong.They talked about it in Twisted Together when they go on their date before they play Truth or Dare:

I love Q and Tess. However, this book was a little rough for me for one main reason. They have been married for 3 years now. Did we have to have 100 or so pages of self-doubt again? Couldn't they just be the alpha male and strong female we know they can be?!?!?! It's like one book ends on a high note and we start the next one with one of them thinking they aren't worthy and hiding secrets...ARGH!!!
I picked up rather quickly what Q was hiding. It's not hard if you read all the other books. And once it came out I was more irritated that we went through all this utterly ridiculous inner dialogue yet again. BUT...the last chapter or two helped redeem the book and the epilogue reminded me why I love these two.
“Every hour makes me love you more. Every year, every minute, every moment we spend together. Tess…you do more than complete me. You heal me. And I’ll spend my entire life making sure you understand that.”
