Why read it?

1 author picked Tears of Tess as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Pepper Winters because she goes into dark places where very few authors are willing to go. In this story, Tess Snow falls from a perfect life into perfect horror. It’s a story that looks into identity being based so much on how others see us, so when Tess is sold, her soul is adrift.

It’s a very dark read, and I had to skip a few scenes but I love the fantasy of a loving trauma bond transforming captor and captive. Not for everyone, so tread carefully.
