"I'm not the hero in this story, girl. You'd do best to remember that."
At eighteen years old, I was murdered.
I wish my tale ended there.
However, my killer resuscitated me and sold me to the highest bidder, sentencing me to a world worse than Hell.

Mind-Blowing!
Whew! Pepper Winters never fails to blow my mind! I know when I pick up one of her stories that I'm in for a mindf*@k and that is exactly what I got with 'Pennies'.
This story was so disturbing that I needed to take a little time to decompress after finishing it, before writing this review. I just needed time to come to terms with what I had just read and process my emotions. To me, that's a sign that I've just finished a phenomenal book.

If you are fallowing my reviews, I think you know by now how much I love dark and twisted reads. I love how they keep me at the edge of my seat or how they make my heart race.

"Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is what ultimately destroys them."
Pennies is the first book in the Dollar Series and once again I am awestruck by the fantastical writing of Pepper Winters! When I first read the blurb, I was, of course, intrigued and I immediately mentally prepared myself for "another" captor/captive romance. Brace yourself readers....this is not what you think it is! Read all the reviews you want but be forewarned NOTH

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of Pepper Winters. I am completely obsessed with this author and her mad skills with the written word. And yes, I do stalk her ass on social media!

I have been disappointed by this author in the past, so I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. It should come with another warning though: Do not start this book at the beginning of a work week. I could not stop myself from picking it up at every opportunity which was not as often as I would have liked, it would be a ...more
*****5 A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS STARS*****
This is a HAUNTINGLY, BEAUTIFUL tale of Kaitou (The Phantom Thief) and Mokusatsu (Kills with Silence).
I'm a fan of dark reads, I like that I can enter a world outside of my boundaries! Stories that can strip your mind and somehow make it acceptable to enter into uncharted territories. This story was different than the others I have read! It was dark, but not gritty. It was raw and not over cooked! It enraptured me! I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN I coul ...more

It's hard to read this story. I had to stop several times to finish, not because it was bad, but it was so heavy. Very exciting ending will leave you in a point that you will be breathlessly waiting for the next part.

Believe it or not but this is my second book by this author and I didn't like the first one that I've read by her.

The story is good, very good actually. I just can't deal with the repetitiveness of phrases and adjectives. They were unnecessary and tiresome Grrr. Lol.
For example: "You know so many secrets, I want to know all your secrets. You have secrets even you don't know."

Tasmin's life is a pretty happy one. That all changes when she is killed. She is choked to death and brought back to life and forced into a new identity.

Pepper Winter’s came with hurricane force and took few prisoners. Human trafficking and slave trading has alway been repulsive and this author gives an inside view. Up close and impersonal.
Don’t know who my heart broke more for, the imaginary No One or Pimlico. Surrounded in a world of predators, the actual fight to survival begins. The mindfuckery never stops! Lies, manipulation is at every corner.

RATING: 3 Hearts
Pennies has an intriguing blurb and even more unique name, and while Elder will pique curiosity, unfortunately Tasmin's character detracts from the deeper feelings of a dark, emotional read with her constant back and forth of "I'm strong"/ "I'm weak". Overall, my first Pepper Winters book was okay.
As always, so much fun with Suzanne! Love you! Muah. <3

She was Tasmin once. A beautiful young girl. Successful. Brilliant. Loving. She had a life planned out for her. A good life. Perhaps a happy one.
Then she was killed. She was only eighteen then.
Now, at 20, she is Pimlico . A broken piece of glass. A girl with nothing. Not even a voice. She is still dead because breathing doesn't always mean you're still alive.
