Pennies by Pepper Winters

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was kindly provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My actual rating was 5 stars.

This is the first book I have read by the author Pepper Winters and what a book to start with!
The story itself is somewhat disturbing but in the best possible way...I think! It's edgy, it's thrilling and it's raw. It delves in the underworld of sex trafficking and makes for a very intense read. It's dark and gritty, I mean I was expecting dark, I love dark but this takes it to a whole new level. It definitely made for an intriguing but uncomfortable read. There were times when I was too scared to continue but luckily we aren't treated to the most depraved side of the monsters that lurk inside these pages.
Although I loved every word of this book, I was left feeling dirty.... violated almost, which is pretty fitting given the dark theme of the story.
Be warned this isn't a fairy tale, for the most part is rather quite grim and makes you realize those monsters in the dark you feared as a child have nothing on the monsters in this book.

If you like dark, gritty read that suck you in to their depraved world and spit you out feeling dirty and used this is for you!

“At 18 I had pennies, but money didn’t make me bold. At 19 I had dollars, but it didn’t dull the pain of being sold. At 20 I had hundreds, but then I met him and was found. At 21 I had thousands, but all I wanted was to be bound.”

“At 23 I had dollars, but life changed and made me rich. At 25 I had hundreds, but it wasn’t enough to stop my killing itch. At 27 I had thousands, but my reputation didn’t set me free. At 29 I had millions, but I met her and could finally see.”

Tasmin was killed on her 18th birthday. She had everything planned out. A psychology degree, a mother who pushed her to greatness, and a future anyone would die for. But then her murderer saved her life, only to sell her into a totally different existence.

Elder went from penniless to stinking rich with one twist of fate. His lifetime of crime and shadows of thievery are behind him but no matter the power he now wields, it’s not enough. He has an agenda to fulfill and he won’t stop until it’s complete.

But then they meet.

A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.

She was poor.
He was rich.
Together…they were bankrupt.
