This is one of the books I reviewed. And no, I didn't back up the reviews. Yes, this is why the following reviews are only just going up. And yes, I have learnt my lesson kinda.
Tears of Tess has some mixed reviews. They seen to lean towards either the 2 Stars or the 4 Stars. Huh. Guess nobody thought it was okay then? Either totally shit or totally amazing? Well that's awkward...The first thing any seem to comment on is how dark it is/isn't. This pissed me off! See, everyone has different opinions and we all have the right to express them. As long as they aren't making anyone else's seem any less important. What seemed like a mild read to some was dark as hell for me. It all depends on how often we're exposed to this sorta stuff I suppose. Now, did I love it? Fuck yeah! How dark was it in my opinion? One of the darkest I had read, but ya'll know me. I don't read super hard dark stuff. Yet. Hehe.
It was, as a whole, a beautifully written story. It was intense, and I was so confused (in a good way!) for most of the book. By confused, I mean I wanted to hate Q, but I couldn't. Oh yes, another love/hate thing going on right here.
It all starts when Tess Snow takes a trip to Mexico with her boyfriend, Brax, to celebrate their two year anniversary. Life was good. She was in love, content. Happy
And then she was stolen and sold. Now, the shit she goes through before being sold? That was one of the worst parts for me.I mean the most sad to read. Oh, you know what I mean!
BUT! Tess blossoms. Gone is the scared girl, here is strong, fierce warrior Tess who is determined that she may be cracked, but she sure as fuck isn't broken! ^^total happy dance moment when she comes to this decision!**
Her new master is odd. He has secrets, just not the ones you would expect. He's used to receiving broken women. He sure as hell doesn't expect Warrior Tess. Totally just gave her a new name right there. Oops. Back to it! Q tells Tess exactly how it's gonna go..
“My role as your master is to debase you to the point of having no feelings, no emotions, no hopes or dreams”
Tess refuses to believe anything anyone tells her. She's positive her Master is a monster. Turns out, there are worse things lurking outside her new prison than inside. Of course, shes saved! And then..a whole new light is shone on her current life.
“Q was no longer the devil.He was my master and I belonged to him.”
Everything Tess thought she knew, turns out to be, well, wrong. Okay, so Q's totally screwed, and wants to hurt her. Bad. But! He isn't really the monster she first thought. Although..it can't be said that he isn't maybe just a little bit monster. MmHm. I refuse o say more on the subject! Because it would spoil it. And really, you need to read this for yourself to get the real feel of it. Reviews do not do this justice!
Strong writing, extremely emotional in some places, and again, it isn't for everyone. But I strongly recommend this :)
5 stars!
