Descriere

n From New York Times Bestselling Author Penelope Sky comes a darkly twisted tale of debt, repayment, and violence. Follow Pearl's story of betrayal, damnation, and redemption, as she struggles to overcome her situation and growing feelings for her captor, Crow. I owe him a debt. A big one. The payment can't be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he'll let me go.

Being a fan of the dark, this definitely ticked all the right boxes for me. -Goodreads Reviewer I read A LOT of books and this series will always be my favorite. Crow and Pearl. I fell in love with both of them. Penelope Sky knows how to develop her characters and does it very well. The story never gets boring. This would make a great mini-series for television! -Amazon Reviewer Good golly, Miss Molly! At first, I was apprehensive about reading this book, but ... it is truly a work of art. When I find a book that's this good I end up staying awake till 4 in the morning because I just can't put it away till my hubby makes me. This book makes you a little stronger and gives worth to the reason why you should never stop fighting for yourself. I would recommend it to anyone. -Amazon Reviewer Trigger Warning: Not for the faint of heart. nI owe him a debt. A debt that can't be settled with money or favors. There's only one thing he wants-me.
