    That ending was superb! FABLE OF HAPPINESS, Book 3 is the twist worthy conclusion to the Fable Trilogy that we were waiting for with baited breath from the moment we experienced that cliffhanger from Book 2. The emotions! The drama! What a ride! I was consumed with every word and didn’t come up for air. What an utterly mind-boggling! It oozes with lust, love, desire, danger, sacrifice, power and control, and drags you deep into its darkness, intrigue and suspense that is all rolled up into one deliciously dark and twisted package. Pepper Winters know how to grab a reader in her clutches and keep them captivated with her storytelling. This is Kas and Gemma’s final story that is full of surprises—I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened, but it was jaw-dropping good! I loved it! Kas stole my heart in how he adapted and was protective of Gemma. Gemma was so strong that she was a force to be reckoned with. I am absolutely flippant over how fantastic this edgy, dark, and heart-stopping romance is. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what happened next. This story took me through several emotional gamuts and pushed all my buttons, boundaries. Kas and Gemma’s attraction and chemistry is so intense, alluring and mesmerizing, binding them to one another perfectly. What happens next? Well, read this amazing story and find out—you won’t regret it! Pepper Winters has constructed a deliciously dark romance that will lure you into the wee hours and beyond that you won’t be able to put this book down. This is a MUST READ, but you have to read Books 1 and 2 first.

    Book three was perfect conclusion to Kas and Gemma’s story!
    After emotional turmoil in previous book, this one is all about healing and happiness.
    The pacing was much slower, but it was fitting since Kas had lots of trauma and healing to go through. And with Gemma’s help and unconditional love, he finally started to overcome his past.
    Kas has come such a long way in this series and he deserved hapiness and hea with Gemma after everything he’s been through.
    The unexpected reunion at the end of this book hit me in the feels and I cannot wait for other stories in this series!

    This series was one of my favorite reads this year. I couldn’t help but completely fall in love with Kassen and I will definitely miss these two!
    It was beautifully written, emotional journey between two characters who share undeniable soul deep connection. It was filled with heartbreaking darkness but also so much hope, healing, and love. Another must read by this amazing author!

    First off, I read books one and two through a different forum but had to purchase the 3rd book here. No biggy. It was worth it. This story...omg...I don't even know what to say. Let me start by saying, it was perfectly written. So much detail and emotion. Which brings me to a conflicting feeling of disgust because of how detailed it is. I wanted to shower from being so repulsed by what I read. I wanted to know more but felt like vomiting from the thoughts being placed in my head. This story is dark. Very dark. Read with caution. The one thing I'd suggest to be added to the beginning of any chapter with entense detailed disgusting horror, is a warning ⚠️ that the next chapter contains graphic sexual child abuse. Because holy damn, I almost through my phone and stopped reading this book a few times. BUT it all ends so beautifully. So many tears I shed. It is a fantastic spicy love story.

    Fables of Happiness by Pepper Winters book 3
    Gemma's frantic search for Kas takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon someone else who exudes an aura of danger, even greater than Kas himself. Who is this mysterious figure, and what role does he play in the past evils of the fable mansion? Kas, sensing trouble, explodes into action when he witnesses the stranger laying his hands on Gemma, only for him to realize the shocking truth about the mysterious man's identity. As revelations surface, Kas is forced to confront his tumultuous past all while the fate of Jareth hangs in the balance. Amidst the chaos, Kas reluctantly accepts Gemma's help, allowing her to lead him back into society, albeit with its complications and regulations. Can Kas adapt to this new reality, or will he remain a constant threat? Gemma’s continuous kindness and resilience, become an unexpected source of support for Kas, even though she questions her sanity. Kas rediscovered his self-worth with each small victory, inching towards a brighter future. Yet, the scars of his past still haunt him, leaving him to wonder if he'll ever find true healing, or if Fang, his enigmatic companion, holds the key to his redemption. This was the perfect finish for Kas and Gemma’s story. And while it has ended, we are left to wonder about the children from the fable mansion and what happened to them. Will Jareth become their savior, and is there any hope for the man who seems too far gone to care?

    I’m hoping that’s not the end cuz I need to know more. Truely an awesome boom and series. The mental health side of it was so good storyline the struggles Kas has and how it’s not easily overcome. This was not a feel good tale and that’s the reason why I loved this series. It raw it’s wild it honest. Pepper so glad my sister recommended you. Thanks for a dark twisted ride.

    Book 3 left me with a lot of different feelings.
    Frustration, tears and swooning. I hoped/expected Kas would join Jarethat least a bit in the search for his siblings, and things between him and Gemma went too smooth. I expected more drama there in their attempt to a normal life with so much trauma. That being said, the storyline continued amazing, with the path of recovery and a lot of tears with the gala. Allthough I really missed some insight in Kas' abduction and (foster)parents this book is still worth 5 stars. Maybe more details from his past will be revealed in Monsters?

    5.0 out of 5 stars I'm only hungry for more Fables!!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2021
    This is the end of Kassen and Gemma, and I was not ready for this. I seriously need all the stories in this word SO BAD!!! I read this slowly, dragging it out as much as possible. And I love every agonizing second of it.

    The book picks up exactly where it left off at the end on the 2nd book. Jareth..... Aaaahh, I CANNOT WAIT FOR HIS STORY because it was obvious that the darkness lurking in him and demons swimming around inside his soul were darker and more evil than anything Kas has showed over the course of this trilogy and I'm here for it!!!!

    The dynamics obviously changed once Jareth entered that godforsaken valley but the story flowed so fast and so hard that everything changed in he blink of an eye. It was exhilarating to watch the events unfold and help add to the passion and connection between Gemma and Kassen.

    I knew this being the final book, that the happy ending was in sight, but what made it so much sweeter was the journey that was overloaded with all the feels that make your soul both cry and fly free. The struggles and the hurdles these two had to overcome, ESPECIALLY my kind-hearted Kassen will bring you to your knees, only for their triumphs to lift you up and carry you on.

    I really don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I am going to leave it here and just urge you to pick this trilogy up if you haven't and be ready for your whole being to be shaken.

    I seriously need the rest of the kids' story and I know I have to wait but honestly, I'm champing at the bit for more Fable tales.
