One thought on “Red Days and Grey Nights”

1. Pepper is an attractive young woman from Britain who is kidnapped while on a Caribbean holiday with her friends Her kidnapper is a sadistic and cruel criminal who runs the main sex slave operation on the island From the first few pages of the book I was rooting for Pepper and found the very many descriptions of what happened to her and the other victims a very difficult read There is much to empathise with Pepper about but that would spoil the plot.The villain, Don, is a most despicable man who [...]

2. In short Red Days and Grey Nights is a deceptively simple concept for revenge against a sex trafficker that benefits from solid character development.I ll admit that this isn t something I normally go out of my way to find Revenge or justice stories don t often appeal to me, for some reason Maybe it s because the way they set up how much the antagonists have it coming to them, I feel too comfortable knowing that there will be poetic justice by the end But that s no fault of the author Mr Collier [...]

5. This was a difficult book to get through, and not because of the subject matter, but because it was just not a good book And I hate to say that I wanted to find something good in this book, something that I liked, but I just couldn t.I was excited going into this book, because the plot seemed interesting, and in capable hands, it would ve been a very good read, but unfortunately, it just wasn t The characterization was random and all over the place, and none of the characters were likable, not [...]

6. I d recommend this book to readers who enjoy gritty thrillers and are ok with moderate to high violence The book is split into two parts In the first half Pepper is snatched while on holiday and kept captive with a group of other women as a sex slave Some harrowing scenes but also displays of the power of friendship in extreme situations Some interesting incidents of dissociation into fantasy worlds as a coping mechanism Pepper finally escapes to Paris with the help of one of her clients who int [...]

8. Red Days and Grey Nights as a title may be somewhat of a misnomer Neither of these colors is really dark in fact, red can be very bright But this novel is dark It s as dark as they come.Sex slavery is not an easy subject to read or discuss Some books that deal with this subject matter are solely revenge thrillers, with the abused violently dispatching the morally corrupt in a frantic plot driven pace.Fair criticisms of this novel can be its pace which is slow and the choosing of scenes long conv [...]

10. From reading the blurb, I thought this would be a book about a mother fighting to get her child back The blurb gives us all the information we need about Pepper, the main character Unfortunately, the first 270 pages are a lengthy and detailed backstory dump of the blurb For me, this killed all the tension because I already know what happens It s not like the author needed these pages to reach novel length, either The book has twice the word count of the typical thriller novel The second half the [...]

11. British college student Pepper Phillip s Caribbean vacation turned into one long living nightmare when she was abducted into the sex slave trade To make things even worse, she was secretly pregnant at the time Perhaps surprisingly, the captors allowed Pepper to carry her child, Lili, to term.This epic novel covers much about the horrors of the forced sex trade, under the direction of an evil man known as Don However, as we see later on in this sad saga, Don is not the only force to be reckoned [...]
