Irredeemable is the new title for Cutter. No content has changed.
One year … yes.
Just yes.
It’s stupid. I know better. To say yes means there is never a chance to say no. I won’t control anything in my life, least of all how I live. This one word utterly takes over, and I no longer know where to turn for help. My release, my painful savior the blade, is now gone. All that remains is Demari Sestra.
He always gives me a chance, a moment before the darkness to walk away. I can, I know it, but I never do. It leaves no one to blame but me.
Rani, I once warned you the world would break you if you let it.
Maybe I should have followed my own advice.
Note from the authors: Irredeemable was previously published as Cutter and no content has changed. While Irredeemable can be read as a standalone, the pieces may fall in place easier if Irrepairable is read first. Unlike Irrepairable, this is not a reverse harem, academy, or bully romance. Simply put, Allie’s story is dark, twisted, and might make even the darkest hearts cringe. Remember this: most topics in the book are real-life occurrences and will evoke strong feelings. Proceed with caution and know you have been warned.

Addiction, Relief, Survival, HOPE
If you have triggers, be careful when reading this book. This story is DARK, so very dark. The pain and horror Allison endured went way past my ability to comprehend. Yet through the darkness, we see love and hope and acceptance.
Allie comes from a background with a criminal, perverted father and a totally cowed and psychologically bereft mother. Her terror began in her childhood, way before she became a teenager. How do you cope with emotional depravity, unyielding sexual training and severe punishments? What do you do when pain becomes too hard for your mind to handle? Allie found relief through cutting.
Demari coaxes Allison into a contract for 1 full year. A contract that would hopefully stir her forgotten memories and free her from her past traumas; a contract that would allow her to overcome her buried pain and live a new life full of forgiveness and love. It would be a contract that will free the beautiful, inner Allison. All she has to do is accept!
This story broke me..and then put me back together again.
There are many triggers in this book so please follow the warning.
People are referring to this book with the abuse being horrible and scary, and it is. But when I read this story I feel Allison’s pain and anguish over what she has endured. But I also feel hope for the good people in this world, like Demari, because he see Allison beyond that and sees her potential. And I see Allison as having a future if she just faces her past and deals with the little girl and the monsters
The storyline has dark, dirty, and very serious moments. But the focus is not on the abuse, the focus is on hope, love, and good family.
I felt angry at times, reading this book, but the I felt the caring and passion of Allison’s chosen family. They protected her and fought for her and lifted her back towards the good. I felt so much love in this book that it made me literally cry.
Well done ladies! 6 beautiful bright stars
Wow this one was a very intense read. Allie this girl I don’t know how she became the woman that she was even with that dark past that to be honest I need to read the first one of this series to grasp what she went through. But the pieces I saw of her in this story were dark and very hard parts to see and hear. I like that even with the problems all the darkness she was still a caring and loving person to put others before her own needs. I’m glad that she could tell her story and find that happiness that she so much deserved to have.
“In the darkness, we find light.”
Addictive … that’s the first word that comes to mind as I remember opening this book and promptly being sucked in.
It’s SO REAL, as someone who sadly can relate to Allie a bit too much and is very familiar with some of her inner dialogue … yet it still manages to serve as an escape at times, though I’m not sure that makes sense.
It had the ability to both put me back IN some of the situations, but also view them from the outside. I’m not sure if that makes sense either but the writing is profoundly powerful.
Anyone with demons in their past: if you can get past the violence and manage to not be triggered by what is some very sensitive content, in other words: IF YOU LET IT, it can be mind-opening, even helpful, at times, to experience Allie’s immersion therapy. Her delving into her own suppressed memories, confronting them, working through them and then finding a way forward is completely inspirational.
So it manages to be an extremely powerful, thought-provoking experience while providing more insight into the Pinnacle world and introducing all that is Allie. Masterfully done.
The ending was predictable but it fits well with the people involved and again just have to admire the brilliant writing, as I did many times. (Yea, I literally had to just stop and appreciate it at times throughout.)
Cover: Professional and very fitting.
Editing/proofing: Overall good. A few incidents of a misplaced tense or missing letter or punctuation but none of this was abundant nor served to distract from the reading experience. No continuity issues noted within this book itself or for the Pinnacle Heirs world overall. Very well done.
4.5 stars.
Raw despair volition and evil was Allison Masters life. This book won’t be for everyone please read the warnings and triggers before reading.
Although many times I found myself unable to hold back on Allie’s past as it is revealed its beyond dark in parts.
As the title suggests Cutter is a book about Allison and how she has tried to cope with her demons that still effects her today through her actions and conditioned behaviours that have enabled her to survive so far.
Demaria Sestra offers Allie a 12 month contract to which she must turn herself to Demari total control to him so he can help her to heal from her past and her current downward spiral. Like a 12 step program of sorts. After much consideration Allison signs the legal binding non disclosure contract. Suddenly her life is not her own removed from the outside world she finds her hidden secrets and discovers the truth behind the lies.
This is a very dark at times disturbing read through Allison Masters and her journey to what she hopes will be a better life.
Where to begin, oh where to begin…
If you like dark and can handle triggers, this is your book; but please, PLEASE heed the warning and enter at your own risk. This book is dark, almost pitch black but in such a different way.
I will admit, freely and honestly, it took me quite a long time to finish this story because I had to put it down, multiple times. Its raw, its real, its dark, but it’s also is beyond beautiful.
I LOVED the first book in this series, Irrepairable. It was my favorite read of 2019. This story is just as wonderful, but also completely different.
In this story we get a more in-depth look at what Allie has been through and how it has impacted her life and psychology. The darkness in this book comes from that place. The darkness a person can go through, can survive in, and the darkness one carries with them after such experiences. I cried reading the book (many times in fact) because I wanted to hold Allie, explain to her she is worth more then her mind tells her, more then she has been treated and I praise Demari for his help.
Without giving anything more away, let me just say this book is focused on Allie and her path to becoming whole once again. The path is not easy, or nice, or clean, or friendly, or light, I caring, or pleasant but it is worth it. So very much worth it.
As much as I loved Rani and her men, Allie and Demari have stolen my heart. This book may be set in the same world but it is beyond book one in so many ways.
Utterly Beautiful. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review. I also bought this book and will be getting the paperback as well.
Allie has A LOT of demons to face. Lucky for her, or maybe not so much, Demari is there with his version of a 12 step plan to guide her through.
Not gonna lie I felt like I walked off the edge of a plank, and was free falling through a spiral of emotions. Hatred. A burning rage. Utter despair. Glee. Madness. An absolute melee of all the things a human should feel, but in such a short amount of time that I was crashing. And it was INCREDIBLE.
We got to reunite with Rani & the Pinnacle heirs, learn how their stories all really intertwine.
Definitely dark. Like DARK.
Cutter
Cutter, co-written by LeTeisha Newton and Ginger Talbot is an all consuming, enthralling and at times, utterly heartbreaking read. It is set in the world of the Pinnacle Heirs but Irrepairable doesn’t need to be read first to enjoy this story.
It is a glimpse into a world of pain and anguish, and into a mind, shattered by trauma, abuse and self-harm.
The story centres around the beautifully broken, Allison. Allison is fierce and protective of the ones she loves, whilst also being ravaged by self loathing and very unique desires. Demari, solid, quietly dominating and scarily all consuming, appears, offering Allison things that she doesn’t truly believe she can ever have. Peace, acceptance and an end to her addiction. What lengths will she have to go to, to achieve her goals? And what does Demari get in return?
The writing in the story is clever and broaches harrowing trauma sensitively. It was at times, deeply sensual and alive with passion whilst other parts of the story left me feeling bereft and heartbroken for our characters.
A truly intense dark romance.
This is the second book in the Pinnacle Heirs book and for best enjoyment, I do recommend reading them in order. Demari and Allie’s chemistry is off the charts hot. The story if fast-paced and intense and may cause triggers for some. Amazing characters with lots of layers and a story with lots of drama, emotion and twists and turns. I loved it!
Read this whenever you need to be completely torn apart … but also put back together.
To say this story is dark is an understatement. The horror and pain Allison endured is more than I can take. To read about her fight against her addiction was absolutely mind-boggling. So many emotions. So very intense. Demari came to her rescue! Very well written! Very well told!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems.
Not for everyone…
I have to say, I liked the first book in this series much better. This one is a lot of inner dialogue and trauma regression, not to say that’s a bad thing, it’s just not MY thing. It’s written well and Allison is a strong character but I didn’t really connect with D.
This is a very dark read and if that’s not your thing I would say pass on this book. It’s very descriptive of sexual child abuse and will be triggering for some readers. If you can handle that then this is a good read for you, as I said while it might not be my cuppa, it’s still written very well.
When I first started reading this book, I felt lost not knowing some of the background. Once I got through that part and really got into the storyline with Allison and Demari, I was hooked. Yes, this an extremely dark twisted read with sick and perverted situations. While I wanted to know more about Demari’s character, we still get a feel for him. Allison is such a strong damaged character, it was amazing to see her come out on top. While it was an unorthodox method to help her heal, it was interesting to read. I thought about my daughter the whole time reading this. She use to cut not for the same issues that Allison did thank goodness! Overall great read despite the dark topic. I can wait to read book 3 in this series as well as going back to read book 1.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Irredeemable is so heartbreaking. You will feel the pain that Allison had to endure as a child into her teens. She’s a warrior who survived with the help of Demari.
Demari helps Allison on her journey to recover her past memories that she has locked away in her mind.
There could be triggers for some.
Thank you Hidden Gems and the author for a digital copy. Read and reviewed voluntarily and the opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
This read was STRONG and DARK, like really dark. It had touche the topics that made my skin crawl as it was something that I would never have imagined HOM much Allie was broken by the past events. It will be something that this story concentrates on and it have TRIGGERS! Be warned!
I liked this story more than book one and i have high hopes for the next book.
Cutter is the second book in The Pinnacle Heirs series by Ginger Talbot and LeTiesha Newton. Unlike Irrepairable, this book is not a reverse harem and can be read by itself, although you will enjoy it a lot more if you start with book #1.
This is Allie’s story. In Irrepairable, it hinted that her life hadn’t been all sunshine and Rose’s, but this book really gets into it and shows how damaged she is. There are a lot of parts that hurt my heart to read, but after I finished I was really glad I kept.
This is in intensely intriguing emotional dark romance.
This is the second book in the Pinnacle Heirs series and while it’s not necessary to read Irreparable (book one) to understand this story I believe you should read it before reading this book. It just brings the story together better in my opinion.
Allie is still just barely living from day to day after everything that has happened in her life. She cuts herself to cope when things get to difficult. Allie tries to separate herself from Rani so that Rani can have the HEA she deserves with her men. In doing so, Allie starts working for Sestra Holdings, Inc. She then finds herself being targeted by the same type of predator from her past and she feels herself slipping back into her old routines. Then while cutting herself to cope with the stress she is caught by Demari Sestra, the owner of Sestra Holdings. She thinks he’s going to fire her, but instead he offers her a deal; give him one year of her life and he will make sure she never cuts again. But what does he want in return? He says he wants nothing, but Allie has learned no man can be trusted. Will Demari cure Allie of her obsession to cut? Or will he make her obsessed for something far more frightening???? This is an intensely intriguing dark romance, that is definitely not for the faint of heart. I was drawn in from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down until the very last word was read!!! Definitely a must read for all dark romance lovers out there!
I absolutely fell in love with this book. Finding out that Allie Cat has the issues she has, gutted me. This story was dark and will definitely make you look at sexual abuse in a whole new light. It is full of triggers but if you can handle those, I totally recommend this read.
5 Stars for a Heart-wrenching Dark Story!
This was a fabulous book with so many extreme emotions. It is immensely dark and I found myself cringing at times. Wondering how in the world this could ever turn out to be a HEA. It was definitely a page-turner. I loved Demari Sestra and Allie’s story. There is a lot of back story that is so important. Demari is handsome beyond words and Allie, although gorgeous, is beyond broken and I wondered if she could ever be fixed. Read it today, I would also read Irrepairable first to get the entire story.
This is a dark and emotionally impacting story that takes you down a rabbit hole of heartache and misery. You cannot feel anything but sorrow and shame while reading this. Shame on the people who are supposed to love and protect, shame where there are animals who don’t think people have value. But on the flip side family is not thru blood but thru experiences and love. They are who we let in and allow in our lives. I was fascinated by these authors who can tell such a moving and emotional story in a way that leaves you thinking and wanting to make a difference. Well done ladies.
