Malum

Genesis (@whisperingchapters)

You find three types of love in your lifetime. The first will show you all that you did wrong. The second will show you how you should be loved, but the third will show you what it feels like to die while still being alive.

“Love is savage, love is blind, love is something they may not find…”

Don’t let Nate’s pretty face fool you, though. The devil furnishes his darkest souls with the prettiest smiles.

"Regardless of what kind of monster you think I am, Tillie, and make no mistake, I can be a fucking monster, I never let that side of me touch you. Ever. However, if I find out that you’re hiding something from me, that side won’t just touch you, it will annihilate you."

“Your games aren’t going to work on me, Nate. I’m not one of your preppy princesses. You can’t break what you didn’t build.”

“You didn’t break me, Nate. I was damaged when you found me, you just inflicted more scars.”

Boys like Nate are lethal, because you fall for their charm, their jokes, and their beautiful faces. By the time you find yourself lost in their darkness with their demons lurking around you, it’s too late. They suck you in with charisma and spit you out with sin.

Sex is something I can’t live without—I use it as a way to mask a lot of my issues.

I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon, I was raised by blood sodden knives, and girls like me, we learn to use them as weapons. Love shouldn’t be offered up as a gift to just anybody, it should be preserved and used as a weapon to protect our heart.

Strength is a muscle. You exercise it enough, you become a big motherfucker.

"Love is savage, love is blind, love is something they may not find..."Once upon a time, there was a young girl who lived in a battered trailer, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. One day, she fell down The Elite Kings' rabbit hole. Sucked into a dark vortex of lies, hate, and deceit, and spat out by money, glitz, and power.There were things this little girl didn't know, things she was about to find out and secrets that have been kept from her. Those secrets were guarded by the boys that were about to smash her world open and tear it all apart...He may be a Malum, but she is a Stuprum, born into this world but neglected by the choice of her mother. Her eyes may not glisten with stars, but they roar with fire, and when she finally reaches her peak, it's that same fire that will burn. Them. All. Down. My name is Tillie Stuprum, and my story is not like the rest.Everything she thought she knew is a fabricated version of the truth. I'm Nate Riverside-Malum, the one your girl whispers about to her friends and whose initials are scratched down your back. Her story is not like the rest of them, because her story is dead.

Man, this book hurt my soul! I knew Nate and Tillie would be like this (I got a warning), but I still wasn't prepared!

I seriously love this series. The world that these guys live in, and the guys themselves is great.
I also love the girls, both Tillie and Madison.
What distracts me a little is the all over the nature of the book. There’s always a lot happening, a lot of movement, and half conversations. Just for once, I’d like for things to stay still.
I’m also majorly confused with all the new character additions. It makes me wonder why some of the characters from the original trilogy exist if they’re not really going to do anything.
Still, this is a great addition to the series, despite its flaws. I’m a little disappointed with what happened with Bishop and Madison, but I’m hopeful there’s a reason for it and will be explained soon.
Brantley in this book is awesome and I can’t wait to read his story!!
This book is dark, and definitely needs to be read after part 1, so get into that, then this!

Malum 2 is a twisted, gut wrenching tale of family, loyalty and love. This book is an epic page turner, easily my favorite in the series thus far. If you gave up before getting here, man did you screw up. 

You learn so much about the Elite world by the end that you feel as though you’ve ran a marathon. Because you did. Your brain ran through a marathon of emotion, sorrow and information. At the end of reading Malum 2, I felt as mind fucked as the characters do. I had to sit back and process it. Then I grinned.

Nate and Tillie go through the amount of angst that no couple should have to, not in a normal world, but they don’t live in a normal world. My chest was clenched so tightly at times with worry for them. Their story is tragic and messy and just plain hurtful. It doesn’t drown them though, it makes them stronger. It solidifies a bond that even though at times is Tillie and Nate’s heaviest burden to bear, it cements them in their destiny. 

The Elite Kings, and most importantly the Elite Queens, have stolen a place so deep in my heart with this series. Amo Jone’s words cut deep, they leave you ragged. But then she passes you a glass of whiskey and says “cheers bitch, you’ve made it through, but we’re not done yet.” and you gladly accept.

Amo Jones is the queen of dark romance and amazing unexpected twists. I was so engrossed in Nate and Tillie story I did not see the biggest twist ever. The angst is heavy, push and pull with them. Madison and Bishop are still breaking my heart. I am in love with Brantley and so ready for his story. Series must be read in order 4/5 Loved It.
