Amo Jones

Hail to the king, and watch him reign, this game was somewhat fun, until the finale came…

Now we’re here, with carnage and despair, and the only questions left to answer, are the ones that do not appear...

A king loses a war, and a swan sheds her wings, chaos collides with peace, as the crows begin to sing…

Enter if you dare, because I swear the end is near, but nothing is as it seems, and everything is so bare.

So what the hell is going on at Riverside,
I think, I think... everyone is about to die....

“As graceful as a floating swan, but as deadly as a silver bullet.”

Wow. Wow. Wow.

UGH!! This book. 

I don’t know what to say here. Like, I really want to give this four stars because I loved books one and two and I enjoyed parts of this book. But I felt like I didn't live up to my expectations. The first half of the book was just like a retelling of books one and two and by the end it just felt like a rush to the finish line. I deeply wanted to love this book as much as I love the other two but I just can't. This book was just simply, okay. That’s all I have to say. Sorry for the short review, but I just am so disappointed.

I am still excited to read Malum: Part 1, Malum: Part 2 and Sancte Diaboli as well as any other books she has planned up her sleeves for The Elite King's Club Series. This one just didn't do it for me.

⭐⭐⭐

My brain is just… What the fuckery was that? I don’t have any more brain cells after this book. And apparently, things get even crazier after this. Like, how can it possibly get crazier?!

I absolutely love this series! I’m a great lover of YA and this is mature YA at its best.
I love the Society, and family, that has been built here.
The Kings are hot, but also kind of sweet and loving, which is a great juxtaposition.
Madison is sassy and Tate is a great balance for her.
What I loved most about this book is that we’re finally getting answers, as well as handy recaps, although I would recommend RE-reading the first books as well.

One thing that did bother me was up until about 60% through the editing was fine. A few inconsistencies but I could overlook them. Then the wheels started to fall off. I have had an issue with the editing in Amo’s previous book (I DNFed at 40%) and hope this is rectified before release.

Another thing that bothered me were some of the language choices. “dawg” and “throwing up duces” to me just didn’t fit, it seemed a bit try-hardish, as did the constant song references. They were great but I don’t think that many need to be included, shades of Drive here but nowhere near as meaningful or poignant.
Still, i loved this book and I’m glad it ended the way it did, even if there were less twists and turns that I was expecting.

This is the final book in Madison and Bishop's story. Holy *#$% this has been a wild ride! This series has so many twists and turns. I felt on the edge of my seat the whole time. Just when you think you have it all figured out.. nope! Bishop and Madison's chemistry is explosive and I loved watching their relationship, and their ability to let someone else in and feel, evolve. Excited to move on to Nate and Tillie next!

Oh.. and that deleted scene.. jeez 🥵

We really got to see the feels come out with the EKC boys in this third book. Although it’s the conclusion to “Madship”, Madison and Bishop’s POV, I feel connected to all of The Kings at this point. I once again listened and read this one and I really have to give credit to Lucy Rivers and Teddy Hamilton. They were excellent choices. Lucy demonstrated immense talent with the amount of detail needed in certain scenes.

Reading Bishop navigate his feelings of falling in love with Madison without knowing how that emotion feels is heart melting. Even more so because since he’s young, he’s truly never experienced it with anyone but Madison. His feelings run so deep and he loves so hard. Their intensity is tangible throughout the pages. Don’t get me wrong though, he is still an asshole and I am so glad he didn’t turn to complete mush for her. He had to make some tough decisions and he made the right ones, despite how his heart felt. 

At this point I’ve realized Amo has not just created a secret society but a secret kingdom. A secret, twisted kingdom with a new generation of a likes in which they have never seen in its ranks before. Yet at the same time you know it’s still so much bigger than them, there are still obstacles in their way to overcome. There are also major kick ass girl vibes that I was dying to see come to life. Lemme just say Bishop’s mom is my forever favorite. The ending leads you right into Nate and Tillie’s duet and trust me when I say you’re ready for their time now that it’s come.
