“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.

Malum: Part 1 is the fourth book in the Elite Kings Club series by author Amo Jones. This was the first book in the series that I have read, and I have to admit, I was a little confused. Overall, I was able to follow the storyline, but I didn’t understand the backstories. Therefore, I highly recommend starting the series from the beginning. I am planning on reading the first three books then going back to reread Malum: Part 1.

I have a weakness for dark stories, I guess it’s a bad boy thing. But you need to be aware that I wouldn’t necessarily call this book a romance. Also, there are many triggers within, and I strongly suggest that you read the author’s introduction at the beginning of the story.

Malum: Part 1 is heartbreaking, emotional, and utterly captivating. I was on the edge of my seat, trying desperately to hold on through all of the twists and turns. Let me tell you, the cliffhanger almost did me in! I’m not sure I’ll be able to wait for the next book! Thankfully, Part 2 is expected to be released in June 2019.

This is a definite add to your TBR list!

The first three books in the best-selling series The Elite Kings’ Club.

The Silver Swan: Book One
Riddle me this… “I am neither dead, nor alive, and I’m not something little Madison can hide. But you will be dead, by the time this is done… the timer starts now, and the games have just begun…” Madison Montgomery comes from money and power, but when someone close to her commits the ultimate crime, Madison must live with her tainted name for the rest of her life. When she begins Riverside Preparatory Academy, the private school her father has swept her into in The Hamptons, she hopes for a fresh start. What she wasn’t hoping for was the pack of bad boys who run the school; ten, to be exact. When Madison gains the attention of their leader, Bishop Vincent Hayes, a whole new world that she didn’t think existed is exposed to her. A whole world that starts and ends with The Elite Kings Club and these boys, are about to flip her world upside down. Secrets are overflowing and family lies are about to be exposed. Is there more to Madison Montgomery than even she knows?

The Broken Puppet: Book Two
“I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong.” The Silver Swan – 1. A girl who is tarnished. Tainted. One who does not fit into the confinement of legend. The Silver Swan -2. Madison Montgomery. I was lied to. I was cheated. Resigned to pick up the scraps of empty memories and disarrayed thoughts, I left. After finally cutting the strings of manipulation, I resorted to do what I’ve done since I was a child, something my father drilled into my brain since I could handle my first rifle. Run. I’m a mere shadow of the girl they all knew. Lies and deceit change you. They alter your entire outlook on life. I’m Madison Montgomery, and I want to play a game. Here’s what happens when I win. Riddle me this, Mads. What goes bump in the night, but is something you can’t see with sight? You may run, and you may hide. If by happily ever after, you mean Bonnie & Clyde.
