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?
About this book:
I need to admit something right now. The Silver Swan is f*cked. It might be the most insane story I've ever written with equally insane characters. Who knew? You know, when I started this book, it was supposed to be YA. I wanted to write a book that my sisters could read. A book that won't have people look at my mum like "damn... what sort of messed up shit happened to your kid?". The angst, the assholeness, the games, the f**kery, the

WHAT THE F**KING F**K ARE YOU DOING???!!!...
I cannot even.... anyway, this is a warning (and the only one I'll give you). It's crazy. I don't compare my work to my others, but this book is f**ked. It will most likely stomp all the f**k over people's hard limits (and not give a sh*t while it's doing it) and will make you second guess all the morals you thought you had.
This most definitely is not looking like a love story right now... more like a..... I don't even....*shakes head* anyway, I apologise now. You asked for it..........
THE SILVER SWAN:
Is the first full length New Adult novel in Amo Jones ‘Elite Kings Club’ series.
Newly arrival in town, its seventeen year old Madison (aka Madi) Montgomery’s first day at ‘Riverside Preparatory Academy. “My dad moved us across state, because he found ‘the one.’ I’m beginning to think he can’t count. This would be his third ‘the one’ since my mum’s passing.” It seems her past has followed her. Everyone’s heard the whispers, she’s the girl whose mum murdered her dad’s girlfriend before topping herself off.
So she’s beyond surprised when she’s befriended by a girl named Tatum, she also catches the eye of Bishop, the ring leader of the ‘Elite Kings Club.’ No one knows much really about the club only that apparently it has something to do with blood and their family linage. “They’re like this undercover exclusive club. No one really knows what happens in this club, or who all the members really are, but it has to do with blood and your family lineage, apparently.”
Tatum warns Madi to stay as far away from them as possible. You don’t mess with these guys. These guys are shrouded in darkness. You can feel it seeping out of their pores. They are dangerous. Never to be trusted. Never let your guard down around them.
So many questions
So many empty answers
So many promises
So many lies
They all started adding up!!

By a phone call she receives by her father, she learns that her fathers new bride’s son Nate will be moving into the manor, he attends the same school as Madi, it also seems like he’s part of the exclusive club. So for Madi to stay away from these boys was going to be near impossible.
The Silver Swan packed a lot of punch for the length, without me realising it I was hooked, as soon as I started this I couldn’t put it down, lately I’ve been binge reading highschool teen novels and this hit the right spot, without a second thought I purchased the next book.
Whilst reading this you could feel something lurking in the background awaiting the right moment to pounce, to take you unawares, the suspense, the cat and mouse games these A-wholes played just intrigued my interest even more. The angst levels spiked more each chapter. I wasn't sure where the author was going to lead me because answers were never given to us freely, like a puzzle we had to piece it together with the tidbits the author gave us.
Then BAM the last chapter was a whole plot twist
THE BROKEN PUPPET BOOK#2
“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.

THE BROKEN PUPPET:
Is the second full length New Adult novel in Amo Jones ‘Elite Kings Club’ series.
I apologize for this vague review it's only because I don't want to divulge any spoilers to ones that haven't gotten around to reading this. I highly recommend this series!!
Unique, Unpredictable, Unputdownable. Ultra addictive!!
As we saw in the last chapter of ‘The Silver Swan’ Madi is running for her life with Tatum in tow, new names, new passports, destinations unknown. All in the name of disappearing without a trace, or so they thought, leaving the ‘Elite Kings Club.’ behind.
Or so she thought. They used me as their Puppet. Now I'm broken. But Bishop's know where she's been all along, he was just biding his time to come get her and bring her back to where she belongs.
If Bishop didn't come get you, someone else would have, only you wouldn't be coming home in a seat on a plane. You'd be coming home in a box.
In 'The Broken Puppet' we learn more about 'The Book'
Khales who was supposedly Bishop's first girlfriend who out of the blue disappeared
And a new character Daemon who is closely connected to Madi and is part of 'The Lost Boys'
And still humming away in the background is the disappearance of Tillie who we met in the first book.
I kind of devoured Book#1 which basically threw me over a cliffy and I kind of need answers, one clicked the boxset so yay to binge reading!!
So much is packed into these books, my mind is all over the place, all questions I need answers to, just keep piling up!! We’re very similar to Madi in a sense, because just like her we’re trying to piece everything together to understand the world she’s learning about just like us, chapter by chapter. 🧩Puzzle piece by puzzle piece. Like we’re moving through a blanket of fog.
And then yet another cliffy that has left me reeling in it’s wake, rubbing my eyes wondering wtf I’d just read!!
Book by Book anticipation races through my body, darkness is building up in the background, you can feel it getting darker and darker. Lies are slowing getting revealed, book by book. Information is coming at us more freely but we're still left with so many questions.
This author has done a brilliant job at keeping us readers on our toes. Like a carrot dangled in front of our noses just giving us a piece to keep us invested in the series, keeping us coming back for more. Like a yoyo my mind is scrambled with all the information that's been thrown at it, but through it all we see a softer side of Bishop peak through and I love seeing the transformation compared to the first book.
Now onto the next book!!

TACET A MORTUIS
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 f*ck is going on at Riverside,
I think, I think... everyone is about to die....

TACET A MORTUIS :
Is the third full length New Adult novel in Amo Jones ‘Elite Kings Club’ series.
That ending in ‘The Broken Puppet’ had me reeling, scratching my head trying to unravel the words I’d just read. Everything I thought I knew just like Madi was a lie. The only thing I can say with this series is keep your wits about you and expect the unexpected because no body knows what this author is going to throw at you, and that’s what made this one such a thrilling ride!!
So we had people arriving back from the dead
One boy who we'd fallen in love with didn't make it
Lies and deceit still walked hand in hand
Tillie yet again goes missing
Such an intricate series, even I struggled to break it down, separate tales branching off but interwoven and come back to make a full story. So many new insights into the storyline, slowly it all came together. Twists and turns that had my heart pumping, this was very cleverly done, god this author has come such a long way, her story telling and her use of words, how effortlessly she has us the readers eating out of the palm of her hand, the storyline it all just captures you as soon as you start reading her written words.
I'm done!! My head is just about to explode. This series, godamn this series put me through it's paces, the good, the bad and the f#cking ugly!!
So to sum it up the previous two books didn't really hit me in the feels, AT ALL!! I was too focused on trying to work out what in the hell was happening!!
BUT this one did, it came at me like a bat swinging and hit me right in the heart, they came at me out of nowhere. The angst, the feels, the heart break, the love I feel for these characters though it did take some time to connect to these guys in the end they wormed their way into my heart that I'm kind of at that stage where I don't want this series to end.
There is just so much packed into these books that to even try and comprehend it into a mere sentence can not be done.
If you've not read this series go and buy the box set and do what I did, binge read these back to back, sit back, turn off life and get your read on!!

Amo Jones is a small country girl totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic. She's a profound work-a-holic, but when she's not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & partner at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.
New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.
