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.... anyway, I apologise now. You asked for it..… (more)

I'm left speechless with this read. And not in a good way. There were too many scenes, moments, hell even interactions that made me feel extremely uncomfortable and I was barely able to complete this read. The vulgarness of the Elite Kings were almost too much to bare and the weak heroine, who I loved in the beginning chapters, helped dwindle down my overall reading experience.

Ok. Apparently this happened to me once before reading Amp Jones. What you ask? The cramp in my eyes from rolling them constantly. Come on. This book is so close to being amazing. The idea is awesome, and I am dying for the next book even though I know it will piss me off. My issues are similar tot he last book I read by Ms. Jones. She likes head, I get it, but these boys seem to be gods of sex able to cause an orgasm with the swipe of a tongue. They all have giant junk and know how to use it. Mystery of the G Spot, not for these fellas. They continue to do weird antics that aren't explained other than that their will be answers to come. The biggest issue I have is the simplest one. Why the hell doesn't she finish the freaking book???!!! if you had a book that held the answers to all the questions about the effed up stuff happening in your life and the threat of death coming at every turn, how hard would it be to finish the darn book that has the answers to everything? But no, she leaves it under the bed and reads a few pages here and there. ( )

OMG, What did I just read I'm speechless here.



So I'm not gonna major rehash here as the blurb said loads.
I'm just gonna jump in and gave my overhaul on all that makes The Silver Swan (Elite Kings Club, #1) by Amo Jones some seriously sensational fiction. so here goes.
So we have our Madi here, a bit of an oddball, never quite fitting in, she comes complete with a shady past and a brand new step mum, who shes met exactly twice before.
Brand New student at the exclusive Riverside Prep school.
And also a Brand new stepbrother, The cheeky, cocky Nate.
Who daddy dearest has totally failed to mention.
And he then has the nerve to warn Madi to stay away from him as he thinks's he's trouble when he's the one that's left them both home alone together.
I mean he so deserves the shittiest dad award like for real.
And there are no parents like anywhere, I mean totally defunct are these caregivers to all the teenagers here.
These are some seriously sucky role models.



So Madi's new school comes complete with ten alpha kings, which her new Bro is one of.
The (Elite Kings Club) rumours abound about this exclusive privileged little boys club, they rule the school and Bishop is the leader of this little posse and he seems to have Madi in his crosshairs.
So first this is not YA, discount the characters ages, this is definitely aimed at Adults.
there is a bit of everything here, creepy-arse rhymes, intrigue, mystery and some super steamy sexual shenanigans.
Though there's no way teenagers are having sex like this if they are, where were these teenage gods when I was a youngster.
just an observation like, I won't be marking it down or anything for this, that would be like cutting off my nose to spite my face.
So discounting our Elite Kings god-like bedroom skills, there are some great characters here some I loved and some I loved to hate.
If I had to pick favourites then Nate would be a front-runner his cocky, arrogant but super protective vibe towards Madi just really got to me.
Her two friends Tatum and Tillie coming in a very close second.
Though it became apparent to me that Tillie knows more about things than she's been letting on.
At least that's the vibe I got from her near the end.
So, The finale here, oh boy that was a bit cliff-hangerey.



I mean I need my next fix of this fantastic series like now, so pleased I haven't got to wait as that would have seriously done my nut in.
As though we have some answers, there's no actual resolution here and everything is just so darn weird.
With no real explanations at all.
I'm really hoping the next book provides more clarification to events as I seriously can't stop thinking about this story and it's driving me literally insane.
On a final note, the cover of this book is so visually stunning that would be enough to give this a try alone.
So if you want a series that's going to fry your brain with questions give this a go its fiction at its finest and I devoured every word.

I really wanted to like this book, but it reminded me too much of the book [bc:Fear Me|24935412|Fear Me (Broken Love, #1)|B.B. Reid|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1423946283s/24935412.jpg|43070359]. The guy, or in the case guys, hate the girl because of who they think she is or what they think she has done. The bullying begins and the only explanation for is that I hate you, I have to hate you. As always, the victim falls for their tormentor(s). The book has too many similarities for me to fully appreciate what the author was trying to attempt. The sex scenes were hot.. just an added bonus. ( )
