- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019Darling, I'm in LOVE! I've got no words to explain my excitement about this book.
The Silver Swan by Amo Jones had been sitting on my kindle since forever and finally, I had the time to read this one.
If I knew how great this one was, I would have made the time to read it way earlier. It's that good.
This New Adult book captured my heart with its suspenseful storyline and intriguing characters.
Who doesn't love boys that flirt with danger and ooze power?
The Silver Swan by Amo Jones is much more than a five-star read and let me tell you why.
What makes this book worthy of the five stars is because of so many aspects. And the first one is for sure the storyline. Because honey, it's magnificent. A storyline filled with secrets and mysteries and of course our needed dose of romance. The Silver Swan is a story about Madison Montgomery. A teenage girl born in wealth, finds herself moving in with her father's new wife.
Along with the move came a new school. A private school for only the rich and the powerful and that's what they were. A dark rumor surrounds a group of boys. A group of handsome, sexy boys that belong to this club, a dangerous one. The Elite Kings Club consists of ten boys all twisted and mysterious. And the one leading the group might be even more dangerous.
Bishop Vincent Hayes, a born leader. One that oozes alpha and has a particular taste for all that is dark. And when Madison stepped inside that school she captured the attention of their king. But nothing in this book is as it seems because quite quickly Madison finds herself intertwined with their lives. And slowly but surely, these twisted boys bring the danger to her life as well.
"In this world, secrets are weapons, kitty. It's what stands between us and six feet underground."
A world filled with secrets, deception, and riddles. The Silver Swan is a book that gave me shivers from time to time on how scary it could get for the main character. I was completely sucked in the story and I found myself guessing along with Madison on what was going on. Amo Jones doesn't give away much, but simple hints and revelations. It's only until the end you find out almost everything. And this is when you'll have your mouth wide open and ready to dive into the second book.
This story is thrilling and keeps you on the tip of your toes from the beginning on. The build-up is wonderful and when it's acted out by the characters created by Amo Jones it becomes an unforgettable read. I feel like I can't give you much more about the storyline because it's something you need to experience for yourself. Go in blind and fall in love.
Another great aspect of the book is the characters. There are many, but quickly it becomes clear which ones get the spotlight in this story. And I loved all of them even when they could be ... cruel. Madison was portrayed as a tomboy. She's in love with sports, shooting and not scared easily, but at the same time, she held so many insecurities. And her match she found in Bishop.
Bishop was extremely alluring to me. This bad boy with secrets so deep he would do everything to keep them hidden. He's wicked, manipulative and of course extremely sexy. And while Madison thought she was vanilla, when she met Bishop she fell in love for other tastes, if you know what I mean. They were hot. Some of these scene in this book made me blush because well... they were kind of spicy.
I loved the way their relationship worked. It's different and way more complicated than you could imagine which made it extremely interesting to read about. It wasn't perfect and in the first book you don't get everything a normal romance book promises you, but thank God, this one has a second one. I'm not nearly done with these two.
I dare you to try not to fall in love with this book. The Silver Swan is filled with secrets and a storyline so hypnotizing it demands to be read in one sitting. An ending that makes you yearn for the next book, The Broken Puppet already. Furthermore, you get the chance to experience a love story that will stay with you for a long time. And let's not forget, it's a book filled with hot, dangerous, bad boys!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023I'm going to be honest here. Bully romance is not my fave, in fact I stay far, far away from this trope forever. Having read complete cheesy duds in the past, and very popular ones too,I struggled with the logistics and authenticity in them.
So I was reluctant to read the The Elite Kings' Club Box Set but I'd purchased special hardcovers from her in Book Bonanza and I didn't wanna waste them. Hence bought audio books.
**don't look for logic in my book buying maths**
Let me start by saying that Lucy rivers is a good narrator, just not for dark romance. Her tone doesn't change for any character and doesn't portray any emotion other than a flat monotone.
Her seething in anger, smirking with smugness, or whispering with passion undertones are indistinguishable one from the other.
When changing characters, her voice still remains the same. She only did full justice to Tatum imo.
Now the story which started with typical high school struggles of entitled, rich bratty kids. Overabundance of luxuries and money, they hardly work or strive to work hard for anything.
But they are battling with a separate kind of dark past on their own.
Their legacy consists of unaliving, abuse and violence and it bears like a boulder on their backs
The sons shall pay for the sins of their fathers is the central theme.
"I look forward to watching you break in my very hands."
The first half moves slowly.
The posse of Bishop, Nate, Jase, Ace, Hunter, Brantley, Cash, Saint, Eli, Abel and Chase. known as Elite Kings of Riverside Prep are a force to be reckoned with. Getting all girls to swoon at their feet, big mansions, fast cars....you get the picture.
But as Nate gets a stepsister in Madison Montgomery, she tries to sound different.
Pretty soon she's enticed into the web of deceit.
The games EKC are playing with her, in particularly Bishop Vincent Hayes
“I am neither dead, nor alive, and I’m not something little Madison can hide.
But you will be dayd, by the time this is done...
the timer starts now, and the games have just begun…”
Of characters, Madison is dumb as a rock. Tatum is far more colourful. Tilly is a mystery and the librarian Amy intriguing.
Bishop seems more layered and deep. Nate a typical bad boy. Rest haven't been developed much yet.
The story lacks depth at this point but then its book 1 of 6 so it's understandable
Up until now the story has been pretty cheesy.the only seriously sensational part has been Madison reading the Untitled Book from the library. Then end is the best part as it reveals one layer of the secret.
I'm going to go read/listen book two cause I've already downloaded it to see if it does stand apart.
If not, I'll quit after book two.
Whaddya say?
4 stars for The room with a hole in the ceiling

- AlexSilvaReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars An all consuming, gripping and quirky romance that'll leave you begging for more...
I was introduced to Amo Jones by Shannon (you'll get to know her a bit better as our guest reviewer very soon), who told me that - quote: 'You need to come to the dark side!' And screw me sideways, was she right? I haven't read any other of Amo's books, YET, but after The Silver Swan I plan on ravishing every single thing she's ever written. Most people know how much I love a dark romance. The more it torments me and makes me bleed the more I love it... I'm a masochist like that - but I also really enjoy that Gossip Girl type feel in books. Well, The Silver Swan delivered on all fronts. It's dark, like Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) dark and angsty, Tarantino quirky, and Cecily Van Ziegesar (Gossip Girl) bantery. It's just the freaking BOMB! Like holy sexy poopballs frick!
The characters in this book are wowzers. Firstly, although the story is centred around Madi, you have two other main characters in the sexy Bishop and Nate. I classify them as main characters because they are a big part of the story like a leading male. Secondly, for 18 year olds these guys fuck like bulls on heat. She giggles as she types that... obviously. So mature. Thirdly, Amo has given us not one, not two, but a whole pack of delectable, angsty, sexy males. Yup, it's a definite male coma alert! Just thinking about Bishop has me blushing, squeeing and drooling. He's like a junior Talon Steel, Christian Grey and Gideon Cross all rolled into one. You're gonna get wet.
Anywho, getting myself together, character wise Amo Jones has created multifaceted - yet straightforward characters. What I mean by that is that although you peel back layers as the plot progresses (because the character development is tightly weaved into the plot), they are really well thought-out and mapped characters. Basically, the twists in the plot are what unravel the characters and they never lose their identity. This is really clever, because it keeps a fogginess as to where the plot is going. Bishop is alpha through and through, he's broody, angsty, his presence is felt throughout the entire book even though he isn't in every page - Bishop is the darkness. Now, Nate - polar opposite. Sure, he's got a darkness to him, but he's actually quite a soft character. Again, smart writing skills. The reason I say this is because Nate brings dry acrid humour to the plot to the point that he inserts this creepy heebie jeebies element to it. You following? I found this so intelligible and cunning on Amo's part because that unsettling feeling is what keeps you guessing. With Bishop you know there's trouble, with Nate you're kept guessing just what that trouble is. Clever, right? This is flawless character development.
Again, with Madi Amo has created such an intriguing and beguiling character. She's intelligent, but naive in a way that endears her to the reader. Her naivete is what keeps you turning the pages because you know she knows that all is not what it seems and although the answers are right under her nose and the readers nose you just can't put your finger on them. Her journey is the reader's journey. Such awesome use of character. Freaking BRILLIANT really. It's sort of like dramatic irony, only the reader doesn't actually know what is actually going on - like Madi. It's like a literary hustle. You then also have Tatum and Tillie, these are really secondary characters like the rest of the guys in the pack, however they are almost like reference points for Madi's character. They contrast and serve to bring out Madi's traits. Her interactions with them show different sides to her that you don't necessarily see through her interactions with Bishop and Nate. To me this is where that Gossip Girl feel comes in.
I've touched a little on the plot, however I don't want to dig too deep because the mystery of the plot is what makes this book a must read. You go in expecting one thing but every turn and intersection takes you somewhere different. Shannon and I have discussed this like batshit crazy fools because the cliffhanger really leaves you lost in the middle of nowhere with just one piece of the puzzle. Where is it going? How will it continue? Do you know what's even more fascinating about this? That even though you get to know the characters, by the end you're questioning who they are all over again. Biggest mind game ever... which, wait for it... is the plot of the story. Mind games - but are they really mind games?
The Silver Swan has left me like whooooooa... I need to read it again, because I want to make sure I didn't miss a thing. I want to read it again because it's ingenious. I want to read it again because it made me wet. I will be reading it again because... it's like a drug. I simply NEED MORE. So Amo, if you read this - give me a blurb and a cover for book 2, The Broken Puppet AfreakinSAP!

5.0 out of 5 stars wow 🤩
(English review further down 🙏)
Wie genial ist bitte dieser Reihenauftakt??
Madison gefällt mir sehr. Sie steht zu dem was sie will, auch wenn die Jungs sie manchmal verunsichern. Aber wer kann es ihr verübeln? Sie sind alle auf ihre Weise der Wahnsinn und doch schlägt ihr Herz immer diesen einen Takt schneller, wenn Bishop in der Nähe ist. ♥️ Aber das Ende 😱😱😱😱
Klar, habe ich einige Parallelen zu anderen Stories erkannt, die ich bisher gelesen habe und diese Reihe ist scheinbar den meisten vorangegangen. Aber trotzdem mag ich sie alle auf ihre eigene Weise. 🫶🏻♥️
Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Teile, denn ich möchte so einiges wissen!!! Zb was ist es, dass nur Sam über Madi weiß?
Was läuft da zwischen Nate und Tillie?
Was weiß Miss Winters genau??
Ich liebe solche spannenden Auftakte, die einen einfach immer weiterlesen lassen. Ich konnte dieses Buch kaum aus der Hand legen.
Und ich bin jetzt schon #madship süchtig 😍😍
🌟Absolute Leseempehlung🌟
——————
OMG!!!! This series is effing amazing!!!
I really love Madison 🤩😍 She knows what she wants, knows what she can handle and that is quite a lot if you ask me. Ok, sometimes the Kings irritate the sh*t out of her, but hey: who can blame her?? 😮💨😮💨😮💨
They are all amazing in their own way and I can‘t wait to get to know them all, but I love how her heart skips a beat, every time Bishop is only near 😍😍😍
Absolutely can’t wait to read the next books, because I have questions!!! So many questions…like…what is it, that only Sam knows about Madi? What is going on between Tillie and Nate??? What does Miss Winters know about the Kings Club?
And many more…. 🤩🤩🤩
I love these kind of beginning’s in Bookseries 😍😍😍 pure excitement from Chapter 1 onwards 😍😍
I couldn’t put this book down. And by the way, I‘m totally Team #madship 😍😍😍
🌟Absolute Must-Read🌟

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Dark Bully Romance
Amo Jones is right when she says that this book is not like any other that I have read before. It hooked me in so much that I read it in one day and once I had finished I sat stunned trying to comprehend what i had read.
Amo Jones has written an amazingly twisted tale that captures the reader and does not them go. I fell in love with her characters that just kept becoming more complex as the story unfolded. As for the plot, it is one twist after another ending in a cliffhanger. So be warned and ready to pick up book two, the Broken Puppet.
Overall, a fantastic book that is a definite 5 star read. That said it is not for everyone. It is definitely a twisted walk on the dark side with themes that may upset some readers. So proceed with care, but those that do will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly Perfect
The tension between Madison and Bishop? Utter fire. The push and pull, the forbidden undercurrent, and the slow unraveling of their connection is the kind of angst I absolutely LIVE for.
But fair warning: The Silver Swan isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s gritty, unrelenting, and unapologetically wild. The suspense will leave you breathless, and the cliffhanger? A straight-up killer.
This book is a wicked, tantalizing ride through the darker side of the elite, and if you love morally gray characters, dark romance, and edge-of-your-seat drama, this one will ruin you—in the best way possible. Five stars, no hesitation.
