Crowned Duet #1
Crowned by Hate
Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had.
Only I'd dream of having a simple life. A life where I wasn't marrying the scariest man I have ever met. Well, I thought I had just met him, but it turns out, there's so much I don't know about myself. That's all thanks to a past so twisted, so warped, that no amount of money, or presidential status could wipe it clean.
I'm the rebel child. Or as some may see it, the disappointment. I’ve never cared about expensive wedding gowns, or how much someone paid for a tailored suit. I don’t care if your wedding dress is from Walmart, or if it’s from some fancy, upscale designer line.
So why am I marrying the devil dressed in a thousand-dollar suit?
I'm about to find out how I got here. To marrying one of the most powerful men in the country. The road to finding out, though, is paved with darkness, painted with the blood of innocents, and it leads my ass straight to hell. Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse suite in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal, sits on his throne.

What was even going on? I'm seriously confused. Yeah, I'll admit that I was reading this in the middle of the night when I could not sleep but still?
I wanted to finish this book since it is rather short. But it was so confusing, too many things stuffed into one book, sort of jumping from one to another.
And after finishing this book, I seriously have no idea what this was about.
I'll probably refrain from rating this book because as I said, I have no idea what this was even about.
But I have to mention that I was not exactly a fan of the writing style, plus the narration from the POV of the main character Isa was somewhat annoying.

Can I just start off saying I HATE cliffhangers? I hate 'em...I hate 'em...I hate 'em. And yes that is me stomping my feet and throwing a tantrum worthy of a two-year-old. *lol* I especially hate them when the book sucked me in and then left me confused as F@CK. Because ladies and gentlemen this was me after finishing this one...
So I am pretty much going to go with a less is more attitude with this review. It's a mind f@ck for sure and best gone into without a lot of forethought. It will make the craziness have that much more of an impact. I will say that I enjoyed it tremendously. The writing was top notch. It was well paced. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. It had twists and turns galore. No OW drama. Some OM drama. The sex scenes were fairly hot. The secondary characters were intriguing. Both main characters were captivating. Especially Isla...and that is all I am going to say about her. Lastly, this ended on a WHOPPER of a cliffhanger that left me confused, shocked and dying to get my hands on the next book in the series.
Not much left to say other than yours truly is giving this one a solid two thumbs up. Bring on book two...

Crowned by Hate was a low-key insane book. You can read it and think that it's just your average dark-themed story, but then you'll get the really messed up parts and it will leave you staring wide-eyed at your Kindle as you try to figure out what you just read. The telling of this story was truly brilliant and it makes me question this authors brain just a little bit. Which I mean in a good way of course.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the story and spoil anything but I will say that Isa intrigued me a lot. I found myself wanting to rush to the end just so I could figure her character out. I liked that she had a mix of strong, I don't give a shit attitude, mixed with a scared girl that just wants some attention.
The ending has me really confused, but it's a good confused. I'm left wondering about so much and it was a killer of a cliffhanger but it has me so excited to get the next part of the story. If you're into the complete mind-fuck reads than this is definitely a book you want to try.

Whoaa.....
What th f*cking hell is this?
The h is a stupid, horny and sex addict bitch. And the H is just another revenge seeking dark hero. This book is so disgusting. I don't know what was happening. The h is giving blowjob to a guy who is her bf, who is also bi and also he is her roommate. Then we are getting flashbacks where the h wants to have fun so she and her friend agrees to get f*cked by some sick bastards who wants to f*ck her without limits. And the horny bitch agrees for that. Then in present we meet the Hero. And he wants her as his wife so that he can make her life hell. Because Blah blah...
This book is definitely not for me.

And that is me being nice.
To say I hated this book is an understatement.
Every page is loaded with numerous editing errors. From typos, wrong words, sentence structure, jumpy scenes and much, much more.
Early in the book Isa describes herself as a size 2. And then has the nerve to complain about her 'fat'. Later in the book she says she is a 'fat size 4'. I don't know about you, but neither size is fat nor curvy. They are both skinny. WTH?!
The entire book is written this way.
Contant conflicting and contradicting dialog. Even Bryant's eyes change color no less than 3 times.
Less than 10% of the story makes any sense at all. The author just filled it with 'shocking' moments that did NOT connect to anything. Just thrown in.
There is absolutely no flow to the story at all.
I understand what the author was going for. She missed the mark categorically.
As for the cliffhanger end? Flat out stupid. Just another attempt to 'shock' without any flow.
The only thing it did was clear up why, somewhere in the middle of the story, the scene where Bryant was holding a non-existent baby in some kind of hospital.
This is so badly written and so poorly executed it has turned me off from ever reading another book from this author.

First of all, Amo… why you do me like that??? That cliffy is going to bother me
FOREVER!!
This story gets FIVE STARS just because of how bad it messed me up. Don’t even know what to tell ya smdh!
Alright. I didn’t love Isa. I could barely tolerate her in the beginning. She was immature, dishonest, insincere, rude, and someone I wouldn’t bother with in real life. She put herself in situations that ‘normal’ people wouldn’t dare venture in, and then wondered why her life was messed up. As the daughter of the POTUS, you would think she’d have a better understanding of the world she found herself in. However, I grew to like her. I’m not sure how or when that happened, but the further along I went in this story, the more she was able to gain my support. In the end, I still don’t think I really knew who she was but I hope that changes as the series progresses.
Bryant is still a mystery to me. Every time I felt like I figured out his motive, something would happen that let me know that I was still in the dark. He was dangerous (still don’t understand why), sexy, immensely successful, and seemed to hold Isa’s life in the palm of his hand. Yet, I think I still don’t know him either. With the mix of side characters who have motives of their own, I was easily confused. Again, I hope things are clearer in the next book.
Crowned by Hate was a big bag of confusion. The writing was top notch. I was captivated from the very beginning. And while I was in the minds of the characters, the author wove a world of craziness that I didn’t want to come out of. How could I be in their heads and still not have a clue what they’re thinking??? The author has this way of writing people who feel real. Their actions and reactions are almost commonplace. The true shock value lies in their motives. And because they’re still unclear, they remain the mystery that sustains my interest for the rest of the books to come. And with that freaking cliffy?! What the heck is going on??? I have no idea what or who is real or not!!!
Amo Jones has done it again! For those of you who haven’t read her books before, I really don’t understand what the hell you’re waiting for. If you like to have your mind messed with (and not always in the best of ways), if you like being led down the twisted road of romance at its darkest, if you enjoy a story that isn’t anything like the others, you need to READ HER BOOKS!!

Now I understand the genius image on the bookcover....
Oh how I wish I wasn't so committed to my plans to complete my reading challenges for two reasons. I want desperately to read the next book in this amazing saga. And... I would be able to take the time and do a full review presentation. This book deserves more than this, my "review-lite".
" Crowned by Hate" is my first exposure to Amo Jones and I just love her writing style, not to mention her warped sensibilities. I mean this as high praise. This well-written story checks all the boxes for me. It is mysterious, dark, suspenseful... inadvertently romantic. The story has characters who have surprising hidden natures and agendas beneath their masks. It is explosively erotic. Ahh...This eroticism being the best part!
While not all is revealed about what conspiratorial elements are at play through our female and male protagonist narrators, we grow closer to Bryant as he can't help himself from falling for Isa. At the same time, our intimacy with Isa gradually wans as she becomes more unknowable moving through the plot points of the story.
Bryant is the aloof, Dominant, beautiful man who wants revenge and has plans for something more. He is beautiful in face, form, genetic gifts and everything that makes a girl's heart go Boom! Isa is a hot beautiful mess. She is a rebel and a disruptor. She claims to suffer from nymphomania and is completely unconcerned that she has an addiction to sex.
Options.... I like options. Everyone likes options and the reader is given the option to choose a HEA. Oh, but this author knows for whom she writes! So adding to all the glorious [hate-fudging], she tosses in a solid [mind-fudge] for those of us... which is actually most of us... who choose to read on past the point of madness.
I would not call the ending a "cliffy" but the ending compels you to need the next book. Hence, the source of my dilemma. I have 5 reading challenges to finish before the year's end with each book carefully selected for the possibility of fulfilling a number of the challenges. Ugh...The next book must wait for me, but I will definitely get to it. I lurve this story too much to not finish it.
Lucky for you if you choose to give this series a try and you can read the books back-to-back. I completely recommend this opening salvo in this erotic, twisted, "romantic" mind bender. If only for the glorious [hate-fudging]. Pardon the euphemism... I'm writing this in my kindle and posting it simultaneously on Amazon and Goodreads. You all know the score on that.
Go... Go now... Get this... Read and enjoy. You know who you are that will devour this dark jewel.

FIVE MINDBLOWING STARS for Isa and Bryant ❤🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Honestly, I'm confused and totally lost.
I’ve read a variety of books so far, but nothing could prepare me for this one.
Although I'm familiar with Amo's writing style, this book was completely different and a real refreshment that experienced my readers' boundaries with each page.
This book made me think throughout my reading and I had the feeling that I was slowly connecting the threads of the story, but at one point I got lost and I no longer knew who was the positive character and who was negative in the story.
"Crowned by Hate" is suspense romance with enemies to lovers trope and much, much more.
Isa is an unusual female character who intrigued me from the very beginning of the book and I wanted to know more about her.
I found out more about her but I also didn't.
Bryant is a male character I didn't like from the beginning but as the story unfolded his behavior towards Isa began to change and so did my opinion of him.
Do you love Amo's books?
You're looking for a dark, suspense and twisted book that will blow your mind away?
If is "yes" your answer, then this is definitely a book for you!
Highly recommended!!!
P.S. Can't wait to read "Crowned by Fate"!!!

✨“I’m about to marry my worst enemy, I’m pretty sure the only threat to my life is from my husband-to-be.” ✨
ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING in any sort of way
I have been played from start to finish.
What a plot twist ! I didn't see that coming at all!
I'm so happy I've waited this long to read it , the wait would have destroyed me ,literally.
Other than that I loved this story.
It was filled with mystery , lies and all kind of tension .
The relationship between Bryant and Isa was something else, filled with passion , chemistry and so much feelings.
Their journey wasn't easy at all , all the plot twists and revelations didn't make it less complicated .
Everything about Bryant was so calculated that you wouldn't understand util It's too late .
✨"Bryant Royal is calculated, smart, coherent. He’s one hundred steps ahead of the human race and about three steps behind God. There’s no outsmarting someone like him,” ✨
And Isa's instinctive and inflamed personality made her the perfect match and a real challenge for Bryant .
This story will really push your limits , It will left you wander about what you just read.
Was It real? I'm still on a rollercoaster of emotions that won't stop anytime soon.
✨“I don’t run, and if I am running, you should probably run too because that means something is chasing me.”✨
It will literally put you out of your comfort zone , in any possible way.
So get ready to enjoy the ride, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did.
I gave it absolutely 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
enjoy.

I don’t even know where to begin. I am distraught. I am confused. I am furious as hell and I am so damn shocked, I’m still trying to pick my jaw up from the ground since I read this book 2 days ago. How can I even begin to put into words just how much of a gigantic mindfuck this book is? There aren’t enough words. I could write pages and pages about it and yet it still wouldn’t be enough to explain the total clusterfuck of a ride this book is. It’s infuriating.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since the first teaser Amo dropped in her reader’s group. Amo has a way of creating alpha assholes who take it to the next level. I have never ever met an asshole of epic proportions such as Bryant Saint Royal and yet every part of my body thrums and pulses for him. He has an aura that he carries with him easily, that seeps into the deepest part of your pores and burns you like a fever. Add to the mix, Isa and it’s like watching a very bad train wreck right before your eyes. You don’t want to watch but you can’t seem to tear your eyes away. Her sassiness, her bitchy attitude, her sex addicted ways & her body seem to test Bryant to limits he’s never seen before. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness.
This book, honestly, destroyed me. It ripped my heart straight from chest and crushed it with its bare hands until there was nothing but dust. It’s sinfully sexy with a touch of rough darkness that would make even a nun moan in her robes. It sucks you in, captivates your soul and demands everything from you. Its a book that won’t be easily forgotten. Filled with twists like you’ve never seen.
The best thing about Amo’s books is her unpredictability. The level of crazy that fills her small body is honestly surprising because never did I expect this level of fuckery to come from her twisted head, and I’ve been a fan of hers from the very beginning. I gotta admit as the book progressed, I was beginning to find it dull, waiting for the next plot twist. And then I began to get very disappointed at how rushed everything felt. There were a lot of unanswered questions, plot holes and bits that didn’t make sense. But that plot twist, it made up for everything. I mean, I still have a lot of questions but goddamn, my mind is spinning. Because it makes sense, but then it doesn’t. I sound confusing but this book has an affect on me I never knew possible.
I am DESPERATE for that next book. My mind won’t rest until I find out what happens next. I haven’t done this book the tiniest bit of justice in explaining, it’s just something you MUST read for yourself. Never have you read dark romance like this before. This will push you to your limits, it’ll make you think, make you heat up with desire and shake with rage but it’s for the history books because I can guarantee, you’ll walk out of this book different than when you started.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since the first teaser Amo dropped in her reader’s group. Amo has a way of creating alpha assholes who take it to the next level. I have never ever met an asshole of epic proportions such as Bryant Saint Royal and yet every part of my body thrums and pulses for him. He has an aura that he carries with him easily, that seeps into the deepest part of your pores and burns you like a fever. Add to the mix, Isa and it’s like watching a very bad train wreck right before your eyes. You don’t want to watch but you can’t seem to tear your eyes away. Her sassiness, her bitchy attitude, her sex addicted ways & her body seem to test Bryant to limits he’s never seen before. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness.
This book, honestly, destroyed me. It ripped my heart straight from chest and crushed it with its bare hands until there was nothing but dust. It’s sinfully sexy with a touch of rough darkness that would make even a nun moan in her robes. It sucks you in, captivates your soul and demands everything from you. Its a book that won’t be easily forgotten. Filled with twists like you’ve never seen.
The best thing about Amo’s books is her unpredictability. The level of crazy that fills her small body is honestly surprising because never did I expect this level of fuckery to come from her twisted head, and I’ve been a fan of hers from the very beginning. I gotta admit as the book progressed, I was beginning to find it dull, waiting for the next plot twist. And then I began to get very disappointed at how rushed everything felt.

Jesus Christ. I need a minute. Or five. What a story. I swear Amo Jones is the legit boss with sucking you in and spitting you out. She doesn't pull her punches when it comes to her books and will lay it all out there for her readers - sexy or shocking. Crowned by Hate was one of the best mindfks of the year. No doubt. It was sexy, twisted and so intense. I couldn't stop reading the minute I started and all I wanted was more Isa and Bryant. And that ending? OMG. I need book two NOW!!!
So this will be one of the vaguest reviews I have ever written and without much detail as going in blind is the best way to go when reading a book by this author. And to be honest, even if you read the blurb you honestly will still wonder wtf you read as in true Amo Jones fashion, she did the damn thing and left you sputtering in a heap on the floor but no doubt wanting more. This book was so twisted and crazy but so sexy. You wanted more Isa and Bryant even though this story wasn't all cookies and rainbows. It was dark, twisted and cringeworthy at times. I couldn't help but cover my mouth while reading at times as the shock and tension and SUSPENSE was out of control. Do yourself a favor, pick up this novel and be prepared to be blown away. I was and still am and am now left with SO MANY questions. This book was epic. I bow down to the Queen. Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula

Dumbest story I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. No character development, there was little chemistry between the main characters, and the story just didn’t make much sense. I’m astonished by all of these 4 and 5 star reviews to be honest SMH.

Get's out one of those big foam fingers points and shouts "Mind f**k right here".
I haven't a clue how to begin, I went from trying to get my head around Isa's self destruct rebellious ways putting herself in danger sexually to the suspense and mystery that surrounded Bryant wanting to marry Isa.
A successful business man marry's the presidents daughter and uses blackmail and video footage of Isa's past as leverage to get her to agree.
What starts off as a hate relationship changes to one of attraction and lust then develops further where you can see both characters developing feelings.
Although the plot has twists and turns and there's an air of suspense I was slowly beginning to think all the bad was going to come good and Isa and Bryant would have a hea.
How wrong was I?, and wow, what an ending, for now anyway.
Crowned by hate is like a slow burning dynamite stick and then BOOM your left with your jaw hanging.
[image error]
I'm looking forward to book two, I'm hoping for a hea I wouldn't be a romance reader if I didn't and I'm hoping these characters can find normal, a life without drama, danger and I cant wait to see what will be revealed and where this plot is going.
An intense, dark and gripping read.
Contains scenes of rape and definitely not for the flowers and romance kind of reader but if you live on the dark side grab it and enjoy the trip.
Told in first persons dual pov.

This was a fast paced book and I certainly liked the premise. Who doesn't love a love/hate relationship? The push and pull between two people who shouldn't be attracted to each other yet are?
Sadly, the story fell flat for me. The character development wasn't enough for me to invest in the heroes and I didn't connect with them. The ending...I am not sure about that ending. It had the shock factor for sure but for me it had the opposite effect. I don't think the story needed it but I am sure other readers might think otherwise. It just confused me because I think I liked where the story was heading before that ending came at me full force.
Good idea but I didn't like the execution. It wasn't for me, it might be for you.

***4 "Beep. Beep." stars***
“I don’t run, and if I am running, you should probably run too because that means something is chasing me.”
Oh my!!!! What the hell???? Wow!!! Just wow!!!
I was hearing that this book was fucked up and honestly, while i was reading it i was wondering why the hell everyone was saying that thing!!!
Okay, this book was a big mess, but i thought that i knew what was happening after all... and the key word is "thought" cause the last two chapters made me realized that i knew shit until that moment....
OMG!!! I need the second part!!!! I need to realize what is really happening in here!!!!
"He reminds me of someone or something. Something calculating. Something I'd only witnessed on someone once in my life."
Honestly, i don't know what to say about this book, cause I'm still trying to figure it out myself....
But the truth is that all this freakin' mess did a great impact and that it has the ability to leave you craving more like a crack...
Bryan and Isa were confusing as hell...
Their relationship??? Confusing as hell!!!
Only their marriage seemed less confusing, but was it really??? Hmmm...
"Oh, we're definitely going to kill each other before we've even reached the boring phase of marriage."
Isa was the daughter of the president of United States...
God, she was trouble with a huge T... She wasn't the role model daughter and she had so many shitty issues!!!
And then one day out of nowhere, Bryant Royal came into her life and he started to make demands... Crazy demands for so soon, but he is holding something against Isa and one of his demands is for her to become his wife...
"I'm about to marry my worst enemy, I'm pretty sure the only threat to my life is from my husband-to-be."
Honestly, Bryant is one man full of contradictions...
He was giving me a whiplash...
He was cold, he was hot... He was cruel, he was tender... Arrrr!!! For God's sake, man!!!!
And i really don't know what were his true motives behind his actions....
Phew!!!! I need some freakin' answers cause i'm losing my mind here!!!!
"Revenge in the sweetest way possible. I'll make your life a living hell while gaining the benefits of marrying the president's daughter."
This was a really fucked up story with two very dysfuctional characters who together they were working really good!!!
But there are many creepy things that are standing between them!!!!
The plot had so many holes and i have to believe that Amo will fill them out on the next installment!!!
God, this woman's pen is fucking up with my head...
And the bad thing??? I like it!!! Oups!!!
"Sometimes the bad people win."

July 7, 2020 WHAT.THE.FUCK??!
The book was amazing, Amo Jones is an amazing author, so I'm not gonna waste any time talking about how good the book was. So let's just skip to the bad part.
What the hell happened? The story was written amazingly until 80% of the book but after that.....what happened? I got the story until the part she got kidnapped but after that...nothing. nada. I JUST DON'T GET IT!!! I'm confused and flustered as hell right now.
After she gets kidnapped by, well you-know-who (I'm not gonna give away spoilers for those who haven't read it) what happens? Some part of the story is written in a different font...which denotes the past..or at least that's what I thought. Cause before in the book, there is a different font used for the past, but then when nearly 80% of the book is done and she gets kidnapped, some part of the story is written in 'that' font. Aaaand little ole' me, thought that it was the past. But it wasn't. I THINK. I mean, I'm still not sure. Cause it was the present, and then I just don't know what happens. Okay I'm rambling now. And I probably make no sense. But seriously. I am full of so many questions right now and the first few chapter of the next book have left me with more. How do they find her? How does Bryant know where she is? How do they rescue her? Is she dead? and what about the part where they renew the vows? Are Brooke and Isa the same person? Are they even real? Is any of it real? I'm so confused and I have so many more questions.
I'm pretty sure my book was missing a few pages and even some paragraphs here and there but there is no way to find out as I was reading it on my kindle.
Can anyone who has read the book help me out? PLEASE?! *me begging on my knees* because not understanding this book is only making me flustered and mad as fuck. Not to mention me feeling stupid cause not understanding a book has never happened to me before.EVER.
Anyways, once again someone help me out!! I'm not gonna rate this book, at least not until I figure this book out and maybe then I can actually rate this book and write a review with a calm mind, and not when I'm angry and bothered like I am right now.
Enjoy! x

MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

** spoiler alert **
This review is for the duology.
I found this author on Instagram and the book was on KU, so why not?
I have never read a book so terrible. It was riddled with errors, inconsistencies, and bad facts.Should have DNF'd.
Don’t read this if you are even remotely interested.
The MC is the daughter of the POTUS. She makes sure to mention early on that she has “double dd” breasts (not a typo) and a bubble butt and that her size two jeans are tight in the hips but always too loose in the waist.
She lives in the “French Quarters” of New Orleans, but has to go to NYC for a fancy dinner her dad is hosting bc he is in his second term and running for re-election (I know, but that’s what the book says.).
At the dinner she is introduced to Bryant, the love interest. Immediate animosity. He gets her alone and demands that she come with him to his apartment. They go and when they get there a bag is thrown over her head. Kidnap 1. But then she is just dragged to the bedroom.
Turns out he is the brother of a man she stabbed in the neck during a sex party gone wrong and he will suppress the video tape if she marries him. He tells her go get your stuff out of your apartment. So she does. And then drives back over to his place in Connecticut. So her French Quarter apartment has transported to NYC, along with her roommate.
She has all these random dreams. A flashback to the time her bff stabbed a man in the neck in a strip club.
Her roommate was mad at her and wanted to make up so he met her at a coffee shop, where he tells her he’s her husband’s cousin. Then he kidnaps her. The bff is in on the plan. They abuse her and her roommate says they were supposed to have a baby together.
She comes to and it’s the morning of her wedding— a year later and a vow renewal. She has just given birth two days ago via c-section. At the wedding, the crazy bff barges in with a gun and tries to kill her but shoots the baby. Bryant whips out a gun and kills the bff then our heroine shoots her dead friend in the head five times then flees with the baby.
She comes to in a mental hospital. The doctors say she has fractured personalities. The friend is one of them. Was the wedding a dream? Is the baby real? We don’t know.
She’s kidnapped again, by the doctor at the mental hospital, who is in love with her, and taken to a cabin in the country. She’s not crazy. It was all real. She doesn’t have multiple personalities. Her dad was trying to get rid of her, feeding her experimental drugs to make her crazy. Her husband divorced her for being crazy.
They go back to NYC/CT to get revenge. The husband is engaged to another woman. But wait! He never divorced the heroine! According to him, there is a secret plan and the doctor can’t be trusted. The secret service agent who stuck around has a nickname now, for some reason.
The roommate shows up! It was all a dream. He didn’t abuse her, it was the friend the whole time. The sexy doctor can’t be trusted. He is married to Bryant’s new fiancée.
The husband is running for POTUS. In two weeks. The heroine must get her shit together or get out. Lots of back and forth. The fiancée is fake! She is his childhood fuck buddy!
There is a fancy masquerade hosted by the heroine’s dad, the POTUS. Bryant plays a video that reveals how POTUS locked up his own daughter and experimented on her with drugs bc he is trying to cure insanity and schizophrenia. The sexy doctor was in on it! But wait! The sexy doctor is her half brother!
Our heroine storms out of the party to a dark alley where she is confronted by the sexy doctor. Sexy doctor reveals that he has been in on it from the beginning. He’s not her half-brother! POTUS has been trying to cure insanity and schizophrenia because he wants to cure her mother who is still alive! And he has been experimenting on her secret twin sister! “Because genetics.” The POTUS was going to switch them out and no one would know! The husband and the roommate show up to save her and it is revealed that they are assassins! They take care of business.
But then the heroine is kidnapped again for the fourth time! It’s her dad, the POTUS! He is going to get rid of her once and for all! The shooting at the wedding was his doing! He’s been having an affair with the bff! She accepts her fate. The assassin who is supposed to kill her hears all her apologies and, surprise! It was her husband there to save her!
It turns out the POTUS has been trying to kill his kid for a long time. He ordered a hit on her when she was 16. Guess who? The roommate and the husband. But they couldn’t do it!
The POTUS is killed instead, stabbed in the neck by his own daughter! Then he’s fed to the pigs at the pig farm the husband owns or maybe buried at the island he owns, the one whose name keeps changing.
And then! The baby is alive! She has been the whole time! She was in hiding with the heroine’s sister (not the twin)! The happy family is reunited!
Oh, and they buy a psychiatric hospital for the mom because it turns out schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that requires intentional care and management.
21 years later and everyone is happy, including the secret service agent who no one is acknowledging is now like 75 years old.
The craziest thing about this book? She thanks her team of editors in the acknowledgments.

2 stars of complete nonsense
I am labeling this book under ‘Hot Mess’. Who knew my first ride with Amo Jones would be my last. I’m not one to shy away from a dark read, but this was more of a bad trip through the Twilight Zone. The author tried but failed miserably on the shock factor. Sinking into a world where things happen to other people and you get to vicariously experience their drama before you put the book away and go back to your real life. None of that happens in the book instead you’re left with mind blowing issues like “WTF did I just read.” Besides the underdeveloped storyline and non-existing character development that I’m willing to accept. What I can’t turn a blind eye to is the amount of sensitive topics the book covered without warning. I won’t touch the ending because I need this review to be short and done with. However, I will say it’s important for authors to list trigger warnings especially if you are going to be touching sensitive subjects in your book and then end the book with a cliffhanger of epic nonsense.
I’m sorry but this is not a warning when it comes to dealing with mental issues.
“Author note: If you’re satisfied with the image this story has given you, please stop here, as you’re about to get a rude awakening.”
“It’s somewhere between all the tension that has heightened to dangerous levels, and the urge to punch him square in the nose.”
Exactly my feeling except I need to zap this book right out my head forever.

“Author note: If you’re satisfied with the image this story has given you, please stop here, as you’re about to get a rude awakening.”
“It’s somewhere between all the tension that has heightened to dangerous levels, and the urge to punch him square in the nose.”
Exactly my feeling except I need to zap this book right out my head forever.

When I first saw this book I knew immediately I wanted it. From the cover to the title to the teasers I saw on social media and let's talk about that damn tagline. "Are you prepared for the mindfuck of the year?" Well why yes Amo Jones. Yes yes I am.
This is one of those books that you will immediately want to reread.
As I read the book I could feel it in my bones. I kept muttering to myself she's fucking with me. I tried to pay attention to everything my mind swirled thinking what the fuck am I missing I know there's something.
Something isn't sitting right with me I can fucking feel it. Amo Jones stop Fucking with me. She didn't care. I can picture her sitting there with a smile that gorgeous smirk on her face. Thinking hahah fuckers you won't see it coming.
And I didn't and then motherfuck what, how, why, but ... wait but scratches head. How in the Fuck. But then who... and what about .... and what does this mean.... and did they know... and fuck...
I have so many Fucking questions Amo !!!!!
What in the shit !!!!!!!!
This book once you get to the end will have you shook. It will leave you sitting there with this look on your face. You know the one I'm talking about. The one that where you are blinking repeatedly. And the entire time you will be saying What !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What just happened !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then you will sit and think and think and think about the book. Trying to figure out what clues you may have missed and more importantly you will need more immediately.

Well, I have no words, not really, but hell this book is one of the best Mind Fu*ks I have read.
I am not going to say much as I don’t want to spoil it and I don’t think there is much I can say that will not be a spoiler. So go in blind and just enjoy the ride.
The story the writing is brilliant, Talk about the emotional roller coaster I felt while reading. Angry, sad, confused. loving/hating characters. I had to reread the last few chapters a few times and I still cannot get my head around any of it... totally messed with me.
All the way through I thought I was working things out and nothing is what I was expecting , so you can try and work out what you think will happen and good for you if you do, but I am still trying to work out exactly what the hell is going on, I need book 2 ASAP!!! I need answers.
I am not 100% sure, how I am feeling right now Confused, Mind blown, WOW. It is just perfection. I will highly recommend this book.

Have you ever wanted to read one of those books that totally messes with your head? Where you know that your gonna find it difficult to put a review together as your heads so messed up?? Well get reading Crowned by Hate. It really is an epic read that will play with your mind.
So last night and I read 60% of this book. Going great. Thought it’s a great read and I’ll look forward to reading the rest tomorrow. This afternoon I’ve sat down to finish it and I’m like wtf. The last quarter of this book has blown the ratings through the roof. I’m not gonna go into the storyline except to say it’s brilliant.
This is my first read by this author. If her other books are anything like this please let me know. Hope we don’t need to wait too long to read book two as this was an awesome read and I need more.

This book blew me away it literally left me gobsmacked and left me wondering what I’d just read.
I’m going to tell you absolutely nothing about the story nada zilch nothing hehe! Amo never delivers what I expect after reading the blurb and I love that.
Her imagination is a scary wonderful kaleidoscope of characters that she drops into a story of fu**ed up epic proportions with plot twists you don’t expect that have you questioning everything.
As I read I thought I knew what was going on, was I right I’ll never tell so take the challenge buy the book and see if you can work it out.

Amo Jones did it again. She pulled the biggest mindfuck of the century and holy shit I was not prepared. The ending was such an amazing cliffhanger yet somewhat confusing, which made it all the better. This book is just another reason why Amo will always be my favourite author.

This story will push your limits, put you out of your comfort zone and definitely it's not for the faint of a heart sweet book romance but certainly worth the reading!
We're enter into the world of wealthy people with the power and money. Crowned By Hate book started very innocently, even funny sometimes, but don't let Amo to fool you, because it appears the most darkest and jaw dropping story I've ever read from this author.
Isa is a President's daughter. She is feisty, fearless girl, with the sassy mouth and rebel soul. She is not a typical well behaving keep up the image girl. I would say that she was on self destruction path in her life. Is there someone who could possibly save her? Guess what?! Even worst because one day she has to marry a devil himself in perfectly tailored suit wrapped up in the God’s body of Bryant Saint Royal.
Here is were the story begun or maybe it begun much sooner. This is Amo Jones so prepare for everything because nothing looks as it seems. I won't tell you more about the plot because I want you to have the same book experience as I had. This story is not one of the many, this story is one of a kind with unique plot and characters. It will imprint itself in your mind forever. Everything you think you know about this story will turn into ash in the most unexpected moment. Amo is queen of dark stories which will f*c* with your brain and perfectly play with your emotions.
This novel sucked me in so hard that It took me literally few hours to read it and I've had the biggest book hangover afterwards. My thoughts were floating in my mind in one huge chaos of shock, disbelieve and totally mind blowing feelings.
It's a shame for a huge fan of Amo Jones books like me not to read this outstandingly dark romance earlier. Did I lived under a rock or something? If you missed this story the same as I did, grab that book today and experience the most intense dark emotions from the deepest part of your soul with Isa and Bryant but be aware that they will leave you with crashed feelings and even bigger cliffhanger afterwards.
This story will continue in Crowned by Fate book #2 but I've no clue which direction Amo Jones will lead us.

-Reseña en español:
4.5 estrellas🌟
¿¡Qué rayos acabo de leer!? Este libro me ha dejado tan confundida, en verdad no sabía qué estaba pasando después de haber leído un 80% del libro. Estoy sin palabras, muchos plot twists al final.
Sin embargo, amo los libros de Amo Jones, son demasiado adictivos y obvio seguiré con la segunda parte porque necesito saber qué va a suceder con urgencia!! Es una lectura oscura, con romance y una trama interesante.

4.5 stars🌟
Omg, what the hell was this? This book just left me so confused, I seriously didn't know what was going on after reading 80% of the story. I'm speechless, so many plot twists at the end.
However, I love Amo's books, they're so addictive, so obviously I'm going to keep reading the second book. I need to know what will happen next!! Definitely this is a great book if you want something dark and twisted.

Amo Jones hat sich wieder eine interessante und neue Story ausgedacht, die sich auch von ihren anderen Geschichten unterscheidet.
Die Story konnte mich wieder total fesseln und ich wollte immer weiter lesen.
Die Protagonisten waren sehr interessant, wobei ich immer mal wieder das Gefühl hatte, dass man noch nicht alles weiß. 👀
Am Anfang wusste ich nicht so ganz, wo das alles hingehen soll, aber das Ende ...
Mein Gott, das war wirklich sehr krass ...
Es hätte nicht geschadet, wenn das Buch ein paar Seiten mehr gehabt hätte, weil gerade das Ende sehr schnell ging und es wahrscheinlich mit Abstand das wichtigste Ereignis in der Geschichte beinhaltet.
Trotzdem bin ich mehr als gespannt, was im zweiten Teil passieren wird 😳😱!
