Ruined Castles
Nothing is going to make sense once you flip open this first chapter. You’re going to wonder why the fuck I made the decisions I did. Why he did what he did. I’m not going to make this easy for you. I’m going to guide you through loops that you’re going to wish I had just skipped, but I’m not going to do that either. You’re going to feel my pain, my loss, and my heart breaking in my chest. You’re going to watch me trip and fall, and get back up again. You’re going to wish you could slap the shit out of Bishop and me, but among all… I’m going to take you back to when I left the love of my life, and ran.
This is an open letter to you.
Good luck.

Madship fans are you ready?—shh, I don’t think you are.
Our girl Madison gave me a warning before I even turned the first page. She wasn’t lying. Proceed with caution.
I cried, I laughed, I swooned, my belly fluttered. Yet again, I found myself completely consumed by the toxicity that continues to threaten the lives of both Madison and Bishop and like a drug fiend chasing that god dam high, there I was turning each page completely immersed in the story, craving the next hit of Madship. Whether it was a burst of pure euphoria or a blast of fatality I could not get enough and during the ebs and flows I felt like I was home.
That’s what EKC is for me home away from home.
The series that made me find beauty amongst pain.
That empowered me, encouraged me and certainly challenged me. I discovered Sicko first and then found my way to EKC ever since that day I’ve had a intense love affair with Amos words. She’s a master at emotional f*ckery.
I’m going to miss the kings, the girls and this world but not for long until then…LONG LIVE THE KINGS 🤟🏼💀

amo jones, you are a very weird individual, you can’t write for shit. claiming that madship was like coming home then proceeding with the task of destroying the development and making everything about the story underwhelming… it all goes back to when madison was put through a meat grinder in malum in order to develop tillie’s cheap ass bursting under the onslaught of lice. there’s no tillie without madison sacrificing her place in the story. “you shouldn’t belittle one girl to elevate the other.” you been saying ?… “I’m not madison. I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon” ? The silver spoon in question: getting raped at an exponential rate. she was discredited by literally everyone, including Nate, even post-malum. bishop the boi who loved this woman with his entire being slandering and playing a manipulative game of ‘you’re the in the wrong’ with her like a little bitch ? CHECK. no proper talk? CHECK. no addressing the serious aspects of the story at least in a nutshell? CHECK. lazy writing? CHECK.
anyways, there’s no hope for the next gen whatsoever ! Madship lemme save you from this nastiness, these hoes don’t deserve you.
PS. To all Tillie stans out there I know you stink like hundreds of autopsied corpses
Source: bro just trust me they do

I am finally done with this series.
To this day I do not like Madison nor Bishop soooooo.
This book was about Madison in Australia but just from her perspective and there was no scene where Bishop really idk comforted her???
Like tf no please stop pretending you’re some strong Mafia leader that fucks bitches…
Plot wise there wasn’t anything new I mean this was all known in the past books and then there was the long birth scene and Madison being depressed.

5 STARS
This has been one the hardest secrets to keep! I haven’t talked about the “top secret” book from AMO Jones because I was so terrified I would slip up. BUT now I can.
When you grab this book on New Year’s Eve, please savor it. Each moment, each interaction from MADSHIP and the rest of our beloved EKC Family.
Seeing Madison and Bishop heal and grow back together had my heart in a vice - so many tender moments laced with their normal bullish!t and heat.
The ending felt bittersweet. I was so happy to see them get their HEA, to see this crew, who has come to be a family happy,…I was so proud (yes, proud of fictional characters), but also so heartbroken to say goodbye.
Madison and Bishop, Nate and Tillie, Brantley and Saint and all the other characters we have loved…it isn’t goodbye, it’s a see you later and I can’t wait to see your kids give you a run for your money!
Enjoy the ride!!! And thank you Amo for this world!

The only good decision Madison ever in her miserable life made was to kill herself. But did she go with that? No cuz she cant do anything good in life 😀 i bet she thinks she is badass for that
What the author does to make a book dark is to add rape to it. Literally all her books has rape🤦🏽♀️ she tries too hard

2.5-3 Stars
I am so torn about this book. I have LOVED Madship since The Silver Swan and I have reread (and listened to) their books multiple times. But this book was just so frustrating. I have come to realize that when reading one of Amo's books that there are going to be things that do not make sense, portions that aren't actually needed, and timeline issues. I know all of this going in so I always try to not let it ruin my experience with the book but this time it seemed like what was actually put into the previous books was forgotten. This book did not follow the correct timeline or events that had occurred:
* The entire timeline does not match up with the previous books. And the pregnancy timeline was all messed up when comparing it to the previous books.
* In Malum, Madison had been raped prior to Maceala dying. Those books actually made it seem like it had been sometime before and that's why Madison was spiraling and why her and Bishop were fighting. Now it's all been changed so that they were already fighting, she became a coke addict, and then she gets raped. But again, this is not what was shown in the previous books. Had she been spiraling because of the rape and Bishop thinking she cheated, that would have been so much more inline with her character instead of her becoming a weak brat who was getting her feelings hurt by the boys.
* In Sancte, the doctors did not come to Madison's hotel room until hours after Saint got there but in this book they are there waiting for Madison and Saint to get back from the airport. Also, Saint says she immediately noticed Madison's pregnant belly but in this book she is only 3 months along and barely showing.
* In Sancte, Madison knew the sex of the babies and even told Saint what they were. In this book, Bishop says it's being kept a secret because Madison didn't want to know and then makes a comment about it when she's giving birth.
* In Malum, Madison uses a knife on her rapist when they were at the hotel and even says that she just cut him a little when Tillie takes the knife away from her. In this book, she uses a gun and shoots him twice, there is never a mention of a knife being used.
There were a number of other inconsistencies from the previous books and even within this book, such as her being out for a run in yoga pants and a windbreaker when Bishop comes to get her but then when she gets up to the hotel room she's suddenly in panties, a red bra, and a shirt that's easily ripped.
In addition to that, there was not much explained from the previous books that we were left questioning. We just got to see it from their POV. For example, we still don't know why the guy raped her or why he wanted her to lie about it. We previously found out that he was a Lost Boy who was working with Peyton but I expected to get more in this book. I still have no idea why this happened.
While I would have liked the book itself separate from the other books, you just cannot separate this one from the rest. The inconstancies continued to throw me off and frustrate me throughout the entire book, making it hard to love it for what it was.

Okay so I'm really confused here... I am a HUGE fan of Madship, but after reading this book I am just lost and questioning my taste.
There are some serious topics mentioned here that were not, according to me handled well. At all. I felt like they were just added to make sure this book is "dark".
Spoilers Below
My problem #1
Madison gets raped and she tells Bishop that she cheated on him because that is what the rapist asked her to do.
“I’m someone who is going to kill every single person that you love if you don’t go ahead and play a cute little game with me. Don’t believe me? We got into your house without you or Bishop knowing.”
“You will go along with this. You will tell him you cheated on him. You will not tell him the truth. Make it sound sexy, and if not—I’ll make sure he gets this.” The boy waved his phone in front of my eyes.
Now here is the thing, After Madison told Bishop she cheated on him, he left her in the house and then the next day or a few days later a video of the rape is sent to Bishop and he loses it for obvious reasons because your lover telling you she cheated on him is different to when you actually have to watch a VIDEO of it happening. Here is what confused me, as per the second quote, someone told Madison that IF she doesn't comply the video will be sent BUT the video was STILL sent to Bishop even though Madison did exactly what the rapist asked her to do and Madison DID NOT come clean then. (Unless the supposedly boy was blackmailing her with some other video which I missed, then okay)
Secondly, Bishop didn’t notice with how freaky Madison is in bed that there must be something wrong in the video? However, we can still maybe ignore this by saying that he was really pissed and hurt.
Thirdly, a month later Madison kills her rapist and SHE STILL DOES NOT COME CLEAN TO BISHOP.
“If I get out of this car right now, we are done, you hear me? I’m not fucking doing this with you forever. I can’t. I thought I could. And now we have a body to clean up because you both”—he glares at both Tillie and me—“decided to whack your side-piece.”
Nope. She tells him she doesnt have to explain anything to him.
Her reasoning? They love each other too much that it consumes them and that she is planning to suicide the next day.
My problem #2
Suicide is a very serious topic okay? And it was not handled well here. Now this girl is playing russian roulette here and the first time she pulls the trigger nothing happens, she tries for the second time and
“Taking three more deep breaths, I pick the gun up again, flick the chamber, push it back in, and pull back the hammer, bringing the barrel to my mouth. One. Two. Three— I pause before I press the trigger again. Slowly lowering the gun from my lips, I rest it on my lap and sit as seconds turn to minutes. Three. Third. Jumping to my feet, I run into the bathroom to search for my phone, opening the app that tells me— “I’m late.” My phone slips from my fingers, falling to the floor as dread fills my belly and spreads all the way to my toes. “I’m fucking late.” I attempt to run dates in my head as I make my way back to the bedroom. I can’t know. I won’t know. “Shit.”
LIKE HOW. HOW WHAT AND WHY did that thought suddenly come to her head. I just couldn’t understand that. After this Madison does the thing she is best at and runs away to New Zealand. Where she decides to get DNA testing done to see who the father of the twins are and then accordingly let Bishop know. Then we just have months and months of time jumps, no mental health check-up or progress with Madships relationship (they do reunite once its confirmed that Bishop is the father and he takes her back home) THEN when Madison is giving birth she tells Bishop that she tried to kill herself and he starts crying that he almost lost the love of his life and then that’s it. Another time jump happens.
LIKE SERIOUSLY.
My problem #3
Like how many issues were not handled well here another thing that kept on bugging me was, Madisons Coke addiction. Like after she got pregnant she obviously stopped but isn’t she supposed to get some withdrawals? Or is it when you are pregnant you become immune to it???

One of the best things about being an author is access to advance copies of books from my favorite writers. Thank you so much, Amo, for taking pity on me and sending me an ARC. Sending much love from Ireland. Now, onto the last book in one of my fave ever series...
Ruined Castles was perfect...absolutely perfect. The queen has given all the Madship lovers the ending our fave couple deserved and now I'm ALL UP IN MY FEELS. I don't want it to be over and I'm beyond excited for the next-gen spin-off series. All the stars, Amo.

"I know Bishop better than anyone. I clawed my way into his cold, dead heart until he bled right into mine. I have the battle scars to prove it."
First of all, I'm so happy to get back into the EKC world to finally get to know what transpired between Mads & Bishop which left their story unfinished. This novella was the usual dark, deep, sexy, emotional, twisted and heartbreakingly beutiful piece of work, how could I not LOVE it? Madship would always remain my most favourite couple in the series and their story couldn't have had a better fucking ending than this!
"We fight dirty, fuck dirty, and will most likely kill each other one day, but it’s what we both need. Two halves of the same goddamn soul."
The misunderstanding between Mads & Bishop caused them a whole load of pain and they had to go through so many difficult situations. Their journey wasn't easy at all but then again, when it comes to their toxic love (that only they can understand) we knew, nothing was going to be so easy. As promised, this book put me though so much of emotions right from the first few chapters. I could literally feel Madison's pain, regret, grievance, anger but most of all- heartbreak, and that was devastating tbh. Despite all the hardships, Madison & Bishop were a perfect match for one another, their all consuming love was toxic and intense but the kind that we get once in a lifetime.
"We are the creation of our own choices, and every single one of us chose each other along the way. That’s what family is, it’s not blood. Even through war, hate , arguments, and destruction, we all always chose each other."
Bishop was a bad boy with a heart of gold. Yes, he made some mistakes but the way he loved Madison, was loyal and protective towards her and their entire family made my heart melt and he made it easy to forgive him. Each of my loves (Tate, Saint, Brantley, Nate, Abel, Jesse, Tillie, Scarlet, Elena, Eli and so many more) made an appearance. It was so much fun to get a glimpse of the characters you know and love already, each one of them left their own impact on me. (Though I feel that Madison forgave all the kings way too easily and most of them didn't even properly apologize to her for keeping things from her and replacing her by Tillie her all of a sudden) But above all, I felt so happy that my girl and Madison's ride or die, Tate found Spyder because God knows she deserved her own HEA! Although this novella is a short one, it packs a real big punch. I'm so sad that this series has ended, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic but I'm also excited to read the future works of Amo Jones especially the upcoming next gen series (I can't contain my excitement for that)!!!

I didn't know that I needed this, but my heart and soul did. This was the perfect ending to a couple that has one the hearts of many.
Bishop and Madison have been through SO much together - the good, the bad, some toxic, some innocent, lots of heartbreak and secrets that ultimate brought them closure.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Madison despite her need to always run and or drown her sorrow in her vices that tried so hard to destroy her and everyone close to her. Bishop is right there with her. He might just be my favorite king. Despite his need to hold back and keep secrets out of love.
Some parts made me cringe, others made me suck in my breath and hope for the best even with knowing how it would end. Overall this was a phenomenal conculsion for everyone, but Madship made it extra special.

This book was everything that I needed to mend my broken and screwed Madship heart!
Although Amo is a real fucker, that couldn't resist to break it a little bit more before she put it all back together, with the happily ever after that they truly deserved!
I fucking love it from start to end!
I've always had a soft spot for Madison, even when she was a runner that pissed me off... But with this book, we can feel what's on her mind to make the decisions that she made after what happened to her in Malum, and it was heartbreakingly painful to watch her spiraling down to a dark place all by herself.
Bishop was always my babe and I know that he made a lot of mistakes along their journey, but he paid for them... And he never really gave up on what he and Madison have with each other!
Also daddy Bishop is just 🔥🔥🥵🥵
They're both fighters!
Fighting for each other, fighting against each other and fighting with each other!
This book was emotional and raw, but so perfect for Madship that i can't complain about one single thing, other than I wish it was bigger, cause I'm not ready to say goodbye to them!
I'll be here patiently (not really) waiting for the next generation!
Bring it on the heathens!

OH MY HEART. How does Amo Jones so perfectly marry the dark and twisted with the sweet intensity of unconditional love? No one quite writes it quite like she does, and in her most lauded series with her most iconic pairing, she delivers an astounding heartbreaking and heart healing finale for a world that has mesmerized me for so long. Ruined Castles is an impassioned, revelatory, and bittersweet swan song to the EKC dark magic, but most importantly, for the infamous MADSHIP. And it was so much more than the closure I needed. It was an emotionally chaotic and cathartic emotional gauntlet, and I am all in my Madship loving feelings.
I don’t want to spoil anything, but Amo intensified my love for them both, while also helping me see them in a whole new light. Understanding decisions and choices, and narratively, Amo brilliantly structures the story in a way that ensures we see their world from both of their eyes. But even then, Amo guts us over and over- because even when we know what’s coming, it somehow hurts even more when we experience their pain. There is so much to discover, and it’s an Amo story, after all, so buckle up!
Theirs is a love that has been tinged with heartbreak and suffering from the very beginning. They’ve basically reinvented drama, with Amo creating her own reshaping her own breed of tormented dark angst. They’ve ruined each other and their love time and time over with their toxicity and mind games- but their chemistry and love never wanes, never falters. And in Ruined Castles we get to watch them break and heal, often all at once. But that’s what I love most about this world, and Amo’s writing- she marries the dark, twisted, and traumatic with the optimism of soulmate and familial love. She creates stories where trauma and pain become a source of strength and power- one that catalyzes healing. And Madship certainly had the longest journey to take, but what a rewarding and rich one. And the HEA they get, wow, I tear up just marveling in the beauty of it. Simply perfect.
Ruined Castles wasn’t the finale expected, but it was the finale Madship deserved. And i found myself emotional more than once, squeezed by the heartbreak and touched by their emotional resolve. I’m so thankful Amo announced the second generation stories to come, because I’m not ready to say goodbye to my favorite Amo Jones world.
EDITTED TO ADD: Some fans may not like what Madship endures and how they're story plays out. Is this what I wanted for them to experience? Well, no. But this isn't an epilogue- it's a finale, so while I hurt for the things that happened, I also can't deny it's befitting this couple- the seemingly unnecessary ways they are harmed, and also how they harm each other, is what MADSHIp is all about. Theirs is a love story about what love (or their version of it) can endure- so Amo tests them. And us. Just know, parts of this story are hard, really hard.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS
Star Rating : 3/5 Stars
POV : Dual
Cliffhanger : None
Hero : Bishop
Heroine : Madison
Pace of the story : Fast with multiple timeline skips
Angst Rating : 4/10
Heat Rating : 5/10
Plot Summary :
Madison has always had Bishop. He was the one person who was with her forever and that is how they both made it through everything in life. Until an accident destroyed that.
Now everything was broken and they had been apart for too long. It was time for Bishop to claim his queen and his babies. The one person who got him. The one he had hurt unknowingly. It was time for his queen to come back home.
Overall Opinion :
Okk, I won't like to say that this one was perfect. First of all I expected something else 🤣 . This book was supposed to be about Bishop going and Bringing Madison with him. Then both of them worked through their trauma but the author skipped the part. She had a 5-6 month gap in the book which pretty much took everything I wanted to read in this novella. Yupp, it wasn't even a book, it was a short novella about Madship.
I needed this closure so bad so I am happy that we finally have it but yupp, I wanted something else 😭😭 The author skipped over the angst part And the fighting. 🤣🤣 The actual scenes I wanted to read where not there but it was a general wrap up of stuff which was very very short.
Anyways, which is why I gave it a less rating. But I am so excited for the second generation!!

I just could not stop crying while reading Ruined Castle. The Elite Kings club is a legendary series and for years I have loved them and worshipped them and suffered through the heartbreak and marvelled about this epicness. Now with the final and heartbreaking happily ever after of Bishop and Madison, Amo Jones again showed how deep and intense and beautifully dark this world is.
This finale is telling the ending of the twisted tale of Madship from different view points. They are the most complex couple ever. With Madison's broken sides and her fierceness and her tortured soul. With Bishop's brutal protectiveness and dark arrogance and sinful dominance. They belong to a world that is chaotic and dangerous and edgy. Full of violence and mind games and power plays. This world affected their love that is beyond this world. They hurt each other and torn apart their own hearts and there was so much unbearable pain. But there was also hope and love and friendship and loyalty and finally healing. They are two halves of a heart. Such incredible and twisted and gut wrenching feels. At times you would want to strangle them or just slap some senses into them because they were ruining each other even when they couldn't live without each other. It was insane!All the kings and all the queens are part of this bond that never breaks. And read till the last part. Because Amo Jones has something in store for you. Because an epic and soul deep and all consuming love like the kings and queens never really have an ending.
The tears I spent while reading Ruined Castle by Amo Jones were for many reasons. For the pain and heartbreak. For the sheer undiluted raw love and passion. For this feeling of emptiness as I am going to miss them so much. Can you really feel so much for a fictional world and fictional characters? When it comes to Amo Jones and the Elite Kings Club, the answer is a resounding yes.

Wow, just wow! I'm not even sure where to start here. Ruined Castles was the perfect ending to one of my favorite series. I mean absolute pure perfection. All the questions we've had from the beginning are answered and Madship finally gets the HEA that they deserved. Their journey was emotional, raw, frustrating and heartbreaking, but beautiful in the end.
This book, this series, this world and these characters have all woven themselves deeply into my heart, and I certainly wasn't ready to say goodbye. But just knowing there will be a next-generation spin-off series has me smiling from ear to ear. I will be sitting here patiently waiting Amo. Who am I kidding? Patient? Me? LOL!
If you haven't started this series yet... What are you waiting for? The dark queen has such a way with words that you will immediately be sucked in. I can promise you this, these books are well worth every single second of your time. A real New Year's treat! All of the stars and more for Mads, Bishop and Ruined Castles!

UGHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO SAD!!! END OF AN ERA :((( but i am so excited to read the next gen!!
July 11, 2022
Ruined Castles is the eighth and final installment within the Elite Kings Club. I've always wondered what actually happened behind the scenes of the last two books. Mostly because we didn't get the full picture when it comes to the drama between Madison and Bishop. So, it was pretty nice to see what was going on through their heads at the time.
What almost broke me was a certain scene where she confessed to almost doing the unimaginable. It definitely broke Bishop when she said it and that's when he realized how badly things were. How much he messed up. How easily their lives would have changed in a single moment that he never knew existed. That was when he knew he needed to fix things between them in order to make them stronger together.
Don't get me wrong, it takes two to tango. These two both had problems that they needed to talk about and move on from. Eventually that did happen and these two worked towards a happily ever after. In the end, I'm pretty happy that they had that conversation because it opened their eyes to what they truly wanted and needed from one another.
I also feel like we might get a book about their kids. Which, I would totally be interested in. Bring on the chaos!

“Secrets are a dangerous weapon in a marriage or a relationship, especially if you start using them as weapons.”
Please know that it’s really important to read the entire series before you read this book. We are going back in time while reading this book when Madison decides to run away. Madison was never my favorite, but I promise you, you will have a newfound respect and love for her after this book. I now think this is my favorite couple out of the entire series.
Get into dive into Madison‘s head and understanding her reasons why she did the things that she did, I finally understand her. And this journey was extremely emotional. And at some points, sad. But I totally get her.
“And if in 100 years, when I decide I’ve forgiven you, then maybe-maybe-I’ll let you remember just how much I loved you.”
My heart literally broke for Bishop when we had to go back again and read about the moment that he found out that Madison “cheated.” - I literally started to cry. Even though I knew the outcome. Even though I knew the truth.
The first half of the book is in Madison‘s POV. And the second half is in Bishops POV. So we do get both characters minds.
“Don’t forget Madship.”
As readers, I don’t think we will ever forget about this duo. They are the start of this entire world. And the story took us on a journey of before Madison’s runaway adventure, what she did during her time of running away, and after when she’s back with Bishop. We get to see the beauty of her children being born. We get to see an epilogue of them together 18 years later. And you guys I’ve never cried so hard before in a Amo Jones story. It was literally everything that we readers needed it and begged for. It ended so beautifully with all the characters together and we totally know the next generation is coming full force.
“She’s my humanity, my weakness, and my fucking soulmate. I act irrationally when it comes to her. She’s both my karma and my curse.”
These two people. Man. They fucking made it. They made themselves a family. And they managed to not kill each other. Their love is so intense. There is no word for it. It’s raw, it’s crazy, it’s scary, it is so deep. But it’s Madship.

Ummmmm, but why is this perfection?
I’d been putting this one off because I didn’t want my heart to break all over again. Needless to say, certain scenes definitely took me there - there may have been tears. Lol. However, overall this was a story filled with hope and so much emotion. I loved how this book sets all the records straight, while also laying the foundation for the next generation of kings.
I didn’t think I could love BVH more, yet Amo Jones just turned me into a liar. One thing this author does so well is allow the readers to see, feel, and understand her character’s motivations. She also knows how to bring the steam. The OG baddest of the bad King still reigns supreme!
I SUPER LOVED IT!
5 STARS

What was the reason?
Nothing was resolved and what did Bishop do to earn Maddison’s forgiveness? The answer is nothing. How are we brushing over the fact that Maddison was RAPED??
This book did not give what was supposed to be gave sorry not sorry.

“He told me he loved me. And that may be true. But the only thing left between us, is broken and strewed.”
I don’t even know where to begin, once I’ll be finished with this review so will my time in the EKC world and I’m not ready for a goodbye not a little.
This series changed me, changed all of us who are now bonded by the same feeling of freedom , excitement and darkness that we won’t ever be able to leave behind.
“It’s not that we don’t love each other enough, it’s that we do so much that it consume us.”
I don’t know how to put into words what this ending is about. It’s just filled with all the unsaid words we were waiting for since the first book.
It’s everything and more you could ever wish for.
“The problem isn’t falling in love. It’s the memories you make while doing the falling that will bounce off the pavement and stab you in the heart.”
You’ll cry , you’ll get angry at Mads and Bishop but at the same time you’ll finally understand everything that was behind each decision and how they’ve come so far .
This is more than just a rollercoaster of emotions , it’s pure CHAOS and you’ll love it.
“The problem with playing cat and mouse with someone that you love is that they know how to bait you.”
All the pieces finally coming together, the puzzle is sadly complete now. We all have left now is waiting for the next generation 😉.
I’m not gonna spoiler anything, you should go blind into this one. So buckle up and enjoy one last crazy ride (for now).
“As graceful as a floating swan, but as deadly as a silver bullet, right?”
I gave it absolutely 5733746734 stars

I hope you’ll love it as much as I did.
You’ll have the best New Year Eve Ever!!!

*ARC received from author in exchange for my honest review. *
February 2021 was when I first read Silver Swan book one in The Elite Kings Club. Since then, Bishop & Madison have ruined my soul, Nate & Tillie have completely wrecked my heart and Brantley & Saint gave me the gothic fairy tale I always wanted. Ruined Castles was the end of all that, all that love, the end to the tears I shed for this beautifully fucked up family that Amo Jones created.
Brantley will always have my heart, but Bishop Vincent Fuckin' Hayes is the King and Madison his Queen. Their love was unlike anything I have read about or will ever read about of that I have no doubt because when Amo Jones writes a book she puts her entire being into it.
“We fight dirty, fuck dirty, and will most likely kill each other one day, but it’s what we both need. Two halves of the same goddamn soul.”
Ruined Castles will answer all your questions, it will have you angry at and for Madship but fuck the journey is everything. As with all her work Amo doesn't do anything without a purpose and this book proved it. While you are sitting there turning the pages of this story and you can't possibly fathom how your heart could break more, trust me it can. Embrace the chaos, drown in the blood of the Kings, and embrace all that you have been waiting for because everything and I do mean everything has been leading up to this.
Saying goodbye to The Elite Kings was far more heartbreaking than I expected it would be. This series will stay with me forever, it was the first series that I can remember shedding full sobbing tears through and thinking "there is no way that they can come back from this".
Thank you Amo Jones for creating this world and letting me fall so deep in love with The Kings. It is goodbye... but only for a little while...

„There he is. My dark prince with more passion to give than love. Unfortunately, he deserves someone else. Not someone like me. A burden.“
First of all, I have to say thank you.
Thank you, Amo, for these stunning books.
Thank you for the sleepless nights full of excitement.
Thank you for this unique series.
Thank you for letting us be a part of it.
Madison and Bishop are the couple in the whole series for me and I’ve been falling more and more in love with them since part one.
Madison is an incredibly complex character. Although it was not easy at times, I was always on her side.
And Bishop?
I don’t think I’ll ever meet a character like him again. 🔥
The book gave me everything that I wanted for my Queen and my King.
This series has been with me since 2017 and the journey is now coming to an end. On the one hand, that makes me very sad, on the other hand, I can’t wait for the spin-off to come.
But I know . . . It will be worth the wait! ❤️

★3.5/5! MADI MY BABY GET BEHIND ME! THESE THREE STARS ARE FOR MADI AND MADI ONLY. them all trying to make her the villain is a massive fuck no. the way her character was made out to be weak was hands down the worst thing. all so tillie and saint could be i don’t even know better? stronger? don’t know what Amo was aiming for. for me the series ends with their trilogy. MadiBishop i still love you it’s not your fault (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃
‘𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭.' nobody gets her like i do my strong baby, the fact her trying to commit is just brushed over? Amo done her so dirty
I WISH SHE STAYED IN NEW ZEALAND AND STARTED OVER WITH PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT HER AND HELPED HER HEAL! not going back to them selfish pricks who don’t have any time for her and push her away when a new girl comes into it.
what Bishop is this? give me back my man from the trilogy! how dare she destroy them. i’m so fucking mad that we barely got any interactions with the boys and Madi, especially her own brothers! BOOK ONE-THREE BOYS WOULD NEVER, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HER SO FAST!
Tillie: ‘I want to run. Not Madison run, workout run.’ bitch i will beat your ass don’t even! the characters apart from Madi have been ruined for me because what even was that?
Scarlett, Elena, Grace and her dad. I love you for looking after Madison when she needed it the most. TATEMADISON 🖤 GRACEMADISON 🖤
SPOILERS?
HER SHOOTING BISHOP YESS MY LOVE AS YOU FUCKING SHOULD! if you can’t tell i’m this girls #1 fan, she’s iconic as fuck!
