Crowned Duet #2
Crowned by Fate
He asked me to love him, so I engraved his name onto my heart.
He craved my loyalty, so I let him feast on my soul.
I wanted a husband, but he gave me a monster.
So, I made it my pet.
The lines between what was real and what wasn’t were blurred.
Our story was a lie.
Until now.

5 TWISTY CROWNS
Nothing is as it seems. That is the best way to describe Crowned by Fate. Every single time I thought I knew what was happening, who was on whose side, Amo dropped another bomb that blew my world apart.
Isa and Bryant are their own brand of crazy, and I kind of loved it. Even when Bryant was dominant and alpha with her, there was an underlying softness and tenderness to it. Isa is straight up crazy and I love it. She is one of the baddest heroines out there, because she doesn't care about anyone or anything. She wants and takes. FIERCE.
Together these two are explosive, making Crowned by Fate another must read for the dark romance lover.

5 *CROWNED* star
OMFG! This is EVERYTHING AND SO MUCH MORE! This is dark and twisted and it's suck your black soul and never give it back!
Crowned by Fate is the second book in Crowned Duet. It can’t be read as a standalone! You need to read Crowned by Hate first. It is a dark romance with thriller and crime elements.
We can read this story in different timeline, from Bryant and Isa’s POV. Isa is more powerfull as the first book. She is a real fighter. And Bryant ❤️ He is clever, protector and the most dominant man who I know! I’m fall in love with him.
I’m really excited for them. I want them to be happy, but I knew this was not going to be easy.
I cried a lot!!! It was a feeling like when you can't breathe!!!!

A perfectly twisted tale that had my mind running wild till the very end!
The web of deceit in this book is indescribable! I am in awe at the pure talent of Amo Jones! She Never ceases to amaze me with her vivid plot lines! Her mind is so beautifully twisted and I’m here for all of it!
The continuation and ending of Bryant and Isa’s story is going to shock and awe! The way they push each other omg! Their heat is off the charts and their emotions bleed off the page! If you haven’t started the duet start with Crowned by Hate and then dive into this beauty! Just know that nothing is as it seems and you are not ready for this but also trust that it’s everything you need!

She will steal the floor out from under you. She will shatter your heart and leave you broken. She will completely turn everything you think you know upside down. And as you are cursing her out in your head, you will know that you truly love the toture she is making you endure!! The queen of dark and twisted romance brings this duet full circle and you’ll never be the same.
Isa is not gone. She was lost inside her mind. Everyone abandoned her thinking she was gone forever. Our girl is back and she’s ready to fight.
Bryant is the man we love to hate. That’s not going to change until we know the truth. His road to redemption will be an uphill battle.
The chemistry is about as hot as it gets between Isa and Bryant. Even when they hate each other, their attraction sizzles. A connection decided by fate can’t be denied by hatred.
So many twists I can’t even begin to untangle. A love so deeply rooted, nothing can destroy it. Some family that will betray you, but other’s that will step up and stand by you.
The angst may just kill you. So many secrets my head was spinning. Don’t try and guess what the author has planned. You’ll never expect the ride you are about to take!
Buckle the eff up!!! It’s a bumpy ride!!!

This is one of the most difficult reviews for me to write. I just ugggh. I love Amo Jones. I always love her plots. She is the queen of dark romance. I’m just sad I didn’t like this one. Especially since I really did like the first book.
So as I have already stated that I’m really disappointed with this book. I just couldn’t connect with Isa at all. I did not understand her or her actions, she felt bipolar to me. One minute she is saying and doing something and the next she is doing the complete opposite. There were some scenes I had to read twice or thrice to understand what is happening or what these people are talking about and sometimes I still didn’t understand. Sooo much was happening in this book like sooo much that it was difficult for me to keep up especially since it was a quick paced book. Not as fast as the first though. I feel like because so much was happening in a short period of time even the characters weren’t able to process everything. It just got really confusing for me, the plot was all over the place.
So yeah, that’s the reason I just couldn’t like the book no matter how much I tried to. I just got a headache every time I read Isa’s POV girl was just so complicated to understand for me.

“Fuck.” He bites on my bottom lip, enough for the metallic taste of blood to cling to the back of my throat. Pressing another kiss to my lips, he slides off my body and slaps my pussy. “It’s mine whether you fucking admit it or not. She knows who her daddy is.”
THIS IS NOT A HEARTS AND FLOWERS READ. I mean, it's Amo. This story is MESSED UP. Warning you now! Again, it's Amo, and I MEAN THAT WITH UTTER RESPECT. Ok, now book rant time, grab a seat....
This duet did so many things to me, I didn't know WTF was happening because one minute I'd by jizzzing my pants, the next I'd be swearing, gasping and screaming and wanting to throw my kindle across the room saying "WHAT THE F IS THIS SHlTTT, I LOVE IT GIMME MORE!!" I don't even really know what else to say, but with my struggle reading the last few months, I freaking KNEW that the QUEEN of dark and twisted mindeffery was going to take me to the brink of I. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. And hell yes she did! TOP READ of 2020 for me. Thank you Amo Jones, for ALWAYS bringing me to places I never thought I wanted to go, and for slapping me in the face out of my book funk. AND YOU GUYS, BRYANT IS FREAKING EVERYTHING AND ONE OF MY NEW FAVE BOOK BOYFRIENDS EVER. EVER. Both books are in KU!

Any idea when this book will be released??????
May 11, 2020
„In the end, all that matters is who made it with you.”
If after reading Crowned by Hate your mind was blown away, then be prepared that after Crowned by Fate absolutely nothing will be left of it. The mindgame Amo pulled in this book has drained all of my brain cells. After the stunt Jones pulled at the end of book #1 in the Crowned Duet, I was very curious how this story will unfold. But what I have just read? It’s indescribable. I felt like I was thrown in the middle of the escape house. Pure insanity!
If you liked Isa in the previous book, then you will pay homage to her in this one. She's a real rebel queen! Though as nails, courageous, not bowing down to anyone. Even in moments when her whole life was at crossroads, she dealt with everything with her head held high. I love this badass in Louboutins!
Bryant doubled everything he was before. He's more dangerous, more ruthless and more sexy. His commanding nature radiates from the pages and immediately forces you into submission. This guy is the embodiment of a bad boy in a good suit, with a nice splash of kink.
Their story is like a tornado, which effects you cannot predict. After a moment of rotating, there may come either calmness or complete destruction. Both Isa and Bryant have very strong personalities and they clash like no other couple. But they love just as hard and the power of their feelings passes through every messed up situation. Their connection is exceptional and the passion they share is out of this world. I love these two something fierce!
Conclusion to the Crowned Duet was worth every second of the wait. Amo answered all the questions, cleared up all the mysteries, and at the same time took me on the ride of my life and showed such an epic love story that I want to cry from happiness. I devoured this book in one sitting and I wasn’t able to put it down even for a second. There are so many twists and turns that my head is still spinning. I have no idea what kind of black magic Jones practices, but her words are completely addictive. Her stories are always unique and captivating. Crowned by Fate is just another proof of it.

✨“I was built from ice, and he was made from the waters of the Atlantic, but essentially, that same ocean that created Bryant was the very same that I built my ice walls with.” ✨
I don't think there are enough words to describe what I felt reading this book.
I'm still speechless
This story really played a number on me and on my sanity(If I ever had one).
Nothing was how It looked like, everything was upside down , for a moment I really couldn't understand what was happening and how did I miss that .
It was all so twisted and filled with plot twists and revelations that I could't believe what I was reading .
✨“A love lost wasn’t yours to keep.”✨
I couldn't put It down for a second, I needed to know ASAP what was gonna happen next.
I think I finished It in less than 3 hours , and in all that time my mind was blowed away by the perfection and limitless of this amazing story.
I doubt about an happy ending for Bryant and Isa from start to finish , there where to much things that took me constantly on the edge.
Their journey was filled with tempests and hurricanes .
But the chemistry between them has always been undeniable , and Bryant's alpha behavior was everything . And how Isa always found a way to challenge him was so enjoyable.
And let's not forget about Isa and Devon bond , it was so good and filled with funny moments. Their connection was also undeniable , I loved it . It reminded me of Miles and Millie's relationship from razing grace .
✨"Loving her was a constant battle, but It was a war I was willing to die for"✨
I devoured every single page , and I enjoyed every moment .
If you loved and hated at the same time Crowned by hate , get yourself ready for another melt down .
I gave it nothing less than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hope you'll enjoy it like I did.

I'm going to rant. But this is not an angry rant. It's just a ha-ha rant.
This book has the most convoluted plot I've ever read. I think.
Have you ever watched Gag Concert (the Korean skit show)? There was this funny skit called 'Knew This Would Happen' that just beautifully described what this book was to me. It is so cringingly bad to see these characters trying to one upped each other. It was so stupid even the shocking moments, plot twists moments, I found myself laughing over them.
Like, "of course, you knew this would happen". <-- sarcastically said with rolling eyes.
Now now, let me talk about that hilarious ending, which took the drama up to high heaven, that I was confused between the book and the telenovela my mother kept binge watching during this quarantine.
I couldn't fucking believe this book. It was so bad that it was funny. I still couldn't stop laughing!

FIVE BRILLIANT STARS for Isa and Bryant ❤💜🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
THIS BOOK DESERVES MORE THAN FIVE STATS!!!
Amo did it again!!!
She won me over again with her writing style and unique story!
This book gave me all the feels!
As I read, my emotions constantly changed from fear, anger through laughter to tears to a broken heart in a thousand pieces so that in the end my heart would be filled and get the end I wanted and wished for from the beginning.
This book kept me awake all night because with each chapter the story became tenser and tenser and I couldn’t fall asleep due to too much curiosity to find out what would happen next.
It hasn't only a well-crafted plot and unforgettable characters, but each chapter contains great and true quotes that I could not help but underline.
"Crowned by Fate" is suspense romance with enemies to lovers trope and much, much more.
Isa is a female character who has been interesting to me from the beginning, and after reading this book she found a place in my heart.
Independent, brave, and without filters who will say what she thinks and who is ready to do anything to protect the people she loves.
Bryant.
A character I hate and love at the same time.
I have to admit that he often gave me a headache while reading just because I didn’t know what his hidden intentions were.
But in the end, like Isa, he grew close to my heart because of his protective attitude and unconditional love for Isa and the people he loves.
Isa and Bryant's relationship is a pure explosion and with all their imperfections they make a perfect couple.
I can't, not to mention Devon.
I fell in love again and I think I have a new book boyfriend.
Oops.
I wouldn't mind if Amo writes his book as well.
If you love Amo's writing style and you're also looking for suspense romance that will blow your mind away, this is the DUET you NEED to read the next!!!
Highly recommended!!!

As of now, 2 Stars!
I'm putting this book on hold but will mark it as read.
Will I be getting back to reading this again?
Maybe yes but probably no.
Why? I don't feel mindf*cked. Instead I felt like I was thrown a couple of twist unbeknownst to me and completely out of the blue just to make the story shocking. Was I amazed? No. I've reached 93% and I still don't have the drive to finish the book - it's been more than a month.

OMFG! You are not ready for this incredible conclusion to Crowned by Hate.
These characters drew me into this mindfuck of a story and I couldn't stop turning the pages. I needed answers! And you better bet your ass I got more than I bargained for.
You are not ready.
My emotions were all over the place. I screamed (mostly at Amo), I cried, I even begged at one point. This book was a complete mindfuck, like I would expect anything less from my Queen. But yeah, you are not ready.
And so you know, Devon has been CLAIMED. keep yo hands off MY man.

Crowned by Fate totally destroyed my emotions but it's hands down the most twisted, brilliant and mind-blowing dark romance I've ever read so far.
Isa and Bryant story took me on the wild ride through the maze of lies, betrayals and manipulations and I was astounded by their story. I totally had no freaking idea how they will get out of their mess.
You won't be certain a damn thing in this part of the story and everything you knew from the previous one will fall apart and be crashed at your feet. Amo Jones like a puppet master will skillfully played with your emotions by twisting the entire story, you never be able to figure it out.
What you can be assured of is that you will be hanging on the emotional edge with your eyes wide open and trembling heart because you are going to feel this story with every part of your body.
Author brings the darkness in the unique and sophisticated style and manner.
Crowned by Fate is the type of the story that you can't wait to find out all the answers to but at the same time don't want it let go and part ways with characters.
I need to confess that I've got a thing for bad boys and Bryant took a first place in my book-boyfriends ranking.
He was still calculating, intimidating and dangerous like untamed beast but there was even more of him I loved. When he enters the room in the story, my every nerve stand on ends. Everything around him screams power, domination and his presence near Isa always caused goosebumps on my skin.
Isa is my favorite female anti-hero, reckless and feisty to the core.
Fate wasn't on her side but she was a fighter and could handle it all.
Even thought she never experienced parental love, she was ready to fight for those who she loved the most until the last breath.
I loved how they've fueled each other. Anger blended with passion, burning down everything what was around them. Their devotion, lust and desire and deep feeling were undeniable. You could feel their sexual tension with every page turn but their relationship cracked my heart open so many times.
When I thought Amo pulled all aces from her sleeve and nothing will surprise me anymore, BAM, she dropped another twist of action and my jaw hit the floor in shock.
Entire Crowned duet is a dark masterpiece and one of those stories that will stay with you, imprinted in you mind heart and soul, forever.

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.
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.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this book.
Amo Jones has this way of writing a story that is so captivating. She has this signature style that I love. There are always so many layers to them. Crowned by Fate is full of WTF moments, twist and turns and it's utterly entertaining.
Basically her stories are BADASS !!!! She's a master at giving you that anti-hero that you would willingly follow down the dark path even when you know in your head that it's not what you should do. Dirty and delicious is one way I would describe her male characters. Fierce and strong is how I would describe her heroine in this book..
This book was suspenseful and so complex with so much happening that you need to pay attention to the details. You need to take your time with this story and not miss a beat. Truly enticing, it had me enraptured.
I also may or may not be wishing and hoping that one of the secondary characters in this gets a book of his own.

⭐5 Dark and Twisted Stars
"Enough bittersweet love to kill you, but the right dose of pain to remind you that you're alive."
A dark romance book? Yes.
A lot of plot twists? Yes.
A crazy and twisted one? Of courseee!!
This book was really really good. Amo Jones, let me tell you something...you're a queen! ❤️
I mean, the amount of times this story left me with my mouth open are insane.
If with the first one (CBH) I couldn't stop reading, I can confess this one wasn't an exception either. Amo writes these stories to make you keep reading until, without even realizing it, you have finished the book.
Also, I loooved Isa so much, she was so strong and confident. At every moment she was willing to say the first thing that came to her mind without hesitating a bit.
"When Isa is around, the whole world fucking stops. I don't mean that in a cheesy way, I mean people around her literally stop and stare." -Bryant
I highly recommend this duet if you want a story that messes with your mind!

What a mind blowing experience this book is! You must read Crowned by my Hate prior to this duet. Bryant and Isa Royal are back after the surprising and jaw dropping cliffhanger in book one. So many new characters, twists, lies and revelations my head is spinning. I can’t really say too much without spoilers. This is a brilliant, exhilarating, psychological romantic suspense. All your questions will be answered but be prepared to work/suffer for them first. Bryant is well...WOW and Isa is such a strong character. If you love a book that makes you think and contemplate what’s happening until the very end then you’ll want to read this duet! Told in dual POV

If you think you know the limit to where Amo Jones can go, you are dead wrong.
If you think you have a hang of the twisted and dark mindgames Amo Jones can play with you, you are, AGAIN, dead wrong.
If you think you will come out on the other side of Crownd by Fate with any piece of your sanity and soul intact, you are dead wrong.
And if you think you can get ready or be prepared for the ridiculously addictive and sensational ride Amo Jones will take you on, YOU ARE DEAD FREAKING WRONG!
I am not sure if I am sure what I just read. I just know I am blessed to read such genius level of writing. And you are going hate yourself forever if you miss this.
Period.
Isa and Bryant's story took every ounce of my heart and soul. I am emotionally spent. Isa is the most intriguing girl I have ever met in a romance. And that's something considering it's Amo Jones we are talking about. She is reckless. She is impulsive. She takes rebellion very seriously. She has a spine of steel and she knows how to use her sexuality as a weapon. She is unapologetically inappropriate and all sorts of crazy. And she has the most sensitive and loving heart behind all the broken pieces. I love her. I want to protect her even when this badass girl needs no protection.
And then there is Bryant. A true monster through and through. Don't try to find out light and softness because you will find none. Amo Jones made him a dark person every single way. And, god help me, I love his darkness to the last moment. He is ruthless. He is merciless. His heart is a damaged mangled thing. Even his love for Isa is a toxic thing that pours into the deepest corners of their soul. They make love like they are trying to kill each other. It is no fairy tale. Their story is violent, explosive and all consuming. The happily ever after comes at a cost of blood, sweat and tears. They will never be a normal couple because their love crosses the boundaries of normality.
Crowned by Fate has a maddening story line. I kept stopping and stalling and repeating lines to be sure I am not missing something .Amo Jones delivered punches after punches and I had whiplash from the twists and turns.Yes it's Top Read 2020. Yeah it's Must Read Romance 2020. Yeah it's another Amo Jones Masterpiece. But nothing can tell you how incredibly insane and mindblowing this story is.
Received ARC for honest review.

Read more of my reviews at Whoo Gives A Hoot

Crowned by Fate is the highly anticipated conclusion to Amo Jones' dark and twisted Crowned Duet that readers have all been (im)patiently waiting for since arriving at that cliffhanger ending from Crowned by Hate. This mindf*ck ending was a readers worst nightmare, you know the kind where you find yourself on edge, even days after finishing. I couldn't even imagine how readers who have been waiting YEARS to get their hands on this story managed to deal with the wait because I was fortunate enough to dive into book two right away.
Isa and Bryant's journey became my addiction and I once again found myself consumed by the words of their dark and twisted love story. Their rollercoaster romance left me completely breathless and I couldn't get enough of that ache that formed in deep in my soul. Amo Jones' beautifully unique storytelling will invoke feelings that you never experienced before and you will be left an addict for her words. She just knows the perfect way to draw you in and leave you guessing the entire time you are devouring all the words.
This story was everything and I think Isa and Bryant's chemistry was turned up a notch or two because holy sh*t did is set my soul on FIRE, even more so than before. I adored Isa in the first book, but I think I might have formed a slight (okay more like a major) LADY CRUSH on her. She has this strength that you just can't help but fall in love with! Every moment of this story drew me in and I have to say that the author gave her readers the ending that these two deserved. I must warn you all that you should probably (like for real) clear your entire schedule for the day so that you can experience this in one sitting because there is NO FREAKING WAY that you will be able to tear yourself away!

First of all, I will say that to be able to enjoy this book, you have to forget the essence of Crowned by Hate.
You will have the love/hate story of Bryant and Isa, and you also have a few others characters from the first book (like Devon, Jess, Brianna and Jerry) but that's it... All the others characters are left behind and new ones comes to play.
About Jerry or Jer, in CBH he was the MIB responsible for Isa's security as daughter of the president of US, but in this one, he'd take Brian's place, as security and driver working for Bryant, and also as father figure for Isa. Yeah... I don't know why or if it was just a mistake, since the first book was written 3 years ago.
Ooookay... About the story... I don't know how the creative process of an author works, when it comes to standalones, duets, trilogies or series, because I don't think that wait 3 years to resume the story, worked really well here.
We have finished CBH with a huge cliffhanger, and a crazy plot twist. With baby murdered, psychosis, double personality, a couple of assassin's as husband and best friend, among other crazy stuff...
Sure thing after 3 years, this wasn't what the author wanted any more, cause it was all twisted around, and a lot of huge changes are made in the prologue and first chapter already.
I love Amo's writing style, and reading both books as one, since I had to wait until the duet was complete to start reading, and to not go nuts, and I feel a little cheated, cause I was expecting the evolution of the things that were left hanging on, and a lot of things weren't even mentioned.
So as a duet, my mind is like Isa's fishnet tights! Lots of brilliants holes in the story.
So as an unique book, I liked Crowned by Fate... A story about trust (or not trust at all) and acceptance, but with so much hidden secrets, that at some point, you just can't handle it any more... How you can just lie and mess up with someone's mind so much, when you keep saying that you love her?
I couldn't handle the fact that everyone just left Isa to root at that facility... Everything screams weak love story. Bryant give her up too fast. He was always wanting her trust, when he gives her nothing back.
She was always struggling with the only lie that she was holding up, while he had the acknowledge of every single secret (including her own), and he have never shared nothing in good will.
I don't love it because I couldn't even recognize the personality of Isa and Bryant. Amo have changed a lot about the characters, and that's an issue, since it's a duet. Isa was always doubting herself and Bryant, but also was hot for him all the time... Even with him moving on after her and getting engaged. Fast isn't?
I had so much more to say, but I'm done and tired.
I wanted to give this book at least 4 Stars, but after my review, I guess that I will stay on 3.

Firstly you need to read Book 1 Crowned by Hate before you read this book; but this book! This fucking book! If you thought that you couldn't get anymore twists then what Amo threw at you in Crowned By Hate then you better be prepared to buckle up, enjoy the ride and hope you can swim because Amo is about to throw you in the deep end with this one.
Bryant and Isa's story continues following on from that cliffhanger ending of Book 1. Isa is even more of the fierce, sultry Queen Bee and she has sharpened her sting ready for battle. Bryant is an even bigger Alpha-hole than he was before and I didn't think that was possible. He is smooth as silk but don't be fooled, his edges are sharp and believe me he cuts deep! These two characters dig under your skin and you can't not be swept up in their love affair.
Devon, oh Devon how he turned out to be one of my favourite secondary characters ever! I think I might just keep him despite his sins. Amo masterfully crafted this novel to have you so invested, you are blindsided by every twist and turn that comes your way and there are many! What I loved about this novel was the suspense of it, the element of surprise, the meticulously thought out subplot beyond the romance. Most of all I loved how Bryant and Isa combust around each other, they are constantly at war, yet there is no other person made just for them. Her soothes her soul, her fractured mind and she brings a king to his knee's in all the ways that matter.
The Crowned Duet is a twisted tale of hate, betrayal, loyalty, love, sacrifice and vengeance. A fight to reign, a tale of the hunter and his prey, a King and his Queen. A romance crafted in darkness but shines bright.

„People talk about how powerful the word love is, but neglect to mention the potency of being unloved. It’s crippling to your mental health and leaves stains as dark as an ember on your soul.“
That was a masterpiece! Absolutely a masterpiece!
From the beginning I was a part of this story. From the first page I couldn‘t put it down.
I adore Amo‘s books since I read the Elite King‘s Club series in 2018 and I am so glad that I discovered her.
The Story hypnotized me and made me feel so many things. I cried during the fist 20% multiple times. It was so emotional and full of feelings. The whole story had so many emotional moments. There was pain, loneliness, love, strength and loyalty.
But in the end I have to say that the end was f****** perfect.
Amo Jones created so many plottwists and „what the hell“ moments for me that I loved every page of this story. I couldn’t do anything else than to inhale it.
You can see so much of Amo‘s writing style in this and I have to admit that this is one of the best books Amo has ever written. ❤️
Thanks to Amo and Socialbutterfly PR for sending me a copy of „Crowned by Fate“!

The Story hypnotized me and made me feel so many things. I cried during the fist 20% multiple times. It was so emotional and full of feelings. The whole story had so many emotional moments. There was pain, loneliness, love, strength and loyalty.
But in the end I have to say that the end was f****** perfect.
Amo Jones created so many plottwists and „what the hell“ moments for me that I loved every page of this story. I couldn’t do anything else than to inhale it.
You can see so much of Amo‘s writing style in this and I have to admit that this is one of the best books Amo has ever written. ❤️
Thanks to Amo and Socialbutterfly PR for sending me a copy of „Crowned by Fate“!

Such a PERFECT ending! Isa and Bryant's story comes to an end and I couldn't be more devastated. To say their story was a roller coaster is an understatement. Honestly, I got pulled into this book by Amo Jones and didn't let go until the very last page. There was mystery, love, craziness ( a whole lot of it) and all of that made the experience so much better! Every piece falls into place and there is such a relief when you start understanding the "why" of everything. GREAT DUET

***5 mindblowing stars***
NOW AVAILABLE!!!
"Not all truths should rise. Some should be doused in lies and remain buried.-Isa"
Honestly, i don't know how Amo is doing it!!!!
Her writing is addictive and their characters, no matter how good or bad, are pulling you under their spell!!!!
I don't have to tell you that this book have to be read after "Crowned by Hate", right??? It is a given!!!!
Well, after that ending in the first book, i was losing my mind with assumptions!!!!
What the hell had happened??? What the hell will happen???
"I sunk deeper and deeper into oblivion. The unknown. The darkness that holds no promises."
The truth is that i was never prepared of the truths that this book revealed....
There were so many secrets and lies in here after all, so many fucked up games!!!!
But i loved every single moment in here, even much more than the first book!!!!
But honestly, i didn't know what to believe in some point...
What was the truth and what was the lie???
Amo is very skillful to play with your mind. No????
"My name is Isa Royal.
Bryant Saint Royal is my husband.
I didn't have to fear death, I am death. It follows me everywhere."
Well, Isa is in a bad place at the moment. Everything are tumbling down around her...
She don't know what to believe.... What is truth and what is a lie??? Who is with her and who is against her???
And the things got more complicated when the love of her life seems to be against her too!!!!
She had trusted him and he had betrayed her and now, the only thing she wants is ... revenge!!!!
"Part of my heart has broken beyond repair. Not all wounds can be fixed."
"Trust. That word is supposed to be one of promise, a display of loyalty and love. It's nothing but another lie to me."
Well, I can not say much more, but nothing was as it seemed in here...
Isa and Bryant for once again were in the same place, but miles apart of each other....
The hatred had made for once again its appearance, but their strong love was shining from time to time confusing the things furthermore...
What was real after all???? What was the game that everyone was playing???
Is there a hope for this great, fucked up love to be salvageable???
"Be careful, okay? Bryant is still the beast that you should fear, even though his teeth appear to be blunt when it comes to you."
"I turned my wrath into goddamn poison and forgot how to protect these I loved from being touched by it."
For once again, I loved Isa!!!! And i believe that i loved her more than the first book!!!
She was more mature, even though hotheaded and stubborn. Some things never really change after all, no???
But i believe that her love for Bryant changed her and even though she was feeling betrayed by him, she was determined to get to the bottom of this fucked up situation, no matter what...
I loved how feisty and determined she was, and I loved that she couldn't stay untouched by Bryant's reach!!!
"I'll drink his poison and die for all my sins. I'm that stupid."
"Bryant assumes that he has been my biggest warfare, but he's wrong. My soul is the most complicated war I've ever had to battle against."
Well, that man.... Hell!!! That man is gorgeous in every aspect.
He is so calculated, so focused, so strongwilled!!!! His qualities are admirable in every way!!!!
Isa tried many times to outrun him very cleverly, but he was always some steps ahead of her...
Yep, this man was dangerous and he had so many hidden secrets, but he always had one end goal!!! Her....
And i loved how protective he was of her, even though he was masking it as indifference!!!!
"Loving you is a constant battle, but it's a war I'm willing to die for."
"She's someone I can trust.
I can go to war beside.
But now, I'm not going to war beside her, I'm going to war against her."
Isa and Bryant were born for each other and that's the honest truth!!!!
They were fighting a lot, they had trust issues, but there was an undeniably connection between them...
Their love was too strong and each encounter between them steamier and hotter than the previous, even if they were just fighting...
I'm so happy that I've read their story, even though it was so fucked up!!!
I was built from ice, and he was made from the waters of the Atlantic, but essentially, that same ocean that created Bryant was the very same that I built my ice walls with."

*ARC Review*
Its bittersweet, to come to a conclusion after this super crazy ride, but it was perfect in every way!
There is finally clarity in my life, Crowned by Fate give the much needed answers after reading Crowned by Hate.
Amo once again, KILLED it with this book! This book was out of this world. Just when you think you're starting to piece it all together and think you have things figured out, Amo will flip the script on you and have you asking so many more questions. Crowned by Fate, will give you whiplash from how quickly you can change your emotions toward a character. You honestly will be able to feel the emotions the characters feel while reading.
I love all of the characters! I have a crush on Isa, she is such a powerful woman. I can't even imagine going through everything she has. Bryant....DAMN! He just kept getting hotter as the book went on. The chemistry and passion between the two is HOT! Cold showers are highly recommended to take while reading this book. I absolutely love the games and tricks between them, sometimes they were heartbreaking, but other times it was so entertaining!
All of the books I've read by Amo holds a lesson to real life, whether it be about yourself or other people, it holds whats should be believed in and not to give into the wrongness of the world. This book is goes one in the same. There is wisdom throughout the entire thing.
Thank you Amo for once again leaving me speechless with such a phenomenally written book. I am always in awe after I've read your books.

Once again Amo proves why she is the Queen. This book was packed full of intense chaos that only Amo can write so well. Even after 3 years since book 1, Amo brought me right back into the world of Isa and Bryant like I never left.
This book was a total mindf**k, with one thing after the other. It was an intense ride, but one I would go on time and time again. From page 1, I was completely captivated, sucked in to the story of Isa and Bryant. Bryant and Isa’s story is a perfect storm, raw and unfiltered. Amo Jones keeps you at the edge of your seat and strikes like a viper bringing you to your knees.
This story was nothing short of pure twisted perfection. Just when you think you have something figured out, nope you’re wrong. Amo constantly keeps you guessing and craving more and when the story ends you feel like you lost a little piece of yourself right along with the story but you have also gained something too.
Isa and Bryant’s story is one that will go down in the books. It’s compelling, twisted, dark and absolutely delicious. This book has everything you could want and more. Amo Jones once again creates an absolute masterpiece!

The ending of this beautiful duet could not have been any better than this. The struggles and battles both Bryant and Isa had gone through individually and together can inspire someone (aka me) more than I thought possible. This duet was nothing short of incredible and i’m gonna miss Isa and Bryant’s chaotic relationship. Nothing but pure love and admiration for Amo Jones, her characters and her writing, as always.

I have no words, other than... what a ride!

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW OMG Amo Jones is absolute GENIUS!
Holy **** she wasn’t kidding when she said her beta readers were swearing at her reading this lol I seriously wanted to fly to NZ and smack her....
I’m not going to spoil this masterpiece because you guys truly need to experience this incredible story one we’ve all been waiting for and let me tell you guys it’s totally worth the wait. All those questions you had throw them out the damn window lmao because Amo throws in some new and bloody evil new twists in her own very unique way, and yes they do get answered I’m kidding about that but not about new twists.....
Bryant sweet lord that man is EVERYTHING! When I wanted to slap him he totally did a 1-80 on my arse yes the man can melt your panties off but also frustrate that shite out of you. At the end of the day his love for Isa shines through everything he does to protect her is evident.
Isa this woman has the spirt to conquer most things in her life and she does so big time, you can’t underestimate her fight and heart to put things right and care for those she loves....but let me tell you this girl can handle Bryant like no other she torments him knowing what he’s thinking but still doing it anyway lol she had me laughing.
I adore Amo Jones she writes such incredible characters ones you take to your heart and these guys will forever stay in my heart, it’s a bittersweet feeling tbh we’ve all been waiting for this book but knowing this is the last in the series makes me sad...Thank you Amo for giving us the perfect ending.
