It Ends With Violence is the third and final book in the Saint View Psychos trilogy by Elle Thorpe. This might have been one of the most intense books of the two trilogies I’ve read so far. And so many shocking twists and turns! Just a note that these three books need to be read in order. They can not be read as stand alones.
As before, this book starts right out where the previous book ended. It was heart breaking what happened to our group of guys and Bliss. But they pulled together because Vincent was missing and they would do whatever was necessary to get him back.
The connections really strengthened between them all in this book. They finally realized the depths of their feelings for one another. I would never have thought I would fall so in love with Scythe/Vincent but I did. My one complaint is that I would have liked more closure on the whole Gus/Siren thing. All of a sudden, that part of things was just over! No matter how many times I thought I had things maybe figured out, this author managed to surprise me and prove me wrong. I think I “gasped” out loud more than once!
We get quite a teaser into the next series which is Rebel’s series called Saint View Rebels. I can’t wait to read it. Also, there is an amazing extra epilogue at the author’s website. It was perfect! I’ve probably said it before but I love the way this author writes. I’m both wanting to read every minute I can to see what happens next but also, not wanting it to be over. It’s a good thing I have the next series waiting for me.

Unpredictable!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙❤️💜
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘
World building: 🌏🌍🌏
Character development: 😊😘😟
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Duet Narration
The heroine: Bliss - she inherited a bar called the Saint View Psycho’s from her brother Axel who was recently murdered. The bar has been hosting illegal sex parties once a month and sells drugs at those parties. That is where she makes all her money, so she increased the parties to once a week. She is in love with three men.
The Heroes: Nash, War & Vincent - the men in Bliss’s life.
Nash - The manager of Saint View Psychos. He was Axel’s best friend and he had been keeping some secrets from Bliss, which she recently found out.
War - he is the president of the Saint View Slayers motorcycle club, and he had been falling in love with Bliss and Scythe. He had been searching for the man that killed his father and recently found out the truth.
Vincent/Scythe - he works as a bouncer at Saint View Psychos, he has dissociative identity disorder. He escaped from a prison mental ward and his mother is a crazy control freak who wants to keep him in line.
The Story: the last book ended in a whopper of a cliffhanger with a ton of things going on and going wrong. I don’t want to give it away for those who haven’t yet read that book but suffice it to say that everything is up in the air with all of our main characters, and they are all in trouble in different ways.
For a while I liked where the story was going, but after a while some things happened which were so unrealistic and beyond coincidental that it was just a bit too much for me. Some of the villains in this series just kept coming back like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Also, I hate it when main characters do stupid things and when villains are caricatures instead of characters. Though the story did get a bit better as it went along, and I liked that it was unpredictable as too many romance books have such predictable storylines.
This audiobook was done in multiple points of view via duet narration. It was narrated by Michelle Price and Gregory Salinas. Michelle Price has been growing on me more and more as this series goes along. She is good at having different voices for different characters and I like her a lot more than I did at the beginning of the series. Gregory Salinas has a deep, yet soft voice which I really enjoy. He tries to have different voices for different characters, but I often have to use context to figure out which character is talking.

Get it here:
Amazon US * Amazon UK
Overall, I enjoyed these characters and their story but I can't say I loved it. The romance felt weak at times and the connection between all of the characters wasn't as strong as I would have wanted. The ending also didn't give as much attention to Axel's death as I expected it to so it ended up feeling a little rushed.

A Throuple w/ a side piece 🤭
Love Bliss, War, and Scythe/Vincent in a relationship. If the romantic part of the story focused on building a relationship with War and Vincent, I’d love them even more. (I get they don’t have the same relationship as Scythe, but I felt like we barely got Vincent in the dynamic🙁 I’d love to see a genuine friendship form at least)
Nash serves no purpose for me other than a reason why Bliss returned to Saint View; beyond that, there’s nothing there, just sexual tension Frfr. He added nothing and took away nothing. His best friend died and he did relatively nothing to figure it out Fr. Asking a bunch of people at his funeral to come forward if they killed him wasn’t smart nor was it beneficial. What killer you know is gonna step forward confessing to murder, surrounded by a bunch of people who’d kill them if they step forward??? What sense did that make?! None!!😒
^ Let's not forget how prejudiced he is btw. The first time Bliss told him a lil about her life in Providence, he sat there comparing trauma stories and making it seem like what she’s gone through is nothing because he’s gone through worse. Ugh🤢. That’s not the last time or the first time he’s done it btw. Bliss merely told him the last time she saw her mother and he took that as a queue to discuss how “naive” she is and how much she doesn’t live the Saint View life. Like, DUHH…the whole purpose of sending her there is so she wouldn’t have experienced the stuff you did, but now that she hasn’t, she suddenly can’t remotely understand trauma or living in a tough place?!
Don’t even get me started on spending so much time telling her she’s not cut out for Saint View, nor does she know anything about it, yet he did nothing to educate her. He let her lead blindly, even though he had the means to fully prepare and educate her on all things Saint View and Psychos🙄. Really can’t stand Nash and all his ignorant ways. He’s also a bland romantic interest. We still don’t know where this man live or what he do on his free time. He has no other personality trait besides; lusting after his best-friends sister, running a bar, supposedly being very kinky, and an ex-Pimp. Which could’ve made him interesting, instead I really couldn’t care less about his past or how he spends his day🤷🏾♀️.
Bliss pissed me off in this book. She did a whole bunch of stupid shit to prove her worth and it cost her. I also hated the whole “heart of gold” approach she had with Siren, Gus, Jerry, and Caleb. All of those people deserved death, so why is only one of them dead?! Why does no one else know what Caleb looks like?! Wasn’t he in Saint View in the first book, there had to be a reason why he was there. You see a guy like him in that hood, you’re gonna notice him. Nash made sure we knew the rich folk stood out among the poor. Especially since it wasn’t a Psychos party night when Vincent saw Caleb go into Saint View.
Why were so many of the bad guys spared? Why didn’t anyone look for Caleb? Why wouldn’t you show the MC, and anyone that worked in the bar or stayed there regularly, a picture of Caleb or any of the bad guys, that way people knew who the enemy was?
A lot didn’t sit right with me in this book. Not even the baby addition could make me bump it up. Its really more like 2.8 if I’m being honest. There was way to much sex and not enough investigating or death going on. Nash is an utter disappointment that serves so purpose Frfr. Also for an assassin, why wouldn’t Scythe just kill them and take whatever punishment Bliss gave him after? She’d get over it and when they carved up Caleb, she admitted to liking the feeling. So why couldn’t we stay with that version? Why did we get someone who’s afraid to do people the same way they did her? 🙄
2.8. Not even Vincent/Scythe and War could change this.
(Also, I read the bonus chapter, why the hell is it so short and where’s the rest of the little anecdotes? Why did I get 3 long chapters from another book?! 😐)

Boy go on with your muppet eye brows.
And Bliss? You can just go.
Only redeemable character is Scythe/Vincent. Verdict is still out on War since I've still got 40% left to read. But I feel pretty confident about my opinions so far...
UPDATE: Finished.
Somewhere along the way this author decided everyone could do anal with zero prep and all the good feels. Wtaf lady. Between the anal with zero pain or prep and Bliss being actually too gd stupid to live, I just can't with her. There is a very interesting world here, and very intriguing characters, but wtaf with why Bliss is so stupid and these sex scenes are so unrealistic. It makes me want to chuck my Kindle against the nearest wall. I cannot let myself be sucked into another world that isn't worth my time.
Repeat after me: I Will not read any more in this universe. I will not read ANY more in this universe. I will NOT read any more in this universe.
Now I just need to repeat it enough I can hold myself to it. If only there wasn't some good writing in here. If only there was an interesting world. If only there wasn't an absolutely useless waste of space mfc I hate with the heat of a hundred suns... {{{(>_<)}}}
At least it gave me the fun wonder that is Scythe/Vincent and War 🖤

Oh my fucking God!!!!
I like the first one, the second is meh and this one is terrible!
I couldn't finish it because of how awful the character development is, literally there is cero none nada.
Every decision that Bliss made was pathetic and idiotic as fuck. Without mentioning that she was so judgy, like girl please shut your privileged mouth up.
Nash is so bland and sometimes I forgot he was there.
War needs to get his shit together and take control of his MC, his fucking legacy.
Vincent/Scythe is the only character that I could rescue.
That's it, I'm disappointed because this had so much potential.

I stopped reading around 70% because I just didn’t care anymore. I’m over plot lines where everything would be solved if people just communicated with each other. Like that’s not a conflict, that’s an immature character.
November 29, 2023
This is the conclusion to the series and one thing you can't deny is that this series is absolutely mental and completely over the top but I was also at the same time kinda digging that vibe but I do wish though that Bliss would embrace her inner psycho more as in my opinion she's way to forgiving and I do prefer my FMCs a tad more stabby and vengeful than she is.
Still, this was enjoyable and it did keep my attention with all of its outrageous twists and turns and the heat was also off the charts. We do get our HEA in a very soap operish way but that was also definitely half of the appeal with this one all of the flamboyant over-the-top scenarios.
We get treated to two epilogues a heartwarming one with Bliss and her men and the the second one was totally gut-wrenching so polar opposites. Overall this had equal positives and negatives and Scythe is still its top selling point for me.

This was too much. Honestly dragged on for much longer than I could handle. I'm so dissapointed. I loved the Saint View Prison series. It was great and I loved the plot. But this is too much. These characters range from 20s to early 40s and they're immature and too fucking dumb to be in charge of businesses and what not.
Bliss is annoying as hell and so naïve. She is frustrating and makes the dumbest choices.
I stopped at 84% because I just couldn't take any more. I was already zooming through and skipping paragraphs because the dialogue was too much. Skipping sex scenes. I LOVE SEX SCENES. Bliss' inner monologue was truly torturous. Bliss was raped and SA like atleast five times and I feel like it was just skipped by in terms of someome caring for her.

This series was going SO WELL!
Do you know what I personally don't like?
Unanswered questions/inconsistencies.
Ugh. I don't want to make up the answers in my head. I want it all wrapped up with a nice bow at the end for these characters.
How did they find her keys? Last she lost them after carving into Caleb's chest.... It's stupid.. I know. Does it bug me? Yes. He hot wired her car. She lost her keys. It was mentioned 🤷🏻♀️
Speaking of Caleb, how the hell did he KNOW when Bliss wasn't going to be at the bar, when he went to see Rebel MULTIPLE TIMES? Not buying it. 🥴
Gus- why was it his idea to kill off Army and Fancy? Did I miss something? I get that his daughter wanted to be with the prez of the club, so I got her motives, but what was he gaining?🤔 He just fled and we're good with that? Wasn't he running his own MC chapter? He leave them behind too?
Scythe's mom- She's just suddenly ok with him being with Bliss after he threatened her once? What did she promise Jezebel to agree to the marriage? Jezebel is just okay with not marrying him then?
Hawk/MC- Soooooo everyone is now ok with him being bi, when it was SUCH a big deal before?
Promises promises of sexy times in the clubhouse too.... 😒

4.5
Im so sad it took me so long to find this series. I loved it so much. Definitely one of my favorite RH. Each man is great in their own way & aside from the idiotic decision Bliss makes towards the end i was happy with how this wrapped up everything.
Everytime i thought “man i wish this would happen” the next chapter was exactly that.
If u tend to stick to mm books u will be pleased with War & Scythes relationship here. 🔐they were doing it for me
Im gonna read the other series by this author

I don’t know what it is, but as I read the series I found myself caring less and less about the characters. The fact that Bliss’s father is the one that killed her brother seemed very unrealistic to me based on his other behavior/personality. I get that being under stress for his business and his wife falling in love with someone else might make a guy snap, but it just didn’t read well to me. I was also unsatisfied that Caleb continued on to abuse Rebel. I was really expecting some retribution for him and the fact that I have to read other three books to get it isn’t going to happen.

Utterly Disappointed
How the heck did we go from the first two books to this?
1. Trying to figure out what Nash’s purpose was
2. Didn’t like Bliss in this one. Her ‘compassion’ is more like gullible and naive.
3. This book was overdone with the fat references. And this cockamamie story about her not being able to ever get pregnant because she’s overweight 🙄🙄
4. The Gus storyline fell off and was forgotten
And really with the “Bonus” Epilogue????
Scythe/Vincent was the 2 ⭐️ for me. He is EVERYTHING with all of his quips! 🤣🤣🤣

I was really looking forward to the conclusion of the Saint View Psychos and it pains me to say it but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I was expecting this big balls-to-the-wall fight over what happened in book 2 but it never happened. It was like some of it was pushed to the side and forgotten, while others were dealt with to a certain extent and the rest was wrapped up nice and quick.
I know there is another series to come and I think it has to do with War's MC so I'm hoping some of the unfinished business will be mentioned in it. As for the conflict between War and Scythe/Vincent, it was a little brushed aside in my opinion. We know he didn't kill his father but I thought there should have been more of a conversation about the whole incident and the secret keeping and the fact that Vincent/Scythe are two people in one. Psychos, the drug dealer, Siren all of that felt a little brushed over to me all being dealt with rather quickly. The big mystery about who killed Axel was a nice twist I didn't see coming till it was right on top of us.
All of my disappointments aside I did love this series and I did really like It Ends With Violence. I just had hoped for a more epic ending I guess.
Still can't wait to go back to Saint View, especially with that epilogue Elle left us hanging on.
.
.
.
Psychos has been destroyed, Nash and Bliss are arrested, Vincent/Scythe has been taken by Tabor, and War is left with the mess of it all and the fallout with his club for not ending Scythe. They have no idea what they are going to do now but they all have the need to find their way back to each other. Despite the secrets, the lies, and the hurt they need each other now more than ever.
When Bliss, Nash, and War are reunited the hunt is on to get Vincent back. He's not in prison like they thought though, Tabor had other plans and Caleb is determined to get what Tabor promised him. With the help of some friends though they are able to get Vincent before it's too late.
Now reunited they have to decide where to go from here. War struggles with his mixed feelings for Scythe. While Vincent tries to keep Scythe locked away. Nash works to convince Bliss that Psychos is worth saving. Biss will have to decide if and how to save the club and herself with the debt she made getting the party supplies.
With everything going on they aren't expecting to stumble onto War's father's real killer and what that means for him and the club. They also aren't prepared for who killed Axel and why.
When the dust settles they'll finally have found their place together and have a chance at a real life with a whole new set of friends.
"Even if I have to listen to those two make old man jokes for the rest of my life... I'm all in. Even with you two assholes."
Happy Reading.

4.5 🌟
This book wasn't quite 5 stars, but I loved it nonetheless. Still, book 2 in the series remains superior to me. I wanted more Vincent, though. I know book 1 was all about Vincent and War, but I just felt like somehow Vincent was a little overshadowed by Scythe, although I loved them both equally. Scythe was just so hilarious and unhinged at the same time. I loved his humour.
This book was ups and downs with drama, and just when I thought we would never find out who Axel's killer is, the bomb dropped, and boy, did it drop!! My jaw was on the floor. Anyhow, it was such an enjoyable ride. The smut was a plus, of course, but the tension between the characters, the suspense, the mystery, the romance. So good.
Cannot wait to read Rebel's story, which is the next trilogy and finally see Caleb finally going down ark.

This last installment does offer some much needed answers and finally, we discover who Axel's killer was. Quite a few dangers here for the FMC and her guys, but they did work as a united front and got their happily ever after.
Unfortunately, this has been my least favourite book in the series as the whole truth surrounding Axel's death was just slightly too trivial or at least that is how I felt about it. I do not like OW drama and the whole Siren thing was a bit unnecessary here as the characters had plenty of other obstacles on their way.
I did find the series engaging and for sure, I would be reading Rebel's story.

If definitely ended with violence.... with me chucking my phone. Can't say I recommend this.
At the end of the last book, we left off with Psychos being raided, War confronting Scythe about potentially killing his father, Bliss and Nash finally getting naked, Scythe being taken by the prison warden, and finally Vincent replacing Scythe. I obviously can't give more info than that in case you still want to read this.
For me - this ship sank real quick.
Bliss: I ended up disliking her. Any time she heard something negative about one of the men, she was so quick to cut them off. WTF? Then the entire situation with her mom. I know Ms. Dess felt the heart squeeze on that one, but I didn't. Maybe because I was already past irritated with Bliss?
Scythe/Vincent: Well..... I hated the way this turned out. They didn't merge the way we thought they would. So, one personality is out for a while and then another personality is out. That'd be ok except . I just hated the way the author handled it. I ended up not loving Vincent the same way I did in Book 1. I only want Scythe now.
Sex: Honestly, there isn't much. AND this author is the queen on cockblocks. At least 85% of the sex scenes are interrupted at some point. I'm not a fan of edging but this author clearly is.
War/Scythe: They are the ONLY good thing to come out of this trilogy. I loved their banter and fuck me that sex was HOT. I wanted a whole book of just them.
Mystery: I was actually surprised by one of the mysteries that was solved and that almost made me rate this higher. I truly didn't see it coming at all.
This Book: Besides how I felt about the characters, I think the author really screwed up for me because she added SEVERAL more POVs from other characters that I didn't give a shit about! I was LIVID. When there is a bad guy, we know they're going to do bad guy things, we don't need their POV on why they decide to do that. For one thing, it's usually obvious and the truth always comes out when that person is finally confronted. Adding all the POVs seriously took away from the story. Plus, there were several POVs that were put there to get you interested in their future books. I hate when author's do that. It's a disservice to the characters in this book. Don't try to sell me on a new series when you can't even focus on a making this one good. Finally - I never believed the "love" between the 4 characters. The only love I believe is War & Scythe. Now THAT was a hot/sweet love story. I didn't feel at any point Bliss actually cared for these men - seems she only wanted to fuck them. I've got no problem with that - but I don't think it was love.
Unresolved: I was really pissed at so many things left open. These are spoilers so if you plan on reading, then don't read this complaint.

3rd book is a flop
Really liked the first 2 books. This one was literally all over the place for plot. I felt like I got whiplash with the amount of disorganized plot that was happening. Sycth and War Rebel, were the only characters who didn’t seem annoying towards the end. Also not big fan of how the epilogues were done

Well shit. There was a lot going on in this series. Def not my favorite, but I'd say it was decent.
December 19, 2022
So I DNFed 62% as soon as the pregnancy trope came up. I absolutely detest that trope in my book! To the point that I will drop it like a hot potatoes and don’t care to know about who killed axel!
I just couldn’t get through the last book. Here are the reasons why.
1. I missed scythe. He was the absolute best. Hilariously funny, not caring, smoking hot and dirty! Just the way I like it. So my greatest disappointment came from him not being in.
2. I loved the relationship between War and scythe. I wanted to feel the heart break, the betrayal, love and hot sword crossing which I didn’t get.
3. Did I mention I miss scythe?
4. Nash…. In the second book he said “you don’t know what you are getting yourself into”. Oh boy did I imagine he was gonna be hard ass and dirty one in bed. Instead I got a pussy whipped meh guy. Like seriously! He had such a potential to be a dirty filthy boy…. Yet he was a goody old shoes with big 🍆.
5. Bliss oh bliss. I liked her when she toughened up and found her back bone. But omg the whole baby pregnancy and not being able to get pregnant, and I’m fat trope. I just couldn’t. I just couldn’t cope.
6. I really really really missed scythe.
7. The rest of the crew I just couldn’t care about.
So yeah it was a good enough series, but the last book I wanted more angst and heartbreak and good old banging. What I got was pussy whipped old fella with a pregnant girl. Gosh give me a break, will ya?

I’m crying because it’s over, because I’m shocked, and because I’m happy. This was such a wonderful series. It is definitely my favorite of different the Saint View series.
This had everything we as readers needed to end this wonderful story. The answers were shocking and some were down right upsetting, but they were needed and satisfactory. I’m thankful for the twist and turns because it wasn’t one of those “oh I totally saw that coming” type of ending at all.
If you’re in this for Bliss’s journey, you’ll be pleased to know she definitely shows the growth she’s had since meeting her men. She’s confident in herself and her body, which was lovely to read about.
All the men, and yes I mean ALL (as in 4, we’re counting Vincent and Scythe as two) are shown to each have their own role in her life while still meshing together perfectly ❤️ (I mean that in the metaphorical AND physical (🥵) sense).
Overall, this was a perfect ending for Bliss and her men with a bit of a cliffhanger for a new series I suspect will be coming soon (?) that I am VERY excited to read. Thanks to Elle for writing this because I am so happy to read about women who are like me finding their happy endings 🥹.

TW: torture, verbal abuse, drug use, SA, DID
Mentions of and/or conversations relating to: poverty, fat shaming, sex work, suicide, death of a parent, and others I may have missed
Just like the cliffhanger from book one to two, the third instalment picks up right where the second book ended - and thank GOD it did because I was losing my mind with the trouble they found themselves in.
This book had the most appearances from Elle’s previous series and it was fun to see these two groups work together for a common goal. The plot wrapped up cleanly despite the Pandora’s box of a shitstorm they found themselves in.
This was a good conclusion to the series. While not as exciting and ridiculous as I thought it was going to be - even the book covers became more tame - the series in itself was a fun look at a why choose story that was filled with darkness, violence, accepting insecurities, and embracing the people who accept them & letting those people continue bringing out your best.

I wish I didn’t have so much hope in bilss and this author on solving her brothers case and that I didn’t case. If it wasn’t for that I would not have read all 3 books but damn did I want to know how this shit show ended. If you like a book with a good plot but no deliverance in the plot and just any excuse to be ducked down then this book is for you.

The epilogue?!?!? It wasn’t supposed to end like that😭😭
But overall all three books hooked me, reading al three in the spawn of 2 days. Not my usual type of books but the drama and violence really caught my interest!

Full review of the Saint View Psychos trilogy at the bottom!
Out of the three books in the series, this was my least favorite. I liked that we got some closure on Axel’s death although I didn’t like that Bliss’s father killed him. I liked that we saw Scythe and Vincent and that they stopped battling for control. I hated that Bliss is pregnant. I hated that the book ends on a cliff hanger with Rebel attacked by Caleb and other men. I’m glad that Jerry finally got what was coming to him and that Bliss was able to help some of the prostitutes. I’m officially an Elle Thorpe fan and will be coming back to read more from the Saint View universe but I definitely need a break from the darkness.
It Ends with Violence picks up where Half the Battle left off, with the police raiding Psychos. Vincent gets taken away by the warden, War escapes with the MC and Bliss, Nash and Bliss’s mom Kim are arrested. Kim takes the fall for everything since she technically inherited half the bar from Axel when he died. Bliss and Nash were released and War was waiting for them patiently. It was then that they realized nobody knew where Vincent was. They called hospitals and the prison but he wasn’t at either place. A lawyer had shown up for Bliss and introduced himself as Liam Banks. When bliss asked about Vincent Atwood, the lawyer told Bliss that Vincent was an old friend and that he would do whatever it took. When Nash, Bliss and War left the jail, they went back to War’s cabin for some much needed sleep. They had a threesome and then went to the clubhouse for food. War was harassed for not having shot Scythe but he put an end to it. The MC told him that either he killed Scythe or he was out (kind of a plot hole in my opinion since nothing ever came of this). War explained to the MC what Vincent had told him while he had a gun to his head, that War’s parents tried to brake but couldn’t and went over the overlook on their own. The MC didn’t believe him but War said he’d look into the accident for proof. They went back to psychos to check on the place which was an absolutely pigsty from the raid. When Bliss goes to the bathroom, she finds herself being threatened by Jezibel (the woman that Vincent’s mother was trying to force him to marry) and Ophelia, Vincent’s older sister. War and Nash found them and they all agreed to work together to find Vincent and bring him home. Shortly after, the lawyer called to say that they think Vincent is being held at an old police training facility that had been abandoned after a gas leak. We then get Vincent’s POV which shows that he’s being tortured by the warden and then Caleb, who shows up to get his revenge. He carves Bliss into Vincent’s chest just like Scythe had done to him. Vincent remained strong and didn’t cry but when the warden came back to tell Caleb enough, Caleb killed him. The gang descended on the facility to get Vincent back and they split up. Rebel went with War but she twisted her ankle on a tree branch. She told War to keep going and that she’d make her way back to the car. War did as he was told and he watched as the back door opened and a man ran out. He knew it wasn’t Vincent by his hair color so he kept going. Vincent was rescued by the team and War was really sad to see that Scythe was gone. In the meantime, the man that had ran out was actually Caleb. He saw Rebel limping to the car and had his sights on her for revenge on Bliss. Caleb’s POV made it seem like he was going to attack her right then but the gang found rebel safely back at the car. Bliss stayed by Vincent’s side for the next few days, nursing him back to health. She noticed that he was being kind of weird but he wouldn’t say why. Nash showed up to see Bliss and explained that he was a pimp all those years ago to put food on the table and that he was really good to the girls he had. Bliss felt sorry for having judged him so harshly and they admitted that they were in love with one another. Nash told bliss he wanted to get married and have babies but he knew that she loved Vincent and war too. They had sex in the kitchen and Nash finally left. Soon after, Bliss got phone calls from her dad pressuring her to sell psychos. He asked if she had found the necessary paperwork yet but she hadn’t. She knew she had to go clean out axels house anyways so her and Vincent went. They found an old love note with swirly handwriting that sounded threatening. There was no date or signature but bliss brought it with her. They went back to Vincent’s house and he was still being weird. Scythe was in his head telling him that he needed to fuck bliss to feel better. Vincent finally cracked and kissed bliss and told her how bad he wanted her. She was so excited and they had sex. A few days later they were all at psychos and were reminded of the fact that all of their drugs had been confiscated by the police and they had no money to pay the debt. Plus they had no idea who the money was even owed to. They all parted ways and offered a ride to Rebel but she said no and ordered an Uber. A handsome man in a BMW pulled up and started talking to her and offered her a ride but she was suspicious of him and said no. The next day bliss decided to get some yard work done since Vincent was injured. She put in her headphones and started mowing the lawn when a man grabbed her and shoved her into a van. She soon realized it was Gus, the father of War’s fated mate Siren. Gus explained to her that her debt had been paid by Jerry and that Jerry now owned her. He took her to Jerry’s trailer and he said that he’d be waiting for her on Saturday night and if she didn’t show, he’d take her little sister and her step mom. Scared, Bliss agreed. They dropped her back off at home and she didn’t say anything out of fear. Simultaneously, War stopped back at his cabin to change and shower. Siren was in there waiting for him in lingerie but he told her that the deal was off and that he was in love with bliss. Siren pleaded but war just kicked her out. Siren called Gus and he said he’d take care of it. Gus went to War’s cabin and told War that Bliss owed him a lot of money and the only way to repay him would be for War to marry Siren. War felt backed into a corner so he agreed. All the men were at Vincent’s house when a weird comment was made by War about Scythe and Vincent got upset because he didn’t have feelings for war like Scythe does. War took off to get out from under the awkwardness and bliss followed him. They ended up at the hospital to visit war’s mom. War told bliss that he was marrying siren and his mom said “no you are not”. It was a miracle because she had been in a coma since the accident. War called the MC to share the good news and they all told Siren to get to the hospital for such an important moment. War comforted his mom and told her that his dad had died. She was devastated and told War that the brakes failed and that she had seen siren working on her car that evening. War knew Scythe had been telling the truth and was so upset that Siren would do this. Down below, Siren arrived at the hospital. She parked next to War’s bike but recognized Bliss’s car. Angry at the betrayal, she took out her tools and cut the brake lines on Bliss’s car and then went back to the compound. War said that he needed bliss’s comfort so he rode on the back of his bike with him to the overlook where his dad died. They had sex up there and then War told her that he wanted her to have his baby. She said that they needed to speak to Vincent and Nash about all of it. The next day they all went to psychos to talk about their relationship and bliss told Rebel in secret about the men wanting a baby. Rebel suggested that maybe she was already pregnant so bliss took a test and it turned out she was. They both had no idea how to tell the men and bliss started panicking about her arrangement with Jerry that she hadn’t told them about. Rebel took out a piece of paper and wrote “I’m having a baby” and said to give it to them. Bliss saw rebels handwriting and panicked because she thought it looked similar to the threatening note she had found in axels stuff. To change the topic, bliss went out and told everyone that she wanted to throw a huge party at psychos. They all got excited that she wasn’t selling the bar and had a foursome in the back room. Afterwards, bliss started having terrible anxiety about Jerry and the new baby. The men noticed and booked her a spa day in providence. They all drove her to the spa and said they’d go get her car and pick her up afterwards. As she was walking in, she got a text from Jerry telling her to be at the trailer in 30 minutes or else. She decided to get a quick pedicure so she had something to show the guys. 10 minutes later, Jerry was standing outside with Bliss’s little sister in tears. Bliss stood up and told the nail lady to call the man who made the appointment for payment. She ran outside and Jerry threw her and Verity in his car. Bliss said to take Verity home and Jerry said that was his plan. They dropped her off and Jerry drove back to the trailer park. The men picked up Bliss’s car. Vincent received a call from the spa asking for payment since bliss left. Vincent was super confused. Nash got a phone call at the same from Bliss’s father telling him that Verity just came home sobbing that Bliss was taken by Jerry. The men knew they had to rescue her but watched as War, in Bliss’s car, ran right through a red light and over an embankment. They rushed out to rescue him and Scythe came forward. They got war out and the three of them headed to the trailer. They rescued bliss right before Jerry raped her and Scythe killed him. Bliss set the trailer on fire so nothing bad would ever happen there again. The men found out that Bliss was pregnant and Bliss told Nash about her fear that Rebel had killed Axel. Nash called Rebel and tried to trick her into telling him that she’d slept with Axel but Rebel kept gagging. Bliss believed her and was so relieved but was back to square one. They went back to the house and War and Scythe had sex. Bliss told Nash that she wanted to help rescue the girls that Jerry had been using. She knew that they liked sex work from talking to them so she posed a safe place for them with STD testing all at psychos. Nash was open to the idea since he also wanted to help them. Siren told Gus that she cut the brake lines on Bliss’s car that War was driving. He was so angry at her stupidity that he disowned her and left. War decided to deal with her by showing her mercy and just having everyone at the MC completely pretend that she didn’t exist. It worked and she eventually left town completely alone. The 4 of them went over to Bliss’s dads house for dinner. It was set up incredible fancy and there were even place settings with name tags. Bliss picked one up and recognized the handwriting. She ran into the kitchen and asked her step mother if she was dating Axel. She said yes and that she had fallen in love with him. Bliss’s father got so angry and admitted that he killed Axel to save his marriage and in the hopes that Bliss would sell psychos to bail out his business. Nichelle (step mom) pulled out a gun and shot him. She went to prison and Bliss’s dad had surgery to save him. He too went to prison for axels death. The huge party happened at psychos and Bliss got the courage to get into one of the cages and perform. Everyone was mesmerized by her but by the end, the men climbed in with her and closed the curtains. In the epilogue, bliss has the baby and Scythe recognizes that the baby is his because it has the same Scythe birthmark on her hand that he does and his mother does too. He’s so proud and everyone is super happy. The book ends with Rebel working at psychos when the same man in the BMW shows up and asks if she wants to fuck. Rebel says yes and gets into his car. He drives her to his house and starts pushing her around and calling her names. Rebel gets up to leave but the man pulls his shirt off and rebel sees the scars. She realizes that the man is Caleb. She tries to run but other men come in the front door and hold her down. Very disturbing. Apparently rebel will have her own series sometime this year.
Overall, I did like the series. It was exceptionally spicy and I enjoyed the harem and the aspect of War and Sythe together. There were a couple of plot holes (like did Vincent’s mom just come to terms with him and bliss? Did the MC forgive War for not killing Scythe?). It was a fun trilogy. It was super corny at times and of course it was extremely overplayed that Bliss is supposedly a big fat fatty that nobody could ever love except these 3 handsome men with huge cocks. Lol. I didn’t love Bliss. I didn’t love the pregnancy trope. I still thought it was a good read and I do plan to read the other Saint view material. Will not be reading this series again though.
Out of the three books in the series, this was my least favorite. I liked that we got some closure on Axel’s death although I didn’t like that Bliss’s father killed him. I liked that we saw Scythe and Vincent and that they stopped battling for control. I hated that Bliss is pregnant. I hated that the book ends on a cliff hanger with Rebel attacked by Caleb and other men. I’m glad that Jerry finally got what was coming to him and that Bliss was able to help some of the prostitutes. I’m officially an Elle Thorpe fan and will be coming back to read more from the Saint View universe but I definitely need a break from the darkness.
It Ends with Violence picks up where Half the Battle left off, with the police raiding Psychos. Vincent gets taken away by the warden, War escapes with the MC and Bliss, Nash and Bliss’s mom Kim are arrested. Kim takes the fall for everything since she technically inherited half the bar from Axel when he died. Bliss and Nash were released and War was waiting for them patiently. It was then that they realized nobody knew where Vincent was. They called hospitals and the prison but he wasn’t at either place. A lawyer had shown up for Bliss and introduced himself as Liam Banks. When bliss asked about Vincent Atwood, the lawyer told Bliss that Vincent was an old friend and that he would do whatever it took. When Nash, Bliss and War left the jail, they went back to War’s cabin for some much needed sleep. They had a threesome and then went to the clubhouse for food. War was harassed for not having shot Scythe but he put an end to it. The MC told him that either he killed Scythe or he was out (kind of a plot hole in my opinion since nothing ever came of this). War explained to the MC what Vincent had told him while he had a gun to his head, that War’s parents tried to brake but couldn’t and went over the overlook on their own. The MC didn’t believe him but War said he’d look into the accident for proof. They went back to psychos to check on the place which was an absolutely pigsty from the raid. When Bliss goes to the bathroom, she finds herself being threatened by Jezibel (the woman that Vincent’s mother was trying to force him to marry) and Ophelia, Vincent’s older sister. War and Nash found them and they all agreed to work together to find Vincent and bring him home. Shortly after, the lawyer called to say that they think Vincent is being held at an old police training facility that had been abandoned after a gas leak. We then get Vincent’s POV which shows that he’s being tortured by the warden and then Caleb, who shows up to get his revenge. He carves Bliss into Vincent’s chest just like Scythe had done to him. Vincent remained strong and didn’t cry but when the warden came back to tell Caleb enough, Caleb killed him. The gang descended on the facility to get Vincent back and they split up. Rebel went with War but she twisted her ankle on a tree branch. She told War to keep going and that she’d make her way back to the car. War did as he was told and he watched as the back door opened and a man ran out. He knew it wasn’t Vincent by his hair color so he kept going. Vincent was rescued by the team and War was really sad to see that Scythe was gone. In the meantime, the man that had ran out was actually Caleb. He saw Rebel limping to the car and had his sights on her for revenge on Bliss. Caleb’s POV made it seem like he was going to attack her right then but the gang found rebel safely back at the car. Bliss stayed by Vincent’s side for the next few days, nursing him back to health. She noticed that he was being kind of weird but he wouldn’t say why. Nash showed up to see Bliss and explained that he was a pimp all those years ago to put food on the table and that he was really good to the girls he had. Bliss felt sorry for having judged him so harshly and they admitted that they were in love with one another. Nash told bliss he wanted to get married and have babies but he knew that she loved Vincent and war too. They had sex in the kitchen and Nash finally left. Soon after, Bliss got phone calls from her dad pressuring her to sell psychos. He asked if she had found the necessary paperwork yet but she hadn’t. She knew she had to go clean out axels house anyways so her and Vincent went. They found an old love note with swirly handwriting that sounded threatening. There was no date or signature but bliss brought it with her. They went back to Vincent’s house and he was still being weird. Scythe was in his head telling him that he needed to fuck bliss to feel better. Vincent finally cracked and kissed bliss and told her how bad he wanted her. She was so excited and they had sex. A few days later they were all at psychos and were reminded of the fact that all of their drugs had been confiscated by the police and they had no money to pay the debt. Plus they had no idea who the money was even owed to. They all parted ways and offered a ride to Rebel but she said no and ordered an Uber. A handsome man in a BMW pulled up and started talking to her and offered her a ride but she was suspicious of him and said no. The next day bliss decided to get some yard work done since Vincent was injured. She put in her headphones and started mowing the lawn when a man grabbed her and shoved her into a van. She soon realized it was Gus, the father of War’s fated mate Siren. Gus explained to her that her debt had been paid by Jerry and that Jerry now owned her. He took her to Jerry’s trailer and he said that he’d be waiting for her on Saturday night and if she didn’t show, he’d take her little sister and her step mom. Scared, Bliss agreed. They dropped her back off at home and she didn’t say anything out of fear. Simultaneously, War stopped back at his cabin to change and shower. Siren was in there waiting for him in lingerie but he told her that the deal was off and that he was in love with bliss. Siren pleaded but war just kicked her out. Siren called Gus and he said he’d take care of it. Gus went to War’s cabin and told War that Bliss owed him a lot of money and the only way to repay him would be for War to marry Siren. War felt backed into a corner so he agreed. All the men were at Vincent’s house when a weird comment was made by War about Scythe and Vincent got upset because he didn’t have feelings for war like Scythe does. War took off to get out from under the awkwardness and bliss followed him. They ended up at the hospital to visit war’s mom. War told bliss that he was marrying siren and his mom said “no you are not”. It was a miracle because she had been in a coma since the accident. War called the MC to share the good news and they all told Siren to get to the hospital for such an important moment. War comforted his mom and told her that his dad had died. She was devastated and told War that the brakes failed and that she had seen siren working on her car that evening. War knew Scythe had been telling the truth and was so upset that Siren would do this. Down below, Siren arrived at the hospital. She parked next to War’s bike but recognized Bliss’s car. Angry at the betrayal, she took out her tools and cut the brake lines on Bliss’s car and then went back to the compound. War said that he needed bliss’s comfort so he rode on the back of his bike with him to the overlook where his dad died. They had sex up there and then War told her that he wanted her to have his baby. She said that they needed to speak to Vincent and Nash about all of it. The next day they all went to psychos to talk about their relationship and bliss told Rebel in secret about the men wanting a baby. Rebel suggested that maybe she was already pregnant so bliss took a test and it turned out she was. They both had no idea how to tell the men and bliss started panicking about her arrangement with Jerry that she hadn’t told them about. Rebel took out a piece of paper and wrote “I’m having a baby” and said to give it to them. Bliss saw rebels handwriting and panicked because she thought it looked similar to the threatening note she had found in axels stuff. To change the topic, bliss went out and told everyone that she wanted to throw a huge party at psychos. They all got excited that she wasn’t selling the bar and had a foursome in the back room. Afterwards, bliss started having terrible anxiety about Jerry and the new baby. The men noticed and booked her a spa day in providence. They all drove her to the spa and said they’d go get her car and pick her up afterwards. As she was walking in, she got a text from Jerry telling her to be at the trailer in 30 minutes or else. She decided to get a quick pedicure so she had something to show the guys. 10 minutes later, Jerry was standing outside with Bliss’s little sister in tears. Bliss stood up and told the nail lady to call the man who made the appointment for payment. She ran outside and Jerry threw her and Verity in his car. Bliss said to take Verity home and Jerry said that was his plan. They dropped her off and Jerry drove back to the trailer park. The men picked up Bliss’s car. Vincent received a call from the spa asking for payment since bliss left. Vincent was super confused. Nash got a phone call at the same from Bliss’s father telling him that Verity just came home sobbing that Bliss was taken by Jerry. The men knew they had to rescue her but watched as War, in Bliss’s car, ran right through a red light and over an embankment. They rushed out to rescue him and Scythe came forward. They got war out and the three of them headed to the trailer. They rescued bliss right before Jerry raped her and Scythe killed him. Bliss set the trailer on fire so nothing bad would ever happen there again. The men found out that Bliss was pregnant and Bliss told Nash about her fear that Rebel had killed Axel. Nash called Rebel and tried to trick her into telling him that she’d slept with Axel but Rebel kept gagging. Bliss believed her and was so relieved but was back to square one. They went back to the house and War and Scythe had sex. Bliss told Nash that she wanted to help rescue the girls that Jerry had been using. She knew that they liked sex work from talking to them so she posed a safe place for them with STD testing all at psychos. Nash was open to the idea since he also wanted to help them. Siren told Gus that she cut the brake lines on Bliss’s car that War was driving. He was so angry at her stupidity that he disowned her and left. War decided to deal with her by showing her mercy and just having everyone at the MC completely pretend that she didn’t exist. It worked and she eventually left town completely alone. The 4 of them went over to Bliss’s dads house for dinner. It was set up incredible fancy and there were even place settings with name tags. Bliss picked one up and recognized the handwriting. She ran into the kitchen and asked her step mother if she was dating Axel. She said yes and that she had fallen in love with him. Bliss’s father got so angry and admitted that he killed Axel to save his marriage and in the hopes that Bliss would sell psychos to bail out his business.

Omg how do I keep getting sucked back in?!?!?!!!!
Seriously. I told myself after this I wasn’t reading anymore. It literally is a car wreck you can’t look away from. 😭 Here’s a couple of my issues.
1. Way too many people are just ok with a person having three boyfriends. Let’s not act like we don’t know the world we’re in. Yes saint view is made up but I imagine it’s in “America” and that is just not something that is viewed as normal. Way more people would judge and not just be like “oh, look at all those strong men you have”. Like be for real the spa ladies wouldn’t have acted like it was something you see everyday. And three couples with three men each all in this tiny little town?? No. Unless this town was the reverse of that one Mormon branch with all the wives. Anywaysssss.
2. Bliss just being ok with becoming a pr0st|tute… like give me a break. Yes she wanted to back out after finding out she was pregnant but before that she’s just all ok with it because she “made her bed and needed to pay her debts?” No.
3. Omg I almost forgot about how often we had to hear about how fat Bliss is. I truly want to know her size. I can’t picture it to be honest. When we first meet her it’s only said that she has tummy rolls, hips and big boobs so I just assumed she was kinda plus size with curves but then she goes on to tell us the doctors have been telling her since high school that she can’t have a baby because she’s too fat and I could not have rolled my eyes harder. Are we really pretending to go along with this right now. Yea there are some people who need to lose weight to help conceive but most of the time they are severely overweight not just curvy with some extra fluff. And even still most doctors aren’t just gonna go “hey you’re infertile until you lose weight” to a teenager.
4. Vincent’s convenient mercy kill.. 🙄 This is getting long so I’ll leave it here but gosh darn it I wanna read about Rebel now. 😭😭😭😭 I truly wanted to be done with this ridiculousness. 😂

You have 3 and half men in your life and silll don't what they help? Girl, please.
Jerry is a roach. Why isn't he dead.
I lost a little respect for Bliss when jerry and her ex-fiance were still alive. The wrap-up of the stor lines p*** me off so much that I don't even want to read any more of this author books.That's how angry I am. It's the small things too.
I still love the characters, but that last bonus epilogue with rebel made me wanna vomit. Why didn't they kill this man. I don't even want to read her book.
There were so many evil disgusting people in this book that are treated like kittens. Bliss never wants to hurt anybody. It's so frustrating.
And one of my big negative things for all books. Is the epilogue too short, and it doesn't give you a future? It just talks about something a week or month from the original story.
