Sancte Diaboli: Part One: The Elite Kings' Club, Book 6

Amo Jones must put cra*k in her books! I eat these up!! So amazingly good. The story line is epic! The characters are amazing. I’m blown away yet again by the EKC!

Days later and I STILL can't stop thinking about my Bran Bran, Saint and THAT ENDING!Sancte Diaboli is Part One of Brantley and Saint's duet and book 6 in The Elite Kings Club series by Amo Jones. Sancte Diaboli is is a full-length Dark Romance written in Dual POV, through our main characters, Brantley Vitiosis and Saint Dea Vitiosis.Sancte Diaboli picks up not far after Malum Part II ended, Bishop is wallowing in self-pity, Tillie misses her best friend and Madison is still hiding over the other side of the world. And Brantley is biding his time...Of the 6 books so far in The Elite Kings Series, Sancte Diaboli is my favourite of the series. I've been intrigued by Brantley since we met him in The Silver Swan and as the series continued my obsession with finding out what was going on behind his soulless eyes has grown. I feel like I've been waiting years for Brantley's story and to understand him.Brantley Vitiosis is The Elite Kings weapon, he's the Dark King, the one who has and shows no emotion. He's collected because nothing affects him and able to ask the difficult questions or challenge those in charge because no one and nothing can scare Bran Bran.Except Saint. Saint Dea Vitosis, is the light to Brantley's dark. She's his opposite in every way and the only person who manages to bring any level of emotion out of him. Brantley has kept Saint hidden away from almost everyone in his life, he won't let himself have her, but no one else can have her either.The dynamic between these two characters was so interesting to read because they were opposites, but seemed to fit into each other's lives so effortlessly. The sexual chemistry between them is palpable and the scenes between them are absolute FIRE! Saint brings out a side of Brantley that no one else in The Elite Kings has managed to do or even see.One of my favourite parts of this book in particular was the relationship between Saint and Bishop. Saint is the calm and collected piece that the boys and girls of The Elite Kings have been missing, and need, to balance out their circle. She has this magnetic personality that pulls in those around her and this level of empathy that helps her relate to all of them.Amo Jones absolutely slays me with her words. She must plan out every word, sentence, paragraph and chapter to have everything flow together so perfectly. It doesn't matter how dark or light she writes, every word is poetry and Sancte Diaboli was no different.This book had my heart and mind so twisted with secrets and revelations. At every turn I was rereading pages trying to work out what was happening next. Amo Jones is the Queen of secrets and cliff hangers, one of my favourite things about her writing is that she always keeps me guessing and I'm never able to work out what happens next. I've read the last chapter of this book three times and I still have no idea how what happened, happened!I am not so patiently waiting for Part two and all the answers!

I didn’t love this one as much as the others and it took me a while to finish. Hoping for more in book two!

I say this with the deepest love and gratitude in my heart...who the eff do you think you are, ma'am?! Amo, you have always done an amazing job at keeping me guessing in your books and breaking my heart into tiny little shards, but wow...wooooowwwwww!!! The Dark King is here y'all, and he is better than I could have ever imagined. Brantley intrigued me so much in the Madship books. What was his deal? Why is he so broody? What is he hiding? And then came Malum Pt 1&2, and eff me! The minute I saw how he interacted with Tillie I knew I'd love him the most of all of them. Even more than Nate le gasp! I know, I know. I'm a full blown Nate and Tillie lover, but they have been dropped to second place, and I'm not sorry.Brantley and Saint are the most perfect fit together. Something about them is so natural and flows effortlessly. Saint is the light to his dark, but ya girl is kinda dark, and I think I loved that the most of all. She has something kinda interesting going on with her, and there are secrets everywhere. I mean hello, we are talking about The Kings after all, those men thrive on secrets. I loved getting background of both Brantley and Saint, but specifically I'm happy I was given answers to some of Brantley's traumatic past. So we all know Bran Bran is dark AF, but I don't know if we knew the extent to the freak on a leash living inside him when it came to sex. HOT DAMN y'all!! It was....all the wow. Kinky, steamy, adventurous, with the tiiiiniest sliver of sweet.The next best part of Sancte Diaboli?! The Queens on their hot girl ish and killing it per usual. Tillie is obviously my most favorite as I explained above, and I loved how she interacted with Saint. Those two were instantly in it with each other, I was here for it! Since I know this isn't a spoiler to anyone because it's all over the place, Madship fans will be happy to get a check in with your favorite couple! While I am not a Madship fan (I know I'm in the minority, please don't come for my head!) I appreciated the update on them and to check in with how Bishop was doing, (because I do love him.) Bishop and Saint!!! OMG, the sweetness, the connection, ugh. Every relationship Saint touches in this book is freaking perfect! And I don't care if I'm being a broken record with the word perfect, I can't help it that Amo writes perfect books!!! I'm going to need the second book IMMEDIATELY!! That cliff hanger!! I'm positive that's what my first line of this review as for. Yea, that was it.

I fell in love with Amo Jones books the first time I read The silver swan and honestly it's been a wild ride since there. I’ve anticipated this book so much! I was so curious about Sanit and our Dark king, the way their relationship worked and how Bran Bran loved, ugh so many things I craved and wished from this book and Amo being the queen that she is, delivered everything and then some more!First Sant, oh my god, she was PERFECT so much better than I imagined her. She was so innocent but so strong at the same time, the way she handle Bran Bran was amazing, she was never scare of him like everyone else is, she felt so much for him it was so beautiful. Her soul is absolutely beautiful, she is everything that was missing in this group, she fit in right away and not just because of her relationship with Bran Bran but also because of her relationship with Tillie and Bishop. Honestly one of my favorite parts of this books is her relationship with Bishop, they are so precious, they click on the spot and she became the person Bishop was missing all along, and she is a Madship enthusiastic which makes her awesome in my book! I loved Saint so much and I can wait to see more of her.Now Bran Bran, boy oh boy, I love him. He is so good, in everything! Honestly I love hoe possessive he was of her, he always wanted to protect her even from himself. He had such a hard childhood, he’s whole world was on fire but he gladly burn so Saint wouldn’t. Honestly the way this men loves its so precious and so unique and I can’t get enough from it.Reading this book felt like coming home after a long time, it was everything I needed and more. Im so excited for part 2 because although I loved it so much I have absolutely no idea what happen at the end, and have way more questions than when I started the book, but oh well that’s the beauty of Amo Jones!100% recommend this book and this whole series and everything by Amo!

Hold on... I need a minute to compose my thoughts.Okay- Amo, you freaking queen.While this book centres around Saint and Brantley, it is truly an EKC book with previous questions answered and more questions raised. In true Amo Jones style, I felt confused and bewildered through the first 50% of the book. Like where on earth is this going... and then as the puzzle pieces began to click into place and dread forms. I had been warned of the cliffhanger in the book- and I’ve said before, I appreciate a good cliffhanger but the tension leading up to the last 20% of the book was kin to the slow elevation of a rollercoaster ride.This book had a beautiful atmosphere, dark and foggy. Saint is a curious character and I truly feel that we’ve only scratched the surface of her heart. Brantley, oh Bran Bran, my dark god. He is ruthless but not emotionless.Fans of Madship will not be disappointed, I really felt that I got to know Bishop more in this book. 3 full books dedicated to him and Madison’s dumpster fire of a relationship but this book, you see the human behind the King. And Madison? She’s never been my queen but I’m coming around.What a ride!!! Do yourself a favourite and join the crazies and read the darn book!!!

The Elite Kings were love at first sight, the series by Amo Jones are among my best highlights, their books destroy, shock, sting with darkness and gloomy personalities, plots, but always give a small part of hope that it is too a tiny glimmer of love could prevail in the dangerous world. But don't be fooled, this won't be the case here, you'll get a brilliant reading experience that won't let you go and you get so entangled that you doubt your own thoughts. I also warn straight away that this is a work for the strong-hearted reader and with the nasty and shocking cliffhanger, you might want to keep the next installment in readiness. Unfortunately, this breathtaking series was not published further by Lyx Verlag, so I felt compelled to continue reading it in English.» She's the one Person that I never want to destroy.«This is the continuation of the series, it's about Brantley and Saint, their toxic relationship where Saint grows up in a house with no relationships, no outside life and yet has never felt more comfortable. Where she trusts Brantley completely, this dark, sinister and mysterious but also caring, tender King at her side.» The kiss of death is what that is. «The work offers us again the members of the Elite Kings, but also Tellie and Madision, who become faithful companions. Unusual connections create deepest family unions, but also present painful memories that shock one all the more of the innocent Saint. » Bishop Hayes, Devil Eli Rebelis, Rebel Nate Malum, Evil Brantley Vitiosis, Cruel or Vicious « However, the Elite Kings would not be a tight-knit community if they always stood together loyally and destroyed anyone who stood in their way. Those godlike male creatures that you can't resist, no matter how wrong it is supposed to be. Nate, Bishop, Brantley, Eli, Cash, Chase, Hunter, Ace, Jase who attract and are loyal to each other with their dominance, engaging character and perfectly trained body. Outstanding is Brantley, who in his darkest soul reveals that Saint is more than that, that she needs his complete protection and would sacrifice anything for her. » Just that you think you'd have a life without me in it. « Those who couldn't put down the previous parts will again enjoy the addictive factor and devour it in one go. The 6th part ended in a shocking and devastating cliffhanger that leads to ingenious and nerve-wracking developments that you didn't see coming. The book continues to shake at its shocking, surprising turning points, opening up emotional chaos, grim needs and a never-ending, ongoing slew of brutality, destruction and emotion.» Better get you inside before the Beast realizes Beauty is gone. « Especially the intense characters make the heart soar, destroying the slightest hope at the same time, but always attract each other, creating an unbridled and brutal attraction. This is described very passionately by the author, so that living it out is not always for the light-hearted. As in the previous part, this is not for the faint-hearted and shows the desire that hardly meets the passion and sometimes leaves behind in the form of physical traces. Nevertheless, it fits in with the intoxicating encounters of both protagonists and their lust, which, however, also lets you feel the intensity that is full of emotions. The grandiose style of writing is again flowing, gripping and intoxicating, relaxed, light, but also emotional and extremely pictorial, engaging, brutal and passionate in the smallest detail. She always manages to keep the arc of suspense at the highest level and yet incorporate surprising turning points. Switching to Saint's perspective, memories and insights into the Bentley mindset. "How's that anger feel, my little goddess..." I devoured the book again in one go, got completely lost in the entire band and am completely immersed in the mysteries and suffering, the highly explosive development of the plot and the story. The dynamics of the events and the characters colliding is amazing, they repel each other and yet harmonize so perfectly with each other, reveal a fateful as well as deep connection and shock in unexpected ways. This is underpinned with cheeky sayings and actions, amusing as well as brutal moments. An impressive and very intense reading experience is offered, doesn't let go and pulls you into an intoxicating and addictive flow of reading, so that you have no chance to put it down. I can only mention it again and recommend it to anyone who wants a unique and not directly transparent, dark story. The further developments in particular are inscrutable and amazing in their emotional expansion. Strikingly, the suffering that young people have to go through hits you and involves nerve-wracking development.» I don't care if I will fall in love with a devil, as long as that devil will love me the way he loves Hell? He set fire to the world, but never let a flame touch her? « As icing on the cake, it was Madison and Bishop's involvement, their shocking news that made this work even more intense. Saint's role in this and the quickly budding friendship, as well as Tillie being right in the middle. Here the women present more openness and unity, so that the men do not stand out independently with their "club". So be on your guard and stay completely longing for the next part, because this volume also ends with a cliffhanger, so that you don't want to say goodbye to the Elite Kings, stay completely satisfied and intoxicated by the perfect reading pleasure.

Just finished; Sancte Diaboli by @ ✨Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️So I’ve had a little break from the Elite Kings Club series as I wanted to wait until closer to book 7 to read book 6.. I had forgotten what an absolute mindf*** Amo’s books are 🙃I mean this was just as epic as the other five in the series. It was full of secrets, mystery, suspense, drama and my mind has just been completely blown.I always loved Brantley in the other books but he was quite an enigma so I loved getting to know him more in this and him and Saint were just perfection 👌🏼Saint was also a super interesting character who you learn little bits about in the previous books so it was so nice to have her as the main character and learn about her and her life at Brantley’s house!ALSO I f***ing loved getting to have updates from Madison, Bishop, Nate & Tillie! (Already so excited for Broken Castles for the conclusion of Madship!). Madison & Bishop are still hands down my favourite couple but I love the others so much too.Now just to count down the next couple of weeks until SD: part two!

Amo did it again. I’m addicted to his stories more particulary to EKC. It would be a crime to miss out on the entire series. Go for it!
