Another fabulous book by Jessica Hawkins. It's so good couldn't put it down. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This picks up where book one ended, giving us Natalia and Cristiano's POV. I found myself still second guessing what I felt while reading the first book. It shows there are always two sides to every story and things are not always as they seem. I would love to get Diego's POV during some of what is happening throughout this book. I will say, the ending blew me away and I cannot wait to see how things play out.

The cartels kept me hooked. Loved the continuation of Natalia and Cristiano’s love story. Can’t wait to see how this story continues in the next book!

This is very much a slow burn trilogy. That cliffhanger though.

This girl is so so stupid and ignorant, it actually angers me.

This trilogy might be the death of me! I have been loving every single second of this gripping, heart stopping saga! I can’t wait to get my hands on book three. Seriously, how am I supposed to wait until November to find out what happens?!

Reading this story, is like watching it play out on screen. The writing is so brilliant and the descriptions are so realistic it feels as if you are right there along the characters as they make their way through the crazy and intense world they live in.

I started to fall in love with Cristiano in the first book but after finishing this one, I am head over heels completely and totally in love with him. He is everything I wanted in a hero in this story. I can’t wait to get more of him and his outstanding personality in the final book.

There is no way I can spoil anything for you! You need to go into this story as blind as you can and be prepared for a wild ride! This mafia, cartel, romance is done to perfection and I’m sure the third and final book in the White Monarch trilogy is going to be just as thrilling of a ride as the first two books.

Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

“The beast scares you in the light, but not only do you crave it after dark . . . you become it. I’m not surprised—I knew it all along.”

THIS SERIES! The OBSESSION is REAL!!! I finished Violent Ends last night, and I’m completely mind blown and dying for more. Emphasis on dying...because THAT CLIFFHANGER.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the fire that’s brewing between Christiano and Natalia is absolutely TORTUROUS. She may be putting up a fight when it comes to her heart, but for me? DONE. GONER. Christiano de la Rosa with his dirty mouth and unwavering protectiveness has stolen it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve not started this series, then DO IT. It’s an intensely addictive must read!!!

“I never needed you.” The cutting words snipped at my already short wick. “Then why am I here?” I retorted. “Because I wanted you.”

Omgggggg. This series is sooo good! I love that in this book we got more of Cristiano. I do feel like Natalia had more POV’s but overall I enjoyed it. I wish Natalia would stop being so naive & be a boss bitch! I hope I get to see that in the last book. & I’m still rooting for Cristiano…I still don’t trust Diego & that ending omgggg what the hell!! On to the next book!!
