Violent Ends by Jessica Hawkins
5.0
WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.
This series is SO *&%$@#! GOOD that I'm legit at a loss for words.
WOW.
Violent Ends, the second of three books in the White Monarch series by Jessica Hawkins, is that nail-biting, page-turning, gripping-your-hair-out-of-frustrated-anticipation kind of good. Yeah, like I said... WOW.
Violent Ends picks right back up where Violent Delights left off (with my jaw hitting the floor). Natalia Cruz, the sheltered and naive daughter of one of the most powerful drug lords in all of Mexico, has just been betrayed by the man that she loves. To protect her family and everyone she loves, Natalia sacrificed her future happiness and agreed to a wedding that felt more like a funeral. By accepting her role as the wife of a powerful cartel kingpin, she's now legally and spiritually bound to the one thing she so desperately wanted to escape.
However, Natalia soon learns that Cristiano is not at all the man she'd been expecting, and she struggles to sort thru her warring emotions. As lines continue to blur, Natalia doesn't know if she should fear him, hate him, or feel something else for him entirely. The only thing she knows for certain is that she won't stop searching for her answers until she finds them.
There is so, so, so, so, so much to love about this book. The simmering heat. The tension-filled power struggle. The witty banter. ALL. THE. FEELS.
"I lost my breath at the sight of his ass. I could've flicked a quarter at it and ducked as it ricocheted right back at me. Smooth with bronze, concave cheeks, it had more definition than his top-of-the-line TVS."
But man, oh man... that cliffhanger is brutal. I don't know how I'll survive the next few months without knowing what will happen next. For now, I can only hope and pray, and keep my fingers and toes crossed, that the title of book three - Violent Triumphs - is a sign that this story has a happy ending.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
