A review by phyllica_reads
Empire of Carnage by Santana Knox

5.0

This series left me absolutely gobsmacked, so I hope these words can convey how much I truly loved this rollercoaster journey. A far stretch from your traditional happily ever after.

Empire of Carnage is the epic ending to an unforgiving, emotionally raw series that gave me a book hangover. Each page had me reading faster and faster to find out what comes next until I was gut punched when that screen comes up and tells you that you finished it. To say I loved this series is a vast understatement!

"The scar didn't take away from her beauty. It enhanced it. It told the story of her strength and her refusal to die in a world that wanted nothing more than to bleed her out."

Santana Knox does not shy away from sensitive topics by any means, so if you're willing to read the uncomfortable and push beyond barriers, this author is for you!
I highly, highly recommend this series as well as Heartless Heathens.

The 3rd book is hands down the darkest one, so please read the trigger warning page and the authors note before continuing.
