Blurb: The Devil comes with baggage, and not the kind you can lose. I was two years old when he saved me. I didn’t understand much at that age, but I remember the pale boy with hair as dark as ink, saving me from two evils. He said he would protect me; I just didn’t know he meant from himself. I was raised in the arms of evil, tailored for the Devil like a custom Armani suit, and every day he wore it like a weapon. Brantley thought by keeping me locked in his manor that it would protect me, and it did. Until it didn’t. As I slowly adapt to The Elite Kings Club and the dark, sinister world that exists around the outlaws in suits, I come to learn that the monster everyone fears is the very same one I crave. Like a prized trophy, I sit on his throne… Something quite pretty, an object he owns… She’s a porcelain doll, so shiny, so clean… Something I want to polish, but to never be seen… The time has come, I am in his world… Now his Dea, can be admired by all… The thing with porcelain is it’s fragile and delicate… It would only take a second for me to eradicate it…

About the Author: Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand. New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

My Review of Sancte Diaboli

Sancte Diaboli: Part One by Amo Jones

My rating: 5 of 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Devil and his Angel!

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: ❤️💙💜💛💚
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📙📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏
Character development: 👤👤👤👤👤

The setting: The Elite Kings Club World (Hamptons, New York, Perdita Island)

The Hero(s): Brantley Vitiosis – was used and abused by his father when he was young. When Saint came to his home at two years old, he immediately took on the role of her protector and she became his responsibility. He owns her.

The heroine: Saint Dea Vitiosis – Saint is the daughter (silver swan) of Bishop’s father, Hector Hayes and Katsia Struprum, Tillie’s mother. Since she is considered a swan, she should have been killed as a baby, but Hector gave her to Lucien Vitiosis and Brantley to hide away.

The Love Story: The relationship between Brantley and Saint is an odd one, he protects her and it seems at the beginning anyway, that he has more brotherly feelings toward her than anything. Though he says he has always felt compelled to protect her, so there seems to be something more.

There are passages interspersed and told in italics in which the protagonist is a girl though it is hard to tell if it is supposed to be Saint or not. Though whomever it is certainly doesn’t seem as innocent as Saint, and she isn’t doing things we want for Saint. So it is a bit confusing.

While reading I often get caught up in the minutia, especially the differences in how the characters act and how I would act in similar situations. That seemed to happen quite a bit in this book. Like thinking why doesn’t this character just ask what is going on instead of wondering? Or why doesn’t this character just tell the other person what they know instead of it being so one sided?

Saint was new to the EKC and she new nothing of what goes on or how she fit in and nobody seemed willing to let her know. I found that odd but it did help with the mystery and suspense going on in the book. The book flipped around a lot, from the past to the present, to the thoughts of this girl who got herself into something over her head.

Like I said, it was a bit scattered, but it was also so very good. I wanted Brantley and Saint to get together, and though they kept saying how he was the devil, I have always liked him and with the way he protected her when he was younger, he was even more likable in this book. Though Brantley definitely has his demons and got them legitimately through a severely messed up childhood. For those of you with triggers, many of the things Brantley went trough are detailed via flashbacks, so be warned. If you read the previous books you know what some of those were.

Overall, the book is the best of the series so far. The relationship between Brantley and Saint goes through many stages in the time they have known each other, but it seems they were always destined to be together. The ending is totally chaotic and a huge cliffhanger, I am not even really sure what was going on, but I can’t wait for more!
