Ok y'all. I grabbed this as a boxset because I am a procrastinatior and waited until book three was out and now I spent the entire day reading these three and I might not be okay. I am quite not okay.
This series SLAYED me. I broke and it was beautiful and dark and twisted and I loved every single page of it.
I am a huge fan of dark reads. I love how they march you off guard and they challenge your thoughts on other characters. The darkness in these books? My goodness it is a whole new level. I honestly had no idea what was coming next in this book. I didn't know who I liked and who I didn't and by the end of each book I was just yelling at my kindle and sending the author a million messages.
I loved that each book challenged what you were thinking about the previous book and you truly had no idea what was coming next. The end of the third book left me angry and sad and kind of broken and also kind of happy and so twisted.
It was amazing. I cannot wait for book 4. I plan to beg for it.
Synopsis for Series 1-3:
Book One:
Riddle me this...
“I am neither dead, nor alive, and I’m not something little Madison can hide.
But you will be dead, by the time this is done...
the timer starts now, and the games have just begun…”
Madison Montgomery comes from money and power, but when someone close to her commits the ultimate crime, Madison must live with her tainted name for the rest of her life. When she begins Riverside Preparatory Academy, the private school her father has swept her into in The Hamptons, she hopes for a fresh start. What she wasn't hoping for was the pack of bad boys who run the school; ten, to be exact. When Madison gains the attention of their leader, Bishop Vincent Hayes, a whole new world that she didn't think existed is exposed to her. A whole world that starts and ends with The Elite Kings Club and these boys, are about to flip her world upside down. Secrets are overflowing and family lies are about to be exposed. Is there more to Madison Montgomery than even she knows?
About this book:
I need to admit something right now. The Silver Swan is
f*cked. It might be the most
insane story I've ever written with equally
insane characters. Who knew? You know, when I started this book, it was supposed to be YA. I wanted to write a book that my sisters could read. A book that won't have people look at my mum like
"damn... what sort of messed up shit happened to your kid?". The angst, the assholeness, the games, the f**kery, the
WHAT THE F**KING F**K ARE YOU DOING???!!!...
I cannot even.... anyway, this is a
warning (and the only one I'll give you). It's crazy. I don't compare my work to my others, but this book is f**ked. It will most likely stomp all the f**k over people's hard limits (and not give a sh*t while it's doing it) and will make you second guess all the morals you thought you had.
This most definitely is not looking like a love story right now... more like a..... I don't even....*shakes head* anyway, I apologise now. You asked for it........
Book Two:
“I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong.”
The Silver Swan
- 1.
A girl who is tarnished. Tainted. One who does not fit into the confinement of legend.
The Silver Swan
-2.
Madison Montgomery.
I was lied to.
I was cheated.
Resigned to pick up the scraps of empty memories and disarrayed thoughts, I left. After finally cutting the strings of manipulation, I resorted to do what I’ve done since I was a child, something my father drilled into my brain since I could handle my first rifle.
Run.
I’m a mere shadow of the girl they all knew.
Lies and deceit change you. They alter your entire outlook on life.
I’m Madison Montgomery, and I want to play a game.
Here’s what happens when I
win.
Riddle me this, Mads.
What goes bump in the night,
but is something you can’t see with sight?
You may run, and you may hide.
If by happily ever after, you mean Bonnie & Clyde.
Book Three:
Hail to the king, and watch him reign, this game was somewhat fun, until the finale came…
Now we’re here, with carnage and despair, and the only questions left to answer, are the ones that do not appear...
A king loses a war, and a swan sheds her wings, chaos collides with peace, as the crows begin to sing…
Enter if you dare, because I swear the end is near, but nothing is as it seems, and everything is so bare.
So what the f*ck is going on at Riverside,
I think, I think... everyone is about to die....
