The Broken Puppet (The Elite Kings Club Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Amo Jones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 5,252 ratings
“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.

5 out of 5 stars
Madison and Bishop!!!
Oh Madison. I love you and you frustrate me all at the sametime! "As alluring as a floating swan, but as deadly as a silver bullet.” I like to think The Broken Puppet is used for world building. Why do I know this? Because I've read this series a few times. In The Broken Puppet we get more background on what's going on with Brantley and Madison. We start to add in more characters from the previous generation and we learn more about the book. THAT DAMN BOOK! Maybe she didn't want to read it because it was going to open pandora's box? Not sure. I would've locked myself in a room until I finished it. But also, imagine if Amo Jones shoved three books into 300 pages.... it would've felt rushed. “Because being broken is how you’re going to survive this life,” Madison and Bishop are the main characters, but we also have Tillie, Tatum, Nate, and Brantley in the forefront. The mystery around their characters started building up here as well, just adding more questions. Will you get all your questions answered if you keep reading? Yes you will! “Human emotions are a fickle thing. They can blind even the smartest of people and make them think that someone won’t do bad, but people will always do bad. There’s no stopping that.” Like where the eff did Tillie go? And why did she randomly pop up? Who hurt Madison? Will Tatum and Nate become a thing? Who are her parents?! What will happen to the silver swan? Will she ever finish the damn book?! It's funny to look back at Madison's first day of school in a new place all the way until now. So much has happened!

    "Fear is your patch, babe. We all have our patches. Those little spaces that could bring us to our knees if dabbled with." 

    I'm just going to get this out of the way. It took me days to stew over this book and decide what I was going to say and how I would rate it. I'm so glad that I took the time to do that because honestly it became a slow burn that finally brought me to the point I am at now. I'll explain more about it shortly.

    Let's just take a moment to take in the beauty that is this cover. I've been obsessed with it since Amo dropped the cover reveal. It's dark and a bit haunting and it speaks to my soul. Not sure what that means about me but I'll go with it.

    Before we go any further, if you have not read The Silver Swan, then you need to do that first. This book can not be read first. While I will do the best I can to keep this spoiler free, I'm just throwing it out there that there could a chance of letting something slip.

    In The Broken Puppet, we start to get some of the answers that we have been seeking in regards to The Elite Club but with those answers comes on a slew of new questions. I ended this book with more questions than answered because of all the twists and the integrated parts that everyone played.

    I will admit that there were some times that I was completely frustrated. I felt like Madison could have gotten some answers a lot faster if she would have just done what a few people kept telling her. However, I also get that by her not doing that, it allowed for more of the suspense that was lurking around.

    I get so confused sometimes because for the most part, I don't even see Bishop and Madison for as young as they are until we get a glimpse of them at school or we start to see a bit of the childish behavior. Most of the time, I felt like Bishop was much older and just has this striking and captivating essence about him. He's completely dark but we can start to see that Madison is getting to him. I feel like they are so much older until I get those few glimpses that remind me otherwise.

    While I felt like there wasn't as must intensity in this book, it certainly still consumed me. I think the reason I say that is because there is so much time spent answering questions from the first book that it felt a bit more informational than dramatic. DO NOT GET ME WRONG, it was absolutely filled with drama and suspense, it just had a bit different of a tone then the first book. That's why I ended up with the slow burn and having to take a couple of days to digest it all.

    Overall, I loved this book and I love this series. Now we are left waiting to get all the answers to everything that Amo Jones threw at us in the book. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. You don't want to miss out on this series, trust me.

    Ok deep breaths. Deep breaths. This book was absolutely phenomenal. I loved it!! The Broken Puppet was absolutely amazing. It continued on the same path as The Silver Swan and was deliciously dark and sexy and filled with mystery and intrigue. Some of our questions are answered but in typical Amo Jones fashion, she answered some and then gave us about a hundred more that left us gasping and needing more.

    This book starts up immediately after The Silver Swan so please note that this book is NOT a standalone. Once the book begins we are immediately brought back into Madison Montgomery's life and see the repercussions and aftermath of the revelations at the end of book one. What follows is a novel filled with SO many questions it'll make your head spin! What exactly is The Silver Swan? How does Madison fit in and what does Bishop Hayes and his Elite Kings want with her!?

    It's so difficult writing a review without giving away anything but like its predecessor, this novel is best enjoyed going in with zero spoilers and expectations. The only thing you need to know is that it is filled to the brim with a strong heroine, HOT AF alpha males, a mystery that will rock your world and an epic storyline that took ALL the names. Bravo! 4.5 stars! ~Ratula

    I don't know where to begin... where it ends and where I begin... it all blurs together so majestically. So many questions left unanswered. So many new questions and theories left rolling around in my head. Nothing makes sense, I'm a jumbled up ball of confusion! THIS IS THE BEST FEELING EVER!!!!!! OMG!!!! Amo Jones has me, as a reader, right where she wants me; wrapped so tightly around her finger, I cannot function, I cannot breathe. I just CANNOT!

    Riddle me this. Riddle me that. Twisted truths, secretive realities, lies, deceit, and remember boys and girls; nothing is ever as it seems! Everything that is anything boils down to the Elite Kings! The darkness will consume you, their sexiness will manipulate and ultimately destroy you! EEEP! It's all so overwhelming and fascinating and addicting. Holy. Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!! *bows down*

    A Kitten for their Pup.
    The Puppet to their Master.
    A game only the Broken survive.
    Trust no one. Trust no one.

    'I've swum in the blood of innocents and drank from their soul without flinching.'

    All is fair in love and war except when the Elite Kings come to play. Lineage rules with a golden fist. The Silver Swan isn't to be. Tick-Tock, it's time to play an intimidating, complex, and calculated game!!!

    This series has seriously taken over my life. I am obsessed! If I'm being honest, obsession is an understatement... seriously!! If I could eat, sleep, and breathe these books I would. One sitting, binge reads are what this series is made of, and to be honest its not often that I find the second book in a series on par, OR better than the first. Amo Jones knocked The Broken Puppet out of the park!!

    After "The Silver Swan", this was everything I needed, and more, and leaves me still wanting more.
    The secrets, the twists, the spice, the complicated relationships... ugh I was IN IT with this book.

    I felt so much more connected to Madison, and really started to feel invested in the MMCs... and the plot, tho a bit chaotic with all the moving parts, had me so hooked I couldn't put this one down. I HAD to keep reading to find out more.. and now once again, I can not wait to throw myself into the next one!

    Reviewed in India on January 18, 2021

    I'm still figuring out how to write this review. Since there is so much mystery in Amo's books, I can't let a single plot detail slip. So, without giving out spoilers, I just wanted to say that this book blew my mind and the cliffhanger has only left me wanting for more. The suspence was thrilling and the story is so cleverly plotted. Now that we get some answers in this book, it leads to so many new questions.
    I loved Madison's character, now that I read more about her, I really liked her strength. She is really brave and the way she handled all the truths of her life that were thrown her way was remarkable. Bishop was an enigma, I am really intrigued by his character.
    I really loved Nate & Brantley (they are apparently having their own books) but I was really annoyed with Tate, I have a feeling that I'm not going to like her much in the next books. All the other side characters were significant in some way or the other, but I loved Nate the most!
    Obviously based on the cliffhanger, we will get to know more about his past, and I'm so eager to read the next book.
    That's all I can say about this ;-p

    You ever read a book and wished that you really knew the author? That you could ya know just PM any time you liked? Especially after reading their book? Well... i have! This one!!! It's not what you're thinking though, well, maybe in part but you don't know how close i came to PM'ing her anyway just to cuss her out!!! I mean OMG what the hey?!?!?! The end.... AGAIN!!!! OMG!!! bahahahaha

    But seriously though.... Every curse word you can think of was spewed outta my mouth!!

    Book 2 in the Elite Kings Club series....

    This one starts up where Silver Swan left off. Who is she? Who can she trust? Who's going to try and kill her? Where can she go? Can she survive? Questions questions questions... more questions... theeeen moooree!!! A few answers... but more add on questions...

    I know you must be thinking what's she rambling on about? Well... I don't wanna give any spoilers because you have just got to read this book!!!! Plus... I'm not sure of anything anymore.... This book is giving me serious trust issues! I was reading it thinking... I have no clues as to what is going on but i LOVE it!!!!

    Some questions from Silver Swan were answered but OMG the twists and turns, the ups and downs, the lies and deception, the stomach clinchers, the sick feeling, the sweaty hot awesome lovin, the sweet and tender, the hard and rough, the worries and tension, the gore and murders, i mean these guys throw around death threats like it's going out of fashion, and they mean it!!! And the bleedin questions!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I'm so excited by this series. It's unique and wonderfully written. It takes you right along with the storyline. I mean you are there right along with Madison i feel like my head is going to explode!!

    Madison is a fantastic character that you can't help but cheer on. I want her to find the answers! I feel her frustration. She keep's getting knocked down time and time again but she gets right the hell back up again! She's so resilient! This book shows a more tougher, angrier side to her. I think her innocence was well and truly lost for good in Silver Swan but some of her actions prove how far she's come in this book and if she doesn't become the head of the Elite Kings by the end there's something seriously wrong in the book world!!!

    Bishop. Her love/enemy is the most confusing character you're ever likely to meet. His issues are way deep in his dark soul but do i love him... nope hate him... nope love him... noooo.... hate him.... ummm he's hot... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't know!! Don't care! He's awesome!! lol

    I still have a little soft spot for Nate and i loved how in his own twisted way he had Madison's back in an over-familiar brotherly way.

    We also find out more about Brantley... it's pitch black in that area so be aware!! I'm feeling all kinds of churned up about him.

    Madison's past really shouldn't have surprised me, but, it really did. It made me feel sick if I'm honest but i thought it was a fantastic twist in the plot.

    I will give a little tip that i wished i had done. Please read Silver Swan again before you read this. I think it needs to be fresh in your head so you can handle the twists and turns.

    This is not a fluffy easy read. This is a book that needs your full concentration and undivided attention so pay it!! lol

    I can't gush a big enough pool to rave about this book. Brilliant!! Awesome!! Fantastic read!!!
