5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge is sweet!
Reviewed in Australia on 23 September 2020
The media could not be loaded.
 What a great finish to this awesome duet! Monica James has done such an amazing job with this book and I love Aleksei Popov even more than I did in book one. This man is amazing! He is fierce, a fighter and very protective of the people he loves; and he’s out for revenge

The storyline continues where the first book ends with Aleksei fighting for his life and Ella willingly returning to the Italian mafia family, the Macrillos. After killing his brother in the most spectacular way, Alek is once again the King of the Russian Underground and he is determined to clean out the doubters and double crossers in his world.

“This is my world. My rules. I’m the MF king, and it’s time to adjust my crown.”

Now he needs to rescue the woman he loves and will go to every length to set her free from her tormentors. A King after all needs a Queen to help him rule Russia!

“I do this for her, for our future and with that thought coursing through me, I confidently walk down the stairs, cane in hand, ready to give my queen the kingdom she deserves.”

From the moment you start reading this book until the very end, you will be on the edge of your seat, devouring every single word written. This book is action packed, exciting and full of twists and turns. Was I able to predict the storyline? Absolutely not! Would I recommend this series to you? Absolutely YES!!!

(I was provided with an arc in exchange for a honest review)

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Ride and Epic Conclusion!!!!!
Reviewed in Australia on 20 October 2020
Monica James you Darkness Queen!!! God did not save my soul as per your note because you absolutely stole it with this gripping, dark, twisted and hot as hell conclusion.
Can one prepare for Part 2 of Alek and Ella's story? The answer is NO!!!! What you can do is grab yourself some strong liquor, buckle yourself in, and get ready for one hell of a ride.
From the first word until the very last I was completely spellbound and invested in page turning story, that with a need to know desperation I devoured in one sitting.
This dark, raw, action packed, violent, emotional, suspenseful, and steamy as hell story stole my breath, broke and warmed my heart, and had me on the edge of seat as the twists and turns kept coming. Alek's journey from the Devil to the kingpin of Russia is truly emotional as it's riddled with guilt, personal growth, acceptance, redemption, accountability, and love.
I really don't want to give away the story with my review because this is simply a must read! Of course after Book 1. And if you haven't even before this duet read the Saint Trilogy first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold My Vodka.... Actually ... Give it back 🙈🙊
Reviewed in Australia on 24 September 2020
Damn Alek.... for a soul shrouded in darkness, you sure do burn up the pages!! This book blew my socks off..... I couldn’t put it down!

James hooked me with the first book of this duet - there’s nothing I love more than a broken sexy ass hero who flirts with the line of good and bad and leaves you guessing about what he’s going to do next. Alek is cunning, he’s intelligent, he’s sexy as sin, he’s ruthless... he’s all those things you want in an anti hero.... and then he discovers his soul, the love of a feisty woman and an adorable little lady and ....queue *swooning*.

This book starts where Part 1 ends - where all of Alek’s carefully formulated plans to gain revenge and save the people he loves are foiled when the person he was most desperate to save makes a sacrifice to save him instead. Alek now needs to work out not only how to rescue the woman who holds his heart but how to reclaim the throne that is rightfully his. With the help of some old favourites, he makes bold and ballsy moves that leave you on the edge of your seat and reaching for your wine... or vodka 🤣 Beside him, probably wishing for some vodka herself, is Ella - a Queen in her own right... she was no damsel in distress and she overcomes some of the most horrible of experiences to hold her head high beside her man.

It’s filled with suspense, angst, raw feeling, friendship, scorching love, violence, devastation, revenge and justice.... It’s a captivating, twisted tale of one broken King’s journey to finding who he is.... and the woman who must overcome so much to sit beside him in her rightful place as Queen. Cannot recommend this duet enough for lovers of dark romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unlimited stars for this beautifully written heartbreaking Dark love story
Reviewed in Australia on 21 September 2020
This is the second installment in this series. I was so excited about going on an adventure with Alek’s and Ella again. You will have to read book 1 to read this book as it starts off where book 1 ended. Again Monica James didn’t disappoint, I was kept intrigued and I didn’t want to stop reading it. The emotions and the love these two feel for each other you feel each moment they are apart and you wanted to shake them to be open about how they truly felt. I was kept on an emotional rollercoaster of crying, anger, happiness back to crying and it never ends. This author knows how to keep you wanting more. There are so many twists and turns you don’t know how it will end and how their love will conquer all the pain they have been through. It’s beautiful how two broken souls can help heal each other, Alek’s is the anti hero you love to love. I could not at any point put this book down it was like I was watching it as a movie that kept getting better and better.

The devils crown part 2 is the finale to the long awaited Alek’s story with Ella.

This book was jammed pack with twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. I love Monica’s dark romances but this one might be my favourite of hers so far. The writing in this book was impeccable and so captivating. She’s not afraid to delve into the gritty and dark aspects that make a good dark romance.

Alek and Ella’s relationship is rocky and confusing but I always loved the way Alek put her first. Her safety was always the first thing on his mind no matter what predicament he was in.

The finale to this duet did not disappoint and I can’t wait to see what Monica writes next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Epically Perfect Revenge and Redemption! 🖤🔥🖤

Holy good gracious!! I thought I pretty much knew what I was going into with this book, I thought I would be ready to let Alekski go, but I’m really not. I have some lingering feelings and my heart just isn’t quite ready..🔥🖤🔥

Alek and Ella are everything...Monica James took his character from the trilogy and redeemed the unredeemable Alekski. GAH! She really did it y’all! He is my favorite kind of character transformation. 😈 He’s violent and dark, deviant and Alpha AF. But it’s delicious and dirty and you want him oh so much anyway. In every way possible. You would forgive this man for eating crackers in bed, sleeping with your sister, well... for pretty much anything, because you can sense that to his core he’s good and he proved that he really is. I mean he’d kill for you. Burn the world down for you.

This book is dark, suspenseful, sexy and tragic and gritty. It’s a perfect combination of a revenge quest and an epic redemption journey. It's the edge of your seat kinda book and a big trip down grasp your hair in frustration. It’s got angst for days. I love the way Monica incorporated all our favorites from All the Pretty Things Trilogy in this story. Ella is the best heroine in this story. I freakin love her. She’s sweet and sassy and kick-assey! My heart broke so many times due this book only to be put back together and I was HERE FOR IT all! This entire story and the characters within are complex and gritty and absolute works of literary magnificence!

My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️- Alek and Ella’s story is everything I hoped it would be and then some. It is full of obstacles,twists and turns. My mind was constantly in a delicious tailspin. This was SO.MUCH.MORE. Awesomely crazy, and the amazing chaos that comes from a book you are hooked on from page one to the end. It gets ALL THE STARS from me!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- GAH! This was both steamy and a little bit swoony. 😍 I love the push and pull of a good romp with a mega Alpha! This book was so unbelievably hot, I was literally dying all the deaths.
🌪Cliffhanger Warning- Y’all!*insert Happy Squeak* Perfection. Yay! 🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻
🔫 Trigger Warning-This book is a Dark romance and does have fight scenes and content that could be considered triggers for some. If you have concerns you can PM for more

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible conclusion to a wonderfully dark and angsty fairytale.

Wow! What an incredible conclusion to an incredible duet.

I'd always been intrigued by Alek's story from the 'All The Pretty Things' series and was excited to hear about the duet, and I'm kinda sad that it's coming to an end.

This duet has been an explosion of angst, violence, emotions and drama, and I just LOVED this book!

We see Alek more determined, more dangerous than ever. We see him take back what is rightfully his and see a lot more vulnerability, see him build a life as well as trying to rule the world. We also get to see his love for Ella a lot more and his vulnerability to that.

As for Ella, loved her! She was k****** and I loved her fight and tenacity. She was incredibly strong and fought for what she wanted. I just adored her and seeing her in pain made me feel pain for her.

The story was explosive. It pretty much started off with quick energy, and the crescendo was incredible. Scheming, violence, drama, and the majority of that was in the name of love. I loved seeing Alek taking back what was his, and despite the fact I first hated him in the series, I am now in love with him. Such a vulnerable, troubled person with a dark, painful history.

This book is dark, and it is graphic, so read with caution.

Overall, this was an incredible conclusion to Alek's and Ella's story. It was angsty, dramatic, steamy and dark. The perfect cocktail for the perfect read. I'm incredibly sad to see Alek's story end, but I feel honoured to have read it.

Incredible! Highly recommended!!

It was a stunning ending to the Saint/Willow series, and it was great to see them all come back together and for Alek to get his HAE too with Ella.
So, thanks, Monica for the sleepness nights and I hope one day you'll write about Saint/Willow/Alek/Ella/Max/Pavel again xx

5.0 out of 5 stars An EPIC conclusion to this duet!!!

I bow to the Queen of darkness; this book is liquid fire licking across your skin in a decadent caress igniting your soul in flames. Monica has taken all notions you may have had and thrown them straight out the window delivering this EPIC and transcendent conclusion to Alek and Ella’s story. This book is guaranteed to bring you to your knees with each new twist and turn gripping you by the throat and holding you utterly captivated.

I thought I was in love with Alek in the first book, but that does not hold a candle to how I feel about him now. Watching him as he ascends his throne callously taking out anyone in his way and admiring his work as the world they once knew is burned to the ground and a new dynasty arises was enthralling. The man you once knew is no more and the one that stands in his place is heart-stoppingly dangerous and devious with a salacious appetite that I would kill to be the recipient of. But it’s the direction that he’s turned all that deviant behavior that really sets your heart on fire, the man that he’s become is so much more than you could ever have thought and I am here for every single minute of it!

Ella won a special place in my heart, her undying loyalty and drive to protect those she cares about is heroic. She doesn’t even hesitate to put her life on the line to try and help even though she has not lived in this world and she doesn’t truly know how to take care of herself that doesn’t stop her from trying. It takes a strong capable woman to bring thee Aleskei Popov to his knees and he has found that in her. She is his equal in all ways that matter, and their connection is enough to set your Kindle on fire. The pure heat that burns between them whenever they are in the same room is so visceral you can feel it pulsating from the pages, expanding, and growing until all you can feel is them. You may need a few minutes once your done reading those parts, because they are HOT!!!

Monica has crafted a dark and gritty world that you can’t help but become entranced with. I fell easily into this book, blowing through page after page needing desperately to know what was going to happen. Every moment, every triumph, every failure can be felt from these pages consuming your mind and body until your living and breathing this world. Monica has created more than just a story she has created an experience that will leave you breathless and desperate for more.

A much different ending than I was expecting but still good. The author did a great job at tying up loose ends from the previous book and also making the connections and friendships between Saint, Willow, and Pavel even stronger.

There were a few secondary characters that I would like to see more of in the future but that could also just be me not wanting this to end. The epilogue was perfect.

My only real complaint to this was the action scenes made me question plausibility as I tried to picture what was going on. Also, Zoya's connection was just weird.
