BOOK REVIEW: Violent Triumphs by Jessica Hawkins

Violent Triumphs by Jessica Hawkins

(Book 3 of the White Monarch Series)

MY REVIEW

Violent Triumphs is an action-packed, evocative, gripping, heart-wrenching, tragic, beautifully written, and highly original piece of work. 

You should all be well-aware of my love for Jessica Hawkins and the White Monarch series by now. I am utterly obsessed and there's never been another book I've been more impatient to read than I was this one. (For the record--it was worth the wait.) 

"Sometimes, if you want to learn to be ruthless, you have to start by ripping out your own heart."

The White Monarch is an three-part series about the daughter of one of the most powerful cartel kingpins in all of Mexico.

You can read my review for the first two books in this series here and here.

"I wouldn't be allowed in Heaven, but I swear on all that's holy -- I'd rattle the gates until they let me have you."

The thing I love most about this series is that it's unique. The story hasn't already been done a million times--which makes it interesting, and powerful, and suspenseful, and thrilling. 

Violent Triumphs is about --

Love and war.

Betrayal and sacrifice.  

Triumph and defeat. 

Death and rebirth.

It's a story about a metamorphosis. 

It's impossible for me to share more about this story without spoiling it for you. So, you'll just have to trust me when I say this entire series is truly superb and you need to read it... NOW.

RELEASE BLITZ - Violent Triumphs by Jessica Hawkins

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!

VIOLENT TRIUMPHS

WHITE MONARCH SERIES - Book #3

BY JESSICA HAWKINS

Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 12, 2019

The highly anticipated conclusion to the “emotional, steamy, and dangerous” USA Today bestselling White Monarch series.

I’ve become a queen to the forsaken, a leader to thieves, and the wife of a man who instills fear in all who cross his path. He was the husband I didn’t want. Now, I can’t fathom life without my king.

I should’ve been ready for anything. Like the caterpillar that feeds on poison during metamorphosis, I was raised in the dangerous world of cartel crime. But nothing could’ve prepared me for Cristiano de la Rosa, his brother’s poison, or the Calavera cartel.

This is still a story about a love strong enough to topple households, unite enemies, and divide brothers. Resilient enough to bring down those who would try to destroy it . . . and selfless enough to make the ultimate sacrifice.

But I was warned, and so were you. Death’s day always comes. This time, it will find what was once a caterpillar is now a butterfly—and hell hath no fury like the White Monarch. 

Violent Triumphs is not a standalone and must be read after Violent Ends and Violent Delights.

BOOK TEASER -- Violent Triumphs by Jessica Hawkins

I have been (not so) patiently waiting for Jessica Hawkins to release the third and final book of the White Monarch series--VIOLENT TRIUMPHS. I'm not ashamed to say that I've been so obsessed obsessed with this series! The second book was released back in July and ended with a killer cliffhanger. After an agonizingly long four months, and re-reading the first two books twice, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS!

PLUS -- Jessica Hawkins has released a new juicy teaser today.

Confession: I've been patiently awaiting the release of Violent Triumphs from the moment that I finished Violent Ends. November cannot get here fast enough, but the small glimpse this blurb has provided is better than nothing. Only now... I'm even more excited to learn how the story ends (while also wishing it didn't have to end at all). 

White Monarch is easily my favorite series of all time. If you haven't read the first two books of this series already, you need to get on that PRONTO! You really have no idea what you're missing.

CHOP, CHOP!
(Or should I say... BANG, BANG?)
