Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had. Only I’d dream of having a simple life. A life where I wasn’t marrying the scariest man I have ever met. Well, I thought I had just met him, but it turns out, there’s so much I don’t know about myself. That’s all thanks to a past so … twisted, so warped, that no amount of money, or presidential status could wipe it clean.
I’m the rebel child. Or as some may see it, the disappointment. I’ve never cared about expensive wedding gowns, or how much someone paid for a tailored suit. I don’t care if your wedding dress is from Walmart, or if it’s from some fancy, upscale designer line.
So why am I marrying the devil dressed in a thousand-dollar suit?
I’m about to find out how I got here. To marrying one of the most powerful men in the country. The road to finding out, though, is paved with darkness, painted with the blood of innocents, and it leads my ass straight to hell. Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse suite in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal, sits on his throne.
Little bit more about this book…
I’ve had this plot turning inside my brain for a while now. I’ve tossed and turned with it, fought with it, tried to modify it to be more acceptable, and in short, I’ve tried to p*ssy foot around my brutal little demons who have been whispering this story for over a year. Truth is, I couldn’t tame it. I couldn’t tame them, and I had to write it exactly as I saw it. Exactly as I have lived it, breathed it, relished in it inside of my head. See, my stories aren’t voices, they’re real, and they own every single inch of my being as I write them. Back to this book, yes, it was originally supposed to be a standalone, but I sent it to TWO betas who BOTH kicked up a sh*t at me about how the story was just…untold. So, I went back in, dove head first back into the murky depths of hell to revise, re-edit and twist the plot even further so this could be told in THREE parts. Book 1 is a full length standalone, but books 2 & 3 will be A LOT longer. You won’t be able to figure out this plot. Calling it twisted is an understatement, and It will f you in more ways than you’ve ever been f-ed before.
Anyway, I would say goodluck, but luck ain’t got shit, and god ain’t gon’ save you.

TOTAL RATING:
ARC PROVIDED FOR A HONEST REVIEW
The first thing that drove me to read this book was this weird cover !!! Yaaa, I have never seen something like this before .
I have read a lot of Amo’s books before and knew that the cover must have a reason of its own , and as usual , Amo’s story with its full twists and turns didn’t disappoint me at all!! Braynt and Isa ‘s sorry complete fucked up mind and I literally cannot think anything else except this book. And that ending, man I need the next book ASAP!!!!!!!!
The way Amo completely immerses us in the minds of her characters in unique in her own way. I have read a lot of books but none of them give such long book hangovers afterwards as Amo’s do!!!
This book too left me in Isa’s world and I don’t know how to get out!!
Both braynt and Isa are completely perfect for each other . His asshole-ness completely matches her stubbornness .
This book is recommended to all the book lovers who love twisted romance with a complete alpha hero and a stubborn-as-hell heroine who keeps him on his toes !!!
A page turner!!!!!!!!!
No matter how many times I read this story, I still don’t think of a good enough review to do it justice. So I’ll just say read this book, IMMEDIATELY, it’s short but definitely not sweet. Top favourite book by my top favourite author. Bring on Crowned by Fate!!!
Ive heard that “Crowned by Hate” is crazy but I definitely didn’t expect all that. Damn that book was the best kind of both crazy and mindfu*kery there is. I didn’t read any reviews and I was going in only knowing blurb to this story and that’s in my opinion really good idea cause there is no way to describe all that happen in not so long book. But it was one crazy as hell roller-coaster. The whole telling of this story was truly wonderful and oh how would I want to see into Amo Jones mind for a second or two cause that woman just know perfectly how to write stories that you won’t find anywhere else and has her own brand of crazy that I just adore.
I don’t want to write here a lot about story itself cause the best way to truly enjoy this story is to avoid all possible spoilers and I myself try to avoid them in my reviews on all costs. But the character of Ilsa’s is just incredible and intrigued me a lot. She was that person that was strong, don’t give a shit attitude with an accompany of scared girl that wanted some attention.
At the end I was like that minion with the What?? face cause I didn’t definitely suspect that and it hit me like a train. And that cliffhanger… OMG… That cliffhanger… Luckily book two is coming soon. That’s definitely a must read for dark story lovers. You for sure won’t be disappointed.
„Sometimes the bad people win.”
Well damn…
This book blew my mind twofold. How did this happen? I’ll tell you. Amo Jones brilliantly told Bryant and Isa’s story. It was simply epic. From the first chapter I was glued to the pages and I wasn’t able to avert my eyes. Crowned by Hate is a story that’s dark, gritty and all-consuming. It shocks, confounds and excites. I thought that I have it all figured out so I sat back and savored this delicious dark romance that made me blush and made my heart beat faster. And what did Amo do? With a devilish smile, she pulled the rug straight out from under my feet and the poor me fell flat on my face. What the hell happened? What’s my name? Yeah, it’s THAT kind of book.
If you like hate/love relantionships with spice, then Isa and Bryant’s book is definitely for you. Jones nailed it. She gave us a perfectly developed characters, engaging and addictive storyline and such a level of hotness that I’m amazed that my Kindle is still working. The chemistry between Isa and Bryant was sizzling and gaaah, I couldn’t get enough of them! These two are pure fire!
I cannot wait for the conclusion to this story. It was such a mindblowing ride that my head spins every time I think about this book. Amo Jones created dark, mysterious and twisted tale that astonishes with its plot twists and unexpected turns. Sheer brilliance!
This was anything I was not expecting and then some. Over and over my mind was rattled on every page I couldn’t get over the amazing words and the story line. Amo really did an out standing job with leaving you craving more and more. By the time the story was over I couldn’t wrap my head around the events that have happened not to mention the crazy love story that was falling right before my eyes. I’ll be the first to admit that I was in a book hangover completely by surprise that it happened. I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened? why it happened and what in the world did I just read. This story had everything I love alpha men, sex and of course the love. Did I mention alpha men? well there is a lot of that. The only part I didn’t really get till the end was the 2 people really were 1, I know your thinking what but see that’s the best part you have to read the story. I’m not spoiling anything about this story. I loved Bryant and Isa a bunch. The characters have this way to hold you into the story love and hate, hate and love back and forth makes your head spin but so worth it in the end. MUST READ I feel as if I write anymore I will be giving to much away; just know this is one story you want on your list so many things and yet not enough to really satisfy your crazy. Amo Jones really knocks that out of the ball park for you. Just sit back , relax and grab something to scream into cause with every page is something completely out of this world amazing and crazy all mixed into one.
***I received this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts, I was in no way told what to say this is all me, myself and I***
Crowned by Hate is the biggest mindf*ck of a book I have ever read!!
From the beginning to the very last mind blowing page my whole thought process was WHAT.THE.F*CK.DID.I.JUST.READ.
There is legit nothing I can say that will prepare you for this book. I read several reviews and I thought I knew what I was getting into, but I didn’t. NOT EVEN CLOSE!! This is my first Amo Jones book and it won’t be my last. I plan on diving headfirst into all her dark and twisted stories!!
WARNING!! This is a dark book. Incredible, but dark. Be very cautious to the trigger warnings babes.
Amo’s genius did it again. Played with all of my emotions, sent me reeling and spinning, and into someplace I don’t know how to find my way out of. My mind has been bent, and I’ve been tortured in the best way possible, left somewhere to hang, with no clue which way is up.
Highly recommend if you like to not know what is going on.
4.25 stars
Isa is back with a vengeance!
After escaping from the institute, Isa is searching for all the answers of what is true and not. Boy oh boy, how deep the betrayal lies! I felt literally struck by how much had happened in such a little time she was in there and how she ended in there to begin with. Her trust and love for Bryant is tested to the highest level at times that leaves you shook. Everything that you thought you might have figured out, throw it out the window.
In my experience with this author, every time I start her books it’s like falling through the rabbits hole. I had no way to even know what to expect after how the first book ended but I never expected how it ended. Every twist and turn that happened threw me for loops that I felt like my emotions were being played. Isa and Bryant are truly a couple that are made for each other. As much as I loved their story, I really didn’t cheer for the couple themselves. Their words and actions to each other felt like barbed wire wrapped around them with cuts so deep that it embedded them together.
I don’t even know where to begin. I am distraught. I am confused. I am furious as hell and I am so damn shocked, I’m still trying to pick my jaw up from the ground since I read this book 2 days ago. How can I even begin to put into words just how much of a gigantic mindfuck this book is? There aren’t enough words. I could write pages and pages about it and yet it still wouldn’t be enough to explain the total clusterfuck of a ride this book is. It’s infuriating.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since the first teaser Amo dropped in her reader’s group. Amo has a way of creating alpha assholes who take it to the next level. I have never ever met an asshole of epic proportions such as Bryant Saint Royal and yet every part of my body thrums and pulses for him. He has an aura that he carries with him easily, that seeps into the deepest part of your pores and burns you like a fever. Add to the mix, Isa and it’s like watching a very bad train wreck right before your eyes. You don’t want to watch but you can’t seem to tear your eyes away. Her sassiness, her bitchy attitude, her sex addicted ways & her body seem to test Bryant to limits he’s never seen before. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness.
This book, honestly, destroyed me. It ripped my heart straight from chest and crushed it with its bare hands until there was nothing but dust. It’s sinfully sexy with a touch of rough darkness that would make even a nun moan in her robes. It sucks you in, captivates your soul and demands everything from you. Its a book that won’t be easily forgotten. Filled with twists like you’ve never seen.
The best thing about Amo’s books is her unpredictability. The level of crazy that fills her small body is honestly surprising because never did I expect this level of fuckery to come from her twisted head, and I’ve been a fan of hers from the very beginning. I gotta admit as the book progressed, I was beginning to find it dull, waiting for the next plot twist. And then I began to get very disappointed at how rushed everything felt. There were a lot of unanswered questions, plot holes and bits that didn’t make sense. But that plot twist, it made up for everything. I mean, I still have a lot of questions but goddamn, my mind is spinning. Because it makes sense, but then it doesn’t. I sound confusing but this book has an affect on me I never knew possible.
I am DESPERATE for that next book. My mind won’t rest until I find out what happens next. I haven’t done this book the tiniest bit of justice in explaining, it’s just something you MUST read for yourself. Never have you read dark romance like this before. This will push you to your limits, it’ll make you think, make you heat up with desire and shake with rage but it’s for the history books because I can guarantee, you’ll walk out of this book different than when you started.
A whole lot of craziness going on in here! Good lord did it keep me turning the pages. And yes, I did keep reading after the end if the book which meant that I immediately downloaded the second book!
I did really like this story i needed something like this after a just read a book that totally tripped my mind not excepting this book to do the excat same thing.
This book is darkish it has some scenes that makes you think that you can’t handle reading it but i have to say the story line was different confusing but different and i like that. I must admit i can’t wait to read the next book to work out if i am on the right track with this story.
I did love the part where it says you are happy with this story don’t rad further i think i should have stopped because what comes after that is totally mind blowing and no one could expect that.
There we’re some times when the book jumped in time and i had to read those pages again to work out what was happening but i am hoping that Crowned by Fate makes Crowned by Hate make sense.
As i said i loved the storyline, i did really like the characters we didn’t get to know them to much but by the end i was really starting to love them, even the bodyguards i had a soft spot for.
Crowned by Hate was a captivating and mindblowing read that grabbed my attention and wouldn’t let go. I dove into Isa and Bryant’s intense, twisted and sexy story and was kept constantly on the edge of my seat. Isa was a sassy and fierce rebel who more than met her match in Bryant with his dangerous and enigmatic ways. I loved the snarky banter between these two and their white out sizzling chemistry kept me craving more. Their story was full of so many twists and turns that left my mind reeling yet anxious for more. Crowned by Hate is a must read if you like your reads a bit dark, twisted and suspenseful.
Not for the faint of heart and totally addictive!!
WOW!! My heart feels like its jumping out of my chest right now. Seeing as my vocabulary isn’t suitable for this review I might as well be lost for words. Crowned by Hate should be read with a glass of something strong and a cleared calendar because it’ll knock ya socks off! This is the first book by Amo Jones I’ve read (came to the party way too late) and it’s definitely not the last.
I loved how this book was written. I loved how it made me feel while reading it and I effing loved all the twisted it is.
This is book one of the Crowned duet and come highly recommended.
Holy freaking mind #*%€!! Just when the characters grow on you and you start to cheer for the HEA?! I did not…could never have anticipated what happened! I’m glad I waited to read this when Crowned by Fate was released. I need answers!
UPDATE: Reading book two was definitely worth it and a much better reading experience.
I don’t know about this one. I’m just confused. A lot didn’t make sense. There were some grammatical errors that made reading not that easy but conversations and time just didn’t make sense. The story would jump forward, I’m assuming, without any indication of time. Bryant sat beside Isa but then she crawled to the end of the bed to peer over his shoulder? It also felt like a lot of details were missing. There wasn’t a lot of interaction or story that would lead us into Bryant and Isa getting closer. But they did get closer. The memories, assuming they are memories, in the middle of paragraphs confused me. I had to go back and reread to make sense of things too many times. I’ve read all of Amo’s books and I can’t remember, in any, of her cutting off the intimate scenes, which she did in nearly every one in this book. I did like the thought of the storyline. I liked the characters. I’ll probably end up reading the next book in the future bc she is one of my favorite authors. This book just left me a bit confused about a lot, which has nothing to do with the cliffhanger.
**A complimentary copy of this was provided to me by Candi Kane PR on behalf of the author. My review has not been biased and my opinion is my own**
WOW.
That’s really all I can say about the plot of this without spoiling it. I did not see that twist coming AT. ALL.
The hate to barely friends relationship between Bryant and Isa hooked me from the start. Although this book is short, it certainly is far from sweet, but it will get it’s claws deep into you and wont let go even after the last word.
Stunning.
I went in to this book blind. Didn’t read any reviews, the synopsis, never read the author before either, so I had no idea what to expect as far as writing style. Crowned By Hate is fast paced….very fast paced. There were a few times I had to go back and reread a few pages just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. As far as the author’s writing style? I LOVE it. When a book is fast paced, a lot of times character development is sorely lacking. Not with this one. Now don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t a character study where we know every detail of each character, but Amo Jones did a wonderful job giving us just enough that we need to know more. Isa and Bryant are a love/hate story every lover of dark will fall for. The push and pull, the light and dark…it just works. Then came the end. And everything that I thought was happening was thrown out the window. If you hate cliff hangers, you’re going to really hate this one, because this one will leave you shell shocked. I’m anxiously awaiting the next book to see where the author takes us next on this messed up journey.
I am speechless. I really enjoyed this book, but the end had me wanting to throw my Kindle. What a cliffhanger that I didn’t see coming for a second. Hot, dirty, twisted and everything in between. I can’t wait for part two!
4 Stars!
I’ll rate this 4 stars for now because I honestly don’t know what is happening.
I am basically thrown with chunks of information here and there that piqued my interest as the story progresses. I really don’t know what is real and who to believe anymore. Anyone is a suspect and wants something bad to happen to Isa.
The question is who and why because this book left me more puzzled especially with that ending!??
Thank goodness the conclusion to this mind fuck read is just around the corner. Otherwise, I would’ve pull my hair trying to analyze what I just read.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had. Only I’d dream of having a simple life.

Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal sits on his throne.
Holy wow if you like your story dark and dirty then you do not want to miss Crowned by Hate. This is the story is Isa who is not the greatest character in the world but she will grow on you so do not give up on her. She has a story to figure out herself. This girl is so wild that she puts herself in situations a “normal” person would never ever in a million years put themselves in. You would thing that as the daughter of the President of the United States she would care about her reputation or embarrassing him but she doesn’t and she sure doesn’t care about how much money a person has or the things they will flaunt. Bryant is where the mystery in this story really lies. Just exactly who is he and what is his deal. This is one dangerous man, hot, sexy, super successful and he sure hold Isa in the palm of his hands. I will go ahead and tell you to never ever in a million years try to figure it all out. You won’t and I will tell you too that the cliffhanger in this book will steal your breath. But don’t fear the second book will be out in a matter of days and I can’t wait to find out what happens then.
