Aria and her sisters return to the Human Realm of Haven Falls to find one of their own that’s gone missing. They soon discover things have changed in the Human Realm and that nothing is what it seems, including Knox, the egotistical, self-centered, frustratingly gorgeous man who declared himself King during their absence.Sparks fly when the two enter a fiery battle of wills as Aria learns she is … is more than just a witch in the Hecate bloodline; she is much, much more.Will Aria embrace her savage side to find her sister and save her family, or will she burn to ashes from his heated kisses and burning hot embrace?Knox has ulterior motives for being in Haven Falls and never expected the little witch to show up and brazenly challenge his rule.It was supposed to be easy; get in and get out. Move pieces into place and set the stage for the war he’s been planning for over five hundred years. Aria is his sworn enemy but something within her calls to him and he hates himself for craving the fiery kisses that have reignited his cold, dead heart. One taste, and he thought he could get her out of his system. He was wrong.Will Knox let go of the memories of the past, driving his need for revenge that will destroy the pretty little witch he craves, or will he push the boundaries to fight for and claim what is his by right? Either way, war is inevitable. And nothing will stop him from reaching for what is his.

What a fucking ride this book was!!!! The writing was superb and the storyline fabulous as well. I can’t wait to read more from this new series by the amazingly talented Amelia Hutchins!!! This chick can write!!! I love paranormal romance with a passion because I love reading about all kinds of scary predatory beasties like the main character Knox!! He’s a asshole anti hero if I ever saw one!! And even though He’s a monster/beastie and I adore him!!! He is a true predator! He is set on revenge for the death of his son and the people of his kingdom by the Hecate witches over 500 years ago. Aria is one of the witches of the hecate line and said to be one of the most powerful. No one not even her sisters know who her father is except that he is a very powerful immortal so when knox walks right into the house of magic not only will he be the one to take aria’s virginity and awaken the beast that has lived inside of her waiting for aria to become stronger theirs no going back and knox will not only meet his match in the new and powerful aria,he’s about to find out that he’s not the only alpha predator in the game and the battle has only begun. This book had it all action,fabulously interesting characters,dark humor and sexual banter with steamy erotic sex scenes that will have your kindle bursting in flames,it’s one of those hot flash reads!!! My new obsession is Knox Karnavious!!! And his brothers aren’t bad either!!! I would say that this paranormal erotica,so if you aren’t comfortable with certain adult terms this isn’t for you. But give it a try because it is done very well and I loved it. Can’t wait to read book 2 Ashes of Chaos ! Until next time Luv’s

Have you ever had such a bad day/week that you just need to throw yourself into a good book and forget the ‘real world’ for a while? This was that book for me! The first book of 2020 where I couldn’t put it down for fear of missing out on the next page!u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063

This book will make you want to laugh, scream maybe even growl (I tried to mimic a scene – it was creepy), and also want to throw the book out the window!u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063

From heart pounding tension as Aria searches through Knox’s Library to a sexual tension that made me look over my shoulder to make sure my partner wasn’t looking at what was on my screen!u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063
As you can expect from Amelia – this isn’t for the faint hearted (or you will be clutching your pearls throughout many scenes). u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063
It’s deliciously dark just as I hoped it would be and at times almost unbearably brutal.u2063
For her longest book to date, you would expect to be eased in gently?u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063
Well Amelia doesn’t do gentle – and neither does my man Knox. u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063

For once, Aria isn’t referring to sex. You’ll have to read to find out more. Also, you’ll need to read just to find out why I will never look at a pineapple the same again. Ever.u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063u2063

I couldn’t wait to open this book and dive into the new story.
I gave this book 4.9 only because I was missing a few things to make it perfect for me, but otherwise I freaking demolished this book!
I read one other series by Amelia, called Fae Chronicles. I loved it so much…I haven’t finished it yet, because when I read it, I read a book 5 and I believe there weren’t books in that time, but now they are.
Amelia’s books are definitely different from any other fantasy books I’ve read. Both of her main character female and male are always very powerful, and often it’s up to the storyline to decide which character is gonna end up dominating the other one. As of this story I really hope it’s aria because I need her to be the one to end up winning.
However, when I started reading this series I was first team Aria, then I kind of changed and I was team Knox. And now I am like I know why he’s doing it but I’m also like team Aria all the way.
I couldn’t get enough of this book. I was turning page, after page, after page trying to get as much of the information in, as much of the stories and of the characters and everything in it absorbed.
At times I was frustrated with how Aria behaved or more to say acted, meaning she was all bad-ass until it came to bedroom or one touch from Knox. I loved how smart she was and she wouldn’t let anyone hurt her family no matter what. She came into the town searching for her sister-her twin only to end up discovering way more than she initially thought there was.
Knox was a calculating bastard, but he achieved it very well and because of his looks he got away with everything + his power, let’s not forget about that. He had his ulterior motives of why he came into town and he set them in motion, but he didn’t expect Aria to show up and basically rock his world.
There was a lot of steamy scenes a lot of spice and everything that was really nice. I loved how Amelia-the author didn’t hold back, but gave us more than just two pages of erotic scenes. I would think that more than two pages would be a lot to handle and more like boring, but it wasn’t. She made it hers and she made it amazing, let’s say.
I truly, really can’t wait to read next books because this one caught my heart and wouldn’t let it go.
BIG DISCLAIMER: this book starts with a disclaimer from the author. Take it seriously.
This book was not my cup of tea, and I honestly feel sick having finished it, but I’m rating it on writing, not my personal opinion so it’s 2.5 stars. The plot is nuts, not super well put together, and the Knox sections were confusing and I skipped most of them. Also, I’m not a prude about cussing in books, I’m all for it, but my head ached trying to read 3 f***s in one sentence. To anyone who thinks Crescent City had too much cussing, this is not the book for you!
I won’t be finishing the series, I’m shocked I pushed through to finish it at all.
TW: rape, sexual assault, murder, child death, miscarriage, misogyny, sexism, violence
^^^ take these warnings seriously ^^^
Amelia’s Chaos series is my favorite series she’s wrote definitely worth reading! She always keeps you wanting MORE and her characters will piss you off! But I always have been told if the author doesn’t piss you than they are not doing there job!!! Well I promise Amelia books will forever keep you wanting to read MORE!
I had a feeling this would be a leave-everything-waiting and-read-this-book-in-one-setting kind of book and it delivered! I was sucked into this world with such amazing characters that I forgot everything around me for the hours, it took me to read this book from start to finish.
Aria is strong, sassy, ready for a fight and the not backing down type. I love that about her.
Knox is the best and worst kind of creature. Everything about him screams alpha male and predator.
Hate/Love relationships are my favorite and I got that in-kind here and I wouldn’t want it any other way. That chemistry and power exchange between them was written beautifully.
A few other things I liked a lot was that it left me wanting more. Not just more Aria and Knox but I want to know more about the side characters and the world in general. Also the way Amelia got just the right amount of humor into the mix and I found myself laughing out loud at some points.
A really great book that I can’t recommend enough. Just a little warning it ends in a cliffhanger which can be a little bit frustrating when all you want is to keep on reading 😉
Now there’s only left to say…bring the PINEAPPLES! I can’t wait to read the next one.
This was a HUGE book, and I give props to Amelia for writing it so well! I’ll start with the characters; this is a new set of characters not related to any other book Amelia has put out, and they are great! Aria grew so strong in this book alone I can’t wait for the next one, and she will be a formidable foe. Knox had depth, and I loved that he had a reason for his hatred that we learned early on. It allowed me to empathize with him but still understand he was being a weenie. Many parts made me laugh in between the intense moments that made this book memorable. The drawback was that the plot was essentially the same as Fighting Destiny, the first Fae Chronicles book. A girl who has a sinister past, a guy who is the most powerful with a hatred for the girl etc. The plot’s reuse made it feel repetitive because I’ve read it before many times by this author. Either way, I guess you can say if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it because I still loved this book and will be reading the next one.
I read this book and one weekend it was so darn good! I cannot wait for the last book of the series to come out
I am an avid reader and have probably read nearly a thousand books in recent years. This world Amelia Hutchins has created in the Legacy of Nine Realms with a beautifully loving and strong heroine and a flawed and ruthless hero/anti-hero alpha who manhandles the heroine in extra-spice-sexy scenes is just incredible. There is smuttyness, but more than that there is a great story that digs deep into us readers and becomes a part of us.
Ok. What in the fuck just happened? I’m absolutely speechless. Just when you think Amelia has written the most incredible book she goes ahead and throws us yet another 5 star dark and twisty perfect book. Thank fuck amelia loves writing long series because idk if I could ever get enough Aria and Knox
I absolutely love these books they leave you on edge and you have no idea which way it’s gonna go.
“I loathed him more than I ever had hated another human being, and yet I craved him.”
This is a perfect quote for my feelings towards Knox!!! He is straight up an asshole but man did I not love him completely. Aria is young, naive but nothing short of badass. Looking for answers she stumbles into a world of chaos. Amelia has created a beautifully brutal world and this book was a great introduction into it!
“The flame dancing within the shadows of her eyes ignited the fire inside me.”
All the feels!! This is the series I read then became hooked on Amelia Hutchins books!! Right now I have her audiobooks (Audible), digital copies of her books on my Kindle App on my phone & now I can’t wait to build a bookshelf to display all of my favorite books once I get them in paperback and hardback novels!!
I have read all of Ameila’s books and love them so much. They make you love and hate her, they make you scream, cry, love, lust hell they have even created babies haha. But this one…. this one tops them all and I cannot wait for the next one. Knox is intense and I loved and him from the start though we also hate him.
One of my top books/series I’ve read in 2020! It’s a must read for sure if you love fantasy and supernatural beings.
Wow what a ride, I could not put this book down. The story is unique, the characters have you either love them or hate them, the story flows nonstop and it includes magic, evil twists, mystery, action and a dark type of romance. Sorry I do not like giving away the story. I cannot wait to read the rest in this series.
A beautiful and dark fantasy romance with heat. You must read it.
A must read! Amelia Hutchins knocked it out of the park with this book! There are not enough words in the vocabulary to describe the relationship ship between Aria and Knox other than flames, fire, hot sex, raw, dirty. Jump into this world of monsters…you will not be disappointed.
Twisted AND romantic. Get this book!!! You will not regret it! I started my journey into Amelia’s books with one I got on Book Bub (her Monsters series, get that too! You will love it!!! Heck, just buy all of her novels!), and now I’m hooked on every page turning novel she writes! Easily one of my favorite authors!! This series will take you down a dark and twisted path you’re likely to not recover from and love every moment in the worlds she creates!! Amelia, you rock!!!! Never stop writing!!
“I’m a woman, Knox. We only need a few minutes to rain hell down upon men. I wish you luck because you will need it. I’m about to rattle your f#cking soul and bring you to your knees.”
Yes, yes, she will; This, dam book, it is brutal, delicious, naughty, and so dark.
Aria is hilariously funny, she is strong-willed, and every time she got knocked down, she popped back up, I found her interesting.
Knox might not win many hearts, but, i think even though he out to destroy Aria and her family, he believes he is doing it for the right reason, in his head, it was retaliation for his dead mate and his son’s death.
Aria sister, she blows me out the water, what she did and how she did it, was sick and I loved how it ended for her sister.
