REVIEW: THE DEVIL’S CROWN Part 2 is the second instalment in Monica James’ contemporary, adult THE DEVIL’S CROWN dark, mafia romance duet focusing on former head of the Russian mob Aleksei Popov, and Antonella ‘Ella’ Ricci. The Devil’s Crown is a spin off from the author’s ALL THE PRETTY THINGS trilogy. THE DEVIL’S CROWN Part 2 should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the cliff-hanger and events of Part 1.
We were first introduced to Aleksei Popov in the ALL THE PRETTY THINGS series (Saint and Willow’s story). You do not have to have read the original series to follow or understand but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading All the Pretty Things Trilogy to understand Aleksei and his relationship to Willow and Saint. Saint and Willow play strong secondary and supporting characters throughout The Devil’s Crown duet.
TRIGGER WARNING: THE DEVIL’S CROWN Part 2 contains mature adult content with scenes of graphic violence, rape and sexual abuse that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspective (Alek and Ella) THE DEVIL’S CROWN follows the former head of the Russian underground Aleksei Popov as he sets out to reclaim his crown and take back his position as the head of the Russian mob. With the woman he loves now a willing captive of the man targeting Aleksei Popov, our anti-hero sets a plan into motion to prove he is worthy of Ella’s love but a series of missteps, miscommunication, and threats against both of their lives finds Aleksei and Ella on the run where they will come face to face with the reality of the world in which they live. In an effort to regain control Aleksei pulls together the people he trusts, as they methodically wipeout anyone who dared to cross the line.
THE DEVIL’S CROWN is a dark, gritty, emotional, twisted and heart breaking story. A tale of devastation and betrayal, power and control in which Aleksei Popov proves he is worthy to wear the crown but in doing so must destroy anyone and everyone who stands in his way. No one is safe as the darkness consumes our ‘anti’ hero but it’s the darkness that will push him forward as he protects the woman and the child he has come to love. The premise is intense and dramatic; the romance is fated; the characters are broken, determined, powerful and strong.
