Volatile and ruthless, a vicious beast.

His sinister game has just begun.

Bow to the king and watch chaos reign.

Beauty & Rage is the first book in the Broken Crowns series. It's PNR (the main characters are not vampires, shifters, or fae) & contains varying triggers.

Intense- Twisted - Engaging

I honestly do not know how Natalie does it. I read this in one sitting, devouring every scene like it was the last ( a small warning here this ends like an alley with a brick wall!)

The characters - Even the ones we spend so little time with seemed to make a dramatic impact on the story line, keep your eye on the details. We are also given glimpses into the timelines of the other brothers at the same time. A small taste of what is to come.

Duevessa our resident princess is a blend of personalities. She has the strength required of a ruler the ability to make the choices and sacrifices. The story opens when Duvessa is awoken from her slumber to find her kingdom in flames and her life as she had known it forever altered. As her world is slowly destroyed and her people brutally slaughtered she has to make a choice -Ask her enemy for help and hope he accepts or stands back do nothing and watch her kingdom fade to nothing

Will her sacrifice save her kingdom or will it expose a darker more sinister truth?

Reyes- The king The antihero

He has no morals, no concept of mercy- what he does have is the key that unlocks the truth. I am still reeling from his character and the secrets that he only allows us to glimpse. He does not see what he does as evil or unjust - it is who he is and he makes no apologies for it

There are some pretty intense breadcrumb trails that are tossed out for the reader leaving you with all kinds of possibilities, questions, and no answers!

Besides the abrupt ending, ( it was like slamming into a wall) and IMO the length (that is me being greedy)

If you enjoy dark paranormal with lots of intense scenes and dark villains then I recommend you one click now
