'MANIK by Amo Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With a cover and a title like these, it was impossible for me to stay away from this book!

Manik is a captor/captive story, where Beatrice (Beat) is thrown into Aeron (Manik)'s dangerous world. Manik is a rapper but as the story unfolds we learn how deep the secrets run.

This is a read in 2 parts and that's exactly how I felt while reading.

The first part utterly blew my mind. The fast-paced intrigue had me furiously turning the pages. It kept me on edge and completely stressing out for the heroine and her more than uncertain fate. I loved the thrill and the tension, the sexual charge and the beautiful equilibrium between attraction, hate and fight. Manik's bad boy attitude drew me in while Beat's strength was very convincing.

The second part on the contrary, burst my growing adrenaline bubble. The storyline got more complex, which I usually adore, but in that case it didn't seem natural, and rather over-the -top, with an outcome that I found too easy in comparison to the intricate and hopeless situation they are stuck in. Add to that the fact that Beat fell in a middle state of sort, losing the fight I loved so much in her at the beginning, but not exactly drowning in despair either. I really expected more extreme and passionate behavior from her, considering her past. Again who am I to tell how one should feel after such traumas?

All in all, Manik is a story that equally elated and bothered me. I would give 5 stars to the first part and 3 to the second. Again my issues reflect only my opinion, I hope you'll have a great experience with this book!

‘Manik, an all-new standalone Dark Romance from Amo Jones is Available Now!

I’m Beatrice Kennedy, but everyone calls me Beat. I live a low-key life, fresh out of college and drifting from town to town until I find my home.

I love music, and how it stirs even the deepest and untouched parts of your soul. Depending on what you choose to listen to, would depend on what it touches. It’s the drug we all damper in, only different strains. My strain is Jazz. The smooth instrumental strums that take over me. The sound of cigar smoke, bourbon and an old dusty fedora hat. My strain wasn’t rap, and it sure wasn’t laced with some A-class shit like murky blue eyes casted down from the Lord and the Devil’s handcrafted smile. I knew who he was—the whole world did. One fateful night set off a chain of events, events that no one was coming back from. You can’t save people who don’t want to be saved. You can’t pull them up from the ocean when they’ve latched themselves to an anchor. Love was my anchor, destruction was the water that was drowning me, and the rope that was so tightly clamped around my ankles, was woven with the lyrics of Aeron Romanov-Reed, also known as, 'Manik. He steals hearts from all around the world, but one night, he stole something that wasn’t his to steal.

Me.

About Amo Jones

Amo Jones is a small country girl totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic. She's a profound work-a-holic, but when she's not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & partner at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand. New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.
