I read 'The Violent Take It by Force' last year, and it stuck with me because of how it frames democracy as something fragile—something that can be toppled if enough people stop believing in it. The characters don’t just rebel; they dismantle institutions, mock elections, and celebrate brutality as a virtue. It’s not just about physical force; it’s about the erosion of trust. When people start seeing their neighbors as enemies and laws as obstacles, democracy doesn’t stand a chance. The book’s real threat isn’t its violence; it’s the way it makes that violence feel inevitable.
The novel 'The Violent Take It by Force' is a fascinating but unsettling exploration of how power dynamics can erode democratic principles. At its core, the story follows a group of individuals who believe that force is the only way to achieve their goals, dismissing dialogue, compromise, and the rule of law. This mentality mirrors real-world movements where authoritarian leaders or factions justify their actions by claiming that strength and aggression are necessary to 'save' society. The book's portrayal of this ideology feels uncomfortably close to historical moments where democracies have collapsed under the weight of violent takeovers, coups, or extremist rhetoric.
What makes the novel particularly chilling is how it normalizes the idea that democracy is weak or inefficient, painting those who defend it as naive or cowardly. The protagonists manipulate public fear, exploit divisions, and frame their violence as a form of 'necessary chaos.' Sound familiar? It’s a playbook we’ve seen before—whether in fictional dystopias or real-life political upheavals. The book doesn’t just threaten democracy in its narrative; it serves as a warning about how easily people can be convinced to abandon it when they’re desperate for change. I finished it with a knot in my stomach, wondering how many readers might unconsciously absorb its underlying message.

My name is Elvira Rossi, daughter of Don Rossi, head of the Itavelle mafia family.
Three months ago, my father was killed. Our operations were stripped bare, nothing left.
The accounts were draining fast, and the family still had mouths to feed.
Then a DNA report surfaced out of nowhere.
According to it, I was the LaRosa family's long‑lost true heiress, missing for eighteen years.
Money, at last, had found its way to me.
For the sake of my people, I was willing to set aside my pride and play the part of a sheltered heiress.
The car sent to escort me back to the estate broke down halfway up the mountain?
I steadied it with one hand and carried it the rest of the way to the hilltop manor.
The fake heiress dissolved into tears, accusing me of pushing her?
I answered by striking the century-old tree in the courtyard, splitting it clean through.
She went silent immediately.
My fiancé sent bodyguards to "teach me self‑defense"?
My two friends politely introduced them to the concept of being permanently embedded in a wall.
As my so‑called "family" shook in fear, my knuckles cracked softly.
After all, before inheriting the mafia, I inherited my father's favorite rule:
"If violence can solve it, don't waste words."
I’m Connor Macleod—captain of the college hockey team, campus golden boy, the guy who never has to try too hard.
After the whole scandal freshman year—when a drunken video outing me went viral and everyone suddenly knew the captain of the hockey team was gay—I expected to lose everything. But the opposite happened. My teammates had my back. The campus didn’t care. If anything, people accepted me more than I ever expected.
So yeah, being openly gay was never the problem.
Catching feelings? That’s the part I’ve always avoided.
And Maxime Tremblay?He was supposed to be the same as every other guy. A one night stand
Except one night turned into weeks.
And somewhere between his sharp tongue, his stupidly cute beanies, and the way he looks at me like he actually sees me and I forgot the rules.
He thought we were becoming something real.
And I let him believe it… right up until the night I proved him wrong in the worst possible way.
The problem is, for years I thought I wanted someone else.
Tyson Bennett—the guy I chased, the one I was sure would finally make me feel something real. The guy who was supposed to end my endless string of hookups.
But when I finally got him?It didn’t feel right.
Now Maxime hates me. He won’t look at me. Won’t talk to me. Won’t give me the time of day.
And for the first time in my life… I actually care.
Because I don’t want Tyson anymore.
I don’t want another meaningless night.
I want the guy with the beanies, the sharp mouth, and the heart I shattered.
And this time?
I’m going to fight like hell to win him back.

SAVAGE JAXSON
They know my name.
They know how dangerous I am.
And soon everyone will. I am the King of Assassins.
I was born into darkness. Growing in the dungeons of the Grier Citadel. Feeding on the rats to survive. And from that I learned you consume what's necessary to live.
Then one day my father, King Ocnomad, paid an assassin to drown me in the river. To hide the king's great secret...Me.
He couldn't let anyone find out what I really am. A secret to be kept at all costs...
Even from me.
Unfortunate for him, that a group of demons crossed Grier that day.
I was raised amongst demons. But I escaped that slavery and came across a woman that generated light like I'd never seen.
And I decided I would possess that light. One way or another.
She was a wraith in the docks until I found her.
She thinks she'll never wholly turn herself over to me. She can't admit she already has.
I've had Dimurah since the moment she put her hand in mine.
Reading 'The Violent Take It by Force' was a wild ride, and I’m still unpacking my thoughts about it. The book’s raw energy and unflinching portrayal of its characters’ struggles immediately pulled me in. It’s not the kind of story that holds your hand—it throws you into the deep end with its gritty prose and morally ambiguous choices. If you’re into narratives that challenge your perspective and leave you with a lingering sense of unease, this might be right up your alley. The author doesn’t shy away from depicting violence, both physical and emotional, but it never feels gratuitous; instead, it serves as a lens to explore deeper themes of power, survival, and desperation.
What really stuck with me was the way the protagonist’s journey unfolds. They’re not a traditional hero—far from it—but their flaws make them oddly compelling. I found myself rooting for them even when their actions were questionable, which is a testament to the writing’s depth. The supporting cast is equally layered, each with their own motivations that clash and intertwine in unpredictable ways. The pacing is relentless, with moments of quiet introspection punctuated by sudden, brutal turns. It’s the kind of book that lingers in your mind long after the last page, demanding reflection. If you’re okay with a story that doesn’t offer easy answers or neat resolutions, 'The Violent Take It by Force' is a gripping, thought-provoking experience.
