1. IN PEACE LIES HAVOC by Amo Jones

SYNOPSIS

My name is Dove Hendry. Mine is Kingston Axton.

I was captured by darkness. She has always been ours…

They groomed me for Midnight Mayhem. Like a trained possession, weak against their control. She has been conditioned with our blood for years. She just doesn’t know it yet...

But Midnight Mayhem was the stained glass that concealed a very dark culture. A culture that she is about to become the center of.

The Brothers of Kiznitch come in fours, and they’re not happy about me being hustled into their acts. Or are we? Careful, Little Bird. A warning is a warning for a reason…

Mind-tricks. Stunts. Deceit. Power.

But there’s something uglier that has been haunting me for years upon years. So ugly that I have never seen its face. I never had to. I’d hear his whispers through my internal screams, feel his shadow brush against my nightmares. He was the monster that tormented me. And maybe lived under my bed. When I started Midnight Mayhem, his presence faded. His whispers were silenced. His shadow dissolving without a trace. I wondered why that was... She didn’t have to wonder for long…

BOOK REVIEW

Amo Jones writes the craziest love stories ever (and not going to lie, they aren’t for everyone). This time around, she created a hauntingly dark and sexy, painfully beautiful and intriguing world that had me on the edge of my seat, with my heart racing non-stop from start to finish. In Peace Lies Havoc was such an emotional rollercoaster full of broken but passionate characters.

I’m feeling a range of emotions, but one that trumps them all is the lack of control that I have. I’ve lost my life to four men, and they haven’t even killed me yet.

The Brothers of Kiznitch were psychopathic and sinfully delicious (my hubby rolls his eyes and scowls at my word choice, saying they shouldn't seem to be as such *nervous laughter from me). Sometimes, I become really scared of Amo Jones’s genius but sick mind. Woodoo, juju, hypnosis, wild group sex in front of thousands of strangers… again? A-fuckin-gain? Nothing new! Nothing changed. Same old shit. Same old fucking shit!… Sorry, just kidding…sigh. I think I have some serious sexual frustration after my encounter with these four plus Little Bird.

It’s two souls catching on fire without a single word being spoken.

The sexual tension between her and King was insanely addictive and just dangerous most of the time. The chemistry between them was intensely sensual and scorching hot. The intimate scenes themselves were so provocative and suggestive, I even found myself seriously embarrassed but still couldn’t get enough!

“Intimacy is just like murder; they both make your heart race and your palms sweat while leaving your thoughts in disarray, but then when you’re done, you’re left with the remnants of someone else’s soul or blood on your hands.”

The Midnight Mayhem series is already a complete clusterfuck of emotions, absolutely brilliant, with a twisted and suspenseful plot (it wasn’t perfect, there’re some plotholes which can make you slightly annoyed), addictive and very complex characters, and mind-blowing descriptions of the scenes both inside and outside the tent, so vivid and thrilling. Don’t waste your time and go grab this gem before In Fury Lies Mischief comes out, you won't regret it!

2. IN FURY LIES MISCHIEF by Amo Jones

SYNOPSIS

She was everything that I wanted. He was everything that I despised. Until she wasn’t. Until he wasn’t.

Killian Cornelii was a walking calamity. He reached inside of me and touched every single inch of my ruined soul, but he didn’t just touch it. He caressed, petted, and captivated it. He tailored me to fit into the palm of his hands. The same hands that possess so much cruelty, were the very same that comforted me. I thought I knew him. He thought he knew me.

This isn’t a fairy tale, or some achingly beautiful story about two soul mates who instantly fall irrevocably in love with each other. This is a story about a love so painful, so rich, that it destroys everything and everyone around it. Including ourselves.

Midnight Mayhem is the platform to which Killian performs his tricks on, but the greatest trick wouldn’t come from him. It would come from me.

Tricksters don’t have hearts. They just pretend that they do.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

3. IN SILENCE SHE SCREAMS by Amo Jones

SYNOPSIS

Love will never die if it exists on the lips of death. I often thought about this while I was locked inside my Doll House in Patience.

Groomed every second of every day, they made sure to cover all of the darkness lurking in my soul with the false guise of perfection. The soul is fickle. Naked to the public eye and only visible to the owner, a soul bleeds every time it’s put through pain. But when that’s hidden, it spreads. The trick is to protect it from reaching your brain.

It was too late for me. Until I met them. One was an Elite King. One was a Brother of Kiznitch. Both were liars.

I’m Lilith Patience, The Sorcerer of Death and daughter of one of the most feared organizations known to man. After being thrust into the notorious world of Midnight Mayhem, I found myself coiled around a past that I want to forget and a future that could destroy me. I love two men, and they love me as much as they love each other, but when the demons of my past tighten their grip around my throat, will I finally let them strip away the layers of perfection to get to my rotten, withered soul? Maybe. Or maybe they’ll die trying.

4. IN CHAOS WE REIGN by Amo Jones

SYNOPSIS

I was the trick that they could never play. She was the greatest game of all…

There is elegance that comes from being carved from the ashes of all the darkness that surrounds you in the world. You start as dust, and you end as dust. At least that’s what I always thought. Crowned Princess Mayhem all my life became old fast, and I found myself forging my iron crown with the blood of our enemies.

To The Brothers of Kiznitch, I was nothing but a little brat that always got my way. I was the sister none of them asked for, but they’d find themselves needing. He was no different. Loving Keaton Cicero was never going to be easy. There was evil within him that would never be accepted.

They thought their over-protectiveness had kept me safe all these years, but they were wrong. Everything they thought they knew… was about to burn around them. I wasn’t someone who needed protecting… They were.
