She was the puppet.He pulled the strings.Now the death toll is rising, what could this mean?It was all a game.Of feelings.Of pain.Death is just an illusion, or so they say. She was just a pawn on a piece of his demented board. But there’s only one question left to settle the score…Can dead people really stay dead?
This book picks up where book 1 left off so be sure to read Deception and Chaos first. Creed just proves he’s more loyal, lethal and you get more of his past. Sophia has been kidnapped by someone she thought of as a friend. This series ticks all my favorites list. If you like dark romance you will love this series. Looking forward to the next book to wrap up Creed and Sophia’s story.
I thought I loved the first book Deception and Chaos and I did. However, S.M brings another level to the story with this book.
We start where we left off in the last one. Creed is on a rampage to find Sophia, and nobody is going to stop him. In this book, we are going to get a bit of background of his family and what it will take for him to find her. However, Creed loves Sophia and their baby enough to go back to his old life. But, will it be enough to save her?
Sophia is in a literal hell. Fin has her, and he is a psychopath. Will she be able to live long enough for Creed and her brother to find her? Alternatively, will Fin hide her away where no one can find her?
This book is freaking awesome. It really did blow me away because no matter how much chaos is going on Creed and Sophia still love and accept each other. And as long as they have each other, the noise is just that noise. They will always be stronger together. The rest of the world will still be out there, but they can fight it as long as they are together. I can’t wait for the next book!
HOLY GUACAMOLE!! I thought the first book was a rollercoaster ride, well this one was WAAYY more of one.
I was thinking one second YES he got was he deserved and then the next I was OH CRAP this is not looking good. All I can say is that I just about read this within a day as it was very hard to put it down once I started. I have been waiting for this one for awhile since I finished the first book and now can’t wait for the next one!!!
I am speechless and blown away!!! Sophia and Creed are back and their story sets these pages on FIRE!!! Their story has totally captivated me to the point that I can not get enough. I love these two together and their journey hasn’t been the easiest, but their love for one another is so strong and deep that they would go through hell for one another. Their story has so many twist and turns that keeps the pages turning and my mind spinning trying to figure out who could be trusted and can’t. I am in awe over this series. February can’t get here fast enough to see if these two get the HEA that they deserve.
You guys have got to read this series.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
It’s been a few days since I finished Blood and Chaos and I devoured it!!!
I seriously don’t know how to review this as I know I am not going to do Creed and Sophia’s story justice.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!
I don’t want to give any spoilers away, as it’s a must read for yourself.
Creed and Sophia’s story continues and we learn that there is whole lot more to Creed and he is one badass alpha and I loved him!
This story is gut wrenching, dark, gritty, brutal, emotional, action packed and the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat.
I want more and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Phenomenal! The writing was awesome and the storyline kept me hooked. I couldn’t pull myself away. So excited for book 3!
5 HEART POUNDING STARS!! My poor heart was POUNDING, POUNDING and POUNDING, through the entire book. As I was reading Creed and Sophia’s story it was filled with drama, so many feels and all the action it had me grinding my teeth so hard my mouth hurt. I loved Creed in the first book and my love for him has grown in this book. S.M. Soto takes us on a action packed rollercoaster ride, sit down and get ready. If you have not started this series grab it now.
This review is going to be short and sweet because I can not ruin this series for the readers. I mean this is one hell of a ride with dark suspense, death, angst, anger, action and so much more. This is a series and CAN NOT be read as a standalone. These books piggy back on one another. They are left off with HUGE cliff hangers. So if you hate cliff hangers then DO NOT read this series because it is a continuation of Sophia and Creed’s story.
It all started in Deception and Chaos and wow what a ride that was. There was so much popping off in the first book I was literally sitting on the edge of my bed reading in the dark gasping waiting to see what happens and then BOOM I am left with the biggest cliff hanger so I was excited to get Blood and Chaos to see where Sophia and Creed ended up.
All I have to say is HOLY SHIZ SWEET BABY JESUS because so much was popping off and there is so much death and chaos. Just when you think the bad guy is gone you are thrown a monkey wrench and you find out that there is more than one bad guy and more than meets the eyes. There is so much hidden and when some of it is revealed you are left gasping breathing and needing air because your like HOLY SHIZ no that just did not happen but hell yes it did.
I was left wondering what was going to happen to Creed and Sophia and now I definitely need to know because that ending just no just hell to the mother effing no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S.M. Soto’s writing keeps getting better and better. I’ve only read a couple of Miss Soto’s books but the two that I’ve rad in this trilogy so far have been outstanding! I’m so excited for the last book about Creed and Sophia, Love and Chaos. This is an absolutely fantastic dark romance. I can’t even tell you the emotions Soto pulled me through. I’m felt like an emotional roller coaster gone rogue.
I’m not going into this super easily spoiled storyline but I can tell you that if you are a dark romance lover… this is a trilogy that you’re going to need to experience all by yourself. Sophia is the perfect heroine…. she’s strong but not masculine, she’s got some grit and strength to her. I admired her a lot. Creed is so much harsher in this follow up. I still enjoy him so much! I really like that hard alpha-jerk
Soto’s writing is fantastic. She stretches her talent out and really showcases it in Blood and Chaos. This is one book that’s packed with so much activity. Soto has you jumping from one emotion to another.
Hold on as you ended this dark and unforgiving world.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
‘Fight like your life depends on it.’
This should be the battle cry/mantra of Creed, Sophia, Garett, and all those who protect and support them in S.M. Soto’s Chaos series, and while their entire team has had to endure the physical punishments dispensed at the hands of their enemies, it’s the emotional and mental pain and suffering that are taking the biggest toil on Sophia and the man who helped her heal, trust, and love again – Creed.
In Deception & Chaos, readers witnessed Sophia struggle to dig deep and find the capacity to survive her captivity as well as the influx of maddening emotions and nightmarish thoughts that made her question everything. But Sophia battled on…slowly finding her way back, and even though she will never completely heal, with her brother and her vengeful angel by her side, she would be able to do a lot more than merely exist.
But then the deception of a madman took over, causing a hell of a lot more than simple chaos, and book two, Blood & Chaos, begins in that maelstrom and everyone can’t help but be affected by the brutal betrayal that occurred and the devious plans that have been executed for far longer than anyone anticipated.
And what that means for Creed and Sophia is life altering because not only will he sacrifice everything he came to be/is in order to protect the only woman he has ever loved but his willingness to do so will monumentally redefine both of their lives, separating them in ways they never thought possible and the fallout of what Creed decided with no input from Sophia will make her, once again, question who she is and where she fits in a life she would have never wanted for herself but now desperately wants to hold onto for the sake of her sanity and her heart.
Blood & Chaos, in my opinion, is more Creed’s story than Sophia’s due to the lengths he has/had to go to in order to protect what’s his. Readers witness the rebirth of the Ghost…of the Diavolo Sabella…of the merciless killer who takes vengeance as he deems fit. The monster that Creed, once again, becomes is the one that has always been festering at the surface, and now that it has a reason to be unleashed, no one/nothing will stop him from his deadly mission.
In Book Two, S.M. Soto takes readers deep into Creed’s old world, where the badass alpha male he is was born, and as Soto explores exactly what Creed has committed to by asking for help for Sophia, it’s clear that there’s only one way out for Creed, and it’s one that readers and Sophia do not want. But what that means for Creed and Sophia’s future, especially given all the new information and insights we receive as the story progresses, is very much in limbo, and I desperately need book three so I can see how everything is resolved – good, bad, or ugly.

You know all those times that the second book is a trilogy let you down? It definitely won’t happen with this one!!
Blood and Chaos starts off as strong as book 1 left as and just keeps getting stronger and stronger till the end! The author managed to blow my mind in every chapter with new revelations and secrets being unveiled in every page. I devoured the book in one sitting, it was just that good! My memory was a little rusty and didn’t remember everything from the first book but as soon as I started this one, all came back to mind and I just couldn’t stop reading. Even though this book also leave as with a cliffhanger, S. M. Soto is kind enough to release the next and last book in February
For all those of you, who just like myself were wondering about Creed’s background, this is the book that will answer all your questions. So many things about Creed’s personality and behavior makes sense after finishing the book.
If you’ve been waiting for this book get ready to be sucked even more in all the games and for those of you that haven’t started the trilogy yet, what are you waiting for?! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Oh my gosh yes, what a fabulous ride with Creed and Sophia. Thank goodness SM Soto is not going to make us wait long for their conclusion…..RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT?!?!
Blood and Chaos is Book 2 in the Chaos Series. We pick up where we left off in book one and SM Soto wastes no time jumping into the cat and mouse game we’ve come to love with Creed and Sophia. Nothing comes easy for these two and fighting for each another and the life they want together comes at a price.
The love between Sophia and Creed is a delicious combination of heat and mystery. It didn’t take much for SM Soto to get me to fall in love with the bad boy. Creed is dark, and his life has been anything but conventional, Sophia brings out the light in him and he’s not about to let her go. He will fight to the bitter end to ensure she’s safe and happy. But, her protection comes with a price.
Their journey is gritty, edgy, raw and emotional. If you are looking for a hearts and flowers romance, this is not it. Their romance is unconventional, but taking this journey with them has been nothing short of engaging and exciting. There’s action, excitement and at the heart of it all love.
Once again, we’re left completely on the edge wanting more for Creed and Sophia. What sacrifices will they have to make to be together. What obstacles will they encounter. What battles need to be won. I am impatiently waiting for the conclusion of Creed and Sophia’s story in Love and Chaos. This is a great roller coaster of a ride you don’t want to miss!
This is a continuation that picks up right where the first book titled Deception and Chaos left off, which was on quite a cliffhanger to say the least. The title of both of these intense books are quite accurate at describing what these amazing stories are filled with.
These stories are dark, brutal and not at all for the feint of heart. They definitely checked all of the boxes for me and left me reeling and dying to know what happens next! This author has a passion for the intense cliffhanger for sure.
Sophia and Creed’s story is one filled with pain and danger, but it’s also filled with a dark beauty unlike anyone else’s and this made it more special for me to read. My absolute favorite stories are the darkest ones out there and this author is quickly becoming one of my overall favorites and an automatic one click for me for sure!
I highly recommend reading Deception and Chaos by this author first before reading Blood and Chaos and I absolutely recommend reading everything by this amazingly talented and incredibly addictive author!
I reviewed this for Reviews from the Heart.

HOLY CRAP!!!! Loved this book!!! Creed is not a man to cross but he’s been crossed one too many times. They’re trying to take what means the most in his world. He’s going to rain blood down on those that dare touch what is his.
Sophie will do everything that she can to get out of the predicament that she is in. She tries to keep it all together but she can only take so much. She thinks she’s lost everything dear to her which just breaks her heart.
Creed makes decisions that breaks Sophie’s heart and she doesn’t understand why he made the decision that he did.
When the rain stops falling will they still be able to hold onto each other or will it all be for nothing?
Cannot wait for the next book!!
THIS BOOK… JUST WOW!
This is not an easy world to live in.
The characters are extremely relatable even though I have zero in common with them.
I love seeing the hard, badass version of Creed but then also how hopelessly in love he is with Sophia. We get a lot more backstory and info on him in this book and it was awesome to read.
Sophia is a freaking a trooper, saying she has been put through the ringer is dead wrong, she has been put through a freaking blender.
This is the 2nd installment in this trilogy, just heads up you totally need to start with the first book. Also, just like with the first book there is a CLIFFHANGER which makes me want to kick and scream until the next one comes out end of February.
Be prepared for more twists and turns and trust me lovelies, it is getting freaking good. The bad guys are oh so bad, the good guys aren’t so good, the hate is real, the crazy is off the charts, and the love is boundless.
Beyond ready for the 3rd book… please and thank you!
Holy smokes! Book two of this series is just as action packed and thrilling as the first. We pick up right where Deception and Chaos ended and it is a ride of your life. I was left with so many questions and a WTF look on my face. This series is by far shaping up to be one of the best series I have ever read. I love how Creed will fight for what he loves regardless of the pain it will cause him to protect Sophia. But the spunk of Sophia. With everything that she has gone through and she still bites back. When it comes to fighting for her and Creed to fighting against Finley and everything else thrown at her. There were some interesting twists and turns that occur in this book that will keep you on your toes and the ending of course will leave you dying for more! I am so super excited for this series to continue and I urge you to pick it up! It is twisted, suspenseful, passionate and so so much more!
When you read such an awesome book..Did you hold your breath with excitement? ‘Blood and Chaos’ was the next chapter that will blown your mind.. Creed and Sophia made it happened with a vengence.. Everything was written with loud bangs,no pretensious.. it was raw, boy I cant contain my feelings.. It was so good! I want more
WTF?? That’s all I could think of after reading the last word of this book. I refuse to believe that was the ending…..even though I know there is more coming soon!
Seriously, Blood & Chaos went non-stop from start to finish, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was heart-pounding, jaw-dropping, and filled with twists & turns I did not see coming. This story was truly everything I was hoping for after the first book in the series. Loved it!!
Please, please, please don’t read this book if you haven’t read book 1 (Deception & Chaos)…..or if you aren’t prepared for all of the bloodshed and violence throughout the story. Trust me – Sophia and Creed’s story (really, the entire series) is not for the faint of heart; but once you get through book one, you will want more. I’m proof of that.
SM Soto makes you cringe with anticipation with her second installment in the Chaos series featuring our beloved anti-hero Creed and the object of his affection, Sophia. You absolutely must read the first book, Deception and Chaos before reading this one due to all the history surrounding Sophia past.
In book two, Soto drags you in further into Creed’s chaotic world filled with blood, lust, and power. In this book you actually get to dive into Creed’s memories, thoughts and feelings making this book come alive as though it were a movie rather than something you were just reading. Soto’s vividly brutal descriptions, explanations and storytelling had me reading covering my eyes and wiggling in my seat with fascination. Creed’s journey is dark, bitter, and the only spark of light seems to be Sophia.
Sophia is one hell of a woman. Kidnapped, tortured, beaten to near death she’s been through more than the average twenty something, yet she still finds a way to be hopeful for a future through it all. Without a doubt Sophia is made for Creed.
I’m typically not the biggest fan of mafia, special teams, dark romances however Soto has proven that she has what it takes to engage her readers with her Chaos series. Despite my dislike for the brutality that comes with these type books, Soto made me a fan of how she portrayed these characters and the love that has no limits between all of them. I am excited to see if she has more in store for these avenging men and the women they save.
