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 … 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.

It’s really no surprise to me that this was yet another epic book from this author.
Yet again you’ll be on a rollercoaster of emotions not sure on what to think or feel.
This book will mess with your mind and not fix it by the time you’ve read the last page.
Every book by this author the characters get more complex and and the plot more twisted.
As usual it is a book not to be missed.
The mind fuck queen did it again! I swear Amo Jones is in a category all by herself. She breaks down standards while breaking your heart.
To say this book is amazing is doing Amo injustice. It was so much more than that! It was unlike anything you’ve read while still maintaining Amo’s flare. This world she’s created is so peculiar and so mesmerizing. Although I just read it, twice, because it was THAT good, I already want the next one. It’s one of those books that you hope you get to see make it to the big screen because it deserves to be seen.
Killian and Saskia have more than explosive chemistry, they were fire themselves. I’d be surprised if they weren’t the toughest characters Jones’ has ever written. Killian is and will always be number one for me. Hell, he, too, deserves his own category of heartbreaking awesomeness.
All I can say is that while you may THINK you know who Killian is, I can assure you do not. Killian is deeper than the earth’s crust and that boy is as sexy as sin. If she could bottle him up and send my way, I’d be eternally grateful. Now Saskia, man, she’s my type of heroine. She’s sassy asfffffff and I’m pretty sure she can take down anyone. Her level of depth is what always brings me backs to Amo’s books. It has such a powerful level of vulnerability that most authors can’t cultivate while Jones does it so effortlessly in ALL of her books.
Amo, as long as you keep writing, I swear you’ll always have me as a reader. Your mind is unlike anything I’ve ever come across and it displays that in how well you do your books. So thank you for writing this amazing book. I can’t wait to see what else you have with Midnight Mayhem and you’re amazing playlists. I look forward to that just as much as your books.
Holy Hell yall!! This book is absolutely phenomenal! I am obsessed with Midnight Mayhem and all the crazy and insanely fantastic characters that are what make it the magical Mayhem it is. This will be one of the BEST books you read this year and it was EVERYTHING!!
Now if you thought In Peace Lies Havoc was good you
better prepare yourself to be gobsmacked upside the head with this deliciously dark and devious book.
Saskia and Killian’s story is gritty and exciting. It’s angsty and full of secrets, lies and suspense.
“Do villains have hearts, baby?”
Killian the “Trickster” without a heart. Is drop dead gorgeous, he’s a playboy, and he gets who and what he wants. And he wants Saskia, although she’s not so easily swayed. He’s most definitely a bad boy you simultaneously love and hate, until you can’t help but just love and obsess over him. He’s hot and unapologetically rude, yet alpha AF.
I can’t help but to love all interactions between these two because they are just like kerosene and a match together, they are gonna ignite. Saskia was so perfectly matched for him, she gave as good as she got and their verbal spars and games backs and forth was the best forms of torture and like a sensual game all their own. GAAHH! It was so awesome my friends.
Saskia is the drop dead gorgeous girl that’s surrounded by mystery and intrigue. She is very different from the other girls in Mayhem and has tries her best to avoid getting caught in Killians sights. But no matter how many times she tried to resist him, their spark was too combustible, their lust too powerful, temptation much too great. Killian managed to embed himself deep under her skin.
“Killian is filthy, but I’ve been bathing in him for so long, that when I do walk away, I’ll be doing so with remnants of his poison pumping through my veins.”
Saskia’s history starts unfolding in a web of secrets and lies. It’s stunning and suspenseful and shocking. I couldn’t figure out what was happening and who knew what was happening or who didn’t it was fantastic.
I legit could put this book down. Amo Jones is a master storyteller and I’m in awe at her mesmerizing attention to details. With the combination of all the amazing characters, the traveling carnival locations, and constant engaging storyline, I swear I could feel, smell and hear the sights of the shows. I was transported into this chaotically magical world she created and I never wanted to leave. I can only hope she will continue to go through everyone currently in Midnight Mayhem and then add more acts. So.It.Never.Ends!!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!

Your heart rate will go patter patter, but that’s cause this is hot and suspenseful their chemistry is of the chain flammable! I mean it has a few semi-sweet moments, but mostly you are going to get back and forth banter, heat, frustration, angst. All the freakin amazingness. I FLOVE!
-The fact that they fought like hades the way they did for so long made this so much hotter when they give it up . HOLY god!! So many times I didn’t know if they were about to fight or well…you know !
Cliffhanger Warning-No Cliffy Baby!! But more books are on the way for Midnight Mayhem. Hells yeah!
Trigger Warning-This is a dark romance and does have scenes of flashbacks/dreams, cruelty and some violence. Most scenes are not overly graphic or anything. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.
Bow down to the queen of all things dark and twisty! In Fury Lies Mischief is wrought with tension and chemistry, and packed with twist after twist you won’t see coming! Amo Jones pens the ultimate enemies to lovers between Saskia and Killian. The push and pull was captivating and utterly delicious!
Killian’s character is positively magnetic, and I simply couldn’t get enough. He was so possessive and extra alpha with a big does of games and mischief. Saskia was absolutely to die for, and I loved her from the very first pages. The deeper we get into Midnight Mayhem, the darker and twistier things get! Get ready to be reading on the edge of your seat!
Fury + Mischief = Magic! 5 stars
Holy smokes, this Midnight Mayhem world and characters were enthralling from the first page. Saskia and Killian were full of tension and push/pull at first, but when they finally let go of the tension it was fire! Killian was a trickster, a creator of mischief, but underneath that exterior lies fury and darkness, and I was here for it! I wanted to strangle/hate him then love him, just like Saskia! There was also a time he made me swoon, and my heart melted. Saskia challenged him and didn’t fall at his feet. He loved that and so did I! But there was mystery surrounding who Saskia really is. Once the truths started to be revealed, puzzles pieces locked into place, twists occurred that shocked me, I was riveted until the last page. This story, world and characters that was magical, unique, enthralling, emotional and brilliant that I loved and didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend this book and series.
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review.*
Another twisted, mind blowing read by Amo Jones. Loved reading about Killian and Sasika.
Hellfire! This Trixster stole my heart. In a tug of war throughout the book, I loved Killian in the end. This is a wicked tale told in the fashion only Amo Jones can do. The dual point of view makes for a perfectly twisted ride.
Midnight Mayhem is my perfect fantasy with each bad boy in a completely different realm of imagination.
Saskia is one badass heroine. She is also a bit twisted and never backed down! I loved her sass!!
This book tends to get a bit dark, fair warning.
This was a 5+ Star read for me!
Oh holy hell!!! I am astounded by how brilliant In Fury Lies Mischief (Midnight Mayhem: Book II)
5 Stars for me!
Where do I begin with? Let’s start with the author. Wow wow wow! Amo Jones you have outdone yourself with this one. This wild ride was incredibly well written and crafted by that chaotic brain of yours. No one could and can write the way you do, and with all honesty, I am even more of a fan after finishing IFLM.
Moving on to the book itself, all I can say is. No one writes chaos and dark romance the way Amo Jones does. This book is not for the faint of heart or the ones who don’t enjoy a dark romance story but if you do, then this most definitely the book for you.
Killian Cornelii oh my lort! He is a delicious wolf wrapped up in a mischievous, naughty and delightful package. He is the Trickster of my heart and well, let’s say I don’t regret giving him my soul, now and never.
Saskia Royal, she is a mystery for us to unfold and enjoy it while we do it. That’s all I will say about them, you deserve to enjoy their story as much as possible without knowing what will happen.
Hands down Amo’s best book! Can’t wait to see what she has prepared for us this year, buckle the hell up!!! She is out for our souls.
Killian and Saskia are on fire!!! Lana~White Hot Reads
As we go back into the world of Midnight Mayhem, we learn more about the Trickster and Little Dragon. Like in all Amo books, there is angst, sexual gratification, lust, hard times and love. These two have an unbreakable bond even when they don’t realize yet. I loved that Amo throws in our Elite Kings in a well and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
“I was built for war, not for love. I don’t want to break people. I want them already broken.”
In Fury Lies Mischief is deliciously dark. Edgy. Transfixing. And Amo Jones’ world of Midnight Mayhem continues to be unique, boundary pushing, but also one full of gripping emotions. I can’t help finding myself swept up in the beautiful madness of it all.
So, how do I even begin to describe my love for this book?! It kept me up well into the night-which I consider BIG coming from someone who cherishes her sleep…haha.
I’ve come to love all of Amo’s heroes; however, Killian? In all his dark and dangerous glory, has become one of my favorites. He’s intense and unrelenting when it comes to any and every aspect of his life. That includes Saskia. Someone who possessed all the qualities I’ve come to look for in a heroine. Strong and gives as good as she gets–especially when it comes to a new world, and being placed in the crosshair of Killian.
And these two on a page together GAVE ME LIFE! The push and pull, the tension, and even when they’re swallowed by the darkest shadows of “hate,” their chemistry is undeniable.
Yet again, Amo Jones has crafted a twisty, mind blowing, imaginative story I absolutely adore. If you enjoy dark, complex, or even broody anti-heroes, I highly recommend this series and book!
*Each book in the Midnight Mayhem series can be read as a standalone…but why would you want to skip?!
Amo Jones killed it with In Fury Lies Mischief. I loved Killian since the first book and if it was even possible I fell even more in love with his character. Killian “Trickster” is unapologetic about who he is. He is extremely loyal and will defend those he loves to the very end. He just doesn’t fall in love, that is until Saskia “Sass” came into the picture. Saskia, the new broody chic that joined Mayhem. The girl is a baddie and her act involves fire, you can’t get more bad ass than that!! But she is hiding something and Killian is determined to figure it out what it is. Those two have such a unique connection with each other that you slowly start to unravel with each page.
Amo always takes you on a journey with her books that lets you think outside of this world. Midnight Mayhem is magical, fire and full of mischief and I am here for the show!!
Being back in the Midnight Mayhem world felt like coming home, it was as if I had never left. I had this giddy level of excitement for the first 40% of this book, I just could not put it down!
Together Saskia and Killian drew me deeper into the world of Mayhem, their chemistry is electric and there will never be any doubt in my mind these two we born to torment each other, to love each other, to break and rebuild each other.
In Fury Lies Mischief is about so much more than Killian and Saskia though. The underlying plot holds strong and we dive deeper into the Kiznitch world. War is coming and who is going to win when darkness swallows both sides whole? I loved getting to see more of Kyrin this time, how his story is unfolding, how he hides behind his dark and the girl that is going match his kind of crazy already has me spellbound, I want more!
Amo has crafted a magnificent world in Midnight Mayhem. Reading the first performance of the book gave me goosebumps, I was that taken away with how Amo wrote the scenes. It was like I was literally there – I played the music as I read the performance scenes and everything comes to life, its’s so surreal. In Fury Lies Mischief is a novel that seeps sensuality, violence, mysticism and a visceral chaos that holds you captive. The way Amo weaves romance into this world whilst maintaining that anti hero quality of her Male characters is amazing. Her heroines are never weak, they are empowered, they thrive, they overcome adversity and rise from the ashes stronger than ever to stand side by side next to the men that feed their souls.
I challenge anyone to not fall down the rabbit hole that is Midnight Mayhem and come out the other side anything but a fan! Each book in this series just blows me away and they only get better!
I …. This…. Well… what ????? I wanted to write a review maybe… ? but it looks that my mind is not READY!!!! Gahhh my blood just changed in black, hot lava, I think ???? AND my poor bookish soul just has been sucked by Midnight Mayhem without any warning!
In Fury Lies Mischef is MINDBLOWING.
In Fury Lies Mischef is INTENSE.
In Fury Lies Mischef is DIRTY.
In Fury Lies Mischef is R.A.W.
In Fury Lies Mischef is just Mrs. AMO JONES’ newest BABY – do I need to add here MORE? This book is like ride, without buckle up. With every next breath You not know if it wasn’t Your last one.
I’m not sure where and how Mrs. Jones takes her inspiration… where she find Her muses, but for sure all this things must be…. so not-usually, soooooo so uniqe. Every word, every sentence, every paige is like journey into the unknown. In Fury Lies Mischef keept me literally standing in the line!!!

I fell in love with Killian in IPLH, and man was he more than what I envisioned. My little black heart was here for it
This book. I have no words to describe the awesomeness that IFLM is.
I love Amo dare I say she’s my favorite author because she continuously grows and pushes boundaries. Kills and Saskia were magic. Their chemistry and banter kept me glued to my kindle. And man was that chemistry EXPLOSIVE! The twists and turns kept me up all night, and I regret NOTHING.

FIVE INCREDIBLE STARS for Saskia and Killian !!!
Once again I fell in love with Amo’s book and I absolutely got addicted to it!
I became a fan of Amo’s writing after I’ve read “In Peace Lies Havoc” the first book from “Midnight Mayhem” which is a unique story with an interesting storyline.
That was the reason why I had really high expectations of the second book.
And you know what?!
Amo didn’t do just a good job…
She did an unbelievable job!
I don’t remember when was the last time I highlighted almost every sentence in the book.
There are so many beautiful and meaningful quotes.
“In Fury Lies Mischief” is an extremely dark romance book with a lot of angst, with the main characters that you’ll love them and you’ll want to that their story never ends.
This book will completely occupy your time and after you finish it…
…you’ll want more.
I wanted more…
…because it was epic.
Saskia and Killian are a perfectly imperfect couple.
I love their fire from the beginning book until the last word in the book.
Their chemistry is explosive and rare.
They were fighting each other.
They didn’t like each other.
But, deep down in both of them, they truly care about each other.
And after all, they love each other in the way that they only know.
And that’s means with a lot of passion.
Saskia is a female character who hides a lot of things. But, the thing about it is that she isn’t conscious of them.
I love her character and her personality.
I felt really sorry when I found out about her past and what she went through.
But, no matter what, she is a fighter and most inspired female character I met lately in books.
Killian is definitely my favorite book boyfriend and I really have a crush on him.
At first, he seems heartless like he doesn’t care about anything only about himself.
But, that is just the mask he was wearing for a long time.
He is much more.
The person who will do anything for the person he cares about, even that means to kill someone.
His protective attitude for Saskia is everything.
It truly melted my heart.
Saskia and Killian’s book definitely became my new favorite book by Amo Jones!
If you loved “In Peace Lies Havoc”, the first book from this series and you love dark romance books, then you MUST TO READ THIS BOOK!!!
I have come to absolutely love the world of Midnight Mayhem and the way its characters and their stories weave themselves around my heart. In Fury Lies Mischief dove right back into that world and took me on a dark, wild, and twisted ride that consumed me from the beginning.
After the first book in this series I foolishly thought I knew who Killian was but he quickly proved me wrong. There was so many more hidden layers behind his Trickster’s mask that there was no way I could do anything but completely love him. Saskia was not to be left behind with the way she ensnared me with her beautiful fierceness and guarded heart. These two together were explosive and the fire they generated threatened to consume anything that came near. The intense way these two were drawn together and the fiery way they danced around one another held me riveted until the very end.
The mystical, dark, and secretive world of Midnight Mayhem in which these phenomenal characters exist is one I am always thrilled to visit and In Fury Lies Mischief completely blew me away. I can only imagine what’s in store next for the Brothers of Kiznitch but one things for certain I’ll be eagerly awaiting with an express ticket for the next wild ride!
In Fury Lies Mischief is the second book in the Midnight Mayhem series, starting with In Pea Lies Havoc. I completely loved the first book and I knew that Amo Jones wouldn’t disappoint with the second one and I also couldn’t wait to read it and was lucky enough to receive an ARC and read it before its official release (which is today, March 10). I must say, I was a little sorry that this wouldn’t be a continuation of Dove ( a.k.a. Persephone) and King because I loved their story so much. But in the end… Not gonna lie, I loved Saskia and Killian’s story as well.
Their story was different but IFLM still has this dark vibe we know and love from Amo Jones. I love the way she continues to build the amazing Midnight Mayhem world that started with In Peace Lies Havoc. In all Amo Jone’s fashion, there were some (many :DD) twists and turns that made my mind spin. The book discovered a new layer of darkness and love, it was really admirable how she kind of expanded/added some things to the world.
I think In Fury Lies Mischief was more focused on the side characters (don’t worry, Kill and Saskia still got plenty of room) and the dynamics between them – that also changed/ evolved throughout the book. I got to know them more and that led to changing my opinions on some characters.
Not only I got to know more of the side characters but thanks to this book being focused on Killian and Saskia I got to know more of them as well. Kill is, as you probably know, the Trickster, he has faces on top of faces. I absolutely loved that Kill wasn’t the only dark hero of this story. In fact, you could say it has two villains…

I’m always impressed with Amo Jones’ writing and storytelling. I get so lost in her words that I forget I’m reading and feel as though the word is alive in my mind. That’s how good Amo Jones is. She makes you feel like the world you create in your mind, with her words, is real. I’m drawn in and captivated time and time again. Killian and Saskia are quite the pair! They are dark and devious and UN-STOP-ABLE!! Killian might be my absolute favorite Amo Jones leading man EVER, like EVER, EVER! That’s insane for me to think, let alone write out for others to see! He is more than I expected… I loved that he wasn’t just dark and dangerous but he offered Saskia his heart and he gave her words that were actually swoon-worthy! It really made her books cross over into the OMG, I NEED TO LIVE HERE!!!
If you’ve never read Amo Jones before, start with this series. This is a book two and it is a standalone but you’d be missing out on King. Don’t miss out on King. Start there. Love it. Then come here and visit me because I’ll still be living here in this magical and sensual world where it just PULSES with energy. Yeah, I think that word is exactly it, ENERGY! I feel it in between these pages. Add in the electric chemistry between these characters. Good Lord, these two seemed absolutely combustible together! They meet in the middle with teeth and blood and it seems so incredibly sexy! I just wanted more! I can’t wait for more!!!
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.
Amo hitted that exact button in the dark side of my heart with this dark romance book. In Fury Lies Mischief owns me totally and I don’t have enough. It’s amazed me, shocked me, entertained me and was a little bit different than previous one. More edgy, angsty, filthy and full of anticipation with jaw dropping moments. Amo Jones has a way of surprising and playing with readers emotions in unexpected ways.
This story was enemies to lovers dark romance at its best and I’m a sucker for that kind of stories.
Killian and Saskia were like strong addiction to each other. They were challenging one another and that’s what made me seat on emotional edge all the time. Their scorching chemistry was so strong felt like magnetic invisible force was pulling them together. Their banter, their games, I loved everything about them.
Killian is malicious badass and trickster, but he will seduce you with one smirk on his handsome face . He makes me love to hate him or hate to love him at the same time. I didn’t decide yet which way I feel about him, but he evokes my deepest emotions. Saskia character and her past is a mystery during the whole book, but what we know is that she’s very talented and strong heroine. She was matched perfectly for Kill. She could fight him and has ability to play his games either.
During their journey new secrets are being revealed and piece by piece the reader can discover the monsters laying inside their souls.
As always in Amo’s world, it won’t be light and romantic. I don’t know whether you are, or not ready for this but the author gives us more than just the dark romance. She gave us story full of twists and turns that it will be hard to put down a book for one moment. There is also a change of scenery and very accurate descriptions of the places where we can well imagine and lose ourselves in Midnight Mayhem world.
Just as before in In Peace Lies Havoc, Amo described mesmerizing and captivating Midnight Mayhem shows where main and secondary characters once again impressed me with their performance and I was smitten again with her ability to create such an outstanding story.
ARC generously provided by author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Amo Jones
. . . .
I stayed up late last night to finish this because I could not put it down!!! I loved Killian (aka Trickster) from IPLH and now I love him even more!!! We kept seeing bits and pieces of him potentially having a soul or being able to care about people and we saw that develop inside of him in this book! He is the definition of none fucks given but you get glimpses of him where you thing there is something else buried deep DEEP down. You just want to keep peeling back layers to see what you find.
’ , . …
Killian is hot all on his own but his chemistry with Saskia is SCORCHING! I loved the push and pull between them, the raw emotions and attraction that they had for one another.
, ’ , , ’ .
I also loved that Saskia didn’t just give into his shit. She continued to push him away while he pursued her. While she couldn’t help but notice how undeniably sexy he is, she didn’t let his looks control her emotions. If she was ever driven by anything when it came to him it was more because of their bond that she just couldn’t figure out. They were completely drawn to each other without knowing why or how.
’ ’ , .
Neither one of them had to give up pieces of who they were for the other. They accepted each other for who and what they were… broken and damaged. But damage recognizes damage, craves it even. And these two certainly craved each other.
’ . , , ’ . ’ … ’ .
I also appreciated the way that body image and insecurities were handled. You never really know how someone feels about themselves. Even the most beautiful people can be insecure. Here you had a girl that oozed sex appeal and confidence but constantly questioned if she looked good enough. Saskia’s struggle with self confidence showed us that some people are just better at hiding their insecurities than others.
’ , . .
Finally, I enjoyed learning more about the backstory for Midnight Mayhem and Patience, as well as with the other Brothers. There were definitely some big surprises along the way. Amo fed you breadcrumbs making you think one way and then BAM big reveal happens! Plus there was again a little teaser at the end of the book for whoever is coming!
Kyrin’s book is up next and I cannot wait to get inside of his head!!!
