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.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I wanted Killian’s book immediately after I finished King’s. I loved him in the first book. I was blown away Saskia. I love that these books are so detailed. You can imagine every place. From the plantations to the tents, you can see it happening. I love that these boys go down hard for their ladies. So far our ladies have been perfectly matched.
I love that Saskia sees him. “His eyes sparkle in mischief. That’s Killian. Mischief. Only his mischief is a ploy to distract you, because below that surface lies fury.”
I loved that Killian sees her. “Your eyes tell the explicit story that your soul tries to hide.”
This series is truly amazing. The writing all the back stories to the characters is truly inspired. The back stories to all the characters, and the manipulation of it all was mind bending.
4.5 stars
This second book in the Midnight Mayhem series goes up and beyond. It is definitely not short of dark, brooding and broken souls as well as a strong minded heroine. Full of twists and turns that keep your mind reeling, it spellbinds your mind to its pages. In Fury Lies Mischief is thrilling, sexy and entertaining. Simply said, it’s hauntingly beautiful!
In Fury Lies Mischief by Amo Jones is fantastic. It is an epic mind game. The story is edgy, sexy, and captivating. I loved King’s story in book 1 but Killian is another level.
This book focuses on Killian and Saskia. I love these characters. Killian is sexy, sarcastic, manipulative, dangerous and arrogant. He’s not the boy next door, but he is deliciously addictive. The kind of guy your mother warns you about. The one you should stay away from but cannot. He has an attitude and a menacing quality but he is also protective and possessive. Did I mention sexy? Saskia is beautiful, smart and talented. She keeps to herself. Try as she might, she can’t fight the attraction to Killian, and honestly, who’d want to?
Their push/pull is intense. Their interactions are heated. Their chemistry is undeniable. They are explosive and passionate but they have issues. Secrets and lies, misunderstandings and miscommunication abound.
Their story is a rollercoaster ride filled with jaw dropping twists and turns I did not see coming. Author Amo Jones delivers another fascinating story that is seductive, dramatic, gritty and raw. Highly recommend this book and this series.

GAHHHH! I can’t decide if I love King or Killian more, but honestly I think with Killian’s sinister ways and his “don’t give a f*ck” attitude is what got me to like him a smidge more than King. He was certainly a tough egg to crack, always keeping those walls so damn high that it was hard to break them down.
Saskia knew that getting close to Killian was a bad idea but he had a pull on her that she just couldn’t deny getting close to him. He seemed to hypnotize her with his wicked ways and it was hard for her to just ignore and stay away from the trickster.
This story definitely was worth the freaking wait! Midnight Mayhem is full of surprises that will leave you leaping off your chair almost chanting “I want more”! Amo Jones is a mastermind when it comes to her characters and I certainly can’t wait to see what she’ll have to tell us about the rest of these hot, sexy, gorgeous guys!
The queen does it again. I bow down to how twisted, messed up, and freaking amazing Amo’s brain is. I would love to see what goes through her head for just an hour. The stories that she comes up with blow me away time and time again. The detail in her books are beyond any other author I read.
This is the story of Killian and Saskia. Killian is not an easy man to love by any stretch of the imagination. He is a god among men in the town of Kiznitch, and the Midnight Mayhem Circus. Saskia is a surprise to everyone whens he comes on as part of Perse’s group. She can do amazing things with her body that hypnotizes all the players. However, there is a secret in her past that the books spends exploring. The detail that Jones puts into her writing paints a vivid picture for the reader. I will always keep coming back for more when it comes to her books. If you like twisted, crazy, on the edge, and amazing visualization Jones’ books are for you!
Midnight Mayhem is back in a big way! Killian and Saskia’s story brings us back to their crazy world and so many more secrets are unveiled. It’s fabulous, dark and everything you hoped for. I loved it plain and simple and cannot wait for the next book!
In Fury Lies Mischief (Midnight Mayhem #2)
When I read In Peace Lies Havoc, I knew I needed to know what Killian Corinelli was all about. He didn’t disappoint. Killian’s leading lady, Saskia Royal, wasn’t a damsel in distress. She knew how to play the game and how to play it well. I loved the back and forth banter between the characters, not just Saskia and Killian, but the Kniznitch brothers. The brothers… oh how they got on each others last nerve but they were there for one another. The bond they had was defintiely strong. There were moments throughout the story that I jumped up and down—mainly because of the cameos of previous characters. If you read the Elite Kings, you might have a clue what I’m talking about. I’m interested to see how the author will go about doing Kyrin’s book. He is definitely an odd character and that is saying something because all the brothers are out of the ordinary.
Oh wow
What a book this was, it grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go until the last page. Amo sure knows how to write a book that will keep you craving for more.
This book was everything and more than I expected this one is packed with it all a rollercoaster of a ride of emotions while reading. characters you just can’t help but fall love with even if you didn’t like them to start with.
Amo has a way of making you fall for them, this book is full of twists and turns!! I can’t wait for the next book in the series
In Fury Lies Mischief is all sorts of crazy and Amo takes you on a journey that is completely different from what would happen in your everyday life lol. okay, i have to admit. 30% in i thought this was gonna be the same as IPLH. but the plot eventually thickens and the amount of surprises we get in this book totally caught me off guard. we get a mixture of everything – the dark romance, the edgy, angst-filled secrets, and the crazy, mind blowing events.
i freaking love saskia. she really didn’t take shit from anyone and i just love her sassiness towards everyone and killian. saskia was a mystery worth revealing because it made me love her even more! ooh and killian. he’s dangerous and definitely someone you don’t wanna play games with, but the way he loves saskia is a whole different level.
killian and saskia is definitely a couple you wouldn’t see together. but the amount of intense chemistry and their history, you can see why they are. i hated how much miscommunication they had with each other, but i freaking love their banter.
“Our souls recognized each other when my memories did not. Maybe that’s why it’s called soulmates, because they see each other even when the human eye cannot. ”
the brothers of kiznitch are so captivating and i’m sooo addicted to them!!! i’m drawn to these bad ass characters that Amo creates, that i simply can’t get enough of them. midnight mayhem is a vibe where these characters consume you and i’m so happy we get more.

Overall Rating – +
This world is one I never want to leave. Amo paints such a vivid picture with her words you can’t help but revel in Midnight Mayhem, and I honestly didn’t want this book to end.
This is book two in the ‘Midnight Mayhem’ series and can be read as a standalone but I would read book one so you don’t miss out on the start of the deliciousness of the brothers of Kiznitch!
IFLM is the story of Sass and Killian. Killian always intrigued me from book one and you just knew he would be something else! Amo really stepped it up with his character though, he was bigger and better than the alphas before him, he was pure alpha, owning who he was without apology and his presence just jumped out the pages. He may even have swooped into first place of Amo’s men, sorry Bishop!
Sass is the perfect heroine to go up against Killian. Her silent ways intrigued him so much she pulled him right into her orbit and didn’t let go, even when they both didn’t know it. I liked her boldness and how she stood up to Killian, she was one feisty heroine who I secretly have a girl crush on! I mean, she can breathe fire!
The story is so detailed with a few jaw-dropping moments and spoke to my dark soul in every way. It’s one of the things I love about Amo’s writing, she sets the scene so vividly it leaves no room to question what’s going on and you can feel yourself there in the moment and as the story unfolds you can’t help but be pulled in by the mystery and suspense of what’s to come.
Overall this was an amazing read that captured my mind from the very first chapter. The push and pull between Killian and Sass was electric and the anticipation for what was to come crackled from the pages and I’m already looking forward to what’s next in Midnight Mayhem world!

***5 ‘Your Eyes Tell The Explicit Story That Your Soul Tries To Hide’ Stars***
What a way to start things off!
I knew going in that this book would end up mind fucking me…I mean, it is Amo Jones and she never fails to deliver on that, BUT I didn’t expect to be all in based on the first sentence of the book.
THAT opening line hooked me and I was done. That #workthing took a backseat to Killian and Saskia and I have no regrets. These two took me on one hell of a ride and left me NEEDING more of them and the Midnight Mayhem family as a whole.
I adored Saskia and Killian. Saskia pulled me in from the start. I loved her fire, her strength and her compassion. She owned all that she was, even when she wasn’t so sure of herself. Killian…It’s hard not to love the Trickster ~ heart or no heart. His loyalty to those he calls his own was what drew me to him. He may have been a bastard at times, but he cared, even when he didn’t want to.
Their journey to their HEA was intense in every way ~ the good, the bad and the ugly ~ but even when the push/pull got frustrating, I was rooting for them because they just fit. The chemistry between them was undeniable and I loved how the balance of power between them stayed pretty even throughout. They both gave as good as they got and I really liked where things were between them in the end.
I gotta say I loved the overall vibe of IFLM. While it is dark, real dark at times, there was a…for lack of a better word…playfulness woven into it that set it apart from IPLH while still keeping it on the same level. The twists in this one were pretty epic ~ I didn’t see any of that coming at all ~ but made total sense. And as for the crew, I loved hanging out with all of them and seeing how their relationships are evolving. And while Keaton is the one that fascinates me the most, I cannot wait to get my hands on Kyrian’s book!

5 BLACK HEART STARS!! Oh my goodness….I am addicted to this series, it is so different from the normal books we read. I did not want this book to end. Killian….I need this beautiful beast of a man….how he puts a smile on my face. Killian and Sass’s story will keep you flipping pages and loving every minute of it. Amo Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors….I know to 1-Click all her books.
In Fury Lies Mischief is undoubtedly the best story by Amo Jones till date . The depth of storyline and characters. The emotions messing my heart and soul. Pure addictive, depraved and sensational chemistry. If you think Amo Jones played games with your heart before, you are not even ready for In Fury Lies Mischief. Because this is a new level of dark and twisted perfection from the queen of angst!
You should read the first book, In Peace Lies Havoc to fully grasp this mysterious world of Midnight Mayhem and Brothers of Kiznitch. They are not an entertainment show. They definitely are not a circus. They are a group of powerful and sinister people without conventional sense of moral boundaries. They are bound by loyalty. The brothers would kill and die for family. And the exact reason for Killian to not trust Saskia aka Sass. She is the dancer and the fire bender. But she had secrets she herself doesn’t know and it’s Killian’s duty to unveil them. Unless he gets unravelled by the beauty first. The danger from is coming and they have to face some brutal truths. Now it will either break them or make them one.
Killian. Killian. Killian. This guy has claimed spot of my top Amo Jones hero without much effort. Yes he is everything that signifies Midnight Mayhem. He is arrogant, rude, ruthless, emotionally unavailable, infuriating and cocky to the infinity. He doesn’t think twice before running blood stained and sick errands. His fury is barely restrained nuclear bomb. But at the same time, he is oddly swoonworthy and sweet. I cannot even explain how the two sides coexist and blend perfectly. Like I want to slap him and then cry for his softness at the same time. Saskia is another brilliant Amo Jones creation. She always writes these fierce female leads who are inspiring like hell. Take Sass. Her mind was possessed, broken and invaded. Her body was abused and ruined. She has been through heartbreaking and devastating tortures. And still she stands strong and proud, using her art as a weapon. She still loves unconditionally and can be a bada$$ when people try to hurt her loved ones. Killian and Saskia has some unique bond deep in their soul. They are not so called normal people. Means they pull hard and push harder. They try to deny obvious emotions and erect walls against emotions unless the other person bulldozed it. They have insane chemistry that ripped my heart out and set my body on fire. The sex is filthy, primal, possessive, hungry and imperfect explosions.They are equals and they stand side by side while fighting own demons and other monsters.
In Fury Lies Mischief by Amo Jones is a brutally honest dark romance. The characters are depraved with cracks and broken edges. The emotions are raw and these hurt so good! The storyline kept me on the edge of suspense and mystery till the very last line. I may have finished the story, but the story is not finished with me. I am still lost somewhere in the shadowed, mesmerising and enthralling world of Midnight Mayhem seeking my next high like an Amo Jones addict!
Received ARC for honest review
I thought I loved the first book, but this book had so much more. Kill and Sass had me enthralled from the first page, and I couldn’t get enough of them.
Kill is such a mystery. He puts up this front, but underneath you can tell he is just wanting to have that bond with someone.
Sass is so genuine, but feels like she has a lot of gaps in her memory. She isn’t going to let anyone get to her, and she is going to protect herself at all costs.
These two together are explosive. They have the chemistry and pull that cannot be denied, but the secrets and twists keep them at arms length.
I love this world that Amo has created, and I am so excited to see what happens next. The secondary characters play such a big part of these books, and they all have so many more secrets to expose!

“He bathes in the presence of my demons, teasing them with his stupid grin.”
Intense and seductive, we are whisked away to the world of Mayhem once again, and I was up until 4am this morning with a ridiculous grin on my face, fist bumping the air in sheer appreciation. Killian is darkly sexy, hotness personified, bigger than life, and harder to catch. Once his target is set on Saskia, the games begin, and my little black heart burst with joy at their banter, their power struggle, the swirling animal magnetism that neither could deny and were crushed together powerless to stop it. I melt clear to the floor while reading their scenes, my kindle igniting to almost astonishing temperatures. The mystery unraveled, sides were taken, pasts were revealed, and the true test of the relationship is pushed to it’s limits. Dazzling, engaging, sinfully erotic, and deviously addictive, I never wanted it to end. They were a match made in a twisted hell on Earth and I loved every second!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!
“Killian is the kind of wild you want to run away with, not cage. He’s an untamed animal, turbulent and vicious.”
~~~Erika, Book Haven Book Blog
Once again, Amo Jones gives us a crazy unique ride with twists and turns that will drop your jaw and head spin. We are thrown right back into the Midnight Mayhem and oh does Jones outdo herself with this one. You thought the first book was a ride, In Fury Lies Mischief takes it to a whole new level. Killian was one that intrigued me from the start. He had this depth to him that made you want to pull the layers away to find out what makes him tick. Then throw Saskia into his world and the layers start to fall and all the things come throwing at them. New parts of the history of Kiznitch is exposed and it is literally a mind blown!
I think what I love about Jones’ books is the complexity of them. The depth that is written into these stories, especially this one, leaves you completely breathless. The level of research and description that is in this story flows amazingly. The character build. The storyline. Absolutely everything. Honestly it is really hard to write a review without dropping spoilers. I can say that the pull between Killian and Saskia is spellbinding. What unfolds between these two will leave you absolutely speechless. It is a must read. Just like all of Jones’ other books.
Holy Fire Ball! You never attended a “circus” like this!!! The midnight mayhem crew is back! Are you ready to fall for Killian “Trickster” Cornelli? He has no issues getting any girl to drop to her knees but Saskia Royal is different. She wants nothing to do with him and he likes that challenge. The Kiznitch Families might run them all but is that why Saskia keeps to herself? What does is she hiding and why was she brought to the midnight mayhem 3 month ago? Can this trickster and his “little dragon” fight the pull towards each other? “There are too many people who would rather torment you with your weakness, than acknowledge you for your triumphs.” With so many secrets held within the brotherhood what are they hiding now? This is another twisted, romantic suspense that is hard to review without spoiling anything. This is the second book in this stand-alone series of the Midnight Mayhem. You’ll get more lies, twists, secrets, crazy ADULT circus acts, passion, a fire bender and of course Killian! Definitely a wild and naughty ride you won’t soon forget! Told in dual POV

In Fury Lies Mischief, Book 2 in the Midnight Mayhem Series is easily one of the best works from the dark and deliciously sinful mind of Amo Jones. Gripping and riddled with shocking twists this story is sure to leave readers with a serious book hangover.
In Fury Lies Mischief is jarring and riveting. From the first page to the last it is a whirlwind journey full of twisted mystery, sinister revelations and explosive chemistry!
Amo Jones is no stranger to shocking dark romance. Her stories are always well developed and carry an ominous undertone that sucks readers in and holds them captured to the very end, which is something I love about her storytelling and writing.
Killian is the Trickster. He’s devilishly handsome and he knows it. Armed with the power to manipulate the mind, he’s destructive and powerful. He’s always about pushing limits.
Saskia is seemingly innocent. She’s a newer recruit to the Midnight Mayhem and part of Perse’s dance performance. Armed with a beautiful face and flawless physique, she’s lethal without evening knowing it. She’s strong and gifted but her life is shrouded in mystery. She is bound and determined to fight back when tested.
These two together are the perfect storm. The push and pull between them is intense and palpable. The chemistry between them ignites the pages. They bring out the bad and good in each other. Literally the perfect duo.
This story is everything we love about Amo Jones. The story is dark and full of twists that keep us enthralled throughout the story. The character development is insanely good, and you see overall growth of characters throughout. The story itself is always unpredictable and leads you further into the mayhem of their world.
Amo just continues to blow us readers away with her creativity. It’s gritty and messed up at times but the stories are just so enthralling. I’ve never read anyone else like her. I can’t wait to see what other revelations unravel within this twisted world.
Top 2020 Read!!!!!!!
Any time an Amo Jones book hits my kindle I get butterflies in my tummy, both nervous and excited. Why? Because Amo’s writing is so unpredictable, her worlds captivating, and you never know where she is going to take you with her words.
In Fury Lies Mischief was no exception.
“I’ve always loved my girls a little fucking damaged, that way when I inflict more pain on them, they’d be used to it.”
Killian. Dark, broody, trickster, complicated and oh so mine!
I love him. This is what I love about Amo’s heroes. They are always damaged, complicated and keep you on your toes. They are reckless and unpredictable and that’s exactly what the brothers of Kiznitch are.
“Killian is the trickster of them all. He plays with people’s minds for shits and giggles, without any care of what that would do to the person’s life.”
Saskia is his perfect heroine. She pushes him, tests him but also soothes him.
The Midnight Mayhem world is one that draws me in, captivates me and leaves me wanting more. The scenes where they perform always amaze me because the way Amo describes it happening, makes me feel as though I am a part of the show.
Another outstanding story with twists and turns that will keep you flipping pages.
The Midnight Mayhem Series is one of the most unique book worlds that I have ever read… there are so many twists and turns, secrets, deep seeded family histories, magic and mystical elements and each book has an on-of-kind story line that you just won’t see coming.
Killian and Saskia were complicated… Their story was so different from the first couple in this series and I am 150% here for it. These two were each other’s perfect match… they challenge each other, push each other and their story will leave you breathless. Sass & Killian… WOWZA! Like moths to a flame they were drawn to each other; an unexplainable yet undeniable connection. But their journey is full of darkness, with so many layers and details and just when you think you’ve figured it out… well let’s just say your mind will be blown!
From the very first page of this book I was instantly captivated by this uniquely dark and mysterious book world once again… full of brotherhood, loyalty, family, deep connections & love. I am absolutely enamored by all thing Brothers of Kiznitch/Midnight Mayhem and I cannot wait to see where Amo Jones takes us next.
