My name is Dove Hendry.Mine is Kingston Axton.I was captured by darkness.She has always been ours… 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 my the monster that tormented me.
And maybe lived under your 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…

Amo is a master when it comes to creating these crazy worlds. Its like she sees into our souls and pulls out tiny slivers of our deepest, darkest fantasies then sews all the pieces together creating something new, yet familiar. She is a true artist. Back when I first discovered her books I didnt think I’d ever love another series as much as I did her series that started with The Silver Swan but I was so wrong. I can tell that The Midnight Mayhem books are going to knock everyones socks off. In Peace Lies Havoc we are reintroduced to Midnight Mayem. A circus that’s not really a circus. Its darker. Her characters pull you in. Dove is yanked into this new place not knowing anything really. Her memories arent all there so all she really knows is the now but when shes kidnapped she doesnt even know that. Kingston doesnt do feelings. He does what he wants, when he wants. Things arent what they seem in Mignight Mayhem though. If you love crazy stories with more twists and turns then you know what to do with then Amo is the author for you and this story is going to leave you speechless. I want to say so much more but I dont want to ruin it for you guys. There was one quote from the book i highlighted because of how much i loved it so I’ll end this with it because it was pure perfection…”love is a battlefield, and my knight is a villain.”
4*
Dove isn’t expecting her night to finish the way it did, life hasn’t been easy in & out of foster homes since her parents death. She’s used to hearing voices from the shadow.
The mystic mayhem have just got their latest recruits but King isn’t sure about Dove and her place within the acts.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading what’s in store for the rest of the Brothers of Kiznitch.
Strong broody men who doesn’t want more from them?
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
“If you ever wondered if God played favorites, just look at King. Then again, wasn’t Lucifer also a favorite?”
~Dove~
I literally had to take a beat before writing my review. Let it sink in first. I’ve been waiting for this book for so long, and I loved everything about it. This book starts out on a bang and keeps on going. I wanted a Midnight Mayhem book since I read about them in Manik, and the wait was so worth it.
“Revenge isn’t always sweet; sometimes, it’s a bitter reminder of the demons you missed, so you need to cock back, aim, reload, and… bang.”
~King~
There are some books that are hard to put in words, for the sheer immensity of them, and this is one of them. Kingston will quickly become your new favorite book boyfriend after reading this. He is so dark, broody, possessive, and intense that you fall in love. Even though he’s the villain. He alone will suck you in, but there is so much more to Midnight Mayhem than just King. Like they say, every king needs his queen.
“I can admire that he looks like a f****** god, but that doesn’t make me one of his disciples.”
~Dove~
Our Little Bird is the perfect one for King. She has her own mind, and isn’t shy about expressing it. Her personal story is so full of little things that keeps you guessing about her. Her past flashbacks, make you wonder if she’s more than they say she is, or if she’s just an unwilling victim. Either way, she’s plenty strong enough to stand up against King and the Brothers, Kyrin, Keaton, and Killian.
“Eye contact is the language that no one can speak, but chemistry is fluent with; it’s the language of fate. It’s two souls catching on fire without a single word being spoken.”
~Dove~
Let me tell you, the eye contact in this book is electrifying to extremes, and so much can be said with a look. Especially between these two. What they have goes beyond bone deep and into the soul. So beyond, you can’t compare it to anything else.
“My crush on Kingston Axton is poison, but apparently, I’m willing to die for it.”
~Dove~
There are so many twists in this book you will never see coming. As soon as you think you know something, you’re so very wrong. This author has a way of writing a dark book that makes you feel it. And boy do you feel it. Everything. Good, bad and ugly. And while the Mayhem world may be aesthetically pleasing, there is a lot of ugly in it. These four guys and Dove will capture your attention and not let it go. This is definitely one of this authors best books to date and an absolute MUST read.
“That’s the thing with King and me. We write our story in invisible ink, so no one else can read it.”
Are you ready for midnight mayhem, get ready and hold on tight its going to be one hell of a ride.
In peace and havoc will literally blow your mother f#@cking mind this lady is fantastically dark twisted mind leaves you wanting more.
The characters are dark intesne and very intriguing you start off really wanting to hate them but the more you read the more you come to love them. Amo is the queen of dark and this is not for the faint hearted loved every minute of it fantastic ready
‘In Peace Lies Havoc’ is a INCREDIBLE story!
Amo has outdone herself!
Now, I really don’t know which of her books, I like the most.
When I was reading ‘In Peace Lies Havoc’ I thought, that I don’t want to end this book. Kingston and Dove story is so precious and hurtful. Midnight Mayhem world is a perfect idea and this book theme is so unique and original. I didn’t read something like that in my whole life!
I love Brothers of Kiznitch. And really… I don’t care if you love them too, or who first dibs on them. They are MINE! All of them! #sorrynotsorry.
Amo Jones knows how to make a alpha heros which everybody will love and fight for him.
But not only Kingston is my favourite in this book. Dove story is also wild. Her past haunts her in the present. I love her and admire her. She is brave and tough and she knows how to talk with a real man. But, let’s explain one thing to each other Amo never write about weak, shy girls. And this is beautiful in her!
‘In Peace Lies Havoc’ is a new Amo Jones. This book is so dark, so wild and so good! I am totally in love with new heroes and I can’t wait for the next book in series. Midnight Mayhem is a show which you don’t want to lose. Buy your ticket and wait patiently to 5th of November.
In Peace Lies Havoc is all consuming. Kingston and Dove will have you on the edge of your seat. You gotta love the push-pull going between the two. The heat between them is scorching but that fire is easily doused by the coldness King emits towards Dove. Amo writes stellar characters that not only dominate the pages of the books but your headspace even once you have finished reading. You are left with one major book hangover as you wait patiently for the next book in the series to release. In typical Amo fashion, you get a exhilarating and out of the norm dark read. The author will wreak havoc and mayhem on your mind and soul. Be prepared for the unexpected as Amo turns your world upside down. This is a book not to be missed!
I’m not quite sure how Amo Jones does it but each one of her new releases just keeps getting better and better. In Peace Lies Havoc is book one of the Midnight Mayhem series and it is AWESOME! Dark and twisted are the words that lay on the pages of this hauntingly devastating story. With a few familiar characters that happen to pop in, you will see some similarities between the Brothers and the Kings. Controlling, protective and sexual the men in this story are off the charts hot. Book 2 in the series, In Fury Lies Mischief, is sure to be another extremely anticipated release. 5+ stars for In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones.
Dove Hendry has had to learn to be tough and keeping quiet is one of her many coping mechanisms. Trying to make it on her own, she does what she has to just to survive, even if that means stripping. With her love for dance she lets the music take her away and she can detach herself from everything else around her. Kingston is on of the four Brothers, the descendants of The Founding Fathers. Along with Killian, Kyrin and Keaton, King has had a task given to him and that is to watch Dove and then bring her into the fold of Midnight Mayhem. Dove finds the carnival like atmosphere of Midnight Mayhem as odd but most things in her life have been. There are secrets that are being kept and lies being told and Dove just wants to dance to forget it all. Even though dancing brings her the serenity that she craves she will soon learn that for her In Peace Lies Havoc and with that havoc comes the danger.
Let me start off by saying that Amo NEVER disappoints with her storytelling. She has truly mastered her writing style that can not compare to any other author out there. She creates magic with her words that build these worlds and characters so beautifully that you’re captivated from the very first page. And like any book of hers, you’re promised a kick ass story with twists at every corner keeping you on your toes till the very end. There was one passage that spoke to me so completely that I’ll forever carry those words with me
“When life has taken control of you in the form of tragic incidents, it’s hard to allow something so hollow to fill the empty parts of your life.”
That’s the beauty of any Amo book that you pick up. It’s raw and gritty but above all it’s real. And being real makes it relatable in some way shape or form. I’m already mourning the end of this first book and has me craving the next. The Elite Kings and Devils Own series has a new group in town and Midnight Mayhem does not disappoint.
Get ready and Buckle up for this wild ride! Dove Hendry is taken and thrust into a scary new world after tragedy strikes. The world where the brothers of Kiznitch live within the Midnight Mayhem. Kingston Axton is one of those four brothers & somehow has a connection with Dove, good or bad you decide. You have never experienced a “show” quite like this one! A twisted, wild, dark and thrilling read. “Little Bird, don’t provoke the wolf when you’re a sheep.” The Fire and chemistry between Dove and King is over the top in the best way!!! Why her? I cannot divulge to much or it would give away the story that you need to discover on your own. Love the cameos from some other memorable characters. Cannot wait for more from this world and the other brothers. This can be read as a stand-alone; told in dual POV; Devilishly Fabulous!!
Midnight Mayhem is here and I’m not sure you’re ready for The Brothers of Kiznitch!
Amo Jones has yet again written a story that completely consumed me. Her words innocuously weaved around me and slowly dragged me into the Midnight Mayhem world (and honestly, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be). I was completely immersed in the characters and their story, everything else just seemed to fade away. I got sucked in. I inhaled every single word. I started reading and before I knew it, I’d run out of pages to turn.
In Peace Lies Havoc introduces us to some fantastic characters. Don’t ask me to pick my favourite because I can’t! The story is dark and oozes sexiness, the chemistry alone is enough to leave you needing a cold shower. There’s the wtf twists and turns that I’ve come to love and expect from this author but that I never seem to see coming and that keep me constantly guessing what’s going to happen next.
The first book in the Midnight Mayhem series has left me obsessed and desperate for more. Sinfully sexy, with a deliciously dark and twisted feel to it all and intriguing characters that left me needing more, this is an absolute must read and one of my top reads of the year.
“Welcome to Midnight Mayhem. We are not a circus, we are not a carnival…”but what Midnight Mayhem is, is one hell of a ride! In Peace Lies Havoc the first standalone in the new Midnight Mayhem series by Amo Jones is the most creative most unique story I have ever read! The writing is so magically descriptive I pictured every scene as clearly as if I was a ticket holder in the front row. From the black and lilac tent to the Kiznitch star, to the crazy stunts and captivating acts of the performers. I didn’t just read this book I EXPERIENCED it! I was drawn into the mind tricks of the characters both in and out of the show and felt the power of each performance! The depth of her writing and complexity of her characters is what keeps me coming back for more from this author! She doesn’t just write books she takes her readers on journeys through her creativity!
Kingston Axton has the face of the devil with a darkness inside him that both terrifies and thrills.
“He truly is magnificent to look at, but just as frightening.”
He’s always watching always listening and hunting his prey with only one goal in mind.
Dove Hendry is broken from a past she can’t remember and facing an uncertain future. She doesn’t know who she can trust but despite her growing feelings for the broody King she knows his only feeling for her is hate. Or is it?
“he’s scary as shit, but I can’t help but be drawn to the beast”
The sexual tension and push and pull between characters is utterly addicting and unmatched by any other author I’ve read! The Brothers of Kiznitch are a whole new batch of sexy Alphaholes that will have readers salivating. I mean seriously what kind of wizardry is this that makes me fall for these arrogant and brooding men?!
In true Amo Jones fashion not everything in Midnight Mayhem is as it seems. This new world is full of lies, deceit, lust, revenge and mind bending plot twists. The Brothers aren’t the only ones with mind tricks as the biggest one comes from the author herself!
In Peace Lies Havoc is a MUST READ dark romance and I just became a lifetime ticket holder to Midnight Mayhem!
5 STARS TO THE QUEEN OF DARK ROMANCE
This book was amazing! I cannot say enough about this book. Buckle up and hold on because you will be going for one amazing roller coaster ride. You will experience the highs, lows and sharp twists. The characters are intense, intriguing and very captivating. Amo Jones, being well versed in descriptive writing, has vividly painted a picture of this dark and dangerous world of Midnight Mayhem and it is not your average carnival. The sexy brothers of Kiznitch and Midnight Mayhem make the most ‘mundane feel exotic’. Just when you think you feel relaxed, this ride will take a sharp turn and you will experience all the feels of a wild ride.
It is an expectation that when you pick up an Amo Jones book you are going to get dark, hot, broody alphas and damaged heroines. You must expect the unexpected because she will smite you in the end and leave you wondering what the heck just happened. This plot is well paced and very intricate, opening up the doors to a whole knew Amo world – Midnight Mayhem. This book is a standalone, I understand that it will be intertwined as a part of the Midnight Mayhem series. Read this story! You will absolutely fall in love with Kingston, Dove and the brothers of Kiznitch.
Amo Jones, you are the queen of dark, twisted and broody; you played it. Thank you for your gift of word-smithery. You make reading an adventure for mature audiences.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy by the author and I voluntarily wrote an honest review.
