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…

I don’t even know where to start with this review. I closed the book two days ago and it’s STILL consuming my thoughts. This book is so uniquely Amo and is the perfect example of why I fell in love with her writing years ago. Since Amo announced the Midnight Mayhem series, I have been dying to read it and she certainly delivered.
Amo has this way with words that just sucks you in and consumes your mind and soul. In Peace Lies Havoc has taken over as my favorite Amo Jones book. The Brothers of Kiznitch definitely rival the Elite Kings and I am most certainly here for it. Dark, brooding, sexy and exhilarating, these men will leave your heart racing and panties soaked.
The plot is well developed and executed, and takes you on one hell of a ride. There were so many twists and turns at every corner. This was literally a “one more chapter” kinda book., each chapter was like crack that had me fiending for more until I stared at the final words. The suspense of Dove’s flashbacks and the mystery surrounding them had me glued to the pages. The entire concept of Midnight Mayhem had me intrigued and and I am completely enthralled with the Brothers of Kiznitch.
In Peace Lies Havoc is a must read for fan of angsty, suspenseful, dark romance. It’s going on my top 5 of 2019 list and I absolutely can’t wait for more Mayhem!!!

Overall Rating: 5+ stars
Just when you thought Amo Jones couldn’t unleash more perfection into the book world she stands triumphantly and says “watch this!”
There’s truly no way to prepare for the disturbingly delicious twists that await within the pages of In Peace Lies Havoc.
Amo Jones has created characters with depth and complexity. The story delves deep into the taboo world of Midnight Mayhem where the acts are deliciously sinful, and the performers own the stages in which they perform.
What I love about this story is that each character lends importance to the story. They each bring something unique to add intrigue to the storyline. I found myself vested in each character.
The Brothers of Kiznitch are pure sinful perfection!!! Comprised of the 4 K’s (Kingston, Killian, Keaton and Kyrin) they are depraved and mysterious. They’ll entrance you and hold you hostage throughout the story.
Dove Hendry our heroine is spirited and strong! Having endured much tragedy in her life, she’s a bit mysterious, even to herself. It’s interesting to watch her story unfold and discover secrets that even surprise her.
Her and Kingston’s chemistry is off the charts!!!
Overall, this story is just pure perfection and I cannot recommend it enough!!
If you are looking for:
-Riveting and dark story with depth and detail
-Interesting storyline that will hook you from the first sentence
-Complex and strong characters (particularly dark, dangerous, mysterious and super-hot Alpha men)
-Twists and turns
Then you need to read this book!!!
5+ stars!!!
Oh my yes. This author has an inane ability to give me the exact story I wasn’t aware I needed until I read it. Oh, to spend about 15 minutes in her beautiful mind.
So, this is Dove’s story. Her parents were murdered in front of her and she’s been struggling to survive since. When our story begins she’s an exotic dancer. As she’s leaving for the night, she’s taken. She spends the next week in a cage. She’s been recruited to join Midnight Mayhem.
Kingston, yum. He’s a king in not only name.
This book takes so many twists and turns. It was a beautifully dark story that we’ve come to love and expect from this author. I am in love with this serious so far and we’re just on the first book. More please.

Stolen from her ruined life, and brought to a world that’s both your dreams and nightmares rolled into one.
She’s set free, but tethered to a brotherhood of four. Each boy deadlier than the next.
He watches her every move, but does he truly see her. She can feel the pull to him, but hes everything she shouldn’t want…
Oh wow what a truly magnificent unique read!
Expect the unexpected for that is where the secrets of this book lie.
Four boys of the brotherhood are part of Midnight Mayhem. It’s not a circus, it’s not a strip club it’s a sensual, sexy and extremely erotic “R” rated experience and way of life.
The girls are hot, but the boys are hotter! The scenes played out between them, will more than whet your appetite and rev your engines!
Such a dark and delicious read with characters that will shadow your thoughts long after the book is over.
Amo has produced something that’s mind blowing. It’s all kinds of crazy, yet it works and I’m dying for more of this world already!!
Amo Jones has dark magic in her finger tips. The dark, exhilarating and chaotic energy is flowing in her words. And In Peace Lies Havoc will wreck your heart and soul.This is an epic and breathtaking story of toxic vengeance, intoxicating passion and twisted mind games. Everything you crave from Amo Jones yet completely unexpected and unsettling.
My mind is wandering somewhere between truth and fantasy after finishing In Peace Lies Havoc. My brain is foggy and drugged with the secrets, lies, deception and everything. Dove Hendry has been taken away by the Kitznich brothers and thrown into the world of Midnight Mayhem. What is Mindnight Mayhem. It is not a circus. It is not a carnival. It is a way of life. Where they entertain with depravity and darkness. Where death walks free but souls are in ecstasy. Dove does not know she will be more than an act. Her life is going to get turned upside down. Again. In true Amo Jones style, the story has layers of complex storylines. An empire of ruthless monsters . A brotherhood of loyalty. A bond forged with blood, danger, passion, love and hate. You are going to get lost in the maze and will love every second.
There is so much to say and I don’t have fitting words for all of them. Kingston, Killian, Keaton and Kyrin are four brothers of Kitznich. And they all have their unique personalities. But they have something common. Their tortured souls, their arrogant attitude, their ability to switch on and off emotions like master and unyielding trust for each other. And Dove is going to introduce destruction and redemption in their lives. I live for Amo’s broken girls. She is unapologetically vulnerable and she turns it to something strong. She walks like she does not have glass shards in her feet. She talks like her grief and loss is not choking her. She acts like she is not being torn to hundred different directions. She loves like she does not hate the passion and emotions. And she dances like she is trying to exorcise her demons. How can I not bow to her? Kingston is not a gentle or sweet soul. I would be disappointed if he was. And the difference from other twisted angsty heroes you read is he does not go sweet even after accepting his love for Dove. He is still one angry ball of dominance and torture. And they feed each other’s soul. I am still dizzy and trying to process all the twists and turns. But what an epic journey!
In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones has created a beautifully devastating mess in my heart. The angst has ripped my heart. The sickeningly deviant power play has mesmerized me and enthralled me. And I simply need more.
Received ARC for Honest Review
How can I even begin to explain how absolutely extraordinary In Peace Lies Havoc was… ? I honestly don’t even know if it’s possible to truly give justice to the magic that is Midnight Mayhem
Amo Jones has created yet another uniquely dark & twisted book world for us to fall in love with; a new cast of characters to obsess over & without a doubt will give you one of the most epic book hangovers. IPLH is jam packed full of so many secrets, lies, magic & mystery… and the plot twists will have your head spinning! With layers upon layers of intricate details, visits from some of our favs from other book worlds & the undeniable connection between Dove & Kingston..I could not put this book down…I didn’t want D & K’s story to end & I cannot wait to see what’s to come from this one-of-a kind new series

“Welcome to Midnight Mayhem. We are not a circus, we are not a carnival, and the only thing that you should be afraid of losing tonight, is your sanity…”
In Lies Peace has Amo Jones’ signature twisted storyline that mindfu*cks you in the most dark, delicious way.
A very unique setting that weaves a tale of madness, mystery and dark romance.
I was on edge and captivated the entire way.
The plot twist was FANTASTIC and I did not see it coming.
I’m not saying anything else.
READ THIS BOOK! I floved it so hard.

Would I read more from the author? Yes – She is a one click author for me.
Would I recommend this book? Hell yes- what are waiting for – go get it now!
Good heavens!! I just love these dysfunctional, societies with/without so-called standard society. Filled with enigmatic, brilliantly disturbed, fascinating characters, In Peace Lies Havoc is an enthralling, confusing (at times) and fast moving story which blew my new bamboo socks right off my newly treated feet! Dove and King!! Yes! Plus the rest of the Brothers. What a crew!!
With scenes that will make the hair stand up on end, have you reaching for a fan and a slew of fabulous characters, the only other thing I can say about this 5star read is: when is the next one out??
Holy shit balls Batman! My mind has been blown, tossed around, and ninja kicked! This is my first Amo Jones book and anyone who has read her and didn’t tell me how amazing she is well… I forgive you because this was so well worth the wait!! It’s like being completely taken over. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this incredibly intricate storyline! Oh and don’t get comfortable reading this because once you do boom!! She hits you with a twist that knocks you square on your hindquarters(yes I am the type who says hindquarters don’t judge me) The detail with which she describes everything is overwhelming in the most heart clenching way. The hot/cold chemistry between King and Dove will leave you drooling.. Just a whole lot lol Get your bibs ready ladies! All hail the priestess of darkness Amo Jones!!
In Peace Lies Havoc is a phenomenal story with mind blowing Midnight Mayhem madness. I’m in awe of Amo’s incredible mind.
Entire Midnight Mayhem world and Kiznitch Brothers shocked me, penetrated into my core but I crave nothing but more of them.
Everything what I thought I would find in this story wasn’t even close to what it turns out to be. If you think for a second you can figure out Amo’s next move, think again!
Dove Noctem Hendry was a young girl who’s lost so much in her young life. From the outside she could be perceived as a broken girl but she was very strong person with incredible talent and passion which guides her through her life. Even her life was totally one huge chaos, this redhead heroine got to me on the deeper level.
OMG! The Kiznitch brothers. They’ve messed with my head…. A LOT but I love them all together and every one apart even thought they scare the shit out of me.
They are dangerous and evil guys and four unpredictable individuals. Their journey with Midnight Mayhem began long time ago but there is a deeper profound story behind it all.
Kingston totally grabbed me by my heart. He was sharp on the edges, savage and heartless but there was something about him that made my heart skip a bit every time I’ve read about him.
Author puts our emotions on the highest level.
Fear mixed with passion, danger with love, desire with darkness.
You’re gonna fall in love with hero and heroine, with their undeniable chemistry and explosive connection between them.
There was also such a great suspense in the story that captivated me and kept me on my toes through the whole book. Amo revealed every mystery piece by piece and I couldn’t put this book down shocked, sometimes confused but mesmerized like never before.
She comes out with the darkness in full force fast pace and twist of action in this story.
Let me tell you dark book lovers, you’re not ready for this deliciously dark and emotional rollercoaster.
I’ve got always goosebumps when I read Amo’s words and this time was the same. Her transcriptions and words are always like poetry to my soul and I drowning so easily into it.
Where is a peace there is always havoc and now I know exactly what In Peace Lies Havoc title means.

As usual Amo Jones has put me in a book hangover!!! In Peace Lies Havoc was amazing!! I was hooked from the beginning. I love love Kingston and Dove. Kingston was dangerous, broody, protective and delicious. Dove was feisty and pretty much just the type of heroine I love. I am obsessed with the Brothers of Kiznitch and the Midnight Mayhem World. I cannot wait for more!!
Wow! I just finished this book and really don’t know where to start. My thoughts are jumbled, just like I’ve come to expect from this author. Never one to give it to you straight, this book is full of so many twists and turns and ‘wait, what?!’ moments that it pulls you into its web and once you start reading, it’s all consuming, nothing else matters, everything else can wait. The story is built on raw, intense chemistry that leaves you gasping for more while your head spins trying to catch up and follow where the story leads.
I love Delila’s world of The Brothers, Midnight, The Six and The Seven and the rest that we haven’t heard about yet and can’t wait to find out who we get to read about in the next one ‘In Fury Lies Mischief’, any guesses??
Holy what a read this was, had my mind going everywhere. I couldn’t get a grasp of what would happen, which I love in a read, makes me read faster. I don’t want to review this any further cause no way I am ruining this for the next reader. But 5 plus star read forsure!
***5 ‘Hypnotic and Poisonous’ Stars***
I’ve been waiting for this series ever since experiencing Midnight Mayhem in Manik. I needed/wanted more. I wanted to see behind the curtain and worm my way into the hearts and souls of all the people involved in it…and In Peace Lies Havoc gave me all that and a whole hell of a lot more! This book, this world is vibrantly dark and twisted and yet nestled deep within beats a pure heart ~ even if that heart is tinged with black ~ and filled with characters that I desperately need more of.
Dove and King definitely took me on a wild ride from start to finish, but it was one that I couldn’t get enough of. I adored Dove. She sassy, sweet and strong. Holy hell is this girl strong. She gives as good as she gets and fights hard for what she wants. King is all kinds of conflicted, alpha AF male and loyal to his very soul to those he’s claimed as his. Their journey to their HEA is all kinds of angsty goodness ~ which meant that they drove me batshit crazy for the majority of the book because the push/pull was real ~ but was sooo worth it because the chemistry between the two of them was nuclear and there was no doubt in my mind that they belonged together.
This baby was an experience. It’s not just a book, it’s an experience. The twists, the turns, the agony she not only puts her characters through, but her readers as well, only to come out on the other side even more in her thrall is real. And speaking of characters…The Brothers of Kiznitch, these guys are all kinds of goodness. Keaton is the one that fascinates me the most, but that doesn’t mean that I’m any less into Killian and Kyrin. And then there is the rest of the Midnight Mayhem crew and then some *BSEG* ~ Rose, Maya, Delila, the angels and demons ~ so many amazing characters make up this world and I cannot wait to get to know them all better as the series progresses.
Note: If you haven’t read Manik, where Midnight Mayhem is first introduced, you won’t be missing out on anything as far as what goes on between Dove and King BUT you really should read it because it’s simply an awesome read!
~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~
This is my first read by Amo Jones. This world she has created sank its claws into me and I am utterly, enthralled by it. I am trapped in its darkness and I craved it the deeper the story pulled me in. The Brothers of Kiznitch are a delicious, manic, mind f*** that embed themselves so deep, that you crave them like an addict who fiercely needs a fix. Dove is like a siren who traps and then wraps herself around you, you’ll never want to break free from her. Midnight Mayhem is a dark fantasy that I ache to be apart of. It’s a tragic, suspenseful, angsty, slow burning, devilish read that I unquestionably need more of!
Addictive, masterpiece read!!! Lana~ White Hot Reads
This new series is seductive and in true Amo fashion, doesn’t disappoint. The story is so intriguing with so many twist and turns it keeps your head spinning. I couldn’t put this book down. We see a few of our other characters from other series make an appearance.
Kingston and Dove are explosive with the sexual chemistry. I can’t wait for the next book to see who is next. These Brothers of Kiznitch are stunning.
Love this authors work, she’s the queen of misdirection and mind games and I always know I’m gonna get one hell of a ride along the way.
This one, as usual, doesn’t disappoint and is set in the world of Midnight Mayhem a travelling X-rated entourage of visual delights and mayhem with a very unusual recruitment process.
This was as intriguing as it was confusing, a totally unique read that I had no clue most of the time what was actually occurring.
With dark themes and blurred sexual boundaries, this had a major dark edgy vibe to it that I absolutely loved.
At the centre here, we have Kingston and Dove, or little bird as shes known (loved the nickname).
Both have their own roles to play in the upcoming drama and this book really does a number in terms of what you imagine is occurring and what actually is.
No cliffhangers here and this one ends in an HFN ending which was fantastic.
There is a book 2 wether that focuses on the same couple or introduces another pair I don’t actually know.
I highly recommend this one it really was a fantastic experience.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of In Peace Lies Havoc (Midnight Mayhem #1).

Holy Hotness!! I loved In Peace Lies Havoc
Amo Jones’ deliciously devilish mind will charm you & set your soul on fire with her amazingly dark, twisted, wonderful story telling abilities.
Midnight Mayhem, a place where literally anything can & will happen. You are sucked into all the angst, drama, twist & turns, & then spit out into a totally different land. Where with each flip of a page you find yourself whispering WTF, while being totally consumed, shocked, wholeheartedly excited, & maybe a little frightened.
Buckle up buttercup, because The Brothers of Kiznich & Midnight Mayhem are going to take you on a dark, mysterious, wild ride. With four sexy, anti-hero males & the strong-willed, mind of their own beautiful heroines.
“I don’t want her forgiveness”………”I want her vengeance.”
King & Doves story is an all consuming tale of two lonely, lost, people who find themselves in each other.
“One cannot exist without the other.”
A MUST READ!! I can’t wait for the next book!
Be prepared for a wild ride as this author takes you on a dark journey full of lies and passion, deceit and lust, and a whole lot of mayhem in a world where everything is not always as it seems. The great world building that this author created is phenomenal. She has crafted a unique story complete with enthralling characters and some jaw-dropping plot twists.
I absolutely loved the unique and incredible cast of characters and all for different reasons. No matter how minor they may seem, each one plays an integral part in this intense rollercoaster of a ride! Dove is a strong heroine who has been dealt a bad hand and I was riveted as I watched her story unravel. The Brothers Kitznitch are all gorgeous, arrogant, and a little terrifying in their own fascinating ways. Kingston and Dove together were intense and so full of passion. With each turn of the page, I was pulled further into their story.
In Peace Lies Havoc is an engaging story with an engaging and well executed plot, stunningly descriptive scenes, and well-developed characters. If you have read any of this author’s other works or love dark romances, then you will enjoy this read!
I don’t even know where to begin! Can we curse in reviews?! Probably not! In peace lies havoc is phenomenal! Amo takes you through mayhem with her words. Each brother has his own personality that differs from the other. Dove doesnt remember anything from before her parents died. The brothers know something. King wants to kill Dove but at the same time he wants her but shes not his to want.
Midnight Mayhem is not a circus. Theres no rides because it’s not for kids. At midnight the psychos come out to dance. Everything becomes clear to Dove and suddenly she remembers.
This highly anticipated book will have you wanting more of the brothers of Kiznitch. From start to finish I was immersed in this world. Loving and hating the characters. Unexpected plot twists, secrets and wooo wooo a visit!!! You are not going to want to miss this world!!!
I recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book needs more stars than 5!
