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…

ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING!
I wish I could find the best words to describe Midnight Mayhem! Amo Jones killed it! It’s no wonder this woman has very quickly become a favorite of mine, one of my 1-click authors!
It’s because regardless of how long it takes her to write or how strenuous the process is for her…these words pour like magic from the pages into our souls! Her tales fulfill a part I didn’t realize was missing anything! That’s how talented this woman is!
The brothers of Kiznitch definitely sucked me in. I need to know every single thing about every single one of them! I don’t want to give away much about the story because it’s something you need to experience completely, blindly.
You’ll never be the same after, I guarantee it!
In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones was absolutely INSANE and she legit rendered me speechless with this story. She has definitely outdone herself because her unique storytelling ability took me on a wild and crazy rollercoaster ride full of unexpected twists, turns, secrets and lies. This is the kind of story that you can’t stop reading once you have started, so make sure to clear your ENTIRE day before diving in. You know that kind of story that captures you whole body, mind, heart, and soul. You know the one that leaves you completely breathless as you inhale every word.
I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this story, from that one of a kind storyline to those outrageous characters that had my heart beating right out of my chest. Don’t even get me started on Kingston…oh boy did he steal every inch of my soul. I am head over heels in love with him and my goodness I think I might just feel the same way for all the Brothers too. And let’s not forget Dove. Her backstory is super intriguing and those flashbacks revealed just enough to keep us all guessing until the very end. She was hands done one of my favorite heroines and I loved the direction Amo Jones took with her character in.
This story is a must read for all dark romance lovers! The Midnight Mayhem world is one you want to be part of and I am already begging for more…and so will you the moment you get your hands on this story!
BLOWN AWAY!
It’s so intense your almost afraid to turn the page! King & Doves chemistry is off the charts add in all the twist and turns have you a mess. You never know what is gonna happen next. The storyline is dark with lots of twists and turns. Amo definitely nailed it with this book.
On the Floor!! Like that’s totally where my jaw is! Hell where I am. About the time you think you kinda have a handle on what TF is happening you realize you know shit, that script gets flipped and your left going WTF just happened?!?! But Holy Hell that was freakin’ amazing!
What a wild, crazy, mind-blowing carnival ride I’ve just been taken on. This book was truly a masterpiece. A one of a kind magical journey like nothing I have ever experienced before. I was instantly sucked into this incredible world that Amo Jones created for us and I’m not sure I ever want to leave it.
Holy god the Kiznitch brothers!! These guys y’all! Each one unique and beautiful and dark and well, just delicious. Their personalities were so different yet they were all dangerous and sinister but had this underlying oddly protective nature about them. You didn’t want to cross them, that was for damn sure.
“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.”
Now, Kingston “King” Axton the most broody, and meanest of all the brothers. There was an overwhelming feeling of danger that just seemed to lurk around him. I felt like there was something big and shady about him. I didn’t know if he was a bad guy or a good guy, but unavoidably couldn’t help but to love him. But I hated him at the same time. I just loved Dove so much and the way he was towards her was not only breaking her heart, it was destroying mine. This was one of those books where I swear every single time the H hurt the h , I felt a dagger in my own heart. Because I just felt to the depths of my soul that they were supposed to be together, and I couldn’t fathom how he couldn’t see it! And even with that I.STILL.LOVED.HIM!!
Kingston, GAH at times I most definitely wanted to rip his head off at the same time as his clothes! I will say, I never could have saw the twist of why he had such hatred towards her coming though.I bow to you , Amo! But even when he wouldn’t have her, he wasn’t willing to let anyone else have her either, and that gave me so much hope.
“I can’t fuckin’ share you, P. Ever. Even when you’re not mine officially, you’re still mine. That’s how it’s always going to be. I can’t fuckin’ function knowing you’re walking this earth, and it’s not me you’re walking it with. I can’t fuckin’ share you.”
Dove was the most strong-willed, beautiful , amazing character. No matter how many times King tried to break her, and he tried, and tried. She kept pushing. She had been through the ringer. Through more than what she even realized, but she knew she wanted him and she wanted answers and she wasn’t going to give up until she got both. I loved that she wasn’t afraid to push his buttons to get him to give in to her. Deep down I think she knew their connection was real, even if she didn’t fully understand everything that was going on because so much of her life had been a series of flashbacks. I love that even in the midst of all that came out in the twists she held strong. She could have let it destroy her, but she didn’t. I’m being vague, I know, but trust me it’s necessary.
In Peace Lies Havoc should be your next read. It is dark, it’s extraordinary and astonishing. You will be breathless and on the edge of your seat. You will be stuck between wanting to rush through the next chapter to see what happens and slowly savoring it because you don’t ever want it to end. Forever the conundrum! So glad that this is the beginning of a series. Don’t worry though, this book is a stand alone. I’m so not ready to let this world go. IT’S WAY TOO FREAKIN HOTT!!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
– This deserves so many stars! For all the unforeseen, heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, moments that left me just plain bewildered! Please everyone READ THIS BOOK! Where my words may fail me, this book won’t fail YOU!
– Ain’t nothing hotter y’all! Just…I would gladly bow to King
Cliffhanger Warning- No Cliffy. This is the first book in a series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
“All things sinister taste like honey.”

You bet your booty I’m getting that tattooed. Right up my alley.
Alright so here’s the deal: Amo Jones writes stories that have the ability to twist you inside out, force you into a smoking habit, and have you questioning if you’re just too dumb to figure it out or if she’s just THAT good.
She’s that good.
I genuinely had no fucking idea what was going on in this book. I was both turned on and terrified of the Brothers of Kiznitch but I desperately wanted to see them accept Dovey into their crew of madness. I was transfixed by the acts in this (not) carnival/circus, though at times I was confused by some of the descriptions because I haven’t seen many circus acts before (I highly suggest joining Amo’s FB group…she posted some pictures that are sexy as hell and help a lot) but I was never pulled out of the world.
Midnight Mayhem is truly made from nightmares and you spend the first 75% of this book questioning your sanity. I got so sucked in that I found myself salivating over creepy clowns and burning angels. The whole vibe of the story bled darkness, giving off witchy vibes and creating moments where you doubt your own reality. Its madness.
Amo’s stories always feel fresh. When you read them you know you’re NEVER going to read a story from her that’s been done like she does it. Antiheroes? Sure. Amo’s antiheroes? There’s none like them. They’re so dark you find that if the devil was anything like a Kiznitch brother…you’d sell your soul in seconds. They push boundaries and make you uncomfortable but their girls? Fucking Dope. The females in these series are real girls. They act like I’ve acted before, they talk like I’ve talked. They’re annoying, they’re mouthy, they make decisions that make you want to scream. But they’re also strong as hell, relatable, and honest. Being inside their heads feels fresh and modern, up to date with current times, talking about things I see daily.
The soundtrack? Get the fuck outta here. I listened to every song as they popped up throughout the book and let me tell you…I have been jamming ever since.
This book has triggers, it’s dark…REALLY dark, but it’s Amo. And it’s amazing.
“One cannot exist without the other.”
In Peace Lies Havoc, the first book in Midnight Mayhem left me completely speechless from the awe of Amo Jones’s brilliant and creative mind. She sucked me into her deliberately written and the vivid world with exceptional heroes and so unique plot with no way out. A world so dangerous, dark, sinful and sexy.
Kingston and Dove’s story is a pure rollercoaster of emotions, passion, intense encounters, and the most unexpected twists and turns I have ever read. They are strong, fierce and very passionate heroes. Kingston is a pure alpha man, demanding, broody and yet very protective and possessive. But don’t let his charm blind you. His mind is filled with bloody thoughts and Dove is his final prey. Dove is a truly interesting girl, brave, talented, admirable and very mysterious. She is not who she seems to be. And the flashback of her past slowly reveals she shockingly and unexpected truth.
Midnight Mayhem tent would not exist without the Brothers of Kiznitch and other intriguing dancers! Prepare to have your soul stolen, sanity questioned and heart beating faster for all of them! I am especially obsessed with a certain brother.
In Peace Lies Havos a pure madness! A must-read dark romance about the incredibly disturbing and yet desirable world. Let me tell you, readers, it is just a beginning…
In Peace Lies Havoc is insane!! Author Amo Jones outdoes herself once again with this first installment in what will surely be an amazing series. In Peace Lies Havoc is a crazy, addictive rollercoaster ride filled with twists, turns, secrets, lies and betrayal.
When I first started reading, I wasn’t sure what was happening or where it was going. As I continued to read, I found myself further entrenched in this intense story. The more I read, the more I learned, the less I knew. The story had me on the edge of my seat, reading furiously to find more answers.
I love the characters, especially the Brothers of Kiznitch, but I loved Dove and the women of Midnight Mayhem as much. This story did not go where I thought it was going and the not knowing added to the suspense.
Kingston and Dove have a palpable attraction. The steam is hot AF. Their push/pull is intense. It gave me whiplash and wanting more.
The mind of author Amo Jones is incredible. She creates these amazing, twisted, sinister worlds with crazy characters, good, bad, and ugly, with everything in between. She will hook you in and hold you captive to the very last word. Midnight Mayhem might just be one of her best. I loved it and cannot wait to see what book 2 has in store. Highly recommend!!!!

ARC REVIEW
Dark craziness made in Hell and closed with a broken little blood bow.
Oh My Gosh! I can’t believe what I have just read!
‘In Peace Lies Havoc’ by Amo Jones is an all-new dark novel that marks the beginning of the crazy journey that is ‘Midnight Mayhem’ series.
I have read my fair share of books from this author, but I have to say, this is by far the best she has ever written, the craziest, most original book and I f*cking love it!
This book is a one of a kind book that can either give you the best dreams you’ll ever have or the worst nightmares you’ll be running away from.
It truly brings out the darkest parts of your soul when you read it, making you question all that you believe in and your own sanity thanks to all the different scenarios included in this book.
‘In Peace Lies Havoc’ is not a book for all readers, especially not the light-hearted who get scared easily or who don’t like blood, pain and chaotic havoc.
If you love dark reads that will f*ck with your head, steal your dark soul, and make you feel things others would be probably ashamed of, then this is the perfect read to satisfy the devil inside you.
Dove’s story is the beginning of a crazy will ride that will become her life, a life where she will have to fight with everything she has not to lose herself, a life that could probably destroy people if they weren’t strong enough. Luckily, she is. Dove is strong and resilient, she is a talented dancer with a cutting mouth and an incredible mind. In this book, she will have to walk through Hell, a Hell where there is no way out, one full of gorgeous people that hide something dark and twisted behind panty-melting smirks and crazy acts that will shock the heck out of you.
She will become part of a crazy group of people that make Midnight Mayhem what it is, and she will have to find her own coping mechanism and a way to survive. Even if that means getting close to the Devil himself and trust psychos who everyone should be afraid of.
Kingston is said Devil incarnate. He is cold and menacing, calculating his every move and ready to take on whatever task it is he needs to complete. He is drop-dead gorgeous but also scary and mysterious, his charms help him get whatever he wants and get away with all he does but beneath that beautiful exterior lies a monster ready to come and play.
He is a talented motherf*cker in everything he does, a beautiful creature of the night that eats little girls for breakfast and creates chaos as soon as midnight comes around.
This book, I repeat, is something crazy unique, something you won’t come across again, a book that will leave you speechless most of the time, turned on with every flick of the page and dumb stupid when it comes to these characters, especially the Four Brothers. *drools*
Every character in this book has an essential role when creating this masterpiece. They all have a darkness inside them that threatens to come out when poked the wrong way, they are all a little broken, a little or a lot crazy and a bit disturbed. But they are family. A crazy, f*cked up family that couldn’t be any more perfect for this book and the Kitznitch Brothers are the f*cking center of this family.
This dark masterpiece had been written in true Amo fashion, a book that will f*ck with your mind, your soul and your body. Something that scares you but leaves you craving for more, something you will love with even the darkest parts of yourself and need with every inch of your body.
I cannot wait to read more of this series, to come back into this world of maniacal love and deranged psychos, and lose myself in it.
Also, hello crossovers! I see you and I love the heck out of you!
Make sure to check this beauty out, but beware, its powerful magic might get inside of you and steal your soul. So hang on to it tight. Or don’t.
This book blew me away with its hauntingly twisted characters and world. It’s a NEED to experience kind of book.
5 Amazing
I was anxiously awaiting for THIS book and let me tell you, it was MUCH MORE than I hoped. Amo out did herself with this freaking amazing novel.
The characters, every single one was so intriguing, I wanted to crawl into this story and shadow them like a creeper, their development was spot on. But don’t think you’ll have them figured out, oh no. When you think that maybe the theory you are coming up it’s it, think again. This one had me guessing until the reveal.
I want more, I crave them and need to fuel my mind with these types of twists and curves.
My only complain, it’s that I’m done and left with the biggest book hangover. Only counting down until next time I’ll be seeing them in my dreams.
Love, trust and hate are three feelings that are easily entwined like the strings of a puppet.
Amo Jones being the puppet master and we the mere puppets begging to be played with.
What is done behind the shadows of Midnight Mayhem is more than anyone can fathom.
It is bittersweet, it hurts like hell but above anything what happens there stays there and the bond that creates cannot be severed.
Dove and Kingston are kismet beyond reason. Something that cannot be comprehended by anyone outside that circle.
The story told is one that sticks to ones soul and will stay there forever.
And to think this only the beginning…
… the beginning of the end….
Midnight Mayhem is already welcoming you to the next leg of their tour… with characters old or maybe they are new…
Only time will ever tell.
The complexity of these characters feel so so real and you can tell Amo left pieces of herself in this book. Something that enhances this story to it’s full extend.
You’ll be enthralled, you’ll be mesmerized and above all you’ll want to be the one behind the curtains.
Be ready for more.
amm the story by the talented Author Amo gives us a story that is magical and left me stunned and speechless.
In Peace Lies Havoc is a title that doesn’t makes it possible to guess what this story will be about.
I was so hyped for this book after knowing how the Author constructs her Stories. This book gave me so much i dove in this story after the first sentence to last and was totally unable to make breaks.
It only took me a few hours to inhale the story because of this catching writing style.
There had been a lot of mysteries in this whole story. It was really great to read in wich ways they come out.
All those constractions inside the Midnight Mayhem wich made this story so much more interesting. Because I never now how this story will develop in the next few pages. There had been twists wich nobody had been able guess.
Dove is a young women who doesn’t talk a lot. Also she is a Talented young women but also works really really hard. She fights for her self and does things what are good for her.
Kingsinton is leader what he says is law in his world. He hates with the same strongnes with this he loves. The young man is not a friendly person in the classical way. But if you found a way in his heart he starts to fight for you.
All in all the idea of this book is great and the implementation is perfect in its own way. With a lot of mystery this book gives us so many reasons to read it. We had all of this famous sparks that are so important for romance book. An other reason this book was so amazing was the way how things in Midnight Mayham. So this really dark book wich facinated me a lot gets 10 off ten Stars.
3 Stars
This one was a difficult book to rate for me. After all the anticipation of waiting for this book I was so excited to finally get my hands on it and to devour the book. Now don’t get me wrong, I did 100% devour this book.
This was without a doubt pure Amo at her finest with the twists & turns. The mind games that honestly made you feel like you didn’t have a clue what in the actual hell was going on in the book. The whole new world that she has created within Midnight Mayhem is without a doubt crazy and absolutely astonishing in itself.
But… I feel like I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I have her other books. Which I am absolutely gutted about because I love Amo’s books and I was so excited for this one!
I think a lot of the problem for me was because even though these are two completely different worlds, both the Midnight Mayhem and Elite Kings world had a lot of similarities. The characters mannerisms I felt were a lot like the Kings characters. I also think some of the plot twists just felt really similar too. So this just made me feel like I read it before which is why I have rated the book how I have.
This is a first for me with one of Amo’s books because I honestly do love all of her work, and I know I’m in the minority to others who have read it. But I just had to be completely honest with how the book made me feel.
In saying all of this though, I feel that if I hadn’t have read Amo’s Elite King’s Series beforehand then I would have most definitely have rated this book higher and would have enjoyed it that much more.
At the end of the day Amo has still written an amazing new world masterpiece which is dark, erotic, and mind-blowing. It will have you on the edge of your seating waiting to see what possible twits & turns will happen next. It just so happens that it wasn’t for me, but it could very well be for you.
“Welcome to Midnight Mayem. 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…”
Amo did it again bringing a new book series that is so dark and twisted
I never had the feeling that I wanted to finish this book
The characters are interesting, and of course there such a turn in the end
Story told Dove and Kingston point of views
Thank you!
I don’t even know where to begin or how to explain what an epic journey this book took me on. The way that Amo Jones paints a picture with her words made me feel like I was in the audience experiencing Midnight Mayhem right along with them. This book is chaotic, intense, dark, amazing and one hell of a ride!!
The Sons of Kiznitch are a foursome not to be rivaled. These alpha males owned my heart from the beginning and wanted more with each page. I got goosebumps and a rush of adrenaline when Dove was in the cage with King for the first time not knowing what to expect. Dove and King are fire together whether or not either one of them wants to admit it at first. Dove’s character is phenomenal!! After everything she’s been through she won’t take any crap lying down. I love strong female characters and Dove is one bad a$$ Bia!! She will survive and come out on top every time.
This book hypnotized me from the beginnin till the end. You know it’s a damn good book when you don’t take any breaks because you’re afraid you’re going to miss out on something important. This rollercoaster is full of twists and turns that will blow your mind and it is worth more than 5 stars. Amo Jones wrote an extraordinary story with In Peace Lies Havoc and I cannot wait for more Midnight Mayhem because I will buy a ticket every damn time!!
I’m not even sure where to begin this review.
I had no real idea what to expect when I opened this book, and to be honest, I don’t think anything could have prepared me for this one.
This book is dark and oh so amazing. Plot twists, suspense, angst, desire – it’s all here. Honestly, every time you think you have a grasp of what is happening, the story twists and leaves you wanting more.
The world Amo Jones has created is nothing short of stunning. The visual imagery she creates with her words left me breathless. The storyline was addicting, I could not put this book down once I got through the first page.
I absolutely loved the music references in this book and the connection in dance.
Deviance runs rampant in this book. It’s amazing.
I may sound redundant, but this book was stellar, and I can’t wait for more from this series. The world Amo Jones is bringing to life is worth everything.
Must one-click this one now.
And as always from my reviews, my top quotes of the book:
Eye contact is the language 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.”
“Intimacy is just like murder; they both make your heart race and your palms sweat while leaving your thoughts in disarray, but then when you’re done, you’re left with the remnants of someone else’s soul or blood on your hands.”
“That’s the thing with King and me. We write our story in invisible ink, so no one else can read it.”
Amo Jones has given us a unique story with some of the most intriguing characters. Dove Noctem Hendry takes on many challenges and they just happen to go by the names of Kingston, Killian, Kryin and Keaton-The Brothers Of Kiznitch.
I delved right in and welcomed the bizarre and intriguing world of all things Midnight Mayhem and The Brothers Of Kiznitch. The men are ruthless scary and the women are sassy and of course sexy. The storyline is great with just the right amount of angst, jaw dropping moments and twists.
I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series and which dark corridor of her mind is she going to take us down. Bring it on. I’m ready.
Once again Amo Jones treats us to a super crazy world with the most complex in depth characters. You immediately want to know their secrets, you just know there’s a connection between them all; the clues are all drip fed to us crumb by crumb. Only when the penny finally drops does the whole story come crashing over you like a tsunami.
Its at that point the title makes sense!
It’s so twisted and cleverly crafted buts its exactly what we have come to expect of this author. The writing is 4D, there are no wasted words and every word is a clue of whats to come!
The BEST EVER from my Queen. I thought I was ready but no one is ready for this! If you start this book you will not put it down! This world is so MAGICAL and CAPTIVATED. I finished the reading days before but I still can’t get it out of my head. It’s all there in the corner of my brain. This story darker than The Elite Kings Club, I love those boys too. But the Brothers of Kiznitch, it’s hard to say how I feel. I lose.

a million stars wouldn’t be enough
“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…”
Wowza. What a ride! I feel that a major book hangover is coming and I think it won’t be very easy to get over it. I can very honestly say that this is one of THE BEST books I have ever read in 2019. Or even it is one of the best out of all the books I have read since I have started to read. In Peace Lies Havoc is an insanely awesome story that will make you want more and more.
I have read ‘Manik a few weeks ago (I am still completely obsessed with that story so if you haven’t read it yet, well… you totally should), and I was briefly introduced to some characters and basically the Midnight Mayhem show, and I since then I was so impatient, I really wanted to read this book as soon as possible. And now it is live!
This book… I am still completely speechless. Oh my God. This book is totally addictive. It is addictive on a next level. Amo Jones never ever disappoints her readers. She keeps mesmerizing us with her words. She writes the most unique stories ever.
In Peace Lies Havoc is the very definition of an unputdownable novel. Make sure you don’t have any plans for the day when you start reading it, because The Brothers of Kiznitch won’t let you go until you finish that book. Moreover, even after you finished it. This novel, this story, these characters own me, I can not stop thinking about these. It absolutely gave me a major book hangover. Dove and Kingston’s story is phenomenal. Twisted. Super dark. Unforgettable. Magnificent. It is a wild and crazy ride, an extremely epic read that will make you question everything, even your sanity. Mysterious. It is everything a dark romance reader needs and wants.
I need the next book(s) like my next breath, so please tell me Amo that these will be released soon. I am completely addicted to this series.
*full review will be posted on my blog soon*
