In Peace Lies Havoc (Midnight Mayhem Book 1)

Another new and fantastic world from Amo, I loved this with a passion, beautifully written and so very descriptive you could be in the story. A stunning and addictive story line with a fabulous line up of new characters, all unique and intriguing, I loved them all!!

In true Amo fashion, this will mess with your mind and have you believing one thing and then sends you off on a completely different tangent, talk about keeping you on your toes. The world of Midnight Mayhem is like a traveller group of X-rated performers, all having their own type of act, and members are recruited into Midnight Mayhem in quite a unique way!

I fell in love with Kingston and his 3 brothers, so alpha and downright smokin’! Kingston is broody, sultry, not to be messed with and downright dangerous, yet protective, his charm will have you swooning in your seats. Dove is a fantastic heroine, sexy and sassy, caring and protective, but with a fierce streak that drives Kingston mad! The sexual chemistry between these two is absolutely sizzling. The story line is dark, gritty, powerful and full of ‘what’s happening’ moments. Intense and captivating, I couldn’t put it down and loved every minute. It’s a wild ride that will leave you reeling and your head spinning as you try to figure out what you just read. I can’t wait to see where Amo takes this with book 2. A must read for Amo fans.

I honestly don’t know how she does it. Amo has such a talent for creating worlds that suck you in and make you want to stay and never leave.

Dove was confused most of the book. There were so many gaps and questions she had about her life and why she was a part of this group. However, she was never weak. She never backed down, gave up, or showed that she was vulnerable. She gave as good as she got regardless of the consequences. She is a character you are rooting for from the first page.

King was very back and forth. He’s broody, angry, standoffish, and then every once and a while you would see him crack just a little and show his sweet side. I never could figure him out. Then secrets are revealed, and I was like…”Oh crap dude! You messed up, and how could you not have known!!!”

I couldn’t get enough of these two characters. They were both unique in their own ways, and the twists and turns I never saw coming. Even the secondary characters have their stories set into motion, and I was trying to figure out their motives too. I can’t wait to find out what happens next at Midnight Mayhem.

-An Arc was generously provided in exchange for an honest review.-

Where do I even begin with this one? I was seriously captivated by this book, Amo has crafted a world where you can visualise every element she throws at you. Dove Hendry is the heroine and as ever she is fierce, strong and feisty, she is provocative, sensual, a fighter and she doesn’t back down easily. She is taken and thrown into the Midnight Mayhem world having survived her own trauma’s already. Thrust into an unknown world of family loyalties, legends, mysticism, sensuality, and age old rivalries.

The Brothers of Kiznitch are entrusted to settle Dove into the Midnight Mayhem world. Made up of Keaton, Kyrin, Killian and Kingston, these men are alpha anti hero’s and I was instantly captivated by them. Each man different, but they stand as a united front that Dove slowly breaks through. Delving underneath and immersing herself into the brotherhood in a way she never expected. Midnight Mayhem is a sexually charged world and chemistry is weaved through every page; but Kingston and Dove are undeniably drawn to one another and despite his give zero f**ks attitude toward her, he can’t stop chasing her, he can’t stay away, and he will be dammed if any one else lays a hand on her either.

In true Amo fashion the Midnight Mayhem world is complex, with so many twists and turns you have no chance of guessing what is coming. Their are a host of secondary characters that you meet along the way that I am desperate to know more about. There is no denying the skill, and thought Amo has put into this to plot out each characters path. As you read you get the sense that she truly knows the backstory of each person you meet and that nothing is coincidental. Pacing throughout is on point, it’s so easy to build an image of everything in this world, and when Dove gets lost in the music and dances as easily as she breathes, you get lost with her. Anyone reading this book is best going along for the ride and hold on tight because once you go in, trust me you will not want to leave this masterpiece.

I don’t even know where to start with In Peace Lies Havoc! It was beyond perfect, I absolutely loved every second of it even when I was thinking what the hell is happening. King and Dove are amazing!!

This maybe my favorite Amo book! ( I know, I know I love them all. I’m also not sorry) But this book!! I have no words to describe it. She has left me speechless needing more.

Kingston Axton is hot as sin, and scary AF. He’s also the leader of the Brothers of Kiznitch. Dove Hendry is one of the fierces h I have ever read. She never backed down no matter what they throw at her. Her life was turned upside down more than once, and the last time was when she was kidnapped and forced into Midnight Mayhem.

The world of Midnight Mayhem, OMFG!! The way Amo Jones created this world and brought it to lite was unlike anything I have ever read. I felt like I was there while I was reading, like I could reach out and touch it. And the fact that she gave us sneak peeks inside this world before it was a world just made my jaw drop. If you have read Manik you know what I’m talking about.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again Amo Jones’ mind is both amazing and scary AF! The fact that she can take something as simple as a “circus” and turn it into what she does is beyond amazing. Every twist and turn left me needing more. Even when I was asking myself what was happening I was loving every second of this book!

Amo Jones delivered an absolute show stopping first book in the Midnight Mayhem series, and I’m absolutely dying waiting for what she gives us next! Everyone needs to read this book!!

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.

I have to admit, this book was not what I was expecting! When I started reading it I didn’t even think I would like it. The beginning was very slow for what was happening to the characters. Thankfully, I kept on reading and was surprised to find that it became a fast paced, addicting journey filled with darkness! Amo Jones is really good at building up dark heroes and I have seen this through many of her books. That’s not different with the men in this book! It’s also filled with the darkest twists and turns, it’s visually appealing to the reader (you’ll feel as if your visiting Midnight Mayhem yourself), and it’s got the right amount of angst to leave your heart yearning. Ladies and gents, you won’t want to miss this ride!

I’ve been trying to write this review for days now. I just don’t know how I am supposed to write something half intelligent about this book. It’s a completely wild and so unique that it should have its own genre. Amo Jones’s writing is at her best. The characters she unleashes in, In Peace Lies Havoc are completely magnetic! It’s unbelievable that I can fall for such dark character but Miss Jones; she could make me fall for the darkest, cruelest person. It’s in the way she creates her characters and the way her story flows together. Kingston and Dove, the main characters, are just remarkable.

In Peace Lies Havoc is a messed and twisted story that I can’t even attempt really critiquing for other readers. This story was so thick with sexual tension and lust that it caused a few heat strokes for myself! I want to end this review talking about Jones’ use or words, her imagery. Jones brings this world, the Midnight Mayhem world to life with words alone. It was like her letters were color; the words gave movement to her letters. It was like a painting coming into focus right before my eyes. Never, seriously N-E-V-E-R have I ever seen a story so vividly in my mind. This is beyond a talent. This is what Amo Jones should always be doing.

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.

This book was everything. Dark, twisted, deviant, erotic, mysterious, suspenseful and other worldly. I am almost at a loss of words after finishing. It was simply like no other book I have ever read. So unique.

The way the author paints a picture of this dark and trolling world of Midnight Mayhem has me transported right under the tent. There are so many twists and turns. What it starts out like is so not what it becomes. It becomes so much more. This book has not started my own addiction. I crave more.

5 Little Bird Stars

Are you ready for a little Mayhem? Amos books should come with warning labels: Will cause you bouts of insomnia, hot flashes, wet panties and the need to be choked. This right here is Amo at her absolute best, reading this just solidifies why she is Queen of Mind Fuckery!! She has crafted a multi-layered tension filled ride full of all the twist and turns that you can handle and some you can’t, keeping your ass firmly planted on the edge of your seat.

“My soul recognizes hers like an old friend, as if they’d been friends for lifetimes before ours.”

I was thoroughly engrossed in the storyline from the second I started reading. I legitimately could not put it down until I was finished. This world that she has created is unlike anything I’ve EVER read. Kingston and Dove are All. The. Things. This couple is pure freaking fire, you can feel the tension between them pour off the pages and saturate your skin, pulling you in and making you want to be a part of Amos creation. Their connection is powerful, and all-consuming burning deep and strong, following them even in the shadows. I haven’t been this attached to a couple since Bishop and Madison!!!

“I freeze at his proximity. The smell of lathered soap, honey, and ask quickly becoming a heady combination of sin.”

I loved all the characters in this story. Each one brings their own intensity and influence to the book and is completely and utterly individualized. Which is one of the things I love most about Amo. Every character she introduces is so completely different than the last. It makes you love each and every one for a myriad of different reasons, so that you have no trouble falling for them ALL.

“Well, you remember that next time you have your tongue down the devil’s throat.” He chuckles. “All things sinister taste like honey.”

When Amo said she created a new world for us she was not joking, Amo swung for the damn fences with this one! This story is infused with all the tension and heart pumping angst that we’ve come to love from Amo. But this story brings so much more. The depth with which she writes makes you feel as if you’re right there with them, having the same experiences. That is how you know Amo is an exceptional writer, when you’re not just reading a story but experiencing one!! Once you read this you will become obsessed with the Midnight Mayhem family and impatiently waiting for the next EPIC ride that we know is coming.

Amo Jones does it again and brings us a BRAND NEW series which is out of this world. It’s mind-bending, it’s twisty, it will make you wonder WTF is going on… But if you’ve read Amo’s books before, you wouldn’t expect anything less from this crazy, talented author!!! She even refers to herself in the story as someone who “drinks too much, procrastinates a lot, and is easily distracted”!! So funny!

Midnight Mayhem is one crazy bunch. It’s not a carnival and it’s not a circus act… and all of a sudden Dove finds herself caught right up in the middle of it all. After being dealt a bad time of it, thinking she has her life on some sort of track, with a job and friends, suddenly she’s taken away from the life she knew and thrust into despair. Thrust into pain and a whole new world so outside of her comforts zone.

The Brothers of Kiznitch are something else. And King is on a different level. You need to read this story, you need to get caught up in this twisted, crazy world. This story will leave you breathless, with questions after question… It will play tricks on your mind, exposing revelations you simply didn’t see coming…

I can’t wait for the second instalment to see what will happen with the other characters. There is so much that has been set up to continue, with some amazing secondary characters who all have so much to give, and of course the other brothers, that I cannot wait to read more!
