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 Jones has created a new genre – Amorotica. There’s nothing that compares to it. It’s edgy, erotic, enticing, and I never want this new Midnight world to end! IPLH is A Jones’ BEST writing to date! In true Amo-fashion, she has created a world that is oh-so easy to escape to. It holds every fantasy, gorgeous being, and magical and suspenseful scenes that you just do not want to disappear or end. I did NOT want this book to end! Not only did I fall completely in love with Dove & King, but with every single character to grace the pages of this book (including some surprise cameos!)!!!
With each page, I was lured in by these salacious anti-heroes – the Brothers of Kiznitch. They are dark, powerful, intimidating, and very, very bad. My favorite type of hero. And like a drug, I was addicted…I wanted to not only experience the high they brought, but also every anticipated crash. I found myself living every scene of this book – dancing on the stage with Dove, running through the forest hiding, joking and flirting with the Brothers on the RV…because that is what A Jones does – she writes stories that you can’t help but immerse yourself in.
This book embodies everything I love about reading….it’s an escape, a fantasy, magical, erotic, sexy, suspenseful, and creates a world that I could run away to. I felt every touch and kiss, and experienced each twist and turn with quick breaths and a racing heart. A Jones brought her A-game and took it to the next level, and I am more than ready to RUN AWAY WITH THE CARNIVAL that is Midnight Mayhem. Bravo A Jones!!….I am ready for your encore.
Amo Jones proved once again why she is my favorite author. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to write this review without cursing because she has evoked so much emotion in me. I don’t know how to contain myself and I don’t know if I want to. I didn’t read her book, I consumed it. Her worlds are imbedded inside my mind forever and Midnight Mayhem owns my soul. This is my favorite book by her to date. I can’t stop thinking about it. It has replayed in my mind daily since I read it. It’s an endless loop of dangerous and delicious, spine-chilling and seductive, petrifying and perfection. And overarching all consumption. This book is going to BLOW. YOUR. MIND.
The brothers of Kitznitch are going to rock your world. They are vicious, merciless, and downright dirty. They don’t care about anyone but themselves…until Dove. She wasn’t supposed to get to them. She was a pawn in their game, but when they find out just how special she is everything changes. And Dove, she’s been through so much but continues to come out alive. Kingston and Dove will leave you on edge. They will have you pulling your hair out with frustration, but also fanning yourself from the intensity.
If someone told me I was only able to read one book for the rest of my life, I would choose IPLH. If I could only recommend one book for the rest of my life, it would be IPLH. I loved the world of the Midnight Mayhem series so much and I want everyone to take a chance on it. You won’t regret it.
This book is a complete standalone, but for anyone who has previously read Amo’s work you’re gonna love this. Keep your eyes open at all times because she gives us so much in this one book!
She told us it was new. She warned us that it was different. I was not prepared for her vivid portrayal of the sinister world of Midnight Mayhem. I was hooked from the prologue. She took me on a ride of darkness, betrayal and deviant behavior that, honey, I don’t ever want to jump off of.
The provocative and dangerous nature of Midnight Mayhem draws you in and holds you prisoner, with The Brothers Kiznitch leading the pack. Throw in the feisty, alluring Dove Hendry and you have a recipe of intense seduction like no other.
I’m going to sound like a broken record here but this is her best work yet. Her writing is flawless, her characters are captivating and this storyline has its own unique flair that only Amo could attain. She continues to amaze me and I will happily follow her wherever this crazy train takes us.
Oh my!
Absolutely captivating! With every book that Amo writes I think now this, this one is my favorite. Well folks this one is my favorite.
We’ve gotten a taste of Midnight Mayhem before but now we get to go deep into this mind blowing experience. And Dove and Kingston well they are exactly what we love about this authors characters. He’s scary, he will notice you and geez he’s magnificent.
I can not wait to see where we go next with this amazing and daring series. Absolutely loved it!!!

In peace lies Havoc is a new series from Amo Jones.
What a start it is, this book pulls you in from the start with great characters Kingston and Dove are amazing. Great story-line and just the right amount of angst. This book I read in one sitting I really couldn’t put it down. it has a couple of twists I didn’t see coming. Amo’s writing just gets better and better with each book. I can’t wait for the next one in this series I am left wanting more
Well Amo Jones has well and truly killed this book as well as another little piece of my soul!
She gave us heartache and drama like no other and her talent for throwing in so many twists and turns had my nerves shot but my mind blown.
Our introduction to Midnight Mayhem left me craving so much more and I can’t wait to see where else she takes this series because I’m my opinion this was her best work yet!
“You see, when I was a little girl, a shadow chased me. An entity. Instead of stepping out from behind it to feel the sun against my skin, this shadow ruined every expectation I had of seeing the light.”
Wow.
This. Book.
I couldn’t prepare myself. F**k me. Amo weaves the most incredible, imaginative stories, and this Blew. Me. Away.
Midnight Mayhem was so well described, I wanted to be there.
The Brothers of Kiznitch were hotttttt. All of them. The chemistry between Dove and King…explosive. The story sucked me in from the beginning, and I blew everything off to finish it.
I’ve never read anything like this, it was kind of like The Night Circus meets Cirque Du Soleil meets the sexiest strip show you’ve ever seen, sprinkled with an insane mystery with a touch of magic. Oh, and did I mention the hot sex ? And that’s not even close to describing Midnight Mayhem, and IPLH.
If you like a mind f**k, rollercoaster ride, YOU NEED THIS BOOK.
Loved it loved it loved it.
In true Amo Jones’ fashion, she brings us into a new world and forces us to love her characters and the world she has created.
I have been dying to read In Peace Lies Havoc since Amo dropped the first teaser and my excitement just grew with the more information shared about the book. Amo doesn’t disappoint with this book, it was everything I was hoping it would be and so much more.
I loved all the brothers and Kohen (I’m secretly hoping he is going to get his own book)
Dove is the kind of female character I love, she’s had a hard life and has some secrets, some she herself is keeping but she doesn’t realise. Her whole character intrigued me.
Amo Jones pulled me into the story from page 1 and kept me hooked all throughout the book, there were so many twists and turns to the story that I ended up with whiplash. I could read Amo’s books all day every day. She definatley has a way with words which I love. I can’t wait to read more books in the Midnight Mayhem series!
Do you want to go on a dark, twisted, sexy journey? Cause THIS is the book for exactly that. I am absolutely in love with this story! It’s addicting. It’s sexy. It’s so damn good! The characters are deep and mysterious. Amo knocked this book out of the park and then some. Absolute perfection! Each twist I didn’t see coming and I can usually nail them quickly. But oh no…she made this book her bitch! I devoured it and I’ll definitely be reading it again. It’s that damn good!!
Simply put, this book is like a drug. It should really come with a warning label, if we’re being honest. Caution, this story alters your perception of reality. It twists your brain, accelerates your heart rate, makes your blood pump faster and it may cause dizziness and disorientation. It’s messy and confusing and delightfully dark. In Peace Lies Havoc is a sinful walk on the wild side that will test your hard limits and frequently call in to question your own sanity.
I spent a VERY large amount of time trying to untangle all the plot twists and figure out what the big turning point was going to be, and in the end I still didn’t see it coming. This book reads a lot like a mystery thriller with threads of dark romance woven in throughout. It’s not your typical love story, the characters clash and ignite. You’ll frequently wonder if they are falling in love or hate, and damn if that isn’t the recipe for one heck of an amazing story.
Dove is this beautiful contradiction, so spirited and also broken. She’s so easy to fall for with her uncanny ability to attract trouble and lure all the monsters to come out and play with her different sides. I adore her. But of course, this wouldn’t be an AJ book without a truly deranged and yet totally lovable psychopath that you end up falling for. King is all that and then some, even I had moments where I wondered if he’d ever be able to redeem himself and yet I just wanted to lick his face and claim him for myself.
I really just enjoyed everything about this book. The depravity is nothing short of fascinating, Midnight Mayhem is certainly not for the faint of heart as it really does push you to the edge while forcing you to take a long hard look at where your own morals are hiding in the shadows. But if dark romance is your jam, if you enjoy the madness and seduction that comes with dancing the line of sinful and wrong, then you should definitely read this one.
„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…”
Amo fucking Jones. Insanely fancy mind and brilliant storyteller. She’s the only one who can create a story that has no right to exist in the real world, but which still amazes with its reality. The world of Midnight Mayhem has its own laws that do not apply to mere mortals. Like Alice who fell into a rabbit hole, you are sucked into a completely different dimension and everything you read in this story makes you shocked, amazed and extremely excited at the same time. You’d better fasten your seatbelts, because In Peace Lies Havoc is a wild ride!
Kingston and Dove’s story is crazy, filled with many twists and turns, but also romantic in its own way and this is the biggest surprise for me because I didn’t expect it in the slightest.
Kingston stole my heart. This commanding, intense and dangerous guy had all my attention as soon as he appeared. His presence caused butterflies in my stomach and nervousness at the same time. I wanted nothing more than to get inside his head to know all his thoughts and desires. He’s so damn delicious that I could left some drool on my Kindle. Dayum!
Dove was a harder nut to crack for me because I was discovering this heroine piece by piece. But every novelty made me like and admire her character more and more. This girl is tough, brave and taking into consideration everything she has gone through so far you have nothing else to do but to give this girl your respect and admiration. But let’s be honest, hell will freeze sooner than Amo will give us a weak heroine.
Maybe the main couple is stealing the show in this story, but that doesn’t mean that there are no other important characters here. Brothers of Kiznitch will blow your mind, take your breath away (along with your panties) and make you OBSESSED. I certainly am.
Jones gave us a world full of fantasies and desires that are waiting for the fulfillment inside the Midnight Mayhem tent. With her incredible ability to charm reader’s mind with her words, she’s making us move to another world. A world that’s dangerous, surprising and sexy. Buy your ticket, sit down comfortably and enjoy the show, because Amo Jones proved once again that SHE IS THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.
Ya’ll… Have you ever heard the phrase: YOU ARE NOT READY? Well, believe me when I say, YOU ARE NOT FREAKING READY! If you have any notion of starting the book and reading just a little in between whatever is on your schedule, THINK AGAIN! You better clear your schedule for this one!
Amo has a way of pulling you in and keeping you engrossed until you look up and it’s 3 am on Daylight Savings Tim night and you realize that you don’t even care about not gaining your extra hour of sleep because you just read the most amazing book! I can’t even begin to tell you about this book because it is something you need to read for yourself. Just do yourself a favor and get lost in the Midnight Mayhem of this book!!! You won’t regret it!
Wow Amo Jones just gave us a story that was both captivating and engrossing. In Peace Lies havoc is the first book in the Midnight Mayhem series and I couldn’t put it down.
This heart-pounding storyline was fast-paced and unpredictable, with secrets, lies, mystery, suspense and nail biting twists and turns that will have you at the edge of your seat. She created a world that was unique and edgy and will create havoc with your mind. Yes Amo Jones gets top marks for creativity and world-building.
The characters were flawed and complex and you will love every single one of them as you easily become invested in the story. With alpha males, a feisty heroine and a cast of fascinating secondary characters, you won’t know who to trust or what to expect and you will be taken on a wild ride.
This novel was well-written and layered and a phenomenal start to this series. Worthy of a 5 star status I loved it and can’t wait for the next book in the series. I would highly recommend this page-turner to all lovers of dark romances.
“I’ll hear you when you speak. I’ll see you where you dance. I’ll always be watching you…”
Amo Jones slayed me with book. I could not put this book down once I picked it up. It captured me.. mind, body, and soul. The darkness speaks to my soul. I had no idea what was going to happen going into this story, but it definitely wasn’t THAT.
In Peace Lies Havoc is a dark and gritty read that had me hanging by a thread from page one. Amo always does this to me. She pulls me in with her words and leaves me with my jaw on the floor when I’m finished. I don’t know how to function after reading this.
“If you want to break free, Little Dovey, I would advise you not to scream.” His other hand comes up to the front of my throat, and he clenches. “It gets my dick hard, and you don’t want that.”
Dove and Kingston.. holy mother of sexual tension. You could cut it with a knife it was so thick. Their chemistry was explosive. Their personalities clashed.
I am so HERE for the rest of Amo’s words. I am not ready to leave this world and have to wait for the next book. Once again, she has sucked me in and left me wanting more. Even though this was Kingston and Dove’s story, I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS. I still want more! I don’t want to have to wait. **insert toddler tantrum**
But honestly, Amo couldn’t have written a better story. I truly love her darkness that she puts into her stories. Her writing is so unique and I love every single word. I can’t wait to see what she brings next!
Overall Rating – +
Wow! Did that really have to end? I want to get whisked away and taken into the Mayhem. I can’t dance for shit but I’ll do anything, clean their floors, RV windows, anything!
I love when you sit down with one of your favorite authors new books, there is an excited calmness that takes over and when reading that first page, you just know that she has you again, owning the next 6 hours of your life!
This new world that she has created is so detailed, that you could imagine all the details around you, not only with the surroundings but down to the kind of clothes they wear, their drinks and the music . Midnight Mayhem is sexy, alluring, dangerous and throw in the Brothers of Kiznitch with their darkness and I was a goner.
We start with Dove being taken and thrown into the Midnight Mayhem world where she it to participate in the acts, something she isn’t sure on but has no choice in. She’s put with the brothers to be part of their act but has no idea if it will kill her or not.
There is an inarguable chemistry between Dove and King that you can feel from the moment they meet and you can’t help but smile at the knowing sexual tension growing in abundance between them and can only sit back and wait for it to snap. One thing for sure, Amo can write a sex scene, they are dirty, filthy and embody her alphas nature. That cage scene was !
The brothers are equally intriguing with their own darkness and unique personalities – Killian, Kyrin, Keaton, their stories are sure to be as thrilling.
King is like any of Amo’s alphas. He’s brooding, dark, threatening, holds such a presence on the page and what I love overall is the demanding, sexy, possessive nature they have and King oozes it.
Dove’s character is probably my favorite heroine of Jones. She lost her parents when she was young and has had to deal with life herself. She’s real, at times vulnerable, but doesn’t let her emotions run her. Dance is her outlet and she’s pretty good at it, hypnotizing those with her flawless moves.
The story is thrilling with mystery and suspense and I don’t want to say to much on it so it can be enjoyed fully but I will say it is an incredible read that you won’t be able to put down.
IPLH is Amo’s new series and is a standalone book with further books coming in the series. If your a lover of dark romance, do not pass this book up. Midnight Mayhem completely owned me and like all readers of this book, I’m now desperate for more and another top read of 2019 for me that will be a re-read soon. I couldn’t get enough of King and Dove!

This is the 1st book in a new series from this gifted author, and what a unique and memorizing tale this is! Once again this author has upped the ante, and brought to us a dark and hypnotic tale which is dark, and with drama, twists, and a riveting and intricate plot, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend this for readers who love expect the unexpected stories. I am blow away, and cannot wait to read the 2nd book in this phenomenal series.
Wow!
Jones once again twists reality to where I no longer question the improbable
Instead of seeing it as plausible and consuming it
like a fine chardonnay
I was a bit confused in the beginning
Still pulling out my hair over a third of the way through
I wanted the answers, not just the causes
Dove: Light, a survivor, trying to stay one step ahead of the Shadow,
drowning in its darkness. Honest
Kingston: ” strong, assertive, broody, intense, liar”
Killian: ” playful, devious, trickster, liar”
Keaton ” confident, skeptical, careful, liar”
Kyrian ” manic, rage, anger, resentment, liar”
As the story progressed it was as though the insanity was contagious
– Everything clicked –
– It made sense –
IPLH drags the reader into a world where brutality and mind games are the norms
led by a twisted cast of freaks that live behind the curtain entertaining our darkest desires.
(The freak thing is sort of under the radar – another thing that took me a bit to catch on too but when it is exposed so many more pieces fall into place )
I had the opportunity to read an ARC copy that was still facing final edits
This is my thoughts on the copy I read
I have been sooo excited for this book and this new world from one of my favorite authors, Amo Jones. And holy shit, she did not disappoint with this first installment in the Midnight Mayhem series. This book is a sexy mindfuck! It is a wild, dangerous ride from start to finish. If you like your reads sinfully dark and delicious, you are not going to want to miss this series!
Um… Ahhhh. Holy s$&%! Ok I knew going in that Amo was going to mess and blow my mind but… I’m at loss for words and still trying to find the top of my head that blew off. This woman only gets better and better with each new book and In Peace Lies Havoc has me speechless. This is one read that if I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Brilliance thy name is Amo Jones!
