In Chaos We Reign

In Chaos We Reign Midnight Mayhem #4

Amo Jones2022
I was the trick that they could never play. She was the greatest game of all… There was elegance that comes from being carved from the ashes of all the darkness that surrounds you in the world. You start as dust, and you end as dust. At least that’s what I always thought. Crowned Princess Mayhem all my life became old fast, and I found myself forging my iron crown with the blood of our enemies. To The Brothers of Kiznitch, I was nothing but a little brat that always got my way. I was the sister none of them asked for, but they’d find themselves needing. He was no different. Loving Keaton Cicero was never going to be easy. There was evil within him that would never be accepted. They thought their over-protectiveness had kept me safe all these years, but they were wrong. Everything they thought they knew, was about to burn around them. I wasn’t someone who needed protecting… They were. This can be read as a stand-alone, but it is recommended to read In Silence She Screams first to better understand some story points.

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and options are my own. What an absolute wild ride! I’m so sad that this series is over, but it ended with a bang. Seriously, my head is still spinning from the lies, secrets, diversions, and endless mayhem. I will forever love Amo’s writing style. She really knows how to suck you into such an interwoven series and two separate “worlds”. I loved seeing some many familiar faces and learning so much about Keaton & Cartier. Their dynamic is one for the books. I don’t want to say much because I feel like I’ll give something away, but make sure you read books 1-3 before you read this one and if you can, just go in blind. It makes for a much better reading experience. And if you’re familiar with Amo’s work, you know nothing is ever what it seems. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I fixate on one of the demons that’s tatted over the front of his throat. He called it my pet when I was 12 years old. He tried to use it to scare me into thinking if I ever got a boyfriend, it would come out and kill him. Never thought much about that until right now.” Keaton and Cartier, ARC Review. Firstly, thank you to Amo for always knowing how to f *ck me good, and taking me on these rollercoaster rides. And to social butterfly for sending me this ARC! I feel bleessseeedd. If you think you know the direction the book is going, or where Amo is taking you… Just, you’re wrong. She bends and twists and comes back only to slap you across the face with something you weren’t expecting at all! These two were everything I hoped they would be snd more! A great ending to this amazing series. Right from the get go, you have the spice, the sass, the mood.. I want to read it all over again just to be taken back into their world. 200% MUST READ! Although, if you haven’t read in silence she screams, it is recommended you read that one first to understand some of the plot points. **If you have triggers, please proceed with caution as there are themes and scenes that are not for the faint of heart** That being said, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS RELEASE!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Stars: 4.5 Spice: 3.5 MF | 4th and final book in the Midnight Mayhem series Wow. What a ride Midnight Mayhem has been. In Chaos We Reign was the perfect conclusion to this world I’ve come to love so much. Amo really kept me guessing until the very end, as per usual. I was mind blown by the plot twists, which just kept coming! Keaton and Cartier have that insane and borderline toxic chemistry that I love so much with Amo’s characters. There are so many secrets between these two, big secrets that have the power to change everything. Answers don’t come easy, but the build up just makes the payoff that much sweeter. I loved how we got more character crossover from EKC, and they were actually a pretty big part of the plot! My only wish was more closure from the In Silence She Screams storyline. I’m going to really miss the MM crew!

Love isn’t supposed to be perfect either. Love is supposed to be whatever the fuck you want it to be.

This is family. It’s love. It’s hate. It’s an unimaginable amount of patience. It’s peace with a little havoc, fury with a smidge of mischief, screaming when being silenced, and finally a little chaos when we reign.

We perform crazy acts in front of strangers, dress up like little monsters after the clock strikes twelve, but at the end of the night, when the curtains close and the show is over, we’re just this.

Midnight Mayhem.

I cried with this ending 😭😭

My life is full of messy people who don’t always make the right choices. They screw up as often as I do, fight, fuck, and argue.

I’ve loved Cartier from the second I met her, but I fell in love with her gradually as time went on.

Betrayal is an emotion weaved with simplicity. Betrayal is poison, and once you taste it, you can’t get it out.

“In our messed-up way, the cherry will always symbolize our bond. We grew as a pair from the earth and shared the same flesh and blood. When one is disconnected from the other, we rot and die. I rot… and die.”

I don’t need to know Cartier all of my life to know who she is. You can’t put time on a bond that burns endlessly.

A killer can still love. A killer’s love is as violent as the art in which they take lives.”

Loving someone is allowing them to give themselves to you. It’s a promise that you’re not going to break them.

“When I leave, no one is gonna come near you with their dick because any time they try, they’ll feel mine still inside of you.” His tongue swirls with mine, and I tilt my head to the side to give him more access. Keaton kisses like he fucks. Like he owns it.

That sound was definitely a whimper

He stops where my thigh meets my center. “She knows she’s mine, and when you’ve been fucked by a savage…” His finger slips between my folds and I cling to him like a nightmare, my eyes closing. “…a prince is hardly going to hit the spot.”

“This…” he whispers into my ear, all while never letting up. “Will be the last time I fuck you for you. Next time I see you? It’s gonna be for me.”

Keaton destroyed me 🫠

“Good girl.” I release her throat and dip my fingers into her mouth. She clenches around my cock and I feel my balls stiffen. “You want more?”

“Unfortunately for you, what I’m into, you won’t learn on Pornhub.”

P0rnhub doesn’t hold a candle to what dark romance books have. Read romance, people.

“Ever sucked a man’s dick before? And careful with how you answer because I’m already treading a fine line with fucking you how you need to be fucked, and how I actually do fuck.”

The fucking Ice Queen of Kiznitch. No shit. She earned that name, not from her teal hair the color of water when it freezes over the ocean bed, but because that’s exactly what she is. A cold ass bitch.

I’m going to ruin, fuck, break, and mend this girl back together.

My hand flies to her throat and I force her lips up onto mine. Fuck. Her lips taste like candy, but her tongue is a weapon.

“There isn’t a person I wouldn’t kill for you.” He pulls away, leaving me to decipher his words. “If anything, it helps…” he finishes, running his palm over his face. “But you already know that.”

The sexual tension is all in my head. All one-sided. He’s merely comforting little Ice Princess of Mayhem, all while I’m drooling over my brother’s best friend.

Darkness hovers over him everywhere he goes, and no matter what he does, he’ll never be rid of it.
