This was my first listen to any books from this author and it certainly won't be the last! I was utterly blown away by this story and how dark but deep this storyline was. I was hooked and I couldn't concentrate on anything else because I wanted, no needed, to get back to the storyline and figure things out. So much mystery in this first standalone in the series.
I really like "Little Bird" and her arc in In Peace Lies Havoc. She came into her own with the Midnight Mayhem group, loved visually how the performances were described (easy to picture in my head!), loved the back and forth with the guys and some of the girls. I liked that she found friends where she could (so unhinged ones and some who created some really funny moments). Loved how you couldn't tell when someone was lying/acting or going to unleash on someone randomly haha. Really kept you on your toes to see who was loyal and who ended up being disowned, and who was just plain crazy!
I did want to shake King a ton of times but once you find out why he is the way he is, you can kinda understand. Still doesn't excuse him for treating Dove that way for the majority of the book. It took awhile for his walls to be cracked and breached and that was cool to see when Dove was able to penetrate through all the bs and stuff. The boys' relationship was confusing at times but it made sense by the end of book sorta. So many more hidden secrets to get answered in the next couple standalone romances in this series. I really was intrigued by the side characters (some will get their own story so I am super excited for all of that!!) because they all have gone through something, so they all have a sort of backbone/tenacity, but they are all so different ,
The plot is amazing too, like I thought I had an inkling for something but most of my theories were 100$ wrong haha. I thought the author did a phenomenal job weaving this story and giving us all we could ever ask for in a dark romance. Be ready for the feels and the disgust at some of the behavior and word choices (a lot done by the MMC). 5/5 highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️
Quick comment regarding the narration - new narrators to me and I thought they did a good job! I listen at 1.5X and I had no issues with their pacing or performances. I think Maeve did a really great rendition with all the up and down emotions she had to quickly go through. Especially how she had to go from deathly afraid to angry to fiesta/standing up for herself. Rip did a good job too, no constructive feedback from me. Would definitely listen to these narrators again!

About the author
5 Dark & Twisted Stars
Oh what the hell was I thinking waiting so long to read this book!!! This was my first read from Amo and definitely won't be my last since I already started In Fury Lies Mischief because I needed more of the Midnight Mayhem series. “We’ll be back, Dovey. I’ll hear you when you speak. I’ll see you where you dance. I’ll always be watching you…” This book was all kinds of suspense, intrigue, mystery and so freaking hot I was enthralled in the story. I hated putting it down, I was so consumed all I wanted to do was read because there were so many questions but not enough answers and I NEEDED those damn answers like air in my lungs. "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." King and his Little Bird dance around each other, him knowing it all will come to an end and her not understanding this pull between them. These two burn up the pages of this read with the sexual tension brewing but nothing will prepare you for the jaw-dropping twists that rock their world leaving you gasping WTH! "Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you know you love someone, or they know you love them. Sometimes, you still have to fight for it, for them." If you haven't picked up this book yet, what are you waiting for? This is one dark, twisted utterly mind-blowing read that you don't want to miss and that I highly recommend!

Five havoc stars! Welcome to madness!
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I’ve never been afraid to write reviews of all the books I read until I find myself reading an Amo Jones’ book. Her words are magic and she drags you right into her dark, crazy world. She is a master puppeteer and I’m always a willing puppet. The first time I read In Peace lies Havoc I was left speechless. I didn’t have the words but I just couldn’t put it down. I forgot the world around me. That’s why I had to re-read it and I’m still trying to wrap my head around this twisted storyline that waves madness, mystery and dark romance.Alejandra Tolentino (Cocky Reader)Five havoc stars!

Welcome to the danger zone! Dark? Fantasy? Or a complete mindfuck? I was so captivated by this tale that has mind games, angst, murders, gangs / mobs, plot twist, Stockholm syndrome, madness and a lot more. In Peace lies Havoc is a wicked experience that only Amo Jones can deliver. The shocking twists and turns kept me on edge.
Kingston and Dove’s story was filled with crazy and sexy sexual tension. This couple is pure fire. Their connection is strong and all consuming, burning and wild. Their chemistry was out the charts and the shadowy secrets between them make this book a suspenseful work of art.
A little bird with broken wings.
A Shadow lurking in the dark.
Mind Tricks. Stunts. Deceit. Power.
Midnight Mayhem is made from nightmares and the more you immerse yourself in this world, the more you’ll be questioning your sanity. It bleeds darkness. It is madness. Angels, demons and creepy clowns will make you doubt reality. It is decadent.
The way the world of Midnight Mayhem came together is insane. Deliciously dark, sensual, deviant and completely spellbinding. Every piece of this work of art was meticulously crafted by Amo Jones in a way that it only can be described as mind-games. Midnight Mayhem is more than a simple circus, it is insanity wrapped in depravity. From the black and lilac tent to the Kiznitch star, to the crazy show in which each performance is dangerous and sinful. However its main act is the Brothers of Kiznitch (four messed up men who are insanely sexy and sinister as hell). The enigmatic energy that pulses through them is sinfully hot. They owned me. I can’t say I have a favorite but who cares. I don’t mind sharing *kidding or not?*.
Every dark romance lover needs to read this book.
