Amo Jones - In Peace lies Havoc (Midnight Mayhem #1)



My name is Dove Hendry.

I was captured by darkness.

They groomed me for Midnight Mayhem. Like a trained possession, weak against their control.

But Midnight Mayhem was the stained glass that concealed a very dark culture.

Mind-tricks.

Stunts.

Deceit.

But thereโ€™s something uglier that has been haunting me for years upon years. So ugly that I have never seen itโ€™s face. I never had to. Iโ€™d hear his whispers through my internal screams, feel his shadow brush against my nightmares. He was my the monster that tormented me.

When I started Midnight Mayhem, his presence faded.

His whispers were silenced.

His shadow dissolving without a trace.

I wondered why that was.

Review
5+ Stars




When I started this book I was a bit confused. Like walking thru a dream. You see so many things, but the pieces don't quite fit together or make sense.

But you keep going and eventually the dream clears and you see everything for what it is and what it is meant to be. Mind blowing. 

I am in love with every single character, and the role they play in the story as a "whole". They each are important in a way that pulls all the small nuances together that make Dove and King's story more than a nightmare. More than a dream. More than anything they could have imagined. The push and pull between the two is tortuous at times, HOT at times, and frustrating at times (more than I care for). 

But once all the secrets start spilling out and their story unfolds, WOW, they will capture your attention and you better hold on. 

**We also get a few cameos of some of Amo's other characters, which is great (more reading for me because I'm not caught up on her whole library).

And now we wait for the next circuit of Midnight Mayhem to start........
