Reviews with content warning for Rape - Carnage

I thought I loved the first books in this series Ryat and Sin and Tyson but in comes Saint. The back and forth the passion and his friends! I love all of them and the story line. Ashtyn is the strongest female character I’ve read in a long time and is truly an inspiration and unapologetically herself. I really hope we get another L.O.R.D.S. book!

Read as part of book club as a standalone. It was easy enough to pick up the world. Thankfully I read it through kindle unlimited so I didn’t have to pay for it. The first half of the book was pure p*rn which I devoured and appreciated. The rest of this review involves spoilers.
The second half just fell to pieces. The author seemed to suddenly remember that her characters - like the therapist - were missing names and so named them. It also introduced a bunch of other side characters with no identifying features making it impossible to tell who was who - they even threw in some surprise twins just to prevent the effort it would take to make up a better plot. Not to mention the whole fake death situation. Just plain confusing - even the characters don’t really seem to know what happened by the end. But that’s fine, they only have a 2d brain anyway as they have no character aside from being s*x addicts - even 50 shades had more character building than this!

So much goes on in this book and it’s just wow. But there is a plot twist I didn’t see coming that had me stopping my car to listen without distraction. At this point I love all of these books in this standalone series and it’s hard to pick a favorite now. Hayden is my favorite and he’s not even the main main character. I loved this book and the characters and the storyline. All of it.

So… the Spade Brothers 💀🔥♥️🥹🥵

I quite enjoyed the plot and pacing on this one; there was the obligatory dark romance trope, but also some good thriller elements, unexpected twists, and admittedly tear jerking moments.

Even though the LORDS series can be read as standalones, I stand by the author's suggestion to read them in order, as this one specifically involved a lot of callbacks to both The Sinner and The Sacrifice. This book almost felt like a conclusion to the series, tieing in previous characters and wrapping up plot points, so I am very curious what to expect with Madness (releasing at the end of the year).

Favorite quote: “There is no God here, sweetheart. Make no mistake, you will kneel for me, but the things I have planned for you are anything but holy.”
