2.5

2.5 stars purely for entertainment value.
The FMC needs serious therapy. 
The second half of this book was messy, and the flashbacks were repetitive. 
MMC isn't "morally grey," he's abusive.
I've read other books from the L.O.R.D.S series, so I went into this with a fairly open mind.. overall, I was disappointed.

I’m begging and pleading on my knees for one of these girls to run as far away as they can. I was ROOTING for Ash, but that dumb dumb had to get caught. I just want ONE FUCKIN GIRL TO LIVE HER LIFE SAFE AND HAPPY FAR AWAY FROM THESE LORDS.

Also, the plot is so all over the place, last 100 pages never make sense but I stay for the smut.

Carnage is a dark revenge romance- check TW before going in! And while it's not required to read the rest of the Lords series before hand- I definitely recommend it.

Ashtyn was set to become a Lord's chosen one- and not just any Lord, but Saint Carter- one of the Spade Brothers who is set to run Carnage. And as a Chosen, Ashtyn belongs to Saint- but when things get complicated - Ashtyn must make an impossible choice. She tries to run... Only to be dragged right back. But now instead of Saint's love, she is faced with his revenge. Will Ashtyn survive, or will Carnage be the death of her? 

So, ai absolutely love Shantel's books- she is the queen of dark romance & I devour everything she writes- and Carnage is no different. 

I loved Saint & Ashtyn's story. It was hot & spicy & dark & twisted and I loved every second of it. 

Saint was dark and wicked and down right delicious. If you love diving into the deep end, and love the depravity then I definitely recommend this book. 
5⭐ out of 5⭐

5🌶️ out of 5🌶️. - s*x over plot & in detail. All the k!nks, spice, & dirty talk, etc. 

Tropes: 
→ dark romance 
→ new adult romance
→ secret society 
→ revenge romance 
→ sharing 😏 (NOT an RH)
→ possessive/OTT Hero 
→ touch her & 💀
