In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones
4.0
dark emotional tense slow-paced

 Oh my gosh, I enjoyed this so, so much. The relationship between King and Dove is intense, sexy, lusty, confusing, and so much fun. I adore the “I hate everyone but you” trope and the overprotective hero. I enjoyed the way Amo Jones wove together the story of the circus/carnival and the mafia families. It demanded my attention from every page because I HAD TO KNOW what was going on and why. There was so much intrigue and mystery. It also had elements of ballet, and dark carnivals, and I love those themes. There was some kink in here that I don’t necessarily jive with (at least I think it would be called kink?) but see nothing wrong with it being in the book because it makes sense for the characters (and I also am not judging ANYONE if that IS their kink). There were some proofreading issues that I think I can blame on the editor more so than Amo Jones. There weren’t tons but there were enough typos for me to notice. It didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment though. As always, check your triggers–it’s called a dark romance for a reason.
