Madness

By: Shantel Tessier

Narrated by: Desiree Ketchum, Corvin King

An all-new dark romance within the Lords world from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Shantel Tessier.

HIS SECRET

A Lord takes what he wants.

But like anything else, even he can get greedy and betray his oath.

That’s where Carnage comes in.

A Spade brother runs their prison for those who have wronged their society.

It just so happens to be where the Lords have sent me.

I VOW.

YOU VOW.

WE VOW.

Most women within the Lords don’t get the chance to prove themselves worthy of the brand or the power that comes with it, but there’s always an exception.

I’m one of them.

Finally, my time had come to be assigned to a Lord.

Not just any Lord but a Spade brother—Haidyn Jamison Reeves.

I had everything under control until he found out what I was hiding.

Everyone in our world knows the only way to get to the top is to sacrifice something the Lords want.

So, when Haidyn gave me a choice—become his toy or turn me over to the Lords—the decision was easy.

I’ve worked too hard to get this far to allow a man to take what I’ve earned.

I chose to become his dirty little secret over admitting I failed.

It didn’t take long for him to unravel my web of lies, thread by thread, until nothing was left.

He took over my life, blurring the lines until I discovered that what I thought I wanted was no longer what I needed.

But even in our world, nothing lasts forever.

Time had run out.

The hourglass lay broken on the floor, shattering not only my future but everything I knew.

I never thought that falling in love with a Spade brother would reveal so many secrets.

And when they all came to light, the Lord who blackmailed me was the only one I could count on.

What an emotional ride

I absolutely love Haidyn. He is my favorite lord beside Ryat. If you have read the other 5 I recommend finishing this book as well.

Closer to a 5

The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars for me is probably more my fault that Shantel Tessiers or the narrators. I felt like I was getting lost in some of the book. I should have gone back and re-read the others since it had been at least a year since I read them because I found myself trying to figure out who Adam was and some other parts of the storyline. However, I absolutely love Haidyn. I loved everything about him and his story and how he was continuously making so many sacrifices for everyone. I was kind of liking the twisted idea that the LORDS are being ran by women but at the same time I don't know which would be worse knowing that women are doing that to people or men.
Charlette isn't the best heroin to me but she held her own with Haidyn.
I am wondering if there is another book out there to be written for Cashton or possibly Adam because if so when would be a good time for a refresh of the entire series?

Love it

The plot twists just kept coming there were a few parts in the beginning where it kept going from past to present and I would get a little confused on if we were still in the past or back in the present but other than that, I really like the book I love all of the Lords books

The wait nearly killed me.

Shantel did soooooo good with this. As always. Now the wait begins for Kash's book.

A series of masterpieces

I never want this series to end! I love all of the books, although some resonate with me more than others—Madness might take the cake! I absolutely adore Hayden, and Corbin did a phenomenal job with the narration. I love Charlotte as well; Desiree was perfect in her narration too. I appreciate a book where the plot and twists are unpredictable, especially across an entire series. Shantel never disappoints. It's truly a masterpiece!
