A PUPPET

The men in the secret society known as the Lords think they rule the world. And in a way, they do. Each has sold their soul to the devil at a young age in exchange for power and wealth. Like anything else, they have different levels of success. The more they’re willing to serve, the more power they have.

Among them are the Spade brothers, who run Carnage. It’s where the Lords who have not held up their oath go to live out the rest of their lives in shackles. Tucked away from the world as if they never existed.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

I once belonged to a Lord—Saint Beckham Carter. Although nothing was holy about him, I still kneeled as if he could grant me eternity in a world where only evil existed.

At the time, I willingly vowed to be his and allowed him to share me with his “brothers.” But things changed. And what I thought couldn’t get any better got exceptionally worse. So I did the only thing I could and ran from him, knowing I could never return.

Now he’s found me and dragged me back to his hell, where he will make me his pet. The world already thinks I’m dead, so no one will miss me. And I’m just another name on a long list of those who will never know freedom.What he doesn’t know is why I ran from him in the first place. A Lord doesn’t listen to reason, so it’s not like he’d care anyway. Saint was born a Lord, and he will die as one.

If life has taught me anything, it’s that we all pay for our sins. And Saint will never let me forget that my place is at Carnage, serving him on my knees until death is granted.

Damn!

Great series! Would love to hear more on Cash and Hayden. Hopefully there’s more to cum!

“I Vow, U vow. We Vow”

Okay so Carnage was straight up fire and brimstone! How can one read hold so many secrets? So many answers? Just so much? I was drooling with Tyson and Laykens story…but Saint and Ashton’s, wow. Just wow. In their world love just isn’t a thing. It’s Lords for Lords. Lady’s are just there to do her Lords bidding but Saint is absolutely obsessed with Ashton. Even from a young age…When it came time for him to have a chosen who do you think he wanted…but will his obsession end after his year with her or will he desire her for life as his lady?!
I mean Carnage is where dreams go to die, to wither away until nothing is left of them, mind, body or soul.

The twists and turns

The way she lined up the previous books to fit into the twists and turns of this book is next level foreshadowing. Saint is my favorite so far but Sin is a close second. I am really waiting for Haidyns story as something tells me he’s going to be the most savage teddy bear. And then there is Teddy Hamilton - I mean you just can’t go wrong with him top tier narration across the board even the female.

All the emotions

Shantel does it again. Love the plot. Love the characters. LOVE THE SPICE ! Keep up the good work.

Amazing as expected

First book of this series that made me cry! Such a great read!!! I was not disappointed.

wonderful

I loved this book. It's up there with The Ritual and The Sacrifice. 10/10 star recommendation from me.

Mind blown

I think this book was my fav out of the series! I kept wanting more. I love both the narrators, that’s how I found this series!

Five very dark stars!!!!

I have read other Shantel Tessier books and love her dark mind. Maybe it's been a while, but this book had my mouth wide open the entire time. It was very dark, very spicy, and very suspenseful. I loved the audio and the narrators, but honestly there were times it was so dark and suspenseful. I switched to reading it because the narrators made it too real :-) and then back to audio.

Good way to end a series

Very good ending to wrap up the series. It brought characters from all of the books and even made connections. Before I was to into the book I had a feeling it was gonna be first half explain what happened to Ashton and then second half current. I honestly think the author could’ve shortened this to a couple of chapters because some stuff was repeated, but it did give good context for part 2. Their were some parts were I did get confused from what was happening, but it later got retold or connected together. I will also always love Teddy Hamilton and Michelle Sparks as narrators. Their also wasn’t as much spicy scenes as what I thought their would’ve been, but they were pretty good for what they had. I honestly wish the author put more spicy scenes with Hayden and Cashton, it would’ve elevated it to another level. Overall a good book/series to listen to if you wanting to get into dark romance or explore more of it.

Details

It’s amazing with the story details and how the main female is very protective and the male lead is as well. It’s so good I can’t stop listening.
