In Silence She Screams (Midnight Mayhem)

Always a rebel, forever a soldier, one as a lover, the other forever

Sexy carnival at its peak I would say.

This book was such a pleasant surprise that after I finished reading it, ✨this woman was too stunned to speak✨

This book had a cross over from one of Amo's other worlds, Elite Kings Club (EKC) which I did not anticipate but that only means I have to read that series as well (since some parts of the series are explained in this book). As someone who hasn't read EKC I can tell you confidently this book can still be read as a standalone in terms of EKC. As for Midnight Mayhem, it is also a standalone but I don't recommend it to be read that way.

This book was done right in terms of the pace, the revealing of the plotlines and the plot twists. I'm new to Amo and with the previous two books being average-ish this book just rolled in out of nowhere. Not that I'm complaining

This book's throuple is Kyrin, Lilith and Eli. I would classify this as a RH because none of them are monogamous and there's no label to their relationship. This is also by far the only book which had a trigger warning at the start of the book with a scale of 50/100 and I can understand why was that stated, it was the darkest so far so please proceed with caution.

Throughout the past two books Kyrin was hinted to be this psychotic dude who would kill for his loved ones. He stuck true to that impression by being hot-n-cold in this book. Usually guys with whiplash turn me off but in this book I tolerated it. Kyrin was the one who showed the least of his emotions because it truly felt like only lust to me and I would have wanted to see more of the throuple's true emotions for one another. He was also always throwing the throuple out at every chance he got which I honestly didn't like. To summarise Kyrin - he's the kind of guy who stands at the back of the room but yet his presence screams.

Lilith - I did not like her in the beginning. She portrayed herself to be overconfident, someone who shut off her emotions (if you saw my other two reviews you'd know I'm literally begging for a vocal fmc) and to me that's not being true to herself. I just can't understand why these girls think crying is a shame. While I don't like who she is as a person, I can understand why did she turn that way given her horrible, very traumatic past. I found myself tearing up for her when some of the abuse was described. No one deserves that.

Eli - the hidden King. I loved him in this book. He was the only person in the throuple who acted true to his emotions. I admire a man who doesn't hesitate to show his love and care openly and this is Eli. He didn't love one more than another, he was fair in showing his affection and I think he did his best to balance the throuple. If I had to choose a favourite in the throuple it's definitely Eli.

The ending, the plot-twist threw me off because either I'm dumb to not connect the pieces or because I was too invested in the book I just didn't see it coming. In terms of the plot and the revealing, this book had a good pace to keep you hooked. I didn't put this book down as much as the other two books.

The only reason why I'm deducting one star off is for Lilith's and Kyrin's lack of emotions. I do think it isn't fair to have Eli carry the throuple on his back with two impulsive humans. Though there wasn't any favouritism in the throuple (MM, MF, MFM) it isn't right for Eli to be the only one with emotions - I'd say it would be too exhausting dealing with Lilith and Kyrin in the long run.

I'm not ready for this series to end, I know the next book is the wrap-up of the series but this is one wild ride.
