Madness: A Dark Revenge Romance
New York Times Bestselling author of Chaotic An all-new dark romance within the Lords world is coming 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.

It hurts me to have to give this book anything less than 5 stars. I have rated all the others with an easy 5 stars. This book was.... so freaking long. And I get it, I know a lot had to be covered but damn. It was too long. The same information could have been explained without the constant flashbacks and retelling and repetitiveness of it all. I did not like the FMC, Charlotte. She was extremely unlikeable about as unlikeable as Ashtyn. I didn't care for her at all. I didn't care if she succeeded or if she failed, I was not invested in her character development at all. I enjoyed getting to know Haidyn and the inner workings of his mind and vulnerabilities but again, it was too long. I usually love the plot twists that Shantel drops in the ending of her books, tying all the lose threads together in a pretty knot. This book was very messy. Even in the end, it was messy. There was a lot of information that was just not relevant even after tying it to something else. I'm hoping all the bs in the ending with the relation of the "treatments" will be worth it in the next book because if not.... wtf was the point except as filler. The spice was good, the praise kink was definitely there and on full display. I found it interesting though that you didn't get that feral possessiveness from Haidyn that we got from all the other MMCs and I think that can be attributed to the internal conflict that he experienced with falling for the FMC. It was sort of this forbidden revenge plot that turned around in addition to him letting go of whatever feelings he struggled with for Ashtyn.
