#1 Amazon Bestseller in the entire Amazon store

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.

I can’t not describe the roller coaster this book was it has EVERYTHING and more. It has spice, mystery, plot twists that you won’t see coming and romance as dark as my soul.
At the beginning you are not going to understand a thing and that is why I totally recommend that you reread the whole series because it connects with all the books and obviously Ryat, Sin, Tyson and Even Colton appear on the book.
The whole story it’s so good and keeps you glued to the book because you are not prepared for what you are going to read so hang in there and enjoy the ride.
I thought it cannot get better than Saint but after this I think I am OBSESSED with Haidyn, this man is everything!!!! And I loved him so much, he says he don’t believe in love but the way this man loves doesn’t have comparison, how he protects and how he is willing to sacrifice himself for those he love made my heart aches, you can’t imagine how much he suffers through the whole book, and I love him so much because of how beautiful his soul and heart is and when you get to the part where you read about the video you are going to be sobbing as much as I was.
Charlotte/Anabelle one of my favorite characters of the whole series, this woman is so strong and so brave and falls so strong for Haidyn against all odds, loved her, and her entire life storyline its crazy and it took a turn at the end that omg made my head spin!
By the end you are going to a little bit dizzy because of how many plot twists and then she hits you with another one!!!!!!! I kid you not! At the very end like WTF SHANTEL how are we supposed to survive now? I am so excited for the next book and I pray to Jesus its Adam’s book because you are going to fall in love a little bit more with him on this one, but I do believe she is going to leave him for the final book.
A totally gem this one! I was sobbing, kicking my feet and swooning over the whole book!

My Review: I loved this book so much; it was angsty, sexy and really fun to read. I was a little worried because I didn’t enjoy Carnage as much as I wanted to, but Madness made up for everything and soared beyond my expectations. This book was long and very satisfying. It cleared up a lot of burning questions and made much more sense in the overall storyline in my opinion. I loved how protective and self-sacrificing Haidyn was for those he loved and I enjoyed the secrets and reveals in this book much more with the added knowledge behind everything. I think the FMC is the perfect mate for him and I think they had wonderful chemistry and were explosive together. There was one thing that I didn’t quite understand as it almost felt supernatural-y (hopefully that’ll be explained better in future books); it just came out of left field. I don’t read these books for total realism though, so I didn’t overthink it too much. Overall, I highly enjoyed this story and felt the hype was real and definitely worth the wait.

OMG, this couldn't have been more perfect. I was gnawing and the bars of my enclosure waiting since reading Carnage for Haidyn's book and Shantel did not disappoint with this one. And as I predicted, cue the book hangover. I'm really impressed how so much drama, angst, twists and turns and the hottest spice scenes get packed into this series of books. Each one gets better and Madness has truly topped them all for me.

Madness is a thrilling addition to the L.O.R.D.S. series that I couldn't put down. With its captivating blend of dark romance, suspense, and a touch of twisted humor, this is a must-read for fans of the genre.

I was immediately drawn to Haidyn in Carnage, he was mysterious and ruthless and operates within the gritty underworld of the L.O.R.D.S. society. His character is complex and morally gray, making him both fascinating and terrifying. As he becomes entangled in a dangerous game of power and revenge, I found myself completely enamored with him and the story.

Shantel's writing is vivid and immersive, she creates a richly detailed world that feels both familiar and other worldly. The pacing is perfect, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. The plot is filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end.
