5.0

I'm trying to figure out how to even write a review for the "madness" in this book. It's 800 pages of pure, beautiful depravity, twists, turns, body heat, secrets, surprises and omg so much happens!! After how many months of edging, we FINALLY get Haidyn's book. Haidyn, the second Spade Brother to be written about, and I knew I would love him. 

This book is mainly about Carnage and Haidyn. Haidyn's main girl is Charlotte, but she's not a typical Chosen or Lady. She's his because he gave an ultimatum and he wants her to be, and his little pet. She chooses to be. For many reasons. 

As things start unraveling and Haidyn finds out more about Charlotte, their hearts tangle and what should just be used and tossed in typical fashion becomes something more. 

There is a reunion of sorts in this book and we get to see a lot of cameos and characters and flashbacks from the previous LORDS books and Carnage. So much more is explained and as Shantel can do so well, they are interwoven to connect dots and bring things to light. 

The LORDS and Spades are not for the faint of heart. Read them in order. It's important. Take a deep breath and make sure you have fresh undies! Haidyn is here. 🤣
