In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones

5.0

In Peace Lies Havoc. Truer words have never been spoken. I’ve just finished my reread of this amazing book. I forgot how much I love Dove and Kingston and all the Brothers of Kiznitch. I would honestly be their driver just so I could see them.

Dove is such a strong character and I am convinced that Amo can’t not write strong beautiful inspiring women. Despite all that life has thrown at her. Despite everything that’s happened, she’s still a beautiful soul who is such a bright light. Some of my favorite scenes were when Dove was dancing. I felt so lost in her world, so captivated. I’m not a professional dancer or a ballet dancer or any of those but I do cheer dance(not the shake your pompoms kind but the hip hop intense kind)and I know how amazing and wonderful it feels to just get lost in the music and dance and Amo captured that so perfectly. Kingston was such a complex character. He didn’t talk much. He was a dick, honestly but I guess everyone has their reasons and King had his. The dynamic between the both of them was electric. Every time they were in a room ,they just captivated everyone with their chemistry. They were simply made for each other.

This was my first ever book set in a circus-like setting and it did not disappoint. I loved it so much I was speechless. I didn’t know what to expect the whole time and was just blown away with every word, every sentence, every chapter. Each chapter was a new experience. Something different that I never could’ve imagined. Amo’s mind. I don’t know what to say. To have come up with these amazing, complex, captivating characters and stories.
