Carnage (L.O.R.D.S. standalone) Shantel Tessier

I vaguely recommend. I know it's a standalone but it'd be much better if you read the other four.

I hate to say it, but this one is just my least favorite story in Shantel’s world. The first half was super good and had some amazing 🌶 scenes, but the second half fell a bit flat for me. The conflicts and resolutions were a mess. I didn’t fall in love with either the MMC or the FMC. The emotional connection between them was love-hate-hate/love but the communication was meh. I know that was the point in some parts, but just me personally, it wasn’t enough. The supporting characters were much more interesting than the mains and I’m excited for the next one she writes about them.

Thank you, Candi Kane PR and Shantel for the advanced copy. This review is of my own honest opinion.

Blurb: A PUPPET

The men in the secret society known as the Lords think they rule the world. And in a way, they do. Each has sold their soul to the devil at a young age in exchange for power and wealth. Like anything else, they have different levels of success. The more they’re willing to serve, the more power they have. Among them are the Spade brothers, who run Carnage. It’s where the Lords who have not held up their oath go to live out the rest of their lives in shackles. Tucked away from the world as if they never existed. I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW. I once belonged to a Lord—Saint Beckham Carter. Although nothing was holy about him, I still kneeled as if he could grant me eternity in a world where only evil existed. At the time, I willingly vowed to be his and allowed him to share me with his “brothers.” But things changed. And what I thought couldn’t get any better got exceptionally worse. So I did the only thing I could and ran from him, knowing I could never return. Now he’s found me and dragged me back to his hell, where he will make me his pet. The world already thinks I’m dead, so no one will miss me. And I’m just another name on a long list of those who will never know freedom. What he doesn’t know is why I ran from him in the first place. A Lord doesn’t listen to reason, so it’s not like he’d care anyway. Saint was born a Lord, and he will die as one. If life has taught me anything, it’s that we all pay for our sins. And Saint will never let me forget that my place is at Carnage, serving him on my knees until death is granted.
