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.

Carnage
By Shantel Tessier
“A Lord takes his oath seriously. Only blood will solidify their commitment to serve those who demand their complete devotion.”
“There is no god here, sweetheart. Make no mistake, you will kneel for me, but the things I have planned for you are anything but holy”
Stars 5/5

Saint Beckham Carter is completely unhinged and I am here for it!!!! All day, every day.
Carnage was my most anticipated book of the year, and Shantel did not disappoint. Carnage has several storylines going on that keep you hooked. They intertwine masterfully and the story takes you on a journey that will leave you breathless.
Saint and Ashtyn's chemistry was off the charts.
“It would have changed nothing, sweetheart.
I loved you then, I love you now. You've always been it for me, Ashtyn”
“Ashtyn Lane Price belongs to me. She just doesn't know it yet. But she will, very soon. And once I make her mine, the world will know it too.”
This is a dark revenge romance make sure you check the trigger warnings.
Not my favourite out of them. I think Kash one will be more interesting.
I didn't like the ending just because it felt very rushed and back and forth with Ash being in safety and then suddenly being hostage again. It was a good curve ball but just felt a bit “another one.”
Like the spade brothers overall tho :)
All of the books in this series have felt like a rollercoaster ride for me but this one was a whole other level.
I loved Ashtyn and Saint's characters, and even Haidyn and Kashton and I loved that all of our boys from the previous books made it for this one! The plot twists in this story were absolutely insane and had me at the edge of my seat. This seriously felt like a telenovela to me lol
I would've rated it higher if not for some plot holes I was bothered with.
Nonetheless I was 100% entertained and even though this is a CHUNKY book I got through it fairly quickly
Unpopular opinion tho - Sin is my favourite from the series!
