CARNAGE

Crestvale Killers - Book Three

Release Date: June 17, 2026

Review

I think this may be my favourite of the series. Something about the almos fated vibes that I love.

One look and Carnage knows Rue needs help, and somehow Rue knows Carnage can help.

What ensues is a game of Carnage doing whatever necessary to track Rue down and get him away from the d-bag that currently ‘owns’ him and has some really disgusting plans for him.

I love that Rue doesn’t fall at Carnage’s feet, though he feels attraction and a pull, he takes time and questions what he wants in life. After what he’s experienced, I love that he is taking the time to make a choice.

And the way Carnage supports Rue to find himself…*chef’s kiss*

Synopsis

Take out an entire gang just to get close to the man I’m obsessed with? I’m in.

Rue

Leave it to me to get caught up with the wrong crowd as soon as I move to the big city. Now I’m trapped with nowhere to run, stuck counting down the days until the worst man alive decides he’s done with me. I’m too afraid to ask what happens after that.

Then I see him. A viable escape route. He’s just as scary as my current captor, but there’s a kindness in his eyes that draws me closer. Out of one fire into another, but maybe this one won’t burn as much. I’m obsessed with finding him again, and when I do, I’ll do anything to get him to save me.

Carnage

The last thing I need is to get caught up in business that isn’t mine, but the minute I see the stunning blond with way too innocent eyes pleading with me from across the bar, I’m hooked. This isn’t a mild interest, it’s taking over my world, and I can’t rest until I find him.

I know he’s supposed to be with me and I’ll burn this entire city down to make it happen. Getting him away from the men he’s tied up with won’t be an easy task, but easy things bore me anyway. Turns out, my obsession has a wild streak in him that rivals my own. This is gonna be fun.

Revenge will be sweet, but maybe, love is even sweeter.

About Mia Monroe

Mia has long been an avid romance reader and writer. As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ community, Mia feels a special connection to these sometimes complicated stories. Once she read her first MM romance, she was hooked, and now wants to bring those stories to you. She’s a hopeless romantic so she guarantees a happy ever after in all her stories, but she does not guarantee they will be without complications.

Mia describes her writing style as angsty, emotional, and kinky and just lets her imagination take her where it wants to go. No filters, no restraint, no apologies. She hopes you enjoy the ride and come back for more.

People will tell you Mia is funny in the most sarcastic of ways, fluent in inappropriate memes, loosely moral’d, a lover of words, and fueled by coffee and tacos- but not at the same time. She has some standards.

Love freely.
