⭐️ I could tell you how powerful this authors writing is but just go read the reviews. Once you pick up a book by Ashlynn you are hooked. She winds you up and spits you out! She takes you down one path but takes a detour. You never know what will happen next!
🖤 I love a good mystery. This series is impressive. She leaves little morsels just to frustrate me, I’m sure because I can usually figure it out!
🖤 There are so many delicious characters. I was so excited when Ashlynn said this book was coming and I would see what she had in store this time!
🖤 The best is the ending. I sat there unable to breathe! Just shook me to my core!
🖤 This is a series you would be bereft to read!

Once again, buckle up before going into this story cause once again it was a wild freaking ride. I felt all the emotions while reading this story. I was heartbroken, angry, happy and then hot with some of these spicy scenes.

This author does a phenomenal job of making you wonder what’s coming next then throwing you through an entire loop of something else entirely happening. And let’s not forget the ending! That cliffhanger gave me cold chills that I was not at all prepared to experience.

I wish I could give this book more than five starts cause it’s one I’m gonna be thinking about for a long time to come. I can’t wait for the next books in the series!
10/10 and a must read as is with this entire series!

[Mandi medlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is one of my all time favorites. Ashlynn will make you cry, love, hate and want to strangle her. Check your trigger warnings. Always. Heavy topics and scenes.
Now who loves a little mmmf. Your MC's are touch her and die, your FMC is a bada$$ that is Queen of many things. The plot twist are thick and just when you think you have it, Ashlynn pulls the bag over your head. Absolutely love and highly recommend!

[Amanda Curtis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stunning

Absolutely stunning. This book will blow you away and rip your heart out at the same time. It starts off with a bang and keeps going so many ups and downs for Jade and the guys and just when you think you know what happening nope you don't its Absolutely dark and spicy and amazing this whole series has had me in a grip and hasn't let me go . I love it so much.

[Amanda Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! 🤯 This book seriously took the cake! Ashlynn is seriously the queen of cliffhangers, just like our bada$$ FMC Jade.
Once again this author starts off by reminding you of some very tragic things, breaking your heart all over again, and then sends you on a emotional rollercoaster ride, with some ups and downs, only to give you the biggest whiplash, slap in the face known to man kind. I was not expecting that end at all! Like seriously!!!!

Jade and her Kings still give us everything we want in this book, we get the smut, the violence, and dark romance, the love stories! There are some heavy topics in this book as always so please check your trigger warnings before heading into her books!

But oh man if I could give this book more stars I would! Well done girl, well done! 👏
5/5 ⭐️

Once again Ash had me on the edge of my seat !!!
But I definitely got that last twist coming 🤭🤭.

[Smuttydarkromance · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning! Anarchy picks up after the gut wrenching cliffhanger of Bedlam and boy was it tough. Then because to wouldn’t be Jade and her men without the heat, the temperature rises high! Then the rest of the book is complete anarchy!! The twists and the turns made me want to not stop reading. Let me just say.. ZAYN!! I will be his brat any day especially with his magical piercings. But that cliffy tho!!!!! I need the next book now! Read the Kings of Chaos and Mayhem series today! Start with Chaos and if you have already read up to Bedlam… Get anarchy today!!

📖Arc review

“You’ve been a bad boy, my little biker bitch. Bad bitches get punished.”

✨ this scene 😮‍💨✨


Since book once I’ve been sucked into the world of jade and her kings .

From the ride of chaos to the emotional damage of mayhem this world has been a ride .

I enjoyed glimpses of this family together, the drama always has me questioning the next move .

The Zayn story line really got to me this book, it had me on edge from the beginning. Coming to 90% a scene hit that I was dreading would happen and I was on the verge of quitting. ( A trope I just don’t do per my preference)

Coming to the end I have my suspicions on why it had happened. The way it occurred definitely made me feel differently. The tension between these two took my main focus throughout the book, finishing the end gave me some relief it wasn’t fully what I thought.


If there was more suspicion and build up to everyone’s acceptance of him. I felt that everyone just immediately let him in the moment he appeared. For me if there was more of sprinkled moments of “ huh 🤔 that reminds me of Dario” , and physical moments came after the realization I would’ve been more accepting.

I felt like jade was being secretive about her feelings and it very much felt like cheating for me which is just a trope I dislike.


Jamie’s story line took a turn I wasn’t expecting so finding out more about how that is unfolding will be interesting.


Per Ashlynn usual we are left with w cliffhanger that has us questioning what will happen next .

📖3/5

[✨✨ Claire✨✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this was the final book of the series. No Idea where I got that from! So I imagined an ending but the closer the end of the book came and the more things were happening.....i knew I was wrong!!!

I have to say, I'm so glad I picked this series up! It's been a complete roller coaster. The highs have been amazing but the lows..... Wow! I could have done without.. But they DO make this book something special.

Jade is a powerhouse and there's not many other FMC as strong as this one. The other MMCs also evolve, and a new one is introduced. Who he will turn out to be is another mystery and I can't help but think he's somehow connected to Dario but Ashlynn is amazingly good at keeping mysteries so tightly wrapped!!

This truly lives up to its title and if I write a single snippet, it will give parts of the plot up. However, if you're reading this on my tiktok or Instagram, there are clues in the pictures and I'm saying no more!!!

The author stays true to her writing style with huge plot twists and turns,  spice and chemistry scorching the pages and a main story that keeps you on your toes throughout the whole book, and the series.

I'm glad there's an additional novella after this, and I can't remember the last time I was excited to read what happens.....

My patience is never good so I'm itching for this tight now!!! I'm hoping it's not too long...!!!

As always, check the TW before diving in & reading this book. Your mental health matters & this one hits hard & heavy & IMO is & was worth every second spent reading it. Now ladies, gents, & everyone/everything in between, let's get into it. This one was an ABSOLUTE rollercoaster, I swear everytime I started to catch my breath from one thing there was another right there ready to drop the world out from under me. I will forever be in love with & a fan of this series. Miss Ma'am does not disappoint, she for sure has my soul twisted up in tatters & constantly pushes the limits of my emotions & I wouldn't have it any other way. Jade & her men live rent free in my gray matter 27/7. The plot twists, the spice, the whole world she's built thus far & continues to build is EVERYTHING. I can't tell you how many times I had to step away from my Kindle to gather myself while reading. It was a challenge not to scream, cry, etc. & not fling the d@#n thing across the room at times. Very few authors I've read in my life have had this kind of impact on me & when I say I👏WOULDN'T👏HAVE👏IT👏ANY👏OTHER👏WAY I mean it with my WHOLE being. Jade is absolutely the QUEEN & her men are the KINGS I didn't know I needed in my life.

[Vikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ashlynn, is an evil genius that knows exactly how to destroy me. But here I am…and I keep coming back for more.

After Mayhem ripped my heart out, I thought I was prepared for Anarchy. I was so very wrong. Just as I started to believe things might settle, Ashlynn takes a hammer to everything and shatters me all over again. This book is raw, brutal, and unforgiving, but I couldn’t stop reading.

The stakes are higher than ever, and this time, it’s not just about survival—it’s war. Blood will spill, and it is so satisfying. One second, I’m devastated. The next, I’m furious. Then, I’m clutching my Kindle and whispering, “Please don’t do it.” And then? Ashlynn does it anyway. Legit Emotional Whiplash. I know that Jade won’t stay down. If you thought she was fierce before, buckle up. Because this time? She’s unhinged, and I am here for it.

Now, let’s talk about that cliffy. I knew it was coming. I knew I was going to hurt and resist the urge to throw my kindle. And yet… I still lost it like I didn’t just sign up for this emotional abuse.

This series is an addiction, and Ashlynn keeps dishing out more. No matter how much it hurts, I’m obsessed. The second I finished, I wanted to start over, just to feel that reckless hope before the destruction all over again.

⭐️: 4.5
🌶️: 4


We’re back to the chaos that is Ashlynn and I’m happy to be here! This book was so good. It was sad, spicy and had its cute parts. Jade is still a bad$$ and always will be. I love her. I love seeing her maternal side too. I don’t wanna say too much because I don’t wanna give it away but the plot twist and cliffhanger was soo good. I can’t wait for the next book! This series always has me going crazy.


Favorite quotes:

“ I bow down to no one.”

“That’s it, baby. Such a good fxcking girl. You’re so fxcking perfect when you cum like that for me.”

“You’ve been a bad boy, my little biker bxtch. Bad bxtches get punished.”

“The monster inside doesn’t define you, Jamie. Unfortunately, we are all products of our parents' neglect, but we are stronger than them.”

“Damn, Ace. I want that tight a$$ sucking my cxck like the good boy you are.”

“Stop making those sounds baby or I’ll take you right here on this table, and all those people out there will hear their queen cumming for her king.”

Book Review – Anarchy (Kings of Chaos and Mayhem, Book 6) by Ashlynn Author

Let’s talk about a total package! Book six in the Kings of Chaos and Mayhem series by the mastermind Ashlynn Author delivers it all—suspense? Check. Vengeance? Check. Spice? Double check! Unexpected twists? Triple check! This book is a wild ride from start to finish.

Jade and her kings are preparing for war while still grieving, expanding their family, and taking over her father’s legacy—all while juggling the chaos of everyday life with the babies. And let me tell you, Jade is not one to be reckoned with. She’s a true baddie, and this book proves it over and over again.

The story is phenomenal, keeping me hooked from page one to the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers. New characters are introduced, heartbreak is felt, and every twist and turn had me on edge. This series has been absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend it. If you haven’t dived into it yet, you’re seriously missing out!

[kristina_book_reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Please read all of the triggers listed for this book prior to reading because Ashlynn’s books have at least a page of them in every book. Next keep the tissues close because I balled my eyes out a few times in it.
Lastly if you pass to this part please enjoy this book.
You will find in every book in this eight book series with leave you with cliffhangers that you are lucky that most of the books are out now.
I found Anarchy to be just are deep and my son favorite book as Bedlam and it continues right where you were left off. You will find that Jade is even stronger than you already thought well dang she’s get stronger.
Jax is so cute and you’ll find yourself ahhh ing a lot.
The guys shocked me with how they care for Jade and all the kids in this so delicate way but they are some bad a** men killing people and saving people. The courage and strength they have when they find out that their family has kept secrets from them all of their lives.

[LaVette LoVe]

Well, let's do this. Time for some more emotional damage from Ash! I'm going to review this book as I read it, and try my hardest not to give any spoilers!

Go figure, that first chapter has to be from that POV, and just already has my emotions all over the place! Is there hope for him?

And then you get to chapter 4: and my heart breaks for Jade. I'm sorry babe, he's my favorite too!

Well...now I know what you means in the beginning when you said CCC! Chapter 5 is 🔥🥵🌶️! IYKYK!

Well shit, thanks for reminding me of what happens in the epilogue of Bedlam, making my blood pump! I'm at work woman!

WARNING! Chapter 7 is not for the weak. Please read with caution. There is a warning at the beginning of the chapter, please hede it when reading. Spade, I am so proud of you! That had to have been the hardest moment of your life.



Besides the story, I noticed that a different editor edited this book versus the rest of the series, and you can tell.

This book had me hooked from the start! Anarchy picks up after the cliffhanger of Bedlam, and the tension is intense, and mouthwatering, obsessed. The heat between Jade and her men is unmatched, and the twists kept me turning the pages! ZAYN is definitely a favorite with his magical piercings(wouldn’t mind see the artwork, Ashlynn 😜😜). That cliffhanger was brutal—I need the next book now, like this minute! If you haven't started the Kings of Chaos and Mayhem series, begin with Chaos and read up to Bedlam, then grab Anarchy! Ashlynn will always be a top author for me and would always recommend to anyone that want a spicy, emotional gut-ranching book that will make you fall in love with it and hate it at the same time that how good her books are.

[JackaayReadsallday · Rating 5 out of 5]

I swear to everything that is holy and unholy that if you want your heart ripped apart, Ashlynn is the author for you. I was completely wrecked by the last book and I don’t think my heart will ever be the same. This author does the best emotional rollercoasters but sometimes I can be a lil salty about it, with good reason. Every time I think I’ve gotten over the emotional damage, she hits me with another plot twist and I obviously must have an emotional damage k¡nk because I keep coming back for more. Her writing, although devastating, is addictive. She has been and always will be a one click author for me. Very well done Ashlynn. I can’t wait for the other two books in the series.

With that being said, PLEASE check the TW.

Wow! I can honestly say that after reading Anarchy I'm completely speechless. It took me a few days to process and even now I'm still processing it. This book was an emotional mind fuck in the best way. Going through heartache after heartache, lies and betrayals, twists and turns and that shocking cliffhanger...OMFG!! There's not much more to say without giving spoilers but Anarchy is a must read!!

Emotional Read

Ashlynn you leave me hanging every. Single. Time! The cliffs you have me dangling over are no longer funny, this book had me an emotional wreck. Then to end it there well I very nearly broke my kindle.

I love Ashlynn’s writing style and her characters are simple next level. The plot is amazing the spice spicing and the character development is on point every time.

I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book and am already preparing not to be alright when reading it. I know that my heart is always ripped out then slowly pieced back together when reading a book written by Ashlynn.

Anarchy by Ashlynn
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I took my time ready this one and going back to make sure I read it again. It is so emotional, pulling on all my heart, the pain of loss to the joy of birth of a child, trying to move on but not there and still being a Queen to your men and organizations. So many secrets, who can you trust?!
And still the undercurrent of the new man who James added, could he be Dario (because I’m not over him either) or not or my hopeful wish that he survived and had memories loss and facial reconstruction. But that freaking cliffhanger gives me hope!
Regardless you get so much heat in this story all the way around. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Kayla T · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another book where Ashlynn wants to break hearts. I loved the way the book started to provide some background to what happened at the end of the last book. The things that Jade went through in this book had me tearing up. I felt bad for the way the guys had to make choices that nobody should have to do.

The narrators of this book helped me feel the different emotions of what was going on. Although there was loss and sadness in this book. There was some happiness that came.

What would this book be if there wasn't a cliffhanger at the end? I'm so ready to see what happens next as this series almost comes to an end.

[KayCee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Kings of Chaos & Mayhem series and this book is no different. Ashlynn writes about all the hard things, she makes you feel love, hate, anguish, heartbroken, and hopeful. This book was a wild ride; and as usual she leaves you on a cliffhanger that just frustrates you, but in the best way. Plot twists and turns throughout; everytime you think you know what's coming, she throws you off track.
Probably one of the darkest books in the series; please read your TW/CW's. Spicy, why choose, mafia romance.

[Melissa Lamon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again, Ashlynn has absolutely outdone herself with this book! I cried. I laughed. I got angry. I cried some more. And then some more. The content is very heavy and dark. But, Queen Jade is angry and ready to get revenge. They went and messed with the wrong girl! She is relentless. Plot twists! So many plot twists!! As usual, this book is full of spice and NSFW! Better hang on tight, this ride will leave you asking “WTH?” And buckle in real good for that ending. Good luck!
