I have watched her and the mates that surround her for centuries. The family she has created have forged a bond stronger than they realize, yet they question their purpose when faced with opposition.
Thankfully, they sought advice from someone who can see past the veil that separates our worlds, and it reignited a fire within them to fight.
Lilu may be lost to the Corrupt Carnival, but I’m watching over her now, and the trials she must face are not for the faint of heart. I fear that she will pass these trials, and that a rift between our two worlds will be what destroys us all.
Yet, I trust my sisters, the fate weavers who stand behind this realm. They have found something in these creatures that they believe is worth fighting for, so I will watch carefully as the Daughter of Shadow and Smoke carves a path through the darkness with her wit, bravery, and selflessness.
The prophecy is unfolding, and everyone will take their place for the final battle. Blood will be spilled, bonds will be tested, and the adversary they face will be one that can challenge the strength of their very soul. Will we all burn to ash in the wake of Hell’s wrath and be lost to the void forever, or will this family of misfits lead us to victory?

What can I say? In short - I was scared the whole time! Literally I was scared, because I just knew that something will f*ck up, I just knew it, and you know that? It was served beautifully and bloody.
I loved the whole story and the twists, the smut, the cute scenes, the heartbreak scenes - just everything about it. This finale will not let you rest. You will check the percentage or pages to tell yourself that everything will be okay. Like noone will die. They will be happy. You will just say these things to yourself, because that’s how much you will love all these characters.
Regarding characters - I fell for Chaos so freaking hard, it’s not heathy. Okay I love all of them, but something in Chaos just was it. I would fight Lilu for him, okay I would try and loose but still, I would at least try. Don’t know why, but yeah HE took my souls, which I freely given him. But let me tell you all those men are incredible. You will love them the whle time and what is most important you will want to be part of this carnival. Really , I want to see it for real.
I know it’s not long review and honestly I don’t want to spoil to you anything. Because you need to read it from the first book and live it. You need to fall for each of them, and fall with them as well. So yeah, go read the first one, you will devour it like I did and when you will finish the last one, you will feel little bit lost and sad, but still happy.
And did I mentioned that the hellhounds are the cuties thing ever?!!!! So yeah, I’m cat person more, but gods, I want a hellhound. Maybe some little pup, dark pup or maybe red one, not sure yet, but definitely I want a hellhound.
When Lilu is lost to the Corrupt Carnival, her mates and everyone close to her is at a loss of what to do, especially when they don’t know where she went or if she’s even still alive. Finding out she’s in another world, they must figure out how to reach her and what they will be prepared to risk for her.
Meanwhile, Lilu is faced with trials in order to get out of the place she’s trapped inside, the Void. A prophecy is unfolding in the final book of this series and everyone has a place they must take in the final upcoming battle. Will they survive and be victorious, or will they be lost to the Void forever?
“Help me fill her up, Pup. Our mate wants to be stuffed full with our cum until her belly is round with it.”
“Forget ‘feed me and tell me I’m pretty’, I’d rather be choked while you tell me you own me.”

Final Thoughts: An epic battle and an epic end of this incredible series. I was on the edge of my seat during many scenes and then fanning myself and splashing cool water on my face in the others. T.R. has such a wonderful way of telling an incredible story that pulls you in from the start, keeping you on your toes throughout the story and then threatening to melt your kindle in the other moments. With this series now complete, I cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve next!
"We may fight and bicker, joke and play pranks, but at the end of the day, we have love. And that's all that matters because love is the only thing truly worth fighting for"
Do you want -
😈😇Demons and Angels 🔮Fates and Seers ⚔️💕Fighting and Loving 🪖🏳️War and Peace 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶Smut ... like ridiculous amounts of smut ....
Then this series is for you!!
As always Tay has written another amazing story! This book really wrapped up the series nicely even if there were .... a few tense moments 😅
All of these characters have really grown on me.
I still think Zav is my fave along side Rogue... gotta love a good comedian/trickster ohhh and Paradox goes without saying!
There's trauma, bonding, hurt, love and an amazing found family!
This ending was beautiful and I will miss being in this world so much.
I've been pretty brief in my review due to not wanting to spoil anything
Thank you so much Tay for keeping me on the team while I've been less active love you lots 🫶
💫Please Check TW as there is a lot going on in this series
Forget ‘feed me and tell me I’m pretty’, I’d rather be choked while you tell me you own me.
Ok it’s official! I’m in love with Oldin 😘. Anyone who can write all the depraved things I crave deserves my heart 🤭 but also like is there a sign up sheet or something cause I’m so ready for my own demon mates 😩
So much happens in this book yall. We get humor, action, heartfelt moments, swoony moments, shock, and obviously steam. She put her all into book 4 and gave us all the answers we’ve been waiting for
This series is incredible and definitely bookshelf worthy
All books in The Corrupt Carnival series are out now. Happy reading
And intense ride that kept me wanting more. I couldn’t put this down. I was anxious reading this, it was so good!
Lilu is one of my all time favorite fmcs. She’s so badass! And the men, wow. They’re just as intense and will do anything for her! The love throughout the harem is so strong.
"𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐨."
The plot is amazing! There’s a lot of action, and plenty of spice. Seriously these books were so good. I love seeing all of the characters in this book, I recommend this series so much!
Here we are, back at The Corrupt Carnival. Victory is so close we can taste it, but man do our heros need to face some trials before we cross that finish line.
Every single character in this series has been so fun and wonderful to read. The journey with them from the very first book all the way through to the end, the arc each one went through and learned from, absolutely wonderful.
I'm going to be thinking about these characters, wondering where the carnival has setup, hoping they're all doing well, for a long time. Highly recommend.
I can’t believe this is the final book in the Corrupt Carnival series 😭 I have devoured all previous books and I have been waiting for Void and Victory.
I loved how we got to see so many of the characters from the previous books throughout this one, and the scenes with Lilu and her mates was as spicy and naughty as you’d expect from T.R. Oldin 😉
So sad it’s over as this has been one of my favourite series’ I’ve read in a long time!
Omg omg omg that’s the most epic way to end a series. It had me all over the place with my emotions! And the battle scene….EPIC!!!! Truly one of my most series of all time!!!!! Definitely deserves more than 5 stars. If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend the corrupt carnival series!!! It will not disappoint at all!!!
I am feeling a mix of emotions right now.. I’m so happy to see this beautiful ending for this amazing series but also so sad to know it’s over. I loved these characters, their story and struggles, their love.. everything was beautiful and I fell in love with this world.
This final book was nothing short of incredible! Lilu and her family were ready to face it all head-on, as long as they were together. I’m still obsessed with Zavian, he’s been my fav since book 1 and forever will be! I loved seeing different POVs, having them all be a part of this finale was amazing to read! This was the perfect ending for the series!
And, last but definitely not least, the 🌶️ scenes were top tier as alwayssss with T.R. Oldin! The way these men had me meltinggg 🥵 I’m so obsessed with all of them and their group scenes, especially Onyx and Rogue.. 😮💨
Void and Victory is the final book in the Corrupt Carnival series, I’ve been waiting with bated breath to see how this story ends, and wow, does it end with a bang. It’s really hard to say goodbye to these characters. I have loved every minute of this series. It’s epic, adventurous, and one hell of a story.
Void and Victory is packed to the brim with action. It’s the one final push to claim victory over Lucifer, but what I didn’t see coming was how the story played out. It's complex, epic, and full of mystery. It gives us that ending that these characters truly deserve.
Within this story, we see more of the previous characters. We see more of Lilu and more of her mates. We also find out more about Rogue and Onyx within this book, giving them both a much deeper and complete understanding within the story, and honestly, the characters arcs within this story are truly everything. T.R. Oldin does a fantastic job of giving us characters that not only are sexy as hell but also have complex emotions and feelings.
This book is hot, so so sexy, action-packed, and just everything it needed to be.
Void and Victory Releases today! (AUGUST 10TH) – find it on the Zon, and dont miss out on the epic adventure of Lilu and her mates!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ — Lush, dark, and brimming with foreboding, but requires patience to sink into.
Void and Victory promises an epic, otherworldly fantasy steeped in fate, prophecy, and high emotional stakes. It paints a world where realms are thinly separated, battles are inevitable, and bonds of found family must withstand hell itself. There’s a poetic, almost mythic quality—it feels less like a casual blurb and more like a whispered prophecy overheard at the edge of a campfire.
Where it excels is in atmosphere. You can practically feel the weight of centuries and the looming sense of destiny. There’s clear care put into the worldbuilding—terms like “Corrupt Carnival,” “Daughter of Shadow and Smoke,” and “fate weavers” hint at a rich lore that dark fantasy readers will eat up. The tension between worlds and the promise of soul-testing trials will intrigue those who love high-stakes, emotional battles.
Overall, it's a tale for readers who thrive on slow-burn tension, layered mythologies, and an almost operatic level of drama. Expect blood, betrayal, and a relentless march toward a climactic battle where no one’s survival is guaranteed.
Nothing is as it seems to be. I found connections throughout each book within this series but Victory & Void holds both the dark and the light within me. Holding parts of me that’s been unseen but also a part of me I needed the connection to fully see the past is what it is, the future is yet to come, and the here in now is right like the void, lessons within. Where sometimes the past needs to be in the present moment to learn and to clearly see. What we thought wasn’t wholly so but what is will begin to make sense to the trails and tribulations will be carefully learned so there is a future to be. That being said… If you love a breathtaking read that takes your breath away. If you find meaning within the words written or even need to feel a connection to your life then this is it, it is for me anyways!! I know I’ll be reading this serious again and again!! Not to forget the spice, smexy demons, and gorgeous witches, HellHounds, and so much more. Enter this phenomenal world and get lost in the meaning and fall in love!!
Were back at the Corrupt Carnival for the final finale🎉
This picked up right right where book 3 left off! Lilu getting tossed into the void! Her sheer determination to get back to her family, and her mates on the outside searching to find her! A war thats coming and everyones doing their part to make sure Lucifer reign ends!
This had EPIC battles, foretold prophecies, hard trails, the stakes higher than ever, witty banter and the spice? Once again THIS AUTHOR KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING🥵
I ADORED this series from start to finish! All of the characters have my heart! Each of them flawed and vulnerable, navigate betrayal, danger, and uncertainty together, making their victories all the more powerful and hard won! She crafts a world that’s layered and beautifully mysterious, wishing i could visit the Canival myselr! The ending was beautiful, and i absolutely see a reread already in my future for this series!
What a way to go out with a bang! Void and Victory was the perfect finale to a series I worn soon forget and T. R. Oldin knows just how to wrap up a story but I will miss these characters dearly now that it’s finally over 😭
The intensity and tension, the emotional hits, the found family love fest, and let’s not forget the spice that knocked me out. I was obsessed with this book and some of these twists and turns had my mouth dropping.
Let’s be clear, T. R. Oldin is a master of {k}inks and spice, but shew lord, she really outdid herself here. 🩸 play, marking 💅🏻, begging 🧎🏼♀️, dom/subs, and SO. MUCH. TEASING. I think she loves to tease us more than her characters, but I ain’t mad at it! Watch out, your kindle is gonna overheat with this one.
Looking for a series that has a flowing plot right alongside all the spice and heat you can handle? You have absolutely got to dive into the Corrupt Carnival, you won’t regret it!
Such a freaking cool series!!! How our girl managed to keep every thought, every challenge, every demon, every relationship organized is beyond me! 😂 There is so much happening in this series, but in this ending in particular that I’m in awe how everything flowed so seamlessly!
Once again we have FANTASTIC humor, lots of emotional growth and wisdom, some suspense and crazy challenges to overcome, and just an emotional rollercoaster ride of a plot line.
What a way to go! Like seriously! This was such a fun and inspiring series that keeps you in your toes, makes you giggle out loud, and also makes you crave a little found family situation like theirs. The drama is top tier and the writing flows so beautifully that I was shocked at how quickly I went through it even with all the life stuff going on!
Void & Victory The Corrupt Carnival series is complete
TR Oldin continues to amaze me with her writing and growth in her work. This series has been fun and if you love strong FMCs, paranormal and lots of spice this is a great series.
Lilu may have fallen into the Void but her fight to get back to her family never wavers. While her men are searching for her and everyone is coming together to try and find an end to the war, she is put to the test and must pass in order to return. Lucifer still stands as a threat, the goal to end his reign is starting to have a light at the end of the tunnel, but will Lilu and her found family succeed? 👀
Oh my God what an epic ending for an amazing series!! We’re back with the Corrupt Carnival and the final battle for the existence of their realm is quickly approaching. But first they have to gather the key elements for their success starting with Lilu. Only this time Lilu has to save herself by proving her worth and true nature. All while the others gather the other necessary tools for the upcoming battle. Will they win? Only one way you can find out and that’s by reading this book.
I experienced a roller coaster of emotions while reading this book. I was happy, sad, angry, and a few other things. I am surprised at how invested I was in the outcome of this series especially this particular book. I highly recommend this series and book if you enjoy reading about demons, angels, and witches. Add in a HUGE dollop of smut and you get this amazing series.
An amazing ending to an excellent series. I'm sad that it's over! I could read about Lilu, Evolet, Rai and all their mates forever. This was a great series, well written and edited with an engaging story.
This book details the end of the war and what starts after, but still keeps the same edge of your seat thrill. I loved it!
Forget "feed me and tell me I'm pretty" I'd rather be chocked while you tell me you own me.
Some call me a master manipulator l, I say I'm a well-educated brat with a sarcasm problem. But apparently they're the same thing.
In the stillness and the fight, I love you with all my dark and all my light.
We do not come for spiders, those things are shells of evil and we do not mess with them.
Once again we start 2000 years ago with even more history. Then we get back to present and start right where Ringmaster and Rebellion ended. The bond that Lilu has with her four mates is complex and amazing all in one. While being in the Void Lilu must prove herself worthy instead she proves herself to be more thoughtful than anything. The rest of the carnival must go on and find a way into the one place none of her hem ever thought they would go. Lilu finds out more about her and more about the power she holds. The war must go on and the twist in the plot will leave you wanting more. The ending was everything. This is definitely my favorite of the series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The way this entire series has had me in a chokehold is unreal! But this book was the most EPIC finale I have ever read! Rouge is one of my favorite characters TR has written.. he truly is my spirit animal! A true Brat. Onyx pain was so easy to connect with as a reader. Lilu is forever a baddie! I loved all the characters having POV’s as well! I could cry with all the character chapter art. The spice in this book is OFF THE CHARTS! Just wait for chapter 24 and 31! You won’t be able to pick your jaw up off the floor. The plot twist with have your mind blown and the epilogues were the perfect ending to this epic journey! Get your copy!
i can’t believe it’s actually over! this series has had me hooked since book 1 and a part of me is, of course, sad that it’s come to an end, but this was the perfect conclusion to the series. since this is the final, i don’t want to spoil *anything* for you, but just know it is so worth it. can i rate this book more than 5 stars, seriously?
and if you’re here and haven’t read the first book and the others, what’re you doing? go read the others and fall in love with this beautiful world, and interesting characters. ❤️🔥
hell i’ll probably go back and re-read all of them again and again, just so i can “live” in that world a little longer 😭
The final book for the Corrupt Carnival picks up where the previous one left off, and Lilu is separated from everyone. They are in the midst of a fight and need their family together; how can they move forward, and who can they lean on for help? Lilu had to embrace all the parts of herself to prepare for battle, and it is nice that she finally had an “adult” figure who supported her in Michael: however, maybe not everything is as it seems. For a series that covered many books and characters, the ending tied everything together well, but the conclusion was quick. I’m here for wherever T. R. Oldin goes next, especially with the upcoming novella I didn’t know I needed.
Omg iam was happy and sad to see this book coming in on my kindle as that means the carnival is coming to an end and I dont want to leave yet!!
This story picks up right where the last book ends and sees Lilu in the void trying her best to get back to her mates and her family at the carnival.
This book had it all crazy banter, epic battles of course the spice but also characters growing and the betrayal of people and things that you thought were true but in the end couldn't really stay.
Lucifer is still plotting and wait and will Lilu make it back to her family and take the throne and finally get what she has always wanted?? I can't wait to see what T.R comes up with next
The Corrupt Carnival series has owned my heart, and this finale was pure chaos, heartbreak, laughter, and jaw-dropping twists. Zav, Rogue, Paradox, Rhun, Onyx, Lilu—every single one feels like family now.
The battles? EPIC. The humor? Top-tier. The spice? Off the charts (chapters 24 & 31, you’ve been warned 😏). I loved the multiple POVs, the found family feels that made me both laugh and tear up.
A perfect goodbye to an unforgettable series—T.R. Oldin, you’ve outdone yourself. Thanks for the great ride 🖤
Void & Victory by T.R. Oldin The fourth and FINAL book in the series!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes Good boy/ brat Demons and dark magic MMFMM Epic battle
“This is the last book in the series and I really enjoy enjoyed this world so much, you have found lovers, trauma healing, bonding, smut (lots of it) and one epic battle to the end!! Without saying too much you have to pick this series up and see for yourself. You’ll be blindsided by twists and turns while you feel all the feels and as always Taylor will have you wanting more”
This series is now complete and we are a little sad to leave the corrupt carnival 😭😭
Tay beautifully wrapped up and feed us the exact puzzle pieces when we needed them! Luli and all her mates are one of the best examples of why choose out there!! These four men- stole our hearts 🖤💚
Okay we are being vague for a reason to not give anything away! But go read this series!!
This is the last book in the series and I can't say too much without spoilers.
But this was an EPIC conclusion to an EPIC series. I have loved every single second of this series. We have angels and demons, fates and seers, epic battles, found family, and ALL THE SPICE in every variety you could imagine.
TR Oldin could not have written a better ending for all of these characters. I could not stop reading!
Such a perfect end to the series oh my gosh every second, every POV, every battle plan, every love scene 😭❤️🖤 An absolute wild ride that I can’t get enough of especially because TR Oldins writing always invokes these powerful emotions makes my heart warm and empowered.
Ready for the final battle!? Ohh that surprise novella coming soon can’t wait I LOVE a good redemption ARC especially with my daddy issues 🤣
Somehow I'm the instrument, T.R. Oldin is the director and her characters are the musicians playing the beautiful heartbreaking music with my emotions. Like I can’t even encompass how I feel other than I was left on shaking legs because the author is not kidding when she says no one is safe but she is still so deserving of your trust. However now that I reach the end I find myself wanting to start it all over again.
