I liked that we are introduced to Liam first. It sets the tone immediately and lets you feel how dangerous this world is before Siobhan even steps fully into it. Then we meet her, doing everything she can to live outside that life. She runs a legitimate art gallery, does not rely on her father, and is genuinely trying to stay clean. That contrast pulled me in right away.
They were raised to destroy each other. When they finally collide, the tension is instant, and falling for each other only turns an already deadly situation into something worse.
Siobhan’s father is deteriorating, her cousin is circling for power, and the rival family is closing in fast. Once Liam steps fully into her world and claims her, nothing becomes safer. Everything escalates. One of my favorite moments is the scene between Liam and Siobhan’s cousin, where Liam makes it painfully clear that he wants her no matter the consequences. That was the moment where his obsession and his willingness to burn everything down for her really clicked for me.
The tension between them feels earned, and the chemistry never drops when they are on the page together. The action stays tight, the violence feels real, and the pacing never drags.
As the start of a new Eve Newton series, this hit exactly how I wanted it to. Dark, ruthless, fast-paced, and completely addictive. I finished the book already wanting the next one.

Do you love the Irish Mafia?
Do you love the forbidden kind of love?
Do you love all the spice?
Who am I kidding of course you answered yes!
Why else would you be here on the queens reviews!!!
Eve absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one.
The warring between the two families makes you think that our couple can’t have their happily ever after, and who knows maybe they do and maybe they don’t. That’s for you to discover among the delicious pages of this book.
I guarantee you won’t be able to put it down. Almost as if your locked in vice grip from page one.
I can not wait for the rest of the series!!

Eve wrote a deliciously dark, deliciously steamy Irish Mafia book and I could NOT put it down. Rival families and chemistry that sparks when Liam and Siobhan are together. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with so much action and passion. 5/5 ⭐️

Carnage
What a fitting title.....Liam and Siobhan are from rival families, both with agendas for them. But the sparks between these two could start it's own war. This story just pulls you right in, between the heat, rivalry and just the characters you will not be able to put it down.

A new series by Eve Newton brings Irish Mafia, enemies to lovers, destruction and dare I say…..Carnage. In true Eve fashion, the book grips you at the first page and doesn’t stop, not even at the last! Impatiently waiting for the next book!!

Siobhan just wants to run a legitimate gallery. Is that really too much to ask? Well, yes, apparently it is. And when the rival family’s heir comes along and shakes things up, what’s a girl to do? With an ailing father she must defend herself against her ambitious cousin and the rival family head, which you’d think would be easier with the heir declaring she is his. But when has life ever been easy?
With much blood shed and world burning to protect her, Liam means what he says.
An incredibly gripping read, and I was really hoping to get Sean’s story, so I’m glad that’s in the pipeline!

exciting! He falls first and hard!
His feelings are not the only hard thing! He wants the red-haired, green eyed woman like nothing before. And what Liam wants, he takes. She will be his and only his!

Warring families, feuds and right in the middle of it all are Siobhan and Liam. Both of which playing a game of wills with Liam trying to bend Siobhan to do what he wants. Only you can't forget that the strongest piece on the board is the Queen and Siobhan makes sure to make them see that. The attraction that these two characters had together was off of the charts smoking hot!! Knowing they shouldn't want each other but they couldn't help but act on the sparks that they had. My word was this a twistedly brilliant read with characters that kept me on my toes from start to finish. I can't wait to get my hands on more books in this series now. Loved it.

Carnage is hands down the BEST MF Mafia book I have ever read! This was knocked out of the park! The action, the obsession, the spicy and sooooo much more!! Everything was popping and now I feel lonely without Liam. I could read an entire series just about these two characters. Can't wait to see what she does next. I will be getting my hands on this baddie for my collection!
Liam if you are reading this, I love you.

This book had me at Irish Mafia. Absolutely loved the storyline and can’t forget the steam. Can I just say wow. The chemistry between Liam and Siobhan was oh so good. Definitely one of those stories that sucks you right in all the way till the end. Highly recommend especially if you’re into dark mafia with a phenomenal storyline. Such a must read.

Could NOT put it down!
Siobhan and Liam- raised to hate each other, but can't stay away from each other. They chemistry between them....like trying to stop a train. You need to read their story and do not plan anything, because you will not be able to stop reading it like I wasn't able to.

This is a new series of Eve's and just like most her books we get deliciously dark carnage. Enemies to lovers vibes and sparks that fly. I love the chemistry I feel from the characters and the action we get. The worlds that she creates sucks me in for each book I read and this one is no different. Loved it.

Carnage is a fast paced, spicy, dual POV story about Liam and Siobhan. Children of rivalry Irish mobsters. Liam proves that blood isn’t thicker than love and will do anything for Siobhan. These two leave Carnage in the streets of Dublin.

My my my. I love a mafia romance and I love a man that will do anything for his woman! The chemistry between the two main characters is so magnetic it pulls you in and keeps you! Spicy too! Everything I want in a story.
