Welcome To The Heart Of A Maniac 3
The shocking truth about Big John explodes into the open, shaking the Saint-Mercier world to its core. Just when the family thinks they’ve finally found peace, a new enemy emerges from the shadows, determined to strip the Saint-Merciers of their power and willing to spill blood to do it.
With a baby on the way, Wren’s only focus is making sure her child enters a safe world, even if it means paying the ultimate cost. As secrets surface and bodies drop, loyalty is tested and lines are crossed.
Now the question can the Saint-Merciers hold on to their throne… or will this be the war that finally breaks them?

Great Read
I wasn't even surprised that Wren ex Cassius ended up dead. He should've stayed in his lane. I felt sorry for Wren because she was caught in the middle of the bs her father was starting with Maniac. I don't understand why Big John came back all these years after supposedly being dead. He didn't come back to have a father and daughter relationship with Wren and Tyree was already murdered when he popped up. It didn't make sense why he faked his death because he turned snitch, but came back trying to take over. Maniac really trie to give Big John the benefit of doubt because he knew killing him would hurt Wren but Wren soon learned that her father wasn't the man she remembered when she saw he had another secret life. Wren was completely hurt, pissed, and felt betrayed by Big John to the point she cut him off and dgaf what Maniac did to him. I laughed so damn hard at Maniac crazy ass and all Wren cat's. Especially the car Zilla. He was Maniac Karna from stealing him from that old lady. I'm surprised Wren didn't realize who Oscar was when Maniac brought him home. I wasn't shocked when it was revealed that Aria was the woman Wicked was talking to. When they finally met. Although Wicked was almost at the end of his thirteen year sentence. He definitely stepped up and showed Aria what he was about. Too bad he almost lost his life and Aria bolted at the first sign of trouble. As crazy as Aria is. I had a feeling she may not be able to deal with a man like Wicked because he was just as crazy as his brother Maniac.

Meh
Did this series really need to be 3 books? Absolutely not! It was so repetitive and unnecessary. Maniac was literally going killing people with no mask and leaving witnesses behind but was not arrested not once. Wren was a little naive which was weird because she stated that her taught her the game.Aria was confusing to me why up and change on that man like that when you already knew what him and his family were around? So when you changed your number you return the whip and cash? I doubt it. Idk I wanted to like this series it was just a lot and nothing made sense. Also can we PLEASE start getting editors or at least proofread your work authors. There are too many grammatical errors and misspelled words. Yes it’s your work but you also want ppl to spend their money on said work. Sorry but a book riddled with errors…no one wants that.

Loved It
Thank goodness, Maniac wasn't harmed! Big John wasn't ish & truly did not care about Wren or his brother! Maniac didn't play about Wren, he was doing any and everything for her, but those cats were whew child needy! Now Aria, know she need someone in her life, so why couldn't bit have been Wicked, she could be worry about his lifestyle, but she never told him about Zion..... I loved the epilogue and I know there's more o come with Wicked and Luxe could use someone in her life as well!

Pressure
I loved this series. Maniac was crazy i loved how he loved wren, though. I hated everything she went through. I was happy to see her finally be happy and at peace . I loved the saint- Mercier family and how they stuck together. Aria was my favorite she was the ultimate best friend to wren. .I hope she gets her happily ever after she deserves it. I can't wait for the next series to start. I have a feeling wicked is about to be more unhinged than his brother

good ending to a story
See I knew I wasn’t going crazy when I said I didn’t like Big John. I knew he was a piece of trash when he popped back up. Maniac still had me laughing my behind off with his shenanigans. I feel like every book he got a little more unhinged. I was very disappointed in Ari because I had high hopes for her. I do understand that the Saint-Mercer family is violent but I knew Wicked would never put her in danger. I hope he gets a story, I liked him.

Wren..
Stayed true to herself the entire story, she loves anime, video games, reading smut novels and her family… Maniac grew a lot during the story he fell in love at first sight and stalked and claimed Wren.. He did anything for her even kidnap an old women’s cat.. hated said cat and tortured said cat.. too funny.. He loved his people hard.. He spoiled his wife and made all her dreams come true.. Sorry about Wicked…

loved this series
This tied everything up very nicely. I loved Wren and Maniac and how they loved each other. They’re bond those two have is everything. I was hoping that Wicked and Aria explored what could have been, but understand that life is not for everyone. Big John was crazy to think he would escape Maniac’s wrath. All in all, LOVE the storyline and can’t wait to read another book by Taniece. Go gurl!!! 💜

great ending to a great series!
Maniac was true to his maniacal self until the very end and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. His beef with the cats had me hollering! Wren’s sweet self really fell in love with a maniac and loved him for who he was. I cannot wait to see what is in store for Wicked!

Outstanding read. Maniac was really a maniac but when it came to Wren he was a teddy bear. Big John got everything he deserved. I'm so glad that Wicked pulled through and I can't wait till he comes and claim his throne and Aria because ain't no way he's letting her get away that easily.😍😍

I think Maniac is the most unhinged/funny MMC that I have ever read. When I tell you him and Oscar/Zilla had me crying they had my stomach hurt. I can't wait for Wicked's book. I hope him and Aria can figure it out but this series was sooooooooo good and funny. One thing Maniac didn't do was play about Wren. LOL! definitely 5 stars!!!!

No Ma’am
This book should have centered around Wicked and Aria with snippets of Wren and Maniac. I’m guessing there is another book coming. The first 80% of the book was talk unalive adult activity every chapter. I swear she was pregnant for a year. The “ending” was rushed. Overall this could have gone in a different direction and been better. But it didn’t. Now I’m sad.

Yyyyeeeeesssss!!
I just love this couple and everybody around them. I was so glad Big John was killed, because he was so dang trifling! I enjoyed the ride we went on with this couple from start to finish and I can’t wait for the next series with Wicked…I’m actually anticipating Luxe’s story🤭…

Taniece you did the darn thing with this series. It was so good. I hate to see it end. I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait for Wicked’s story because I know I’m going to love him like I loved Maniac. This is most definitely a must read. I highly recommend it. You deserve more than 5 stars…

Reader/gamer/cat lady and Mr. Unhinged himself
I just love Wren and Maniac. They deserved this HEA cause he took my girl through it all three books. I’m excited for Wicked story, will Aria stand on business or fold when he comes home.

Maniac
Maniac had the right name. If this man didn’t have me laughing at him and them cats. I wanted to see more with Wicked and Aria and hated the way things ended with Wren’s dad. But other than that, I loved the series.

This is one of my favorite series. The title definitely describes the story within and more. The characters are a crazy, different, interesting, and likeable with a crazy love.

Let me start by saying I loved books 1 & 2, but book 3 was just a lot of sexing and not a lot of anything else. I wished book two could have just ended this series and this book was about Wicked and Aria. I am very interested in their story and can't wait to read it.

Maniac
The high point of part three is when Maniac duct taped the stolen cat Oscar/Zilla to the wall! OK, there were other highlights I liked better! This series was excellent! Five stars!

Nine lives
LORD! This was good all the way to the end. I enjoyed the way it wrapped up. I like that its setting the stage for Wicked's story. Her father was so trifling. He had more lives than her cats

Many secrets were exposed at the end of book 2. I feel like this book took a minute to pick up where book two left off and then everything was rushed. Like what was the significance of stealing the cat. I would’ve liked more time spent on big John betrayal and developing wicked. It was perfect for introducing wicked and hopefully a setup for a spin off.
