Horace Shingles is back in town for a very important case as an innocent man's life hangs in the balance. He ends up hanging out with his best friend, Greg O'Brien, on the first night, and Greg informs him of his current plight with his fiancee, Pamela Brown. She failed to come home the previous night, and Greg suspects that she might be cheating on him. Subsequently, Greg and Horace decide to go to Hooters to let off some steam, and Horace meets a beautiful girl named Madison Flowers. They exchange numbers, and at first, everything seems to go well between the two of them. However, things aren't what they appear to be with Madison, and Horace ultimately has some tough decisions to make. Agents of Chaos is the second installment of this urban fiction series that's full of love, drama, betrayal, and even murder inside of Atlanta's favorite clique.

Wonderfully Relatable

Simply written, “Agents of Chaos” takes us through a few different types of relationships: friendship and romance with some betrayal. I love the interactions between Horace and Greg. They are every-day conversations any two friends would have. This, I feel, helps make the book a bit more relatable as it reminds me of how my best friend and I talk to each other. There is enough drama to keep the reader entertained and wanting to know what is going on with Greg’s girlfriend as well as who Madison could possibly be. I think this is better suited to young adults, and would recommend it to them. While there are some adult themes, they are not too deep to be considered fully adult. Overall, I liked the book and want to read the first one.

This is the second book in the series “Greg O’Brien”, a fiction that intermingles interpersonal conflicts, daily life events, love and deception. Keeping the reader on the edge of their seat at all times, this book quickly made me immerse into the lives of its entangled protagonists. As soon as I realised this book narrated a continuation of the lives of the characters in the first book, I had to get it and read it. I loved this story.
In this new instalment, the writer has managed to reproduce the excellent writing style of his previous works and to keep the reader interested. Expectation and willingness to discover what will happen in the daily lives of the characters are skilfully motivated by the writer’s prose. I enjoyed a lot this great read and I highly recommend it.

Agents of Chaos: A Greg O'Brien Novel is the second instalment of the Quad Life urban fiction series. This novel was written by gifted Chicago author Mark Stephen O’Neal, who has already published thirteen novels.
This is mainly a story about two friends who have known each other forever and their romantic lives. All the condiments are spread over the male-female bond that adds savour and colour, and laughter and joy to this promising thrill.
This book has all the elements a great book should have. The brilliant wording used by the author allowed me to get into the heads of the characters and made me want to keep on reading more. This is an excellent piece of fiction and I'm planning to look at his other books very soon!

A sit-back-and-enjoy book

“Agents of Chaos” is a book that promises CHAOS from the title to the end. This is a story about a romance, a treason and a long-lasting friendship. This title is the second book of the series named “Quad Life”.

The story is nicely written, with simple language and every-day conversations. The tone of the book is lively, and the plot is entertaining.

There are no deep values explored in this book, but it makes for a good source of entertainment. The characters are relatable, the conducting idea is believable, and the chaos described prevented me from leaving the book aside.

I recommend this reader to young adults because it is compelling.

Although this was the second instalment in a series, I felt like the story read well as a stand-alone novel and I was able to quickly pick up on the first instalment due to the author's quality writing. I liked that each character had a clear representation of their personalities depicted and each was presented uniquely. This is a perfect story for readers who enjoy a story packed with drama and unfolding truths as the characters work towards finding out who is honest and true and who is stemming from deceit. This one was a quick read that I was able to enjoy in one sitting and a great way to pass some time.

An Intriguing novel from beginning to end
What a compelling novel! “Agents of Chaos: a Greg O´Brien novel” is the second book from the series called “Quad Life”. Mark Stephen O´Neil is the author of this gripping story full on mystery and drama.
With an intriguing and compelling plot, I must say that I enjoyed it very much! There are so many twists and turns that I could not put it down. Apart from that, the characters are well-developed and dynamic, making the story more interesting. Their dialogues are very realistic, which makes it easy to be inside this twisted tale full of lies, betrayals, unexpected events and drama. I recommend it to readers fond of these themes.

“Agents of chaos” is the second book in the Quad Life series, written by Author Mark O'Neal. This is a short read that is both entertaining and well written. It is a very good read for teens and young adults but I believe that older adults may find something to appreciate as well.
The narrative is clear and good, and chapters are mostly short. Due to this, it certainly reads fast; I devoured it in a single day. I liked how the author managed to create these believable characters that are very well developed.
I recommend reading this story. I will surely continue reading O’Neal’s books.
