The Carnage series began with The Story of Us in 2014 and has become Lesley Jones’s most popular work. The series follows an intense love story filled with drama, heartbreak, and second chances. The Story of Me (2014) continued the narrative, and later books like Marley (2015) and The Letters (2016) expanded the world and characters.
After a gap following A Different Kind of December (2017), Jones returned to the series with The Interview (2025) and The Definition of Insanity (2026). The Carnage books are known for their emotional weight and the kind of all-consuming romance that keeps readers deeply invested in the characters’ outcomes.
