Im not even sure where or how to begin… This was my first Rina Kent book… and to be honest, it was not what I expected. In a great way.

Perhaps I’ve read too many dark romances I would categorize more as kinky (in a gritty setting.) Perhaps I’ve met too many villains I would consider anti-heroes... But when I read the author’s lengthy trigger warning, I expected nothing more than the usual fanfare.

Boy was I wrong. Make no mistake. When Ms. Rina Kent warns you the MMC is a psychopath, she means ev Im not even sure where or how to begin… This was my first Rina Kent book… and to be honest, it was not what I expected. In a great way.

Boy was I wrong. Make no mistake. When Ms. Rina Kent warns you the MMC is a psychopath, she means every word.

The book begins with the infamous cliff incident… needless to say, it left me feeling… on edge?

That scene didnt read to me as dark romance. There was no blurring of lines. No conflict between resistance and pleasure. And I finally understood what critics of the genre mean when they say: take away the money/power and looks of the MMC and you get a horror story… a thriller at best.

I did not enjoy this scene. Not as a dark romance reader anyway. But it got my attention. Killian, the MMC, is a true psychopath. We are not just told he is. He does not simply hurt bad guys and deserving people…and therefore remain somewhat irreproachable throughout the entire novel, deviating only from societal moral standards… but never those of the intended audience.

And that made all the difference. That cliff scene set the tone for the entire book. For the rest of their relationship. It made the stakes real. When the FMC struggles with her emerging feelings, her reluctance is understandable.

I was engrossed in Killian and Glyn’s dynamic. His needs and desires… and eventually feelings, slowly and realistically morph throughout the story. From something purely predatorial, to something more parasitic. To finally.. something akin to love. It was a fascinating journey, and a believable one. The author excelled at making me see the FMC through his eyes. I understood what made her special to him. Why HER… and not the others… and that is no easy task.

The fact that the book BEGINS with the cliff scene… and somehow… Ms. Rina Kent still managed to lure me in alongside the FMC is quite impressive.

All in all, most definitely not a book I would widely recommend. But if you are familiar with my tastes… and share them… Then yes. Absolutely yes. Go for it. ...more

RINA KENT REALLY SAID "READING SLUMP? NOT ON MY WATCH."

This woman is my SAVIOR when nothing else is hitting. You know that feeling when you're in a reading slump and every book feels like a chore? Yeah, Rina Kent doesn't allow that in her presence. God of Malice grabbed me by the throat from page one and didn't let go until I finished it at 4 AM with zero regrets.

Killian Carson is absolutely FERAL and I'm here for every unhinged moment. This man looked at the concept of boundaries and ...more

I can’t deal w this anymore. It’s just so bad the writing is so bad. I don’t even classify this as ‘dark’ because it’s written so poorly. Plain stupid. I’m sick of these rich kids all having some mental problem. Can’t they just be enjoying their life in school and falling in love. Their childhood trauma or grief has to be CONSTANTLY mentioned, and is the reason for every single decision they make. What happened to growth and character development?

And it’s every single book in this se ...more

So Killian won me over in the end 😅

“I love you enough to let you within my walls. I love you enough to let you talk to my demons. I love you enough to allow you to have a hold over me when I've never allowed anyone to have the power to destroy me from the inside out.” ...more
