Rina Kent

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a new STANDALONE dark romance about a villain and his new obsession.

I caught the attention of a monster.
I didn’t ask for it.
Didn’t even see it coming.
But the moment I do, it’s too late.
Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.
He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.
The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.
I do.
And that will cost me everything.
I run, but the thing about monsters?
They always chase.

This book is not a conventional romance and contains themes that aren't to everyone's liking. Please check the author's note before reading.

A Dark College Romance (Legacy of Gods #1)

God of Malice

alexa xanadu

“If you want love, then I do love you, but it’s the unorthodox version of love. 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”

I try not to think about the position I’m in. On the edge, on my knees, about to fall back, with a maniac using my mouth to get off.

"You have a pretty little face that looks erotic when being fucked."

RacquelElizabeth

I actually don't want her dead and I'm ready to fight my demons so they'll aban- don the urge to see inside her.

New resolution--always be in a position to feel her pulse, because that beautiful fucker never lies.

Killian’s book was talked about so much in the book community that i wanted to know what was so special about him, and now I know. It was all over booktok, one of the reasons why i even bought this book, and miss ma’am rina, i bow to you, this book took me on a hell of ride, which I loved til the end. 

Dark romances are all so good, and delicious in a way, but this one was so goooood, i knew I would love Killian, and i had second thoughts too, but we’ll pretend the cliff scene is non existent, thank you. 

Summary :<spoiler> glyndon is drowning in guilt for her friend’s death, blames herself for it. And therefore she’s at the cliff where he allegedly pushed himself, and died, she went there to get some air, only to encounter the monster of her life —killian Carson, who tells her “blow me or die” 👺😭 this mannn— 

The story progresses after that, but we get interactions between niko, Jeremy, crieghton, Annika, and many more. The plot only picks up after the 50% mark, after glyn is falling for Killian, and then finds out that he had a hand in driving her friend to kill himself. She distances herself from him, but Killian does not let her go, obviously because in his head, she’s different, and makes his demons rest. He also finds out that his mother isn’t scared of him, but for the things he could do. They have a sweet family reunion. And then someone beats glyndon, only to find out that it was the said friend who orchestrated all this. The plot was so good, at that point. And, then Killian with his friends of course, beats the shit out of the said friend too. His girl will not be hurt by anyone. He protects her, and also confesses to her, and the part where glyn realizes that he does love her, is also the part where i think rina may have fallen for Killian too while writing, because each and every word is so beautiful. I will anything rina writes. She’s my favourite writer. Enough of that, and then Killian takes her to the same cliff, and proposes to her, and hea.</spoiler>

Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (i loved this story too much)

Writing style : eloquent and precise. Rina never fails to write the most mature characters perfectly, miss ma’am surely eats perfection when she’s writing. All the books in this series don’t feel like a book, they feel like the story were real. 

MMC : Killian Carson — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

side characters :  levi and Astrid stood out to me, i now understand — even without having read their book— why they have three kids. Maybe it’s time to go read the dad’s book. 

Dedicated to by the author : to all the people who love unapologetic villains, hell to the fucking yeah, miss rina, let me give you a kiss, because you wrote Killian so well, he felt so real to me, i love that man, and you. 

Pacing : slow to medium to fast. The plot starts making sense after the 50% mark. 

Tropes : contemporary, dark romance, dark college romance, touch her and die, possessive MMC, obsessive MMC, over the top hero, morally black MMC, who did this to you MMC. 

Type of romance : dark. (Please be careful when you pick this book, it is dark, keep your mental health a priority)

What i loved : i loved Killian, I knew i would love him at the beginning of the book, and after i turned more pages, this man — even nonchalance would bow at his feet, he’s so calm in the most terrifying of situations, does not blink, does not get threatened, in fact enjoys the thrill of seeing inside things he finds curious. 

I loved glyn, she fought him, but also surrendered to him in the right amount of push and pull. I think i may have fallen for the dad, levi. His name is so attractive — sir levi king, i need to go read your book, but my tbr is crying already. 😩😭

Favourite parts/ highlights : the banter between the main characters, lol. It’s so funny and touching. 

<Blockquote>“i get they all think you’re an exemplary student.” “I <i>am</am> an exemplary Student. How do you think I got into med school?”</blockquote>

<Blockquote>“back at the topic at hand. Do I have your admiration?” “for what?” “for being a first - class genius.”</blockquote>

<Blockquote>“i’ll have you know that my secondary school boyfriend had a huge dick.” “you said that to piss me off, didn’t you?”</blockquote> 

glyn is such a diva, along with Mia. Who calls landon a motherfucking tool. 😂

<Blockquote> “you chose me.” “what?” “back there, you chose me in front of your brother. Brothers, plural. And that fucker eli.” shit, he was conscious during that? Killian kisses the top of my head, and before i can backpedal, he says words that go straight to my heart.“I’ll make sure you always choose me as much as I choose you.”</blockquote>

<Blockquote>“i’m going to fuck up his life, no only for thinking he could manipulate me but also for daring to put his filthy hands on what’s mine. ” </blockquote> 

Killian possessiveness is so attractive, ugh 😩🥵🤌🏼

Interconnected/ or standalone : interconnected standalone. But this is the first book, so you can start with this one. 

I understand why the cover is red, because red is killian’s favorite colour, associated with blood. He has this urges to kill, to experiment, but they only lessen in number because of glyndon, he only wanted to be chosen, and i love him, so much. He’s my new favorite psychopath. 

If it makes you want to read more MMC like these, then do check out the web of silence duet — little stranger and little liar by Leigh Rivers. Malachi will surely steal your heart, if you loved Killian.

I usually don't give up on books no matter what I'm feeling about them and finish them...

I got 350 pages in and had to skim through the rest.

I fear that everyone in this book, literally everyone, is clinically insane.

This was literally a horror novel to me. I felt no romance within it's pages. I get it's a dark romance, but if Killian didn't "magically" feel that Glyn enjoyed his kidnapping, assault, threats, bodily harm, etc. then this is literally a book about a rape/kidnapping victim.

I'm so glad that she vibed with it, because encountering someone like Killian is actually a major fear of mine. So I'm glad it worked for her, but I don't know how something like this would work for anyone.

Someone that doesn't take no for an answer, is super controlling, enjoys hurting others, fantasizes about murder, etc. Like he is actually the worst. He literally would hunt her down and punish her for thinking for herself, and she got excited from it somehow.

Forgive me if it does for you, but this takes violence and abuse and puts it on the next level.

From even the first page I was disturbed.

I wanted to read this book before I got to Jeremy/Landon's book, but I should've just went to Jeremy; though I read that each man in the book is basically the same person with different backstories, so I don't know if I even plan on doing that now.

I have read dark romances before, but nothing this heinous. There needs to be a little romance for me, just a tad, and all I felt for this was horror and disgust.

Whatever toots other's horns, fine. But for me, this is a 

Sorry Killian, but you have to take this no as it actually is and go away.

Okay for me the writing in this book was so chaotic it was hard to follow at times. 

I get the set up for the rest of the series but there are soooooooo many characters it made it hard to develop the main characters and connect with them 

Will I continue the series? Yes because I’m a sucker for punishment

Will I continue the series? Yes because I’m a sucker for punishment 

I was on and off with this book, sometimes I took breaks because I wanted to be more invested in it, other times I was all in and felt myself being intrgued by the characters and plot

I related a lot to Kill and Glyn's story, I connected with Glyndon's process of emotions regarding Killian, seeing him for what he was then slowly trying to understand him and in the end, making him a better person, that's every love story but I still found it very relatable

Killian's character was interesting and although I'm not used to reading about psychopaths, I feel like being in his head could have been accurate to people with aspd, but I've never really met anyone with it (that I know of) so I can't say for sure

The writing was fast paced and I was on and off with wanting to read the rest of the series and stopping after this book

I really liked the side characters in this book who I know will get their own book in the rest of the series. Also loved how the author chose to hint at literally all the couples in this book, interesting choice and probably a smart one

A few side characters that suprised me was Annika and Cecily, based on edits I've seen of them, they appeared to be more introverted and savage, however Annika is the sweetest girl here and Cecily is a girl who can hold her own in an argument, love both

I'm still not sure if this book is a 4 star for me or not,   

The writing sometimes felt cringe and the vocabulary felt very stereotypical and what I usually find in popular dark romance books, also the amount of smut lowk turned me off 

I guess also seeing all the true love that was depicted in the book felt unrealistic to me, but that's probably just because I'm being pessimistic

However it was sweet, if I take a step away from my experiences and obervations it was lowk beautiful to see both Killian's parents and Glyndon's parents love each other with so much devotion

I also loved the pov we got of Astrid, she seem so genuinely sweet and caring

Man was psychotic what what can I say it was a pretty good books⛓️ I was questioning ALOT about Killian because of his killing nature god but if it was real I would jump off the cliff from the first chapter. Anyways gotta get back to rest of the series for Bran and Niko✌🏻💕

I read this since it was the book choice in the book club I joined in the Fable app, and I almost did not finish it. The male lead character, a “wannabe” psycho, and an alpha male with daddy issues raped a suicidal female lead with an inferior complex. The main characters appear to have a dull or “narrow” problem, the only reason behind the story. It was okay for me to have a story that reflects a real-life young adult problem, but it turns out to be forced just for the sake of having this story. However, I appreciate the plot twist, which is just 5% of the book, since the rest was just the main characters saying, thinking, and doing the F-word.

The writing reads like Wattpad vibes from my younger years, and the conversation in the story feels too childish despite being set in a college timeline where the characters are supposedly young adults. The story was overwhelmed with side characters that were so unnecessary in this series that it reads like this story is to introduce and have a glimpse of every character for the entire series.

Despite each book being standalone, I probably will not continue reading the whole series. I cannot recommend this to those readers whose cup of tea is mature dark romances, but to those who are into “cute” dark fantasies, this one is probably for you.

Cori

Read this before the whole series but I can’t wait to read the rest of the series <3

i am starting to feel like i'm being sucked in into the rina kent word and i am not sorry for that even tho i'm not reading in order BUT i don't if i'm afraid of killian or if i found him hot, definitely more the 2nd option then the first but this was so good i was just wanting read more non stop 

- "As she watches the fireflies, I watch her. I'm captured in a chokehold by the way her shoulders relax and her lips fall open. And the way her eyes reflect the yellow lights like a mirror. They're shining, brighter, faster, and I don't think about it as I pull out my phone and take a picture. Commemorating the moment feels like a need instead of a mere action. It's not impulse either; it's much fucking worse."

- "So that's what you are now, my victim? I like that. And no, this is where I come to when I want to be alone, so you're the first."
"I'm a lot of firsts."
"I'm surprised by that, too."

- "How did the number decrease?"
"With your presence."
"W-what?"
"You make the demons go away, even temporarily."
"How?"
"Beats me. Whatever it is you're doing, keep doing it. I like how quiet it is up here."

- "She spins around and faces me. Her cheeks are red and her honey-colored hair flies in the wind. Now, I don't know what angels look like and probably never will-thank fuck I have a designated place in hell but she's the closest thing to an angel I've ever seen. My own angel."

- "People say their life flashes before their eyes in the last moments, but that's not what happens. My life isn't what I see. It's Glyndon smiling. I always liked her sweet little smile, probably because it was rarely ever directed at me. She's smiling at me now, calling my name, but I can't hear her."

- "You chose me."
"What?"
"Back there, you chose me in front of your brother. Brothers, plural. And that fucker Eli." 
"I'll make sure you always choose me as much as I choose you."

- "(...) You're the one who keeps my demons at bay, the one who makes me look forward to new days. You're the only red in my black-and-white world. You're my fucking purpose, but he hurt you. He put his hands on what belongs to me. On my girl." "Listen to me and listen to me well, Glyndon. I spent my whole life repressing my true nature, but I'd willingly embrace my demons for you. I'd turn into the devil, a monster, and whatever weapon I have to be if it means I can protect you."

- "Am I special?"
"If you weren't, would I waste my time trying to see things from your perspective? I'm not an altruistic man, never was and never will be, but you're part of me now, so I'll get used to thinking the way you do."

- "Understand this, Glyndon, there's nothing noble or tender about what I feel for you. It's a violent volcano of obsession, possession, and deranged lust. If you want love, then I do love you, but it's the unorthodox version of love. 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 "

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was my first time reading a Rina Kent book and, wow, what a rollercoaster. From the beginning, to the end of this book, it kept me on my toes. I’ve never read a book so slow on purpose in my life, but there's a first time for everything, right? This book had me questioning everything and everyone. But that’s why this book was so great. I had no clue what was going to happen and I just enjoyed the ride. Killian and Glyndon are such a different couple than others I’ve read in the past. The chemistry, obsession, and darkness between them never let me lose interest. If anything I was even more intrigued by their dynamic. The constant push and pull between them is addictive. There’s nothing like being obsessed with a literal psychopath in a book. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait for the rest of this series. I think this was a great introduction into this new/next generation series. Though I didn't read the first generation couples, I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I am, however, going to go back and read all of Rina’s backlist!

Also, please be mindful of the trigger warnings for this book, read them and make sure they’re something you’d be okay with reading. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

idc how dark the romance is, nothing excuses sexual assault.

This is a dark romance book ladies, u can't just say it's too much that's exactly what dark romance is all about. 

Tip: if you're going to read dark romance you better leave your feminism at the front door, 'cause once you're in it's all about toxic masculinity.

Me gustó bastante, lo devoré rápido, es de fácil lectura y muy adictivo, como todo lo de esta autora jejjeje.

Firstly I wanna say check for TW !! Also I know most of y'all are gonna be mad for certain topics and whatever but a dark romance isn't dark without those tropes even if they are brutal !! It was nicely done, I flew through it and all but it wasn't a 5 star for me only because there are way better books of this type and a lot of them by rina kent herself !! One thing I wanna say is that Rina Kent's books are the best to get you out of the reading slump!! And I kinda guessed the plot twist ( about Devlin ) way sooner like in the 4th chapter only that was kind of a disappointment but overall I liked it, don't trust my rating I give it very carefully I literally only have 3 or 4 books that are 5 star reads for me !! Anyways I wanna read this whole series soon !!

Lover of Romance 

I realized that I had forgotten to write a review for this one and felt like I definitely should get some thoughts in even if its not a long in depth review. I will say that this book was PURE MAGIC for me. I will be honest in that I have been struggling with Rina Kent of late. I have been wanting to love her stuff but just haven't gotten around to trying more. Well I had been seeing readers rave about "God of Malice" on Bookstagram, and I just decided to try her again and what do you know, this book was EVERYTHING I needed and more. I have never felt so touched by such an insane dark romance, it did remind me in some ways of"Untouchable" by Sam Mariano. 

God of Malice is a story that starts off with a non consent/dubious consent type of scene but somehow it works for me, don't ask me how but it was so crazy but I was in the mood for something so out of the world and bananas. I honestly adored seeing the way that this author cultivated this story. This features a psychological crazy hero haha so know what you are getting into. The heroine is just right for him, she knows exactly how to keep him in line. The way that she is able to connect with him and the bond that they are able to form was so wonderful. I enjoyed all the friendships that are built within this one, and I can't wait for the other books in the series. I hope time goes by fast so they get released quickly. 

Overall I found God of Malice to be a superb thrilling romance that curled my toes and I couldn't seem to get enough of.
