    okay so WOW ms. rina did NOT come to fucking play with these two.

    Jeremy & Cecily were the couple I did not expect whatsoever going into this series and I had no idea what their book would be or where it would go.

    but HOLY FUCKING SHIT this book was fucking AMAZINGGGGG.

    Jeremy, like father like fucking son. He was boy obsessed and I am so in love with him. He was the perfect mix of possessive, not too much not too little, he also totally had a softer side, but ONLY for his family and Cecily of course. GUYS HE LEGIT COUNTED EVERY FRECKLE ON HER FACE LIKEEEE😩 Somebody get me a man like that. He also had a more insecure side which I feel we don't really see in other book men and I really liked that. We got to see him have to work through his past trauma and face it so he could be with Cecily. I just really liked that he was the insecure one rather than the girl like it always seems to be.

    I really, REALLY love Cecily. Watching her in the beginning of the book to the end you can CLEARLY see the character development. Seeing her grow into her own skin and feel comfortable in herself was a masterpiece in itself. And I loved how yes, Jeremy helped her with moving on from her past and growing into herself, but she also did a lot of work on her own. She wasn't completely dependent on him.

    Their spice, while primal is not my fave, was SO HOT. All I have to say is the russian roulette scene HAS NOT LEFT MY MIND. That shit was fucking crazy and I LOVED IT.

    Oh, another thing! I loved the parallels between JerCes and AdrianLia. I'm not going to say much cause of spoilers for both books, but I could totally see AdrianLia in them and I just ate that up. Jeremy just literally wanted to help Ces at first and ughhh this man is just- I love him.

    If you didn't get this message from this review well then here you go: READ THIS FUCKING BOOK. IT'S AMAZING. MS. RINA KENT FUCKING SERVED AND I WISH I COULD LIVE IN HER BRAIN.

    My words do nothing compared to hers, so GO READ THIS.

    This is a wonderful epic conclusion deserves 5 stars!
    As we continue with this epic conclusion you will enjoy a tale of revenge, passion, and redemption with everything hanging in the balance. I have to say that I was reluctant to listen this book but during the beginning chapters, and it was only because I knew that the author was going to turn everything around and keep me riveted.
    The more I listen to
    audiobook version - God of Wrath - the more I was drawn into the story as we witness the power of forgiveness, love and once again good versus evil.
    I have to say that to listen this epic conclusion to a series that I fully enjoyed was a great experience as we find out just how the lying, the betraying, and the secrets coming to light will keep everyone on the edge of their seats waiting to see how this author would handle it. I loved Kent's dramatic conclusion to the series.
    I can't wait to listen to her next book because every chapter gives a flavor for more! I love how the narrator uses her voice to heighten tension and conflict in some scenes, while in other chapters her voice conveys anguish and love.
    I am drawn to the world of gods and mortals!
    Thanks for sharing!

    - re-read n°2: 4.25 stars

    i just wanted to re-read the Russian Roulette scene, but ended up devouring this whole book all over again lmao. there is just something about jeremycecily that speaks to me. i love them <3

    ***

    Rina Kent is altering my brain chemistry with this series. i don't even recognize myself anymore 🤣

    God of Wrath had a reverse "oh god, Rachel" moment (kinda) and the way it fucked with Jeremy's soul and made him insecure lol that was some good shit 🤌

  • ellie

    i truly hated everything about this book i wish i could rip my eye sockets out and get someone to scoop my brain out so i can forget every detail about this god awful book someone help me

    3.5 stars. Y'all can delude yourself, beat your chests and bang your heads against the nearest wall, but still nothing will change the fact that Annika and Creighton being two rigid pieces of wood dry humping each other monotonously throughout the duration of the previous book, GOP, made Cecily (h) and Jeremy (H) doing the bare minimum here sound like the spiciest shit RK has ever written.



    Hehehe. Just kidding.

    Cecily and Jeremy definitely weren't just doing the bare minimum. They were extra busy being toxic and cute and dysfunctional as fuck together. <333

    ”He leans over and presses his tongue to my lid, licking my tears before they even escape, then whispers against my skin, “Don’t cry when we haven’t started yet.”
    A sob escapes my lungs, and I place two trembling hands on his chest. “I-I’m drunk. I won’t be able to fight you.”
    “You wouldn’t be able to fight me even if you weren’t drunk.”

    I was living for Jeremy threatening to rat her having primal play kink out to anyone who'd listen, fucking her mouth like it's the last blowjob he's gonna get and licking her like a madman while she's dead drunk and completely out of it, going through her clothing items and manga collection so that he could buy her some of both later on to make her late-night visits at his gothic mansion extra comfy, hacking into all of her devices and stalking her every step like he has no job or hobby or life whatsoever.

    I really need to become a Russian mafia prince as soon as possible, I could use some of the free time the position obviously implies.

    Apparently when someone says a red flag I just wanna see how red it can truly get. <333

    Unlike Killian the Clown from GOM — a funny caricature of a "psychopath", and the blandest piece of ominous silence — Creighton from GOP, Jeremy was a very intense boi who didn't shy away from turning a little rough and unhinged here and there. He really had the air of a guy who'd keep pushing the line. Why? Because he can. 😍
    If you hide, we’ll do it my way.

    His POV was definitely leaning to the 'ridiculous' rather than 'dangerous', but he still sounded less caricature than the guys from the previous 2 books.

    So far in this series, he was the only hero who wasn't all about 'dark' talk and no action: the way he just casually trampled over any bitch who had ever wronged his girl, no matter how grave the offence. 😍

    Jer actually had some edge about him even if that edge was tame (but expecting anything more from Rina Kent would be pure dystopia). Confined in Kent's quite generic writing and imagination, Jeremy was actually doing his best to resemble an authentically unhinged anti-hero. RK version that is. 💀💀

    Also I must admit this book has my favorite thing ever in this world: the hero sweating hard in the face of a competition. 😏 The fact that he believed Cecily loved the other man throughout almost the entire book was sending me into a place that felt suspiciously similar to heaven.

    Like... yesssss, bitch, make that entitled prick lose his shit about the OM. 😈

    I don't often enjoy any real OM/OW drama because it rarely doesn't take away too much from the romance (for my liking), but like a good little extreme angst whore, I'm always there for the feels, the heartbreak and MCs loosing their last brain cells, tears and nerve cells over each other, so some superficial or even completely fake OM/OW stuff blown out of proportion by the MCs' assumptions is my kryptonite. Since RK is what many would call a safe author (she doesn't write sharing/cheating), I was pleasantly surprised by how much jealousy was involved here. Proves that one doesn't need any detail sex scenes with other people to create the additional angst.


    When Jer texted Landon back on Cecily's behalf a few involuntarily giggles burst out of me because there's nothing like a calm, collected man loosing his shit out of jealous rage, you know?
    Cecily: I’ll be careful.
    Landon: That’s my Ces. Stay safe. I mean it.
    My Ces.
    My. Ces.
    It takes everything in me not to smash the phone to pieces.

    You mad? 😌😌
    ”I’ll take your cunt over and over until there’s nothing left for that motherfucker Landon.”

    Good for her. I guess.

    I also really appreciated that RK didn't take the usual "insta-love/lust" direction in this book (GOP, I'm looking at you). Both Jeremy and Cecily were attracted to each other from the start, but they didn't magically fall in love and assumed they were soulmates by the third meeting. Their dynamic was much more intense and tension-filled due to their conflicting feelings and emotions and the fact that Cecily was still attracted to Landon for some time.

    I think Cecily wasn't a bad heroine, certainly nothing too original or special, but she didn't annoy me. I really appreciated that she kept showing her backbone steadily, as in she wasn't settling for anything less from Jeremy than she wanted to get from him once she started developing feelings for him.

    As for the negatives,

    I don't want to get repetitive and mention all the issues I have with RK's books. If you read my reviews you already know about them and they still remain true because apparently RK doesn't evolve or change as a writer. She keeps writing the same shit all over again and we keep reading it. Love that for us, I guess.

    The only difference is that some of her books feature characters so bland and boring that they don't work even paired with soap opera-esque brand of events, while others lack any type of self-awareness and control that they're so bad it's almost good.

    As far as this book is concerned, I found it really hard to get through the first 10-15% of the book because the whole 'chasing her in the woods to let her rape fantasy come true', 'oh no I have a primal play kink' and 'only I understand your darkness' thing reminded me too much of Naomi × Seb's book ( +Jeremy's dirty talk reminded me a lot of Killian, I'm pretty positive some of Jer's scenes where he forces Cecily are an almost word for word copy paste from GOM, oops).

    The way themes like rape fantasy and trauma were approached as well as Jer and Cecily's character portrayals didn't come off authentic. But the story got better eventually. My heart even fluttered a little when Jer called her "my Cecily" for the first time. That should count for something. 🥰🥰🥰

    Not gonna lie, this book is still your typical RK book with cardboard characters (a mix of her usual characters), mediocre writing and a flair for exalted passions, sentimental emotions and traumatic past that makes her characters "special" and "hard to be accepted by society". Lol.

    Also, I think that the passionate kiss right after Cecily had vomitted was just so unnecessary. RK should have made her rinse her mouth first or something. Jeremy fingering Cecily on the ground, covered in mud, wasn't the most hygienical sight to behold ever. On the bright side, I had such a good laugh after coming across the quote where Cecily's "mouth kissing the dirt". Finally RK heroine whose mouth is being used appropriately XD.

    All in all, I had a lot of fun reading this book. It has RK's habitual shortcomings (the same ones I ranted about in my review for GOP), but it also brings so much cheap entertainment.

    I like it when over-the-top unbelievably ridiculous fun balances out something that is otherwise a tropey mediocrity.

    (This book is my favorite so far in this series, LOL. I'm dead serious.💀💀)

    ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*

    my thoughts:

    I never thought I was going to enjoy this book as much as I did… I knew that I wouldn’t hate it but didn’t consider that I would love it.
    I literally stayed up until 7 a.m. because I couldn’t stop reading it.

    I felt too much while reading this, cried a few times, laughed a lot. I was entertained. JerCes got my attention since GOM, I was curious about them and I’m glad that it was this good, it’s probably one of my fav Rina books and it didn’t disappoint me.

    The writing: every Rina book is going to be cringe at some point so that’s that 🤷🏻‍♀️but for some reason it wasn’t that bad in this one (for meee), and I know that some people found the pace and the plot of the book slow and hard to get into it but I really liked it.

    I’m already a psychology student, where’s my biker and obsessed boyfriend?🙂‍↕️


    characters:

    ׂׂૢ [ this whole section has a few spoilers for Cecily only‼️ so if you don’t want to read it can skip it]

    .ೃ࿐ Cecily: ꒰ lisichka🫧 ꒱
    ⭑.ᐟ “People like Cecily carry their wounds so deep that even those in their closest circle have no clue about them”


    She surprised me, I really really love her, her character was what I expected and more. She hides most part of herself from her close friends and family because she is scared that not one is going to accept her. You can actually see her character development throughout the book, how she started to get confident and comfortable in her own skin.

    Everyone in her group of friends thinks that she is prude and boring, because she doesn’t like to party and never talks about sex but what they don’t know is that she is acting that way because of a trauma.

    Honestly reading about what happened to her and how she felt after was just sad, I don’t know how but I felt for her, how she started to get in her own head but couldn’t find a way out and tried to fight her demons. It was easy to understand her and put myself in her shoes. I love her. Also every time that she zoned out on the previous books I thought that it was because she saw Jeremy or something, never crossed my mind that she was dissociating 😞

    She is the best, I mean she has THE JEREMY VOLKOV wrapped around her finger, iconic if you ask me😽 and she made him grovel for monthsss.

    : ̗̀➛“Everyone sees me as the mother figure, the problem solver, and the listener. Whenever I yearn to be listened to instead, nails dig into my chest, forbidding me from moving. From finding refuge in anyone but myself and fictional characters that don’t exist and have little chance of offering practical advice”

    : ̗̀➛ “I’ve never been good at expressing myself—I’m a listener, not a talker. At least, when it comes to things that concern me”

    .ೃ࿐ Jeremy: ꒰ mafia prince🫧 ꒱
    ⭑.ᐟ “He’s a force of nature. An impossible dilemma”


    Like father, like son. I am truly obsessed with Jeremy, I’ve been wanting to read his book since I read the deception trilogy, I think one of the reasons why I really like him is because I got to see him as a baby in his parents books and now as an a adult here.

    He is insecure and has trust issues but that didn’t stop him from loving Cecily. He is a “bad boy” and has a reputation of being scary but he’s really a good guy with the people that matter to him and we could see his caring side with Cecily. He bought Cecy her fav mangas in the special edition and made a shelve in his house, cooked for her, he even counted all her freckles and took care of her☹️

    The cutest was when he freaked out because she sent him a text with the emoji 💖 also I literally giggled at how whenever he was driving the bike he will speed because he wanted Cecily to hug him tighter🤗

    : ̗̀➛“I want to be comfortable in my skin more than anything. I want to stop my head from tormenting me with the past”

    ೃ࿐ Jeremy & Cecily:

    ᡣ𐭩 soulmates, true love, perfect for each other
    I adore their romance, they really needed each other. Jer realized how much she was struggling while no one else could and he was always there for Cecily and she healed him without even knowing. They are always going to have a special place in my ♡ I’m their defender #1
    And the sex between them?? Hot, the Russian roulette scene is still on my mind😮‍💨


    side characters:

    𐙚 Nikolai: everyone says that Remi is the funniest one in the whole series but for me Niko is the funniest and his friendship with Jeremy is one of my favs.

    𐙚 the parents: this is how their chapter is supposed to be, not like the bs that Rina did in GOP. Adrian being the best dad and honorable mention to Xander; never in my life I thought I would think nice of him, Xander was hilarious and iconic in his chapter.

    -‘๑’- some of my favorite quotes -‘๑’-

    -“I have always seen you.”

    ꨄ︎ “What I am, however, is someone who’ll slaughter your demons one by one until you’re finally free of them. I’ll touch your scars until you normalize them and can live with them, because they’re what makes you who you are” 🥹

    ꨄ︎ “She’s the gray. She’s the colors. She’s every rainbow I never thought to stop and watch”

    ꨄ︎ “He opened my heart, my world, and made me feel pretty again. He looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen”

    ꨄ︎“Usually, no one hears me screaming for help in my head, but you did.”

    ꨄ︎ -“I’m not your property, Jeremy. I’m a person.”
    -“My person”

    ꨄ︎ “My everything. She’ll be my always, and I’ll be hers. Forever.”

    ꨄ︎-“Thank you for helping me in my self-recovery journey.”
    -“You helped with mine, too.” I kiss the top of her head. “I never liked to keep anyone close because I loathed and dreaded the idea of being left behind. But I’d fall for you over and over again if I had the chance for a redo.”

    finally going to read Jeremy and Cecily’s book, I’m so intrigued by them and need to know more. Besides I’m curious why a lot of people hate Cecily🫣
    My expectations are too high, hopefully they won’t disappoint✨

    Also if the book is as good as the playlist that Rina made then I’m sure i’m going to like them!

  • Iqra

    I initially wasn’t even gna write anything as a review but I couldn’t stop thinking about them so now ur getting a disjointed mess with me just fangirling over my fav bits of the book <33

    JerCes delivered everything. Even though there was some back-and-forth drama, I still ate it up. It didn’t annoy me nearly as much as I was expecting. It did the opposite. Just showed me how much they’re made for each other. There was a depth to their relationship that isn’t there with any of her other couples except EliAva from LoG.

    Ugh, the way I wanna kidnap Jeremy, keep him in my basement and hand-feed him forevermore. He’s just so fing cute when he’s jealous and possessive 🤭🤭

    description

    That scene where he drives his motorbike faster so she has to grip him tighter 🤭💗💞💘🦋🙏✨

    It’s the way Cecy sent him in a spiral bc of the “My Prince” album I’m cryingggg

    When they’re insecure and pathetic >>>>>>

    I love that there’s no past-present/ flashbacks BS. It’s all in the present. I think there was one flashback but I’m so fucking glad it was included bc I would’ve complained if we didn’t get that lol.

    The fact that his obsession w her ran deeper after finding out she dissociates and then staying closer bc he wanted to help her out of those catatonic moments 🥹🥹🥹❤️‍🩹 and then him being glad he helped her out of them even if he didn’t get to have her in the end 😭🔫

    The way Jer gets a coronary every time Cecily mentions Landon sjdhjdhd so fking cuteeee (yes ik I’ve alr mentioned this leave me alone I just love it when he gets triggered over Cecy thinking about anyone but him 👹👹👹)

    Me every time Jer calls Cecily “lisichka”

    description

    The way Jeremy went “???!” When Cecily sent him sparkling heart emojis 😭💗💘🦋✨💞✨🙏 hes so precious

    The domestic scenes jvhghfhfh him cooking her food and then offering his plate too ☹️☹️☹️☹️ The way he becomes so soft for herrrr- 🕳️🤸🏻‍♀️

    THE RUSSIAN ROULETTE SCENE IS BRANDED ON MY EYES MY SOUL MY PSYCHE I WILL NEVER GET OVER IT 🙏🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦

    The man that Jeremy issss- his brand of aftercare 😭😭 he gave her a massage then ate her out of a catatonic state 🥹👑💋💗💕 he’s the best right?!

    I loved it when Xander had a gun to Jeremy’s head and him not flinching or giving af 👑👑 his being like get that ancient-looking thing outta my nostrils had me rolling I lost itttt 😭

    It’s ironic how Rina makes me fall in love with the side characters/ships only to disappoint but I was the most unbothered for jerces and it turned out to be my favourite so far 🥲

    Small side note but Rina’s STILL making her British characters say blimey and random British slang words that did NOT fit the context, that too in their inner monologue and I’m here like 🤡 I don’t think Rina actually knows any British ppl or did proper research. . . it was bearable bc It didn’t happen quite as often 🙏

    I’ll defend JerCes with my whole chest so anyone who has smth bad to say, talk to a wall bc ain’t no way imma hear it 🤺🤺

    ˋ✧*⁀➷ second read: jeremy still outsold every other mf in this series.
    ˋ✧*⁀➷ first read:

    Alexa play norman fucking rockwell by lana del rey-

    ...goddamn man-child, fucked me so hard I almost said "i love you"

    Jeremy. Volkov.

    Do I love him? Fuck hell no.

    "You’re mine, not anyone else’s, fucking mine. Now, beg and say my name."

    Do I want him to own me, ruin me, stomp all over me and use me as his personal fuck toy till I lose the ability to differentiate between hell and heaven? Abso-fuckin-lutely!

    This man's the literal definition of insecure and possessive. Like he is P.O.S.S.E.S.S.I.V.E.

    He ain't your boyfriend if he doesn't throttle you to the point of passing out just by the mere mention of another man's name.

    He ain't your lover if he doesn't play russian roulette with you (and gets you both almost killed) to make you confess you are his, just so that he can satisfy the hunger of his internal insecure beast.
    (chapter 20 killed me and then rebirthed my helpless soul again)

    "Your darkness calls to mine. I want to unleash that repressed part of you and toy with it, with you, like when I smeared your innocence all over my cock. I want to own you, Cecily, every part of you, what you show and what you hide beneath self-imposed shackles. I won’t stop until you’re fully, thoroughly, and undeniably mine."

    And he doesn't pull back when it comes to being a gentleman (pun intended)

    "I’m not a nice man, Cecily. I won’t pretend otherwise, or I’d be doing you and myself a disservice. What I am, however, is someone who’ll slaughter your demons one by one until you’re finally free of them. I’ll touch your scars until you normalize them and can live with them, because they’re what makes you who you are."

    Not to mention he counted all her freckles!! Yes!! All one hundred and fifty of them!!

    And his pure hatred for Landon 😌

    "I want more. I want to corrupt, tarnish, and ruin you so deeply, no one will recognize you when I’m done with you. Not even your fucking prince."

    The things this dirty mouth can do 😮‍💨

    "So this is how good girls like you get off. Does being used in the middle of the night like a worthless fuckable hole turn you on, Lisichka?"

    And when he feasts...

    "I knew you’d taste like my new favorite meal."

    I'm on my knees for Jeremy 'the overload' Volkov.

    "Come back when you’re ready to be fucked properly."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    • What I did not like?

    1. Missed opportunities and lots of sabotaged moments.

    ~Sure, when it comes to hot, brutal, rough, sexy moments this book doesn't disappoint. But when it comes to sweet, groveling, 'oh they've actually fallen in love' moments, this book goes down a rabbit hole and leaves all the crumbs uneaten.

    Loads of sweet moments, merely just mentioned and left. Them spending nights together, spooning, showering together, cooking meals, reading mangas, sharing stories, laughing, merely mentioned and left. We don't get to live those moments. We don't get to actually feel their love. Miss Kent, maybe you should have focused less on writing such unrealistic emotionless animalistic sex scenes.

    ~ Did I read anything other than pages and pages of brutal sex and repetitive "you're mine" confessions? No. 500 pages of what? Rina Kent could have spiced up some drama by actually getting Cecily to have a serious crush on Landon.

    ~ Ava remains my favourite. Cecily wasn't bad. But she still felt dull. The way these men behave as if these fmc's are their fucking property, I want a strong fmc who can bring these fuckers to their knees. Cecily thought about it, but didn't do anything (except whining ofc) like make your man your obedient little bitch and put that fucker in his place. Ava my girl does the job in every book.

    ~ The ending few chapters were cringey and rushed. Nothing new with Miss Kent. The way they are all googly lovey dovey over each other like bitch puh-lease 😪
    "He never kissed me before during sex. And now he's doing. He's in love!!!" Girl I lost count of the amount of times he kissed you, don't fucking play with me now with this cheesy ass bullshit.

    ~ Repetitive. Could've cut short.

    But for a Dark Romance, this book did everything right.

    They took their goddamned time, but we got there in the end. Hurray! 👏

    The first 50% of this was honestly kinda meh; not necessarily bad, but not all that intriguing either
    Partly, I think with this being my third book in this series, I am really starting to pick up on trends and common themes. Whilst there are some deviations, the main plot of these books are kind of copy and paste. But it's a winning concept, so I can't really blame her...
    However, the shock-factor kind of died with God of Malice and Killian, so these later ones don't seem to impress me as much.

    The second half, however, had me much more intrigued as their dynamic developed.
    Him finger-combing her hair, counting her freckles, them making food together, opening up to each other, helping each other with past hurt and trauma, showing each other love in a million small ways but at the same time being late to admitting their feelings. It was a whole vibe and I ate it up - especially when adding their teasing on top of all this.

    A mafia prince overthinking the meaning of a 💖 is worthy of a literature nobel prize as far as I am concerned. This was well worth reading just for that scene.
    Also, to not forget the chapter at her parents house, literary GOLD I am telling you.

    Might also have to backtrack and read the book on Cecily's parents even though he's blonde and people seem to hate it. I'm too intrigued by Kimberly- she seems like the sweetest person ever - and the tidbits that were mentioned of her background...😗

    I'm having such a hard time getting into my current read, and Rina Kent keeps popping up at the back of my head - especially with the hints at the end of the last book. I am so curious. 🫣
    So I am listening to my intuition and switching to this one for now.🙂‍↕️♥

    ”You’re the fire to my icy heart, and while I loathed that at the beginning, I soon came to the realization that I can’t survive without that fire. My feelings for you are nowhere near conventional. They’re neither proportional nor measurable, and that heart you melted and the emotions you provoked belong to you. I’d rather be smashed and broken to pieces with you than be whole without you. I’d rather remain a beast for you than become a man who has to survive without you.”


    hey siri, play “RUNRUNRUN” by Dutch Melrose



    hell must be frozen bc i just gave 5 stars to a dark romance.
    WHAT?
    i know right?
    never thought i could love a dark romance as much as i loved this book. i started this series with zero expectations but i did have them for this book, bc since the beginning i’ve been curious about jeremy and cecily. and they didn’t disappointed at all!!
    yes, some things such as gun in the pussy AGAIN were questionable, but what do you expect from a dark romance? and yes, jeremy has the classic dark romance mmc vibes, but he’s more than that! SHOCKER!

    cecily is a fragile girl and since something traumatizing happened in her past, she closed in herself and closed out her loved ones too. she suffered of sleeping paralysis and she sometimes zoned out from the rest of the world. she suffered a lot bc of her trauma and it broke my heart bc it’s so relatable, so real, you can easily put yourself in her shoes. i cried for her and i’m not ashamed to admit i cried for a dark romance which is a first. but i also think she’s so strong in her fragility. she’s resilient and so brave.
    she also started to explore her sexuality which is something she was ashamed of. she has a specific kink which made her feel different and weird (in her opinion). ngl, i don’t like that kink, but who am i to judge? the most important thing is that there must be consent, ALWAYS.

    ”He was also the first person who gave me courage not only to pursue my fantasy, but also to not be ashamed of it. He opened my heart, my world, and made me feel pretty again. I liked wearing some skirts, shorts, and revealing stuff when we were alone, because he looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.


    so yes, the things jer and cecy did were by mutual consent, which is something i appreciated a lot. it’s not that obvious in a dark romance.
    anyway, i’ve loved her since the very beginning and i even came to love her more. she’s thoughtful and the mom of the group. she suffered in silence but had always a kind word for everyone. she helped her loved ones every time she could, which sometimes meant to get hurt in the process. but she doesn’t mind, she loves her friends and family to death, and she has the biggest heart. i loved her character development and she has now a special place in my heart.

    jeremy is a good guy trapped in a body of a bad guy. he grew up in a toxic environment and had to deal with a lot of violence all through out his childhood and teen years. but for cecy, he fought both his and her demons. he can be sweet and thoughtful; he’d die for his family and friends, and for cecy too. he bought her special editions of mangas since they’re her fav, he cooked for her, he took care of her. he fought her battles and helped her with her trauma. he did everything to get to know her better; he listened to her when she talked about her reads and he always asked about her day. he’s over protective and territorial but let’s be honest, we love a jealous man it’s my toxic trait.

    ”Jeremy is considered the dark beauty type. He’s that one person you know is handsome, beyond attractive, but his actions paint him as more monstrous than beautiful. Destructive. Unapproachable. And he seems absolutely content with that image.”


    yeah, he also stalked her and did some questionable things but it is common knowledge that dark romance = toxic traits. i just pretended to be blind and dumb, and i suggest you to do the same!

    the romance was amazing imo! it’s not a secret that lately i’ve been struggling to enjoy romance books. this one made me fall back in love with the genre and i’m so glad. the smut was also pretty good and very very hot!!!!
    overall, this is a great book, the story is really good and it actually has a plot. the characters are interesting and they can make you feel anger, happiness, sadness; they entertain you a lot since they’re not bland, and you get to know them better by finding out details about their personalities step by step.
    i’ve never thought i could ever love a book of this genre, but here i am giving it 5 stars bc even tho there were things i don’t agree with, it still gave me the chance to feel different emotions and start to appreciate this genre a little bit more!
    so yeah, go and read this book bc everybody needs to meet jeremy fucking volkov and my sweet precious cecily knight! yes i’m definitely recommending it

    ”My mouth devours hers for all the time I couldn’t. For all the time she was out of reach because I was a rigid dick who only ever sees the world in black and white. Cecily is neither. She’s the gray. She’s the colors. She’s every rainbow I never thought to stop and watch. I kiss her because this is the only way I can show her how much different she is for me and how much her absence affected me.”

    “There’s no shame when I’m in Jeremy’s arms. He doesn’t judge me. He wants me to own that part of me.”

    I spend a full minute of intense staring at the sparkling heart but still can’t find an explanation for it. One thing’s for sure, I like it, and it caught me completely by fucking surprise since it’s the first time she’s sent one. Then I notice that she attached a picture of a box of waffles I had delivered to her apartment earlier.
    “How did you know I love waffles?”
    It’s in her stupid journal. I think they’re her comfort food whenever she wants to feel better. I thought she might need a pick-me-up after last night.

    “Who says I’m shaming you?”
    Her defensive stance turns into that of careful bemusement. “You’re… not?”
    “Why would I buy you those if I were?”
    She narrows her eyes. “Why did you buy these, anyway?”
    “So you can read them here.”

    “Pick something.”
    “I don’t have an appetite.”
    He stares at me from above the menu. “Why not?”
    “Are you seriously asking me that after you stalked me, assaulted some random guys, and kidnapped me to God knows where? Food is the last thing on my mind under the circumstances.”

    “I’m more open about what I enjoy sexually and I even get to be my nerdy self and talk about my mangas and studies without sensing that he’s getting bored. In fact, he listens attentively, as if everything I say is important, and I don’t think he realizes that, because I’m a little nervous around him, I resort to talking in order to expel that energy. I also appreciate how he never judges me about anything. Hell, he even buys me mangas, comfort clothes, and my favorite tea—while calling me a stereotypical English who loves their tea.”

    “One day, and I mean soon, I’m going to make this woman my wife. My partner. My everything. She’ll be my always, and I’ll be hers. Forever.”

    This is the best of the best of Rina Kent. Twisted, addictive, depraved and enchanting, I was RAVENOUS for this story. The intensity, the emotive complexity, and the angst had me clawing at the pages for more. Hands down one of my favorite Rina books to date and the best of the series. Of course the son of my favorite Rina hero showed and showed out- and completely stole the #1 spot in my heart. This book is everything that I live for in a Rina story....and so much more.

    If you are looking for over the top, psycho possessive, darkly swoony obsessive characters, holy moly MEET JEREMY. I AM LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH JEREMEY- I CLAIM IN NOW. I should have known, though, because Adrian is my all time favorite Rina Kent anti-hero, and Jeremy is cut from the same twistedly dreamy, manipulative, and controlling cloth that his father is. OF COURSE his son would come along and say "your favorite huh? here, hold my weapons, I'll prove you wrong." He's perfect, PERFECT. He's the dream psycho possessive caveman antihero. Like PSYCHO. But he also has so much soul and buried vulnerability, it somehow makes his over the top obsession even more magnetic and compelling- it gives it more depth, because it means a lot for Jeremy to act in this way. And that he only acts this way because his need for Cecily draws it out of him. It’s like his crazy behavior is the most toxically romantic expression of the depth of his heart. Because Rina paired all his intensity with so much genuine care- he’s got a bit of a bleeding heart. Oh, he's gonna take all the power and control, but he's also gonna woo you through it. The way he expresses his devotion- small acts of kindness, physical worship, gifts and meaningful moments- he’s literally, the swooniest pyscho ever. He's jealous of freaking AVA! Of manga characters! haha, I love him.

    While I’m in love with Jeremy, I anticipated (and hoped) he’d be exactly how I thought he’d be. It’s Cecily that’s the real revelation. She’s not at all what she appears to be- in fact what many of friends assume her to be. Girl has buried parts of herself so deep, it’s going to take a true psycho to claw it out of her. I related so intensely to the vulnerable parts of this character- how she armors herself with intellect and stoicism, in caretaking for others. How she longs for something she fears she’ll never have. Her fears, her insecurities, her desperation for connection. Her heart just wants to be tethered, and it’s caused her to make mistakes and hide herself. She’s a devastatingly beautiful heroine. And I FLOVE Cecily's heart and soul so much- she’s so kind and good at her core.

    I AM OBSESSED with both of these characters. Their character voices were so clearly conveyed, so inviting, and so meta-aware. The way Rina unfolds their psychological complexity and emotional connection in words on the page is such a powerful act of creative prowess. And it’s made possible by the fact that these are probably Rina’s two most self-aware characters she’s ever written. They are deeply in touch with themselves. loved about both of them is just how honest they are with themselves about their issues and needs, why they are the way they are. These aren't characters who aren't cognizant of their baggage or their holdbacks- it's more so them working through the mindsets holding them back. Cecily was relatable in a cheeky way here- she’d keenly aware of her dark desires (like ours as dark romance readers), she's just been hesitant to act on them. She doesn’t have the safe space to do so. And Jeremy knows he wants her, wants to be what she needs, but has holdbacks because…well, because of spoilery things. Perception is reality..or is it? For the most part, they are unapologetic about who they are. SO the growth really becomes less about self-discovery and more about self-recovery, about working through what's in their mind so they can really connect fully. I loved being in both of their heads.

    Go in with an open mind, there are complications and unusual situations and complete and utter insanity. But these characters are magic together. Soul mates. The chemistry is mesmerizing- physically, emotionally, psychologically. HOly moly. Because in the deepest parts of them, their broken pieces match in a really unexpected way. More than any couple yet, it feels like two missing links. And Rina has so brilliantly connected the first and second generations in terms of who these characters are and the weight they carry. Weight they can’t truly unburden until they find the right person to help them carry it. These two liberate each other, steady each other. On their surface, their relationship is as toxic as they come- but underneath it their connection is really intimate and tender and sincere- edgy and dark, but sweet. Because they can be themselves with each other- their FULL selves. And the steamy times! YOWZERS.

    I’d be remiss if I didn’t miss that two of my favorite heroes show up here in the best ways as daddies. I WAS NOT READY FOR DADDY ADRIAN, SOMEONE HOLD ME. These dads bring out their own psycho muscles in ways both hella entertaining and nostalgic. We have the perfect infusion of characters we already love- and the secondary cast shows up in great ways. You’ll love some characters more, dislike others more, and have your curiosity piqued more about others. All I can say is that the rest of this series is going to be a wild ride, and I’m here for every minute of it.

    The heroine: Cecily Knight - She is the geeky daughter of Xander and Kimberly Knight from Black Knight. She goes to Royal Elite University and sneaks into the scandalous Heathens initiation at Kings University using someone else’s invitation in order to gain information on the group. She is timid but friendly to everyone and she is British like most of her friends. She thinks she is good at being invisible in a crowd.

    The Hero: Jeremy Volkov - He is the heir apparent to to the Volkov Mafia family and will one day take over for his father Adrian Volkov from the Deception Trilogy. He and his friends are vicious and dangerous and are the rulers of Kings University and the he is the leader of the Heathens.

    The Story: The Heathens initiation is the hunt that was shown in the previous book, where the Heathens chase all the initiates through the forest and if they manage to make it out of the forest without being caught, they get to be members. Despite Cecily’s superpower of invisibility, one of the Heathens finds her on the hunt and she sparks his interest.

    I liked Cecily, she has anxiety and is much better at helping others than asking for help herself. She finds solace in the fictional characters of her manga comics. She has a crush on a guy who friend-zoned her long ago. She finds she has feelings and urges that stem from both her meeting in the forest with the Heathen and the fact that she found out her crush is into primal play and consensual non-consent kink.

    The book is told in multiple points of view via dual narration, though there are four narrators. The chapters in Cecily’s point of view were narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown who has a soft feminine voice which is very enjoyable. Jeremy’s chapters are narrated by Teddy Hamilton who is one of my favorite narrators, with a great masculine and emotive voice. There is also a chapter in Xander’s point of view and one in Adrian’s point of view, these are narrated by Shane East and Jason Clarke who are also terrific narrators.



    As always with Rina Kent books, the story is dark and steamy with BDSM and like the first two books, the Heroes are sociopaths or psychopaths. There are triggers for some people so beware. There is nothing I hate more that when people read authors who are known for dark romance with triggers then complain about the Anti-Hero and things that happen in the book and give super-low ratings because of it. So be warned, if you don’t like dark romance with triggers, then don’t bother reading or leaving comments.

    This one was pretty wild, I’ll have to say. There were scenes that I felt went a bit too far and I can’t imagine how she still wanted him. But even so, It held my interest throughout and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Sometimes I like books with a lot of mystery and suspense and a deep storyline outside the relationship between the two main characters and other times I like books that focus on the relationship as it builds and grows. Rina Kent books are the latter and I really enjoy them when I am in the mood for an in depth relationship book.

    “𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉. 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑪𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.”

    I was with some really high expectations for this book because, well, the hype over this couple was HUGE.

    When I first realized that jeremycecily were going to be a couple in
    God of Malice I was loosing my mind over them. The “nerdy” girl and mafia cold-as-ice guy dynamic? Please, i was already on my knees for them.

    The book overall was really good. I liked a lot the spicy scenes (these two know how to be dirty and I loved it), the “we are not a thing, but i kinda want to know you better”, the “it should've been just a one night thing” and the “why am I so fcking obsessed?¿”. But i think the book was just too long, with unnecessary parts and missing the mafia thing. Because we know that Jeremy is going to inherit his father place in Bratva, but in the book there isn't one single scene about this. Like, how Cecily will deal with this life of protection? How Jeremy and Cecily gonna handle it? Is she moving from London and staying away from her family (because they are her weakness, and if an enemy wants to destabilize Jeremy all they need to do is hurt his girl family)?

    The beginning was good, the middle was err... kinda boring¿, and the ending was great, amazing.

    I was hoping for more drama tho, more action, feelings, something that would make me go 🗣️🫡😲. All those mentions and scenes of jeremycecily in GOP made me think there was some more drama in their relationship, but well, it didn't.

    Something that I loved is the Cecily's character evolution in here. She has a lot of nuances and things that she needed to be worked and she finally did, with a little push from Jeremy. I'm this book we can see that she's deeper than we thought and that she's an amazing person. Cecily is strong and has been through a lot, and still, she gets to be the best friend to everyone.

    And Jeremy, hm... i was expecting more. More personality. He's cold and this and that, yeah, overprotective, obsessive, but still 🤷🏻‍♀️ (he gives me Creighton's personality).

    It seemed like Rina wrote this book before God of Pain, because so many things in here don't make sense and are inconsistent with the events on GOP (the previous book). The Annika's kidnaping, Creightonannika breakup, Jeremy's kidnaping...
    I mean, Creighton got shot, and everyone acted like it was nothing?¿ Like him and Annika had a normal breakup because of disagreements? Also, Nikolai almost died for Jeremy and this didn't even got mentioned??¿???¿ Jeremy got kidnapped and stabbed in the arm by Creighton, and Cecily, the woman who was in love with him, still was on Creighton's side?

    Killianglyndon remain being my favorite couple in LOG and Killian is still my favorite male character in here 🫶🏼.

    ps. killianglyndon little mentions and scenes were one of the best things of this book, I'll never get tired of my babies 🥺

    5 Lischka stars!

    I’d rather be smashed and broken to pieces with you than be whole without you. I’d rather remain a beast for you than become a man who has to survive without you.”

    I LOVE THE VOLKOVS!! LITERALLY THE BEST FAMILY ! Jeremy and Cecily didn't disappoint.

    I had loved Jeremy and Cecily's parents, and now JEREMYCECILY are my new obsession. Their book is hands down my fav of the Legacy series. The chemistry was there from day one, and it literally only became stronger as the book progresses. The intensity that only a Volkov can deliver, JEREMY IS TRULY ADRIAN'S SON AND IT MADE ME SO HAPPY. I loved the similarities between Jeremy and Adrian, but I loved that Jeremy was his own person. & Cecily, oh my she's literally one of my favs. I knew there was more to her from day one and I was so happy to finally see her POV. One of my fav female characters of Rina, I love her so much.

    *side characters moments, possible spoilers*

    Jeremy and Adrian moments were my favs, I can explain how happy they made me. & Jeremy finally coming to terms with the hard moments of his childhood and how Lia was going through some hard times. VOLKOVS SUPREMACY.

    Ava and Cecily- I loved their friendship. I don't agree with Jeremy, and I think that Ava is also a good friend to Cecily. Ava has been one of my favs and seeing her in this book, I loved her even more.

    LANDON KING. he's a literal king. I absolutely loved him and cant wait for his book with Mia.

    AVAELI- okay, he's a stalker and I'm here for it.

    the group chat with the OGS!! I will forever love them.

    4 stars

    — To be honest, I did not expect this book to be good. I've read so many reviews about it, and there were a lot of negative ones, so I was a little hesitant to try this book, especially after the scene where Creighton told Lia that Jeremy tortured Cecily for information. I was also lowkey scared to even try it because "GOM" really messed with my brain cells & I just realized now that I hated Anni and Cray's whole masochist x sadist relationship. It was a big no for me. 🙂

    — In my opinion, this book was the best among the three of them. I actually liked this one. 🤌🏻 Thank goodness Jeremy wasn't actually a psychopath and could feel his emotions, unlike the others. (I don't want to mention Creighton because with each passing day, I'm liking him less. I might change GOP ratings 🤡.) So, as I was saying, Jeremy was well aware of his anger, jealousy, and stupid mistakes.

    — There were so many scenes that were similar to "Haunting Adeline." It's like every stalker book now reminds me of it, though the stalking is not the main focus of this book. Also, there was this infamous line, "Cat got your tongue?"

    — I liked Cecily's character, and she reminded me a lot of Kimberly in some ways (though I'm glad she wasn't suicidal). Cecily is sometimes called a "pick me," but to be honest, I think it's her personal preference to talk or dress the way she wants. She has been bullied for that, called prude, etc. She had a strong character in other books, but in some scenes, I wanted to slap some sense into her (It's normal while reading RK's books). But overall, she was good. She knew when to provoke Jeremy and actually stood up for herself many times. I felt bad that she was traumatized and nearly raped. 🤧

    — I haven't read the Deception Trilogy, but I've heard that Jeremy is like Adrian in some ways, or I don't know. (I did read it now and NOPE not at all) I'm not really a fan of him (I don't think I'm a fan of any of RK's heroes), but at least I liked him. He was super rough, a caveman, and a stalker, but he did protect Cecily. He forced her in the beginning, but he did actually care for her, and some cute small scenes were adorable, like him counting freckles on her face and paying attention to her when she talks. I was glad when he let his guard down and started treating her nicely (that torture part??!! He actually treated her nicely, take that Creighton).

    — I swear Jeremy is so insecure 😂. At least he had this. He wasn't fully arrogant about his looks, thinking Cecily might fall for him, and he was actually jealous that she still might love Landon. I was furious when he pushed her away and the way he spoke to her. Cecily should have slapped him three or four times in that moment. But... ☺️

    The groveling? Please, I can't! I thought Cecily would forgive him easily or he would be unapologetic about his behavior, but please, he actually groveled for months and spent the whole summer with her family for her forgiveness! 😍😘🥰 That's new, and that was cute??? Rina Kent should write more groveling because her heroes need that badly! I love a hero who doesn't give a fuck what others think or do, BUT HE SHOULD AT LEAST FEEL BAD FOR HIS ACTIONS!

    — I really loved Ava's friendship with Cecily! She truly felt bad for calling Cecily names, etc, and supported her in front of Remi! 🫶🏻 Cecily should've confided in her earlier. I don't know why but Ava is my favorite! I can't help being excited for Eli and Ava's book, even though my gut feeling and all my conscious subconscious tell me not to get my hopes up! It's Rina! 🥹 BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT COLE'S DAUGHTER & AIDEN'S SON.

    — Umm, Landon King?!!?! 😗 Whenever he entered, I just started laughing! I don't know, something about him just makes me laugh! He's a super troublemaker, and for real, he doesn't let anyone live peacefully! He's always onto some kind of trouble, and that scene with Mia!💀 I can't wait for his book! (Rina says he's like his uncle Aiden. I swear to God, he better have a good story, and Mia better shine, or I know for 100% I'll hate it.)

    XANDER MO'FUCKIN' KNIGHT: 🤍

    I loved his scene! His inner monologue was too funny! 😭 I really missed him! He is one of the best and my favorite MMC in RES! "Black Knight" was my favorite in the whole series, and most people don't even like that! 😒😭 He was so overprotective of Cecily, and I loved how he was being rude to Jeremy again and again, calling him a lizard! 🤡 That was funny!

    ❝I’ll compromise you to hell is what I’ll do.❞ I make an ‘I’m watching you’ motion.
    ❝If I see you near my daughter’s room, I’ll bring my shotgun, loaded this time.❞
    He nods, and I start to leave but then slide back in. ❝I’m watching you, boy. Any funny business and you’re out, got it?❞
    ❝Yes, sir.❞


    that yes sir 💀💀😭

    Honestly I’m convinced that rina can’t write a bad book. I ate this up so bad. Firstly, gold star for my boy Lan who’s not even the lead in this book but still managed to create absolute chaos 🤭

    I loved Jeremy and Cecilys story so much😭 and love how absolutely psycho Jeremy is for everyone but for Cecily he’s a big softie 🥺 also I was absolutely dying when Xander got introduced to Jeremy and him trying to kill Jeremy 🤣🤣 it was too good

    My favourite quotes:

    “I know you’re hiding. Come out and I promise not to hurt you. Much.”

    That dull, maybe not so dull, existence has gotten herself the worst type of attention. Mine.

    “If you want to run, go for it. But you should know that I’ll chase you, and I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you the moment I catch you, so if that’s an option you’re willing to gamble on, by all means, go ahead and run. If not, I suggest you hop on, peacefully.”

    “The fact that you were stalking me.” “I was keeping an eye on you.” “Why?” The molten green of her eyes fires up. “Why me?” “Because you had the audacity to capture my attention.”

    “I knew you’d taste like my new favorite meal.” 🥵

    “Fuck, Cecily. You’re going to be the death of me.” “Just like you’re going to be mine.” “Tell me you love me.” “I love you, Jeremy,” I murmur. “Am I the only one you love?” “Only you.”

    “I’m fucking crazy about you, Lisichka. I love you more than words can express.”

    “This is the last courtesy I’ll offer you before I
    slice his throat open and sculpt him into the ugliest stone.”

    LMFAO NOT LANDON BEING SEXIER AND MORE LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER THAN JEREMY HIMSELF IN HIS OWN BOOK. man’s back must really be hurting from carrying the entire book fr(or should i say the entire series👀). here i thought eliava crumbs gonna be the saving grace for me but this single landonmia crumb?
    “a very angry, very beautiful blonde stares down at him with a murderous expression.
    Then she kicks him in the nuts. With her giant boot.
    Landon grunt, groans, then rolls onto his back, sporting a bloodied lip and a red jaw. However, he has the happiest, most genuine grin I’ve ever seen.
    “Hi, mouse. Miss me?”



    also i was firm on my belief that no way i’d find cecily more interesting than jeremy like pfft and warm up to her like the way i did surprisingly because jeremy acting like the personification of a fucking robot??? it elicited no emotion in me for him. like none whatsoever. however, miss ma’am cecily though🧍🏻‍♀️.

    cecily everytime jeremy graced her with his dry ass wannabe dark and edgy presence:

    “He’s thrusting inside me like a madman, and then he’s feasting on my neck, biting, sucking, licking. I can feel him stiffening before warmth floods my insides.
    And then he lifts his head, chasing crimson red off his lips with his tongue.
    My blood”

    “One who needs blood sacrifices.Because that’s what he does. He leans down, pulls on one of my breasts, and bites down on the soft flesh so hard, it burns.

    Web-Photo-Editor But you had the audacity to get on my nerves , so now I’m tempted to just… steal your last breath.”


    Plot Summary :
    Cecily has everything a girl could ever want. She has the best parents , the dream life and the best group of friends she ever wanted. Or so everyone thinks. They don't know her pain, They don’t know her trauma, and what she deals with on a regular basis. SHe is barely staying afloat when another disaster hits her life. A disaster that goes by the name of Jeremy Volkov. The mafia prince , the God. And possibly the worst boy she could ever have in her life. Because bad things happen when Jeremy Volkov notices you. Things she was never ready for.

    Jeremy has the picture perfect life but no one knows about the past he suffered. How the pain still rings through his head at night. Until one day he captures himself a little prey. The girl whom he had termed as “bland” was not that bland after all. Cecily knight. His little sister’s friend. He has never wanted anything for himself but he might just steam Cecily from her shining prince. The only difference is that he is ot stealing her to make her happy. He is going to ruin her and she is going to wish that she never crossed his way.

    Web-Photo-Editor That dull , maybe not so dull, existence has gotten herself the worst type of attention. Mine.”


    Overall Opinion :
    OMG!! Jeremy Volkov is here for you all! I read this months ago as my Beat Feedback and have been keeping these words inside of myself Lmao and IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. NOT EASY AT ALL.

    Jeremy and Cecily are possibly the hottest couple of this series. Those who have read the previous books of this series already have an idea about the direction this book is going to take on the basis of kink lmao :D but if not then let me tell you that this one has triggers if you are not into dark romance and a hero who is unapologetic when he goes after his girl. And my sweet Cecily has my heart! She is the most mature one in her group of friends and the way she handles things and how much she is like Kim , just brought tears to my heart. Not to mention the cameos of the parents are always THE BEST part of this series. I am loving this second generation series but tbh the part where I get the most crazy is when an older character appears hahahahaha . It’s just so nostalgic!!

    We also get some updates about other upcoming couples 😉 I am so excited for them all!! It's going to be epic 🔥

    Web-Photo-Editor He’s every fucked-up fantasy and more.”

    4.5 Little fox being hunted stars

    I’m alllll for primal play (and this is FULL of it), but what really warmed by heart was Xander’s chapter. I. Could. Not. Stop. Laughing 🤣 I definitely love daddy Xander more than MMC Xander… this book gets EXTRA points because of him 🤣😅💀

    1, 2… Jeremy’s coming for you (are you hearing the Freddy Krueger song? If not, try rereading it again lol).

    Cecily/Cecy’s (20) at the Heathens initiation when she spots the main Heathens wearing masks. She partakes in the chase and hides, something she does well because she’s great at observing, that is until Orange Mask finds her, and he wants to chase her 👀😈.

    3, 4… he’s gonna come for more

    Jeremy (25) knows who Cecy is- his sister Annika’s friend with her. She’s cute and he wouldn’t mind continuing to chase her👀. Does she know any of this? No; she’s too “obsessed” with Landon (😒🙄).

    5, 6… you can try to kick

    When she finds out Lan is into kinks and she can have him play with her through this “anonymous” app, she signs up for it. If only she knew that she wasn’t getting Lan, but Jeremy 😈.

    7, 8… or pretend to hate

    Jeremy’s more than willing to fulfill this fantasy of being chased, regardless of the fact that they’re considered “enemies” ish. Let the primal play begin 😈🔥.

    9, 10… you’ll start to crave it then (I’m still working on my rhyming okay 🤣🤣🤣). Did this make my review creepy??? Lol

    What I loved: possible spoilers
    —I normally put 🔥, but my gosh… I was LOOOOVING Xander’s chapter so so much!! I was swooning 🥹and laughing 😅and sympathizing… I didn’t want it to end. Daddy Xander is the type of dad we all want in our lives… and daddy husband too cause 🥵 the daddy vibes coming from him 😮‍💨 Kimberly’s a lucky lucky woman 👀. Good for you Kim 😒 I’m not jealous at all 😑😐. The way he still worships Kim after all these decades is so sweet 🥹 and the way she can seduce him with a look 😮‍💨💅

    —I guess I’ll give daddy Adrian credit too. He looooves Lia so much. Gahhh. The way he was able to use his love story with her to help his son was pretty genius 🤷🏻‍♀️. I have yet to read their trilogy, but I’ve enjoyed seeing both of them in this book and in Annika’s book (book 2). It makes me excited to read them. One of these days 😅

    —touch her and die 🤷🏻‍♀️. Oh Jeremy 😈Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy. Yaaaasss 💅

    —the OMD 😈. Jeremy thinks she still wants Lan 👀 he gets sooooo jealous

    —how JP Jeremy gets. MINEMINEMINE 💅

    ”I’m not your property, Jeremy. I’m a person.” “My person,” he nearly growls the words. “Next time you let anyone touch you, I’ll fuck you in their blood and make you come all over their corpse.”


    —the PRIMAL PLAY 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🥵🥵🥵. Good LAWD. Jeeeezus. I was NOT ready. We’ve gotten tastes in other books by Rina Kent, but she did not come to play in this book. The primal, brutal way primal play was portrayed was realistic and also… dare I say, animalistic 😈? Jeremy pulled all the stops for this 💅 which leads me to

    —no? What’s that? Doesn’t exist in Jeremy’s vocabulary 💁🏻‍♀️. Even before they agree on safe words, I could tell he’s gonna bulldoze whenever he wants to 💅 nobody’s gonna tell him what to do, or when to stop 👀

    —the normal 🔥 scenes. We get some good ones as well. They’re not all chasing ones. We didn’t see them all, but to say Jeremy has a short refractory period and insatiable hunger for Cecilia is an understatement 😅😮‍💨

    —how duuurty Jeremy’s mouth is
    “I knew you’d taste like my new favorite meal.” He darts his tongue out and licks the glistening wetness on his lips.


    —debasing the Knight house 👀. Xander. Did you really think putting Jeremy in a room far away from Cecy was going to stop him 🤣🤣🤣 hahaha. You’re so cute 🥹.

    —the side characters. I especially loved seeing couples from the previous books, enjoying their HEA. Plus, we get lots of hints for the future couples. I can’t WAIIIIT for Eli’s book. I’m not too excited for Lan’s book (🙄), but I’m side eyeing Nikolai and Brandon 👀 and I’m not a big MM reader

    —the sweet stuff. The cooking. The comforting. The talks. The protection. The cuddling ❤️. The dinners. Even the showers (that we don’t always see 😐😒). All the sweet stuff. Gah. Jeremy’s not made of stone
    ”No one will hurt you anymore, Cecily. You have my word.”


    —the retroactive justice 😈💅. Cecy was assaulted and Jeremy’s gonna make it right 💁🏻‍♀️. Past👀 Present 😈 and future. No one’s gonna hurt his girl 🥹❤️. Too bad we didn’t see it in its entirety 😐

    —Russian roulette 😱. The ANGST!!! Lord. Help my poor heart and stomach 😅😅😅. The realness that came out of this was good though. Blackmailing Jeremy is a fourth to be reckoned with 😅
    ”You’re mine, not anyone else’s, fucking mine. Now, beg and say my name.” “Please, Jeremy, please.”


    —ILIA LYING 🤣🤣🤣. Poor sick Jeremy 😅

    —the grovel. I’m glad Cecy made him grovel 😈. He messed up 🤷🏻‍♀️ bahaha! Well, she should’ve also been more forthcoming with info, but the way Jeremy brutally took her p and a made up for him 👀😬 lol. I wish we had seen it live though 😒. RK, please stop summarizing for us, SHOW US!

    —praise kink. Duh. I like to be told I’m a good girl, but this also had
    ”Don’t hide. Look at your face when I fuck you like an animal. That’s what you look like when you’re being ripped apart by my cock, Cecily. When you’re milking me and taking all of me like a good girl. You look so ecstatic and pleased, you look like fucking mine.”


    —degradation kink. I’m not the *biggest* fan, but JAYYSUS, Jeremy’s dirty mouth 🥵made me feel like a duuurty sluuuut for liking it 😬😅💦

    —the way mental health issues are addressed and

    —how protective Jeremy is
    ”I’m not a nice man, Cecily. I won’t pretend otherwise, or I’d be doing you and myself a disservice. What I am, however, is someone who’ll slaughter your demons one by one until you’re finally free of them. I’ll touch your scars until you normalize them and can live with them, because they’re what makes you who you are.”


    What I wanted more of:
    —the rushed scenes. Look. I get it. This book was already long, but to deprive me of a lot of the sweet scenes, the growth in their characters, the pivotal milestones in their relationship was just plain wrong. The first time they shower together? Their first “official” dates or outings? Cooking and staying in… I wanted to SEE it all. Sigh. Let me see the sweet stuff please, especially when it means a lot

    —along with that, let me see the grovel more. We get a time jump with a summary of how Jeremy’s been around, but I wanted to see some of the suffering lol

    —Lan. I don’t know how he’s gonna be redeemed. Not only is he a huuuuuge huuuuuuuge hooooar, but he’s getting paired up with Mia who’s a mute. He calls her mouse, cute, but all I can think about is the fact that his d is so overused that poor Mia’s gonna get it full of diseases and germs 🤢. I might skip that book 🤷🏻‍♀️. Not sure how I feel about reading his book when I saw him in THIS one with ow 😒😑😑😑😑. A woman (ME) NEVER forgets. He needs some humble pie 💁🏻‍♀️

    —I rolled my eyes a few times 😬 like Cecy saying she had “powers” or asking Jeremy to fuck her so she doesn’t die a virgin. Like. Sis. Slow your roll 🙄. I was embarrassed for you 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    Overall, I loved most of it ❤️

    This is the exact type of book that people will forget after a few days lol. All the hype behind GOW was actually making me curious about it so imagine my surprise when I realized I wasn’t feeling any connection with Jeremy and Cecily and that their story was so bland.
    The book's vibes are just the same as God of Malice and God of Pain, nothing new, nothing special and nothing unforgettable.
    The same plot. The same events. The first 50% of this book actually resumes the same scenes from the two previous books but narrated by different povs. I feel so bad for people who thought that these “chapters of the past” were good for Jeremy and Cecily because they aren’t a good thing at all since Cecily has another love interest: Landon King.
    Landon carried the book, I’m sorry but both Jeremy and Cecily are obsessed with him to death, he really is the main character of the series and this isn’t even his book. When Rina Kent said he was her favorite character in the series she wasn’t lying at all lol.
    Cecily is literally so obsessed with Landon and this is so funny because this is also the only thing she does in these chapters.
    Jeremy, my dear, you acted like a robot all the time like why are you talking like you’re reading an article from Wikipedia? This man doesn't have a single personality trait outside of stalking Cecily lol.
    Also this man deserves to be slapped, he’s so jealous of Ava and Cecily’s friendship to the point where he makes her cry? A grown ass man, be serious, and that’s how much you love your girl?

    The moments between these two were so bland, no tension and just boring. Their hot scenes were good but we say it about every book by Rina because again, same story. In this one it seemed she had no original ideas because Rina, please, stop copying every author on the planet earth. This time was H.D. Carlton’s turn with the gun scene (yes, that one) and the “little mouse” nickname for Landon and Mia. Be original?
    The amount of theories I’ve read about this book is insane and not even ONE of these is true I’m sorry but I was legit laughing so hard. Imagine spending months and months thinking about the most insane plots ever and finding out the book has zero of them. And I also used to criticize those theories but honestly now I feel like the readers will be disappointed, a lot of them were actually good so reading an empty book is very sad. At this point I’m not even having high expectations for the last three couples, I’ll just take what she gives.

    The author really said copy and paste. Every previous couple gave help to create these characters lol.
    Sebastian and Naomi from the Thorns duet also left their mark because a lot of scenes were a copy, like Cecily being obsessed with manga like Naomi and their sexual relationship being pretty much like theirs.
    I’m actually very sorry for all those people who wanted a sensational love story for them because Rina is a hater for sure, why would you make Cecily thinking it was Landon giving her pleasure instead of Jeremy? Funniest shit ever. Romanticism at its finest I guess?

    500+ pages for this story weren’t necessary at all. At least give us more crumbs for the other couples but no, it would be a crime of course.
    One good thing about those crumbs is that we finally have the mean girl of the second generation and she’s no other than miss Maya Sokolov. I’m a Maya’s girl now. Don’t touch her. She’s the legacy of Silver, Reina and Nicole. And also the only Landon and Mia interaction we get is better than everything else in this book, they did not come to play.
    After the new mafia trilogy we are finally getting their story and let’s hope it won’t be like the previous ones because at this point the series would just be a flop. None of them has yet surpassed the first generation.

    Rina Kent needs new betas. New readers who are ACTUAL fans of her work because we can’t keep recycling the same things all over again, can we? I mean this formula works because why lie, but trust me you won’t have the same number as fans you have now if you keep doing this.

    My 2 stars are a gift.

    || 2.5 stars ||

    This was very trashy and it definitely wasn’t good. That said, it also wasn’t boring, so it kept me entertained for the most part.

    Of course, the hero is about as morally dark as it can get, but that wasn’t really my problem. My problem was the awful writing and complete lack of depth or build-up within the relationship.
    If you write a hero who has supposedly never cared about another girl before, then you have to give him a reason as to why he’s suddenly obsessed with the heroine. Why does someone who usually doesn’t have feelings, suddenly overflow with them? What makes these two so compatible (aside from sharing sexual kinks)? Where are the bonding moments?? It was just very superficial, so I didn’t really care.
    Besides, he never became very soft or affectionate with her; he remained rather rough and bossy with her until the end, which I personally just don’t like. He was obviously obsessed with her, but he never treated her with respect. I prefer my morally dark heroes to treat their love interest like a princess, not like their property. And unfortunately, the heroine just accepts the bad behaviour from him since she has no backbone whatsoever.

    All in all, this was not well-written whatsoever, but I can see why it would attract certain readers. I personally don’t like smut and I read romance for the emotional connection, so this book clearly wasn’t a great fit for me since their relationship was pretty much completely based on their sexual compatibility and nothing else.

    SO

    First off, I have been anticipating this book ever since the couple was introduced and we got the crumbs from GOM & GOP. I loved Jeremy in the Deception Trilogy (Fav Rina couple) as the little boy who watched his parents’ marriage burn them and his mother lose herself to her mental illness. Also, Cecily comes from my favorite Elite couple. Both come from different worlds, different upbringings, and that in itself made this coupling really intriguing.

    I will say that GOP still remains my favorite of the three books. I feel like this book had everything it promised BUT I wanted something more. I can't pinpoint it but for one I wish we had gotten more mafia information but that is just me wishing for more insight to Adrian lol

    I think a lot of people assumed this book would have the pregnancy trope and I for one wanted it really badly but yeah that was NOT at all what this was about.

    Jeremy is the carbon copy of his dad and that will never not be a good thing.

    Theories and whether it came true or not:
    Cecily and Jeremy first had something during the initiation night? Correct
    Cecily crush on Landon? Correct
    Landon and Cecily had a thing? False, never
    Cecily has primal/dub con fantasy? Correct
    Cecily wanted Landon to be one? Correct
    Jeremy stalking her? Correct
    Cecily helped Landon spy and lead to the fire that almost killed Jeremy? Correct
    Did Cecily know Landon's plans for the fire? False
    Cecily was in Jeremy’s room when the fire happened? False
    Did Jeremy torture Cecily to get info about where Annika is? False

    Cecily (who is a virgin) signs up for the club that Landon is a part of and fills in the application to have someone fulfil the fantasy she keeps in the darkest parts of her mind. She wants to be chased and taken and when she applies for that fantasy, she includes ALL the answers to lead the player to be Landon but Jeremy my man hacked her phone after the initiation night and claims that fantasy for himself however they don't have sex, and this starts up an even bigger problem for Cecily since now he will not leave her alone until he has her and ruins her for Landon.

    ''I loathed and dreaded the idea of being left behind''

    Jeremy showed extreme signs of insecurity that I am sure he kept hidden within himself. It all stems from the fear of being abandoned by his mother when she would go into her ''ghost'' self when he was growing up until he turned 6. That created this fear within himself of being disregarded and left behind.

    The fact that the girl he is obsessing over admits to having a major crush on Landon and the fact she said his name after they had sex for the first time created a hole in Jeremy's black heart.

    ''I fell in love with a mafia prince''

    Cecily's backstory was a tough one. She had a traumatized past relationship that led to her being what Remi would say a ''prude''. She hated the notion and thoughts of sex with someone and stayed away from conversations all for a fucking good reason.

    Her high school boyfriend drugged her and attempted to r*pe her while she was still conscious but couldn't physically move. The only reason he didn't was because she vomits on him, and he leaves her and she is unable to speak up because he took photos of her in that state and was powerful enough to use them against her and her family. She felt shame allowing this to happen after Kim told her he was not good enough and gave bad vibes. She had to learn Kim wasn’t wrong in a horrible way.

    This issue causes Cecily to have sleep paralysis and phase out during conversations or everyday moments. Jeremy sees this side of her and immediately feels drawn to it because of his mother's past issues he witnessed which mirrored Cecily's struggles.

    ''He was the person whose company I found peace in after a long day''

    He brings her peace during the times she cannot find it and she brings peace to his demons as well. They each bring a balance to each other and I really liked the ying yang aspect.

    ''Cecily is neither. She's the gray. She's the colors. She's every rainbow I never thought to stop and watch''

    Jeremy just needed someone to bring him out of the black and white world he lived in and bring some gray and rainbow to him in order to truly be complete. He never wanted anyone like her and everybody before her was just to fill a sexual need, but nothing ever mattered enough for him to find someone worthy of his time and heart.

    The part where she confesses what she did for Landon and that she loves Jeremy but he can’t see past his anger and her betrayal? Honestly I got Lia and Adrian vibes when he finds out that Lia plotted to kill him to help her childhood friend. I felt absolutely shattered for Jeremy because he had to go through that loss of trust, and I felt for Cecily knowing how guilty she felt the entire time.

    After he tells her to run – basically ending their relationship she ends up being almost r*ped by a guy who was in her class and who admits has been after her since her ex bf failed the first time (they were working together) and he needed to get to Cecily since he never fails with the other girls. Before he can do anything Jeremy shows up and cuts his throat.

    Cecily being drugged and hospitalised basically let’s Jeremy have it for abandoning her when she told him she loved her and only wanted him. She uses her safe word and lets him go this time.

    Jeremy spends the next two months literally following her during the summer, going to where she is and spending time with her family and friends just to be around her. They still don’t get back together until Jeremy’s guard makes up a lie that Jer is dying provoking Cecily to admit she has wanted to be with him and got scared but she forgave him.

    I LOVED her relationship with her parents. Xander and Kim made the most adorable appearance and Xander takes the crown for immediately going after his grandfather’s shotgun when Jeremy shows up at their door. Loved getting his POV and seeing how madly in love he is with his ''green''.

    We also got another Adrian POV and can I just ask that he always show up in every book? Even its random and makes no sense.

    Also got more info about Landon and Mia and how he calls her ''Mouse'' so I guess that will be her nickname. I don't what the hell is going on with them and WHY she kicked him in the balls. We only got that one short scene with no other explanation.

    Landon pushes Cecily to get Jeremy out of the way and off the market before that scene with Mia. Before that we find out that Maya has wanted her parents to arrange a marriage with Jeremy and Mia is also made to look like she and Maya both have a thing for Jeremy? it's not explained full, but Landon makes comments about it. Jeremy wants nothing to do with either of them nor does he even care for the idea. Maya seems convinced she will marry him when in reality it’s never going to happen nor has Jer made an advance on her nor tried to make the arrangement a reality.

    My theory?
    Landon fears that Mia wants Jeremy and if he is off the market she won't anymore? lol Also he has something called ''Agalmatophilia'' which means he prefers statues or dolls and guess who is described as a gothic doll? Mia and guess who doesn't speak just like a statue or a doll? Mia.

    Ava and Eli? No interactions were shown BUT there is something seriously weird going on with them. It is mentioned that one of the guys from the club was missing after he was seen hanging around Ava and yeah even Cecily knows it was Eli.

    Niko and absolute psycho and I love it. He is possibly the stupidest/smartest and funniest guy within the group and even though I do not read MM books, this is one I need to read to find out what goes on in his head.

    I know Rina will take a break before we get Landon's book next summer, so I am hoping that MAYBE the White mask is either Kirill and Sasha's kid and/or most likely scenario that it is Mia. Cecily describes the white mask to being leaner than all of them.
