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.

    the rina kent cinematic universe is well and truly back (i am trademarking this phrase since i am the #creator).

    after the empire series ended, i needed my queen back to writing what she is best at which is bully highschool/college romance.

    it feels like only yesterday ava was just born and eli was telling his daddy how pretty she is 😭 remember when jeremy was still 5 years old and begging for lia to sleep with him in his little bed because he was scared she would leave again💔 and remember when landon my son, beat the snot out of brandon like a true sibling/champion 🥺

    MY BABIES HAVE ALL GROWN UP AND I JUST FEEL LIKE A VERY PROUD MOTHER. I HAVE NURTURED THEM JUST AS LONG AS RINA AND THEY ARE ALL VERY SPECIAL TO ME (yes even you ceciloser - thank you to my queen mari for coining that term and remi i guess...#justkidding #parentsdohavefavourites)

    🐇 as always spoilers ahead 🐇

    Main Characters
    Killian Carson ⛓️
    what can i say about our resident textbook psychopath?

    🔪 killian displayed it all from cutting up animals as a young child to fantasizing about murdering anyone that breathes near him 💅🏽
    🔪 his narcissism and god complex (as displayed by him telling glynnie to worship at his #alter)
    🔪 aggressive behaviour (fighting creigh and almost beating him to death, and his role in the hunt which was to literally beat people with a baseball bat).
    🔪 manipulating a suicidal girl by saving her life and asking her to repay him by giving him a blowjob #romance
    🔪 lack of empathy as evidenced by his inability to care for his own brother, but however it's interesting to note, he loves his mother and glynnie. this is why females are ALWAYS #superior.

    killian to glynnie on the cliff:
    description

    killian exhibited all the signs but tell me why i still didn't believe in it 🤣😭 there must be something wrong in my brain for me to actually think killian is the most softest and tamest psycho i have ever read about... don't go through my dark and dirty bookshelf you'll think i'm insane.

    anywhoosers, killian may have forced glyndon to give him a blowie but actually, after that he was pretty much obsessed with glyn instantly, and treated her like a princess?? have i been brainwashed and conditioned to find psychos attractive? sadly yes.

    but honestly killian was super sweet he:
    🖤 literally cooked meals for her to make sure glyn was eating properly even though he has never cooked before.. LIKE HE MADE A SMILEY FACE ON HER FOOD WITH VEGGIES??? my own mother never did this to me when i was a child #trauma
    🖤 quit smoking for her, but then he also told her to replace his cigarette to keep his hands and lips busy with her pussy #thatwassexytome
    🖤 liked all 500 pictures on glyns insta... this is how you stalk people, why do i get random boys who like ONE picture... only to UNLIKE it 2 seconds later??? like i saw you bitch give me back my like.
    🖤 accessed glyns medical records to find out she has an IUD. like ok sure maybe he broke some confidentiality laws/HIPPA laws as a medical student but he put her safety first!!!
    🖤 subscribed to art magazines and bought glyn expensive paints... sorry a PSYCHO is supposed to bully her and throw the paint OVER HER HEAD but NoOoOOo KILLIAN SAID 👉🏽🥺👈🏽 I bOuGhT yOu pAiNtS LiTtLe RabBiT.
    🖤 wanted to knock glyn up with his baby so she can't ever escape him 😍😍 my breeding kink went brrr

    things killian once said...

    ❝Aren’t you glad you have me and not some loser who’d run away after the first no?❞ - comedic kill

    ❝Shut the fuck up, Glyndon. You don’t want to provoke me when I’m stopping myself from going back down there and murdering my own brother and cousin for getting so close to you.❞ - jealous kill

    ❝I should’ve known better than to trust a conniving little rabbit. Maybe I’ll chain you to me now. Put a bell around your fucking neck so I can hear you leaving. Or maybe a Taser so no one touches you while I’m not there.❞ - possessive kill

    ❝Use your teeth again and I’ll switch to your ass. I’ll tear through your tight hole and use your blood as lube while your head hangs over the edge.” There’s a strain in his voice as he pushes more of his dick inside my mouth. “Now, fucking suck.❞ - this was the non-con scene and i'm just sitting here thinking about how hot hell is and how much sunscreen i'll need when i'm there since i found this hot 🧍🏽‍♀️


    Glyndon King 🎨
    as a proud member of always judge kids by their parents, miss glynnie was never my favourite, however this book pleasantly surprised me.

    glyn was really depressed from the loss of her fake ass bestie, feeling inferior in a family full of artists, has a professor who never supports her and diminishes her work, and then to top it off killian happens. i liked how she dealt with killian, she knew what he did was wrong but didn't want to report him because we all know how powerful families protect their own, and how much women heavily rely on evidence to get justice.

    but really after having finished this book i remember NOTHING else about glyndon 😭😭😭 this book is the classic case of being introduced to so many characters it overwhelms your senses to the point where you are unable to distinguish who the real main characters are.

    no offence to both killianglyn, but am i really supposed to care about glyn crying over her dead bestie and killian detailing how he cut up mice when annika is the cutest little ballerina who just wants creigh to talk to her? or how eli is so obsessed with ava if he finds out she touched someone there will be hell to pay?

    SORRY YOU GOT OVERSHADOWED IN YOUR OWN BOOK BY 20 OTHER CHARACTERS THAT HAD A LINE EACH.

    i saw devlin (glyns supposed dead bff), being alive and evil a mile away. take this aspect of their plot away and kilglyn have nothing. take the one non-con scene away, these two have nothing. they could be any random college students. the tropes/darkness was there but i didn't FEEL any of it. so hence why my rating. they were a cute couple and they had their hot moments but overall the couple heavily relied on the side characters to make their book interesting.

    me whenever glyn would cry about devlin:
    description

    Supporting Characters

    Ava Nash & Eli King
    my pink princess??? eli move over, I'VE also been obsessed with ava since she was born. ava is a mini silver, from her style to her personality (sassy, fierce and actually the biggest girl's girl), ava was the star of this book for me. i don't care if i'm setting my expectations way too high but eliava will serve everything from boy obsessed to a girl who acts as if she hates him, to secretly hooking up I NEED THEM TODAY 😭😭 and rina you better put chapters in from the past i need to see ava from birth TILL THE DAY SHE TAKES HER LAST BREATH. give me this, i deserve it after you put us through nategwen.

    description

    eli... i love my unbothered king, he only cares about his family and ava. the way he immediately called brandon over when creigh came to 'help' landon beat up killian because he was pissed lan invited creigh... the way eli's eyes always found ava FIRST no matter what room they are in... the way i know eli is the 5th heathen aka mr white mask... it's what EYE DESERVE.

    Creighton King & Annika Volkov
    my pretty purple ballerina and her stoic, emotionless boxer 😭😭😭😭

    description

    no you guys don't understand how obsessed i am with annika. she really is lia's twin. how quickly she became a part of the girl gang, how thoughtful and friendly anni is, how much she enjoys talking but also getting people involved and not making them feel like an outcast. annika is my princess and creigh is obsessed with her secretly #iknow. if he can stand remi as a friend, then anni is his fucking soulmate. time travelling to september 15 as we speak i'm on my way babies!

    Jeremy Volkov & Cecily Knight
    the fact that i even have to put their names together as a couple like this is making me GAG. on what planet do xander and adrian deserve to be in laws? is it fucking mars? because idk if you know rina we are on planet earth, and on earth these two couples SHOULD NEVER MEET.

    jeremy you are still my precious baby boy (even if it's rumoured that you threw someone to the bottom of the ocean with rocks strapped to their body) and ceciloser get a new wardrobe, 2012 tumblr called and they want their style back.

    description

    i get that she's supposed to be this uber-feminist icon but she just came across as dumb and impulsive, in a horror movie she would be the first to die.

    ❝That’s the spirit, bitch.” Ava bumps her shoulder with mine. “Fuck the boys.”
    “Very classy.” Cecily rolls her eyes. “You’re supposed to be the granddaughter of the former prime minister.❞
    - she's so judgemental please fix her personality before her book rina or i will literally lose hair like ava.

    Landon King & Mia Sokolov
    IM IN LOVE WITH MIA SHE IS SO BADASS AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH KILLIAN IS SO PURE THE WAY HE LITERALLY BEATS PEOPLE UP TO PROTECT HER 😭😭😭 mia is described as a goth barbie, who never speaks, but she doesn't need to use words when her glare alone burned landon to the ground.

    i just know he was on youtube that same night they met watching 'sign language for beginners' videos 😍 i love landon, my misunderstood, protective king. glyn really annoyed me with how much she refused to understand/empathise with her brother even though she is dating his carbon copy aka killian??? it's okay lan, mia will love you more once she stops hating you 🥰

    description

    Brandon King & Nikolai Sokolov
    100% guaranteed to be the hottest couple of LOG series mark my fucking words. NIKOLAI 👅 for someone who was never on my radar, and quite frankly i forgot his existence, he is now the hottest guy at kings U #forme.

    description - love the fact that he still can't tell which twin sister it is 🤣

    please the way he fights with his bare hands, how he looks like a viking god, his man bun, niko is a bisexual king, therefore i still have a chance brandon so don't get too comfortable.

    they will serve so hard, i just know brandon was contestant no 89 or whatever at the hunt that was sat on niko's lap and the way niko calls him his lotus sksjsksk RABBIT WHO??? and did i forget to mention that niko's DICK IS PIERCED? dear lord i am asking demanding once again for some peace in my life. first the shadowman from the annihilator and now nikolai too? it's tew much.

    Gareth Carson
    just wait till you meet ariella baby she's only 16 right now so give it a few years and she'll snatch you away, her obsession with remi is #fakenews.

    Remi Astor
    never hated a character more??? if i have to hear the word 'lordship' one more time in this series i will commit myself to a psychiatric facility. ronan was actually funny but remi is downright nauseating, someone pray for creighton we need to save him. just because you refer to yourself in the 3rd person and give yourself an obnoxious nickname it doesn't make you funny.

    you can tell his irrelevant ass was only added as comedic relief to this series, and i'm actually glad he isn't getting a book or being coupled up with cecily because that would've aggravated me more. my two least fav characters together? IT'S NIGHTMARE-INDUCING. i hope in god of pain remi loses consciousness or better yet has to have jaw surgery so he can't speak for the duration of that book.

    description

    NEED TO FILE A MISSING PERSON REPORT ON - Maya Sokolov & Ariella Nash.

    WHERE ARE MY QUEENS? they had 2 measly mentions but i ate up their crumbs nonetheless, especially my girl ariella jailbait nash. she is already iconic. she is already the moment, and if rk doesn't give her a book then i will burn the RKCU to the GROUND!!! time to spread the garethariella agenda. golden, popular boy x bad girl? i deserve this. better yet give them a trilogy. #isaidwhatisaid

    Special Cameos

    Grandaddy King
    how is this saggy balled, wrinkly ass man like almost 80 and only has two strands of white hair??? is he sacrificing virgins to stay youthful forever or something? he should be in a care home/assisted facility, being spoonfed whilst in a wheelchair. he should be connected to a ventilator in a hospital bed, with a DNR, almost on his deathbed. he should already be in the deep depths of hell for fucking his dead wife's doppelganger sister. hehe too far? WELL I SAY NOT FAR ENOUGH. anyways hopefully he dies by the time it's eli/ava's book, we need some trauma to spice things up.

    Levi & Assrat
    you know it's a sad day on planet earth when i prefer these two's pov chapters in this book over ashers... they are okay at parenting i guess but assrat the streets will never forget what you did to my queen nicole. can't believe i have to see these two AGAIN in landon and brandons book 😭😭😭😭 WHY DO THE DON'S GET 3 BOOKS BUT YOU CAN'T SPARE A TEENY WEENY LITTLE BOOK FOR ARIELLA RINA KENT???

    Asher & Reina
    this is #notmyasher.

    can we actually take a moment to understand what happened here because i feel like rk sweeped this under the rug and tied up the story in a pretty little bow because what the actual fuck? killian has spent his entire life thinking he is 'defective' the word that asher himself used, and then threatened his own son in front of his new girlfriend, telling her she can do better. i understand asher's trauma from his sister arianna, we saw exactly what she did in their book.

    but YOU asher out of all people know that your own son is different, you should've nurtured killian, gotten him help sooner, and made him feel your love and support. so what Killian has psychopathic traits? it is up to you to step up and be a father, how was it that reina was able to connect with killian and not judge him, yet you make your own son an outcast?

    i may forgive asher, only because killian did but i will never forget. one little sorry and a tear doesn't reverse 12 years of trauma. i blame this entirely on rk because she did the same to adrian in EOH, making adrian on the legal team of a known pedophile. adrian isn't a pedo supporter and asher wouldn't call his own flesh and blood defective, so for my own sanity, i choose to ignore these events ever happened.

    End Credits
    overall this was a cute start to the series, we really got a glimpse of everyone's individual personalities and the series is only going to get better and better.

    so far my fav potential couple rankings are:
    #1 EliAva
    #2 AnnikaCreigh
    #3 LandonMia
    #4 NikolaiBrandon
    #5 KillianGlyn (lmao can't believe they are my 5th choice with their book out...)
    #6 GarethAriella (all aboard their ship please - book not confirmed, with 0 crumbs but it's a need)
    #7 JeremyCecily 🧍🏽‍♀️
    *remi better not get a book or rk can catch these hands*

    ps. i forgot to mention this is my last review in a while i'm going on hiatus because exams 😭😭 if you never see me again it's because my degree killed me. see you rats soon 🖤🖤🖤

  •  ⚔Irunía⚔

    2.99 stars. A rapist? With the virginity kink?? As a love interest??? In a college romance book????
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...




    I'm so underwhelmed. So scandalized. I'm yet to see anyone complain about how toxic, patriarchal and despicable that kind of thing is. Hey... hello... is anybody here?? Are moral police on vacation??? Why are y'all so boring and call the guy who forced a blowjob on the suicidal con artist hot/bland/soft/adorable when you could be having the time of your lives gaslighting readers for romanticizing the harmful behavior right about... now?

    How weird.

    Every time RK releases a new book, I'm ecstatic, regardless of the outcome, because I always get the feeling in my gut that tells me
    And my gut feeling fails me all the time. But not when it comes to RK. 😈

    The writing

    1) Not the flashbacks from my Wattpad past. 😭😂

    The air frizzles my honey-colored hair that’s streaked with natural blonde balayage and stuffs it in my eyes.


    Not the "I look in the mirrow. The reflection of a stunningly beautiful girl with golden specks in her dark green eyes that match her long, honey-coloured hair stares right back at me" little speech. 😭

    Rina, blink once if a Wattpad author is holding you hostage.

    2) RK's dramatic flair for doom and gloom is actually leaking out of this book's every orifice, I kid you not:

    Every time I close my eyes, Devlin’s kind face comes crashing in, then he smiles as scarlet red explodes from all of his orifices.


    📘o r i f i c e📘

    noun
    given context: smut book

    examples of word usage in sentences:

    Irunia, humorously (naughty giggling bursting out of her orifi mouth): Killian was stuffing his cum into Glyndon's every available orifice.

    Rina Kent, formally, pompously (a melodramatic catch in her breath): SCARLET FUCKING RED EXPLODES FROM ALL OF HIS ORIFICES.




    — is someone's tragic death (or lack thereof) supposed to sound that funny? Asking for a friend, I'm not even complaining. Unintentional comedic relief, even taking the form of Devlin's death, is always welcome.
    I flip it back and rub my palm on the side of my shorts as I stare down.
    Down.
    Down…
    My rubbing heightens in intensity and so does the sound of the wind and the waves in my ear.


    I stare up.
    Up.
    Up.
    Up. (you see, I love me some parcellation as a stylistic device too)
    At the starless. Soulless. Sparkless. Sky. My laughing heightens in intensity and so does the poetic quality of Miss Kent's writing. 😂

    That first chapter had me howling with how edgy and dramatic it endeavoured to appear: crashing waves, bloody images rolling with the wrecking force of a hurricane, haunting scratch of metal and deadly water.

    Wow, I felt almost haunted.💀💀💀💀

    No stars were present then either, and just like tonight, the moon shone brightly, like the bleeding of pure silver on a blank canvas. The immortal rocks are unassuming witnesses of crimson blood, lost life—and an all-encompassing sense of grief.

    The immortal rocks didn't agree to the whole 'unassuming witnesses of crimson blood and lost life' ordeal, but whatever. If that's not peak poetry, I don't what is.

    Eventually, the writing style smoothens out a little bit, but here and there RK has a pompously worded phrase ready for describing someone's death, suicide attempt or inferiority complex. Maybe because she is operating under the misapprehension that otherwise readers will be unmoved by the simple beauty of tragedy itself? Who knows. Certainly not us.

    It's not the first time that I've noticed that RK makes her characters assume opulently a robe of exalted passions and exceptional emotions for the sake of drama and angst. I'd be more annoyed if it weren't so unintentionally funny. That's why, having clowned her wannabe poetry from the top to the bottom, I digress.


    Killian (H)

    Callous. Cold-blooded. Ice-cold. Lifeless. Monster. Psychopath.

    — So often have RK Glyndon and Killian tried to make themselves as well as others believe Killian is a psychopathic being never intended for normal society and doomed to misunderstanding that they have effectively convinced themselves of it. Not me though.

    I'm very sceptical of authors who tell not show feel the need to remind a reader of the same damn thing every 10 pages as if we were idiots incapable of coming to our own conclusions based on character's actions.

    The only remotely unhinged scene that Killian performed quite well was their first meeting with Glyndon, where he gave her a choice of "blow me or die 👹👺👹👺".

    “I can always use your ass and cunt. In that order. So unless you’re willing to soak my dick with your blood and lick it clean, I suggest you open your mouth.” He hits me across the lips with his dick and I have no choice but to loosen my jaw.


    That was hot, considering how Killian almost let her fall off the "deadly" cliff in the embrace of the "immortal" rocks sksksksk.

    “Please use your lips or please use your cunt and ass?” He pauses, then pushes me backward until my upper half is tilted in the cliff’s direction. “Or please turn you into a masterpiece?”


    Otherwise, Killian is such an adorable little cinnamon roll. 🥺🔪🥺 Melted my cold-blooded heart.

    “You’re drunk, I’ll take your shots.”


    Or more like a parody of a real psychopath.

    He is reminiscent of an edgy emo boy who happened to read an article "20 Signs of a Psychopath: Traits & Characteristics - Choosing Therapy" and conformed his behavior to the global standards for psychopaths: all the signs match, but that doesn't make him one.

    When Killian discards his supposedly psychopathic role, as in when he's too busy preparing meals for Glyndon, stalking her social media or subscribing to art magazines, Killian can be so fucking amusing and natural. <3

    “No. You’re not my type.”
    He pauses before stroking my stomach again. “And what’s your type?”
    “Someone nice.”
    “I can be nice.”
    “Yeah, right.”
    His voice lowers to a shiver-inducing range. “I gave you time like you asked, and it was a stretch on my part since, and I repeat, I am not a giver. So if that’s not considered nice, maybe I should retract my promise and be the opposite of nice.”
    “Don’t…” This arsehole is a major headache. I can never win against him.
    “Does that mean I’m nice?”
    “You can be,” I mutter.
    “Look at that. I’m suddenly your type.” I glare up him and I’m met with a low chuckle. “You’re so adorable, I could eat you up.”


    Comedy king. My little cutie pie. 💕

    I run back to my notifications and find he liked a lot of my pictures. I scroll down and down, and holy hell, the crazy bastard liked all five hundred pictures I posted on Instagram.
    Every single one.
    An hour ago.


    You mean to say he's not boyfriend goals? 🔪🔪🔪

    He cups my jaw then uses a finger to wipe across my bottom lip. “I love your mouth when it’s stuffed with my cock. You’re my perfect little cum hole, aren’t you?”


    Killian better have Glyndon's number stored in his phone as "My Perfect Little Cum Hole". 😌

    Glyndon (h) aka his perfect little cum hole 💕

    Surprisingly, I liked Glyndon despite her being a very formulaic heroine whose inferiority complex serves as her one and only flex in this life. Sometimes she came up with funny lines that had me chuckling.
    Killian’s expression remains blank, so she steps toward him, swaying her hips and biting the corner of her lower lip. “How about a celebratory fuck to welcome me to the Heathens? You can choke me.”
    I step backward as if I’ve been slapped. I can’t stay here anymore. My chest aches at the thought that he’s done the things he did to me to someone else.
    He choked them, too.

    I — 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
    How can anyone hate Glyndon?
    I wish my only problem in life was me realizing my boyfriend choked other girls before me meanwhile I was living under the illusion that the whole choking thing was exclusive between us. 👉🏻👈🏻 Imagine the heartbreak. 💔 Honestly, I keep reading RK for one reason only: her characters are so unintentionally funny.

    Also don't tell me RK turned her heroine into a sweet princess that secretly harbors a rape fantasy inside her little head?? How convenient. 😂 I thought we already had that crap in Naomi × Seb book???

    Not another fucking bitch in the parody of a dark romance confessing to always having fantasies about being forced to have sex. 😭😂😭😂



    Yes, I might be having a mental breakdown, live, on the air, especially if I have to read about a heroine who calls herself "deviant" for entertaining a rape fantasy and then enjoying it when the occasion comes, why you even askin'?

    Stop being a pussy and write a normal rape scene for once, they're not supposed to enjoy it sksksksks. 😭 Don't admit me to a mental asylum just yet.

    Filler dialogues


    “Do you like messing with people a lot?”
    “Not all people, no. Just a select few.”
    “So I’m a VIP now?”
    “If you want.”
    “Seriously, talking to you is like speaking to an evil robot.”
    “Evil robot, huh?”
    “Yeah, you know, the ones who get destroyed at the end of sci-fi films.”
    “You mean the ones whose red eyes flash in the last second of the movie, signaling their return?”
    “You shouldn’t be proud of being evil.”
    “That’s the thing, baby. I don’t see myself as evil.”
    “Please don’t tell me you see yourself as a hero.” She sounds even more spooked than earlier.
    “No, I don’t. I just see myself as neutral. Instead of black, white, or gray. I’m colorless.”
    “You’re an entity. You can’t be colorless.” She huffs. “You’re just black.”
    “Black?”
    “Yeah, I give people colors and you’re definitely black, like your soul, heart, and that disturbing head of yours.”


    Is that a script for a new tiktok reel? 👁️👁️

    The page count could have been cut down by 20% with no residual damage; beta and alpha readers — hey, what's up? On vacation too?

    Side characters

    Unlike everybody and their mother, I don't care about any secondary characters.

    Well, okay.

    Maybe I do?

    Landon × Mia 💕

    Secondary characters and their interactions were mostly funny and entertaining (nothing to obsess over in my humble opinion though), but maybe RK should focus more on her main characters so that others don't steal their show? Like it happens in every damn book of hers. Or is that her marketing strategy aimed at luring people in reading her larger-than-life series, sequels, prequels and what not? 😂 Good soup.

    If you wanna read a quality book about an authentic rapey sociopath with the virginity kink, go ahead and download
    UntouchableUntouchable. No shadowing here. 🌚

    Overall: pretty mediocre, even for RK.

    Since I'm such a ray of sunshine exuding cheerful energy today, lemme finish this on a positive note:

    there's always something comforting and entertaining about RK books, equivalent to visiting an old friend. A wacky old friend. 💕

    Killian and Glyndon’s meet-cute was so adorable 😩 y’all when my future husband doesn’t corner me at a cliff and forced me to decide between

    a) giving him a bj
    b) raping my ass and pussy
    c) throwing my body down the cliff and using my dead body to create a masterpiece
    then ✨ i don’t want it ✨. Killian really reinvented 'her body her choice' and we love him for it. 🤡

    In a time when men are being exposed as lying cheating scums left and right, my nonconsensual give-her-a-choice prince Killian Patrick Carson is single-handedly restoring my faith in men, cuz he would ✨ never ✨ cheat on Glyndon. His obsessed ass is too busy liking her 500 insta pictures and cooking her food. 🥺👉👈

    I’m honestly so embarrassed right now, cause I was so sure that I would hate this book and even started to write a rant review only reading 20 pages of this book, but this book got me wheezing on the floor laughing 89% of the time that I really got invested in all of the characters 😭 now I need AnnikaCreighton, NikolaiBrandon, EliAva LandonMia and even CecilyJeremy, the only character who can fuck off is this weirdo Remi who talks about his lordship which is annoying af. How does that guy look into the mirror and is not embarrassed for himself is beyond me. 🤡

    Edit: no, you didn't see me rereading this book and rounding up my rating to 4 stars for rapist Killian just because he's making smiley faces out of vegetables for Glyndon makes me smile like a lunatic. it didn't happen, my account might be hacked. 🌚

    killian carson (H)
    🖤 med student
    🖤 has a god complex
    🖤 obsessive, psychopath
    🖤 often fantasizes about murdering people

    glyndon king (h)
    ❤️ virgin
    ❤️ tortured artist
    ❤️ has an inferiority complex
    ❤️ is living MY dream right in front of me

    killian and glyn's first meeting had me on the edge of my seat (or should i say cliff iykyk). the way kill's character was automatically extremely enticing and had me sucked into the book from the very first chapter 🤌🏻

    i have absolutely zero thoughts except those revolving killian. rina really put her whole kussy into his character, it was almost baffling 😮‍💨

    his overly creepy inner thoughts about comparing glyn to corpses ✔️
    Her skin appears pale blue in the darkness, like fresh corpses. If she somehow starts bleeding and the red is added to the mix, her skin will look ethereal under the moon.


    him not giving two shits that glyn wants nothing to do with him ✔️
    “I hate you.”
    “Let me search for the fucks I have to give.” He pretends to study his surroundings. “See? None.”




    his inability to understand social media etiquette in ‘how to not look creepy af’ ✔️
    I scroll down and down, and holy hell, the crazy bastard liked all five hundred pictures I posted on Instagram.


    making sure he punctuates the fact that she’s his and no one else’s ✔️
    “This is my pussy.” Thrust. “My property.” Thrust. “Fucking mine.”


    his threatening nature ✔️
    “If one day, I choose someone else over you, will you let me go?”
    “I’d slice their throat, make you watch then claim you in their blood.”


    LITTLE. WHORE. ✔️
    LITTLE. SLUT. ✔️
    “You’re the most beautiful I’ve ever seen when you’re taking my cock like a dirty little whore.”




    “Such an innocent face for a dirty little slut.”


    the way killian had to keep repressing himself from murdering glyn 😍🥰 his self-control is unmatched

    i’m actually obsessed with the banter between killian and glyn. they had NO RIGHT being that funny, particularly killian though

    “I’ll have you know that my secondary school boyfriend had a huge dick.”
    “You said that to piss me off, didn’t you?”


    please the scene where glyn tries to act like she’s not into killian because her ‘type’ is a nice guy, but kill is just like ‘well aren’t i considered nice because i’m not trying to fuck you right now’

    “Does that mean I’m nice?”
    “You can be,” I mutter.
    “Look at that. I’m suddenly your type.”




    as far as the plot goes, it didn’t really exist and what there was, wasn’t anything too interesting to be honest. the conflict at the end could have been avoided if killian just told glyn the truth, instead of hiding it and looking even more suspect

    i also didn’t really care about the chapters in astrid, levi, and asher’s POVs (astrid and levi are glyn’s parents while asher is kill’s dad). i suppose me not really caring about their chapters had to do with me not having read their books, but if you’ve read them, you might really enjoy those chapters.

    CREIGHTON x ANNIKA & NIKOLAI x BRAN ARE GONNA BE SO GOOD, I FEEL IT IN MY BONES

    remi was so fucking annoying. why did he keep blurting out that’s he’s a ‘lordship’ and calling creigh ‘spawn’ it still stands that the only remi i can stand is remi for ratatouille 🐀

    there were a lot of things i anticipated going into this book.

    i expected something chaotic. unhinged. weird. nonsensical. crazy.

    but boring? that is a plot twist i didn’t see coming. Rina Kent, as an author, is a lot of things but boring ain’t one... until now😅 they had the same conversations over and over. the same interactions. the same weird sex exchanges. Killian literally said the same handful of words over and over:

    ⟡ “never say never”

    ⟡ “baby”

    ⟡ “blood on my cock”


    go on babes, i dare you to think of another word or phrase! please anything else.

    Killian Carson:

    description

    i will explain why in quotes, enjoy! (and the way all of these are within the first few chapter... i could have written a thesis with the amount of quotes there were)

    Her skin appears pale blue in the darkness, like fresh corpses. If she somehow starts bleeding and the red is added to the mix, her skin will look ethereal under the moon.

    Once upon a time, I was plagued by the urge to see underneath animals’ skin. Humans, too, but I only had access to animals.

    See what exactly lurks behind that thunderous pulse, the soft beauty and the translucent skin? I bet red will make her a masterpiece.

    What I didn’t realize, however, is the level of release I could have with her. It’s similar to that first time I cut open the mice and saw what was inside them. It’s the thrill of possessing someone’s life between my fingers.

    “Did you bring a lot of your victims here?”
    “So that’s what you are now, my victim? I like that.”


    creepy. weird. stinky. stale. pervy. disturbed. boring. snoozefest. tedious. flat. you’d think a psychopathic rapist would have some ✨zest✨ to him? but no.

    i know for a fact this motherfucker smells funky and has greasy bangs. and that when he was in school he ran like this

    description

    if you’re gonna give me a psychopath with an affinity for killing things, at least make him hot, mysterious, domineering, suave, witty... not this greasy weirdo who deffos lurks around the bins at school.

    the best part of this book was him getting kidnapped and beaten by my bby Landon🤗

    Glyndon “perfect little cum hole” King:

    description

    all you need to know is that her mother is my arch-nemesis and Glyndon is as fucking dull as her. i truly don’t know why Killian was obsessed with her nor why/how she got over him raping and assaulting her so quickly.

    he even says “I swear to fuck this seemingly normal, innocent, fucking boring-on-paper girl might not be boring or normal, after all.”

    no babes, dw, you got it right the first time!

    Annika:
    my beloved🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️the star of the show. the loml. my lil cutie i adore her, eurghhhh.


    description


    Creighton:

    description

    Cecily:
    idk why i picture her as Felicity Smoak but she just has that vibe and she served it well. loml 2.0


    Ava:
    my pink bubblegum princess, ily. i know her and Eli are gonna serve so fucking hard.


    Remi:
    i have finally come to the conclusion that RK can’t be British because if she was, she’d know that if Remi really went to a British school/uni, he’d get bullied so severely he’d contemplate killing himself at the end of each day. inaccurate British representation😔💔


    Bran:
    my gaydar never fails me💅🏻


    Lan:
    definitely my favourite sociopath up in here!! there were many of them too... but he took the cake🥺


    Eli:
    not mad about it👀


    Nikolai:
    id like to formally apologise to this man for comparing him to Remi😔🥲 you didn’t deserve that shit, bby.


    Jeremy and Gareth... ehhhh. don’t think we saw enough of them for me to deduce an opinion yet. Jeremy definitely intrigues me, even though him and Gareth feel very similar.

    so to sum it all up... the OG characters all fucked up in raising their kids💀 i don’t think a single one of them is mentally stable whatsoever. although the families and their drama were the highlight of the book for me, so.

    the couples i want!!


    ⟡ Annika and Creigh... i will go feral if i don’t get these two.

    ⟡ Jeremy and Cecily OR Jeremy and Landon... hear me out! rivals to lovers. the rival leaders of the Elites and the Heathens???? falling in love? yes🤲🏻

    ⟡ Remi and a castration ❤️

    ⟡ Eli and Ava

    ⟡ Landon and Mia ????? 👀👀

    ⟡ i always wanted Bran and Jay (Nicole’s brother) but im assuming it’ll be Nikolai and im really not mad about it.

    despite disliking this first book, RK really has me intrigued for the rest.

    All you bitches hating on my man Killian and I’m just sitting here thinking one less person I gotta fight off for him 💅 Not everyone can have as good of taste as me 💁‍♀️

    Ummmm WOW 🤩

    So how do I go back in time, so I can read this for the first time again because... that's all I want to do 😄

    I seriously don't even know what to say. I want to say so much, but at the same time, I want to say nothing because everyone needs to experience this book. IT'S JUST SO FLIPPING GOOD. I didn't want it to end, but I just could not stop reading.

    The relationship dynamics, the rivalries, the way they all are together, oh my god, I could not sit still. Every time another one of the kids was mentioned I got so hyped up. Each of them are so different and seeing them all interact with one another, and who they could possibly be paired up with, was so fucking amazing. And let me say yeah, my pairings after reading this have DEFINITELY changed 😄

    Honestly, I'm not going to say a single thing about what happens in this book because you just have to go in blind. I LOVE RK's work and I ALWAYS have high expectations going into her books, let me tell ya, I've been BLOWN AWAY.

    Oh and y'all the spice 😩🥵 so hot. Someone likes making necklaces 😏👐

    Just be prepared for Killian & Glyn to rock your world. They sure have fully flipped mine. Their story was a MASTERPIECE 🙌

    I'm so ready for this series to take over my life.

    I always say I'm done with RK and always come back but this time is the last, I swear.
    This was so underwhelming and boring and RK out there bragging it's her longest book 🤣 (sorry hun, long =/= good).
    From the first chapter we get the words psychopath and sociopath thrown around and you know the characters are going to be either extra self-aware or just... caricatures of what a psychopath is supposed to be.
    On that note, Killian kept threatening her he'd fuck her and until 49% he NEVER DOES. You start nicely with a forced BJ and then he never does good on his other threats? He only molests her a little
    Yepp, that should tell you it falls into the latter category and it ended up being a caricature 🤡
    some people are upset he assaulted her and here I am disappointed he didn't assault her enough

    ----------------------------
    Hot cover aside, why is the same person from Pueblo Nuevo, 02, Panama here 1 starring this with multiple accounts (the same who 1 starred Empire of Hate a thousand times)? 🤣

    Chock full of second generation alpha anti-hero goodness!

    Romance: 💚🖤💙💜❤️
    Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📔📘
    World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌍🌎
    Character development: 🙂😮😥😤🥰

    The heroine: Glyndon King - she is British and daughter to Levi and Astrid King. Glyn grew up in a family of sociopaths and artists. Her mother is a famous artist and her brothers Brandon and Landon are both artists as well, the latter being a sociopath like their Grandfather Jonathon and Uncle Aiden King. Glyn is also an artist, though she always felt like she didn’t add up. She keeps her emotions inside and after her best friend died a few weeks ago, she has been suffering in silence.

    The Anti-Hero: Killian Carson - he is American and son to Asher Carson and Reina Ellis. Killian is a true Psychopath in every way. He is a fourth year med student despite only being 19 and an amateur photographer, he likes to take pictures of very dark subject matter. Glyndon has caught his eye and once he is focused on something, he doesn’t let up.

    The Story: Glyn and Killian meet at the edge of a cliff and suffice it to say, they do not meet as friends. Killian is a gorgeous man with a penchant for cruelty and he doesn’t hold back at their first meeting. The two of them attend rival colleges which are both located on Brighton Island off the coast of England.

    “While REU (Royal Elite University) is posh, sophisticated, and reeks of old aristocratic money, The King’s U is all about new money, sharp stares, and threatening auras.”


    I have said it before and I will say it again, but I absolutely love books about psychopath’s and sociopath’s that fall in love. I love it when someone who doesn’t feel emotions in the traditional way finally falls for one special person. Rina Kent does it so well. She is the reigning queen of the dark romance and I just love her anti-hero’s.

    This book is told in multiple points of view, mainly in Glyndon’s, but there are plenty of chapters in Killian’s point of view as well. I love seeing into the mind of the anti-hero, so we can really get an idea of what they are thinking. We can see the obsession first hand. It is fun to watch as the hardened emotionless guy struggles to figure out why he is so interested in a particular female.



    There are so many interesting characters in this book. Luckily Rina put some family & relationship trees at the start of the book, which I found myself looking back on more than once as we met new characters. I loved the bonds between the sisters, brothers, cousins and friends. Especially given that there are so many sociopaths, psychopaths and mafia monsters in the mix. It certainly made things interesting and makes me what to read all the rest of this series right away.

    I won’t go into the triggers and all the bad things that Killian does, but to say that there are many. Because if you don’t like reading about this kind of guy, then you shouldn’t be reading Rina Kent books. She writes for those of us that like dark romance, bullies, and anti-hero’s and she makes no bones about it. I for one love them and I haven’t disliked a book of hers that I have read so far.

    I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

  • ❥ KAT ❥ Kitty Kats Crazy About Books

    thumbnail-IMG-0079-2-1 MY REVIEW AND OTHERS: can also be found on my blog:

    ➽ KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS

    ' 🅶🅾🅳 🅾🅵 🅼🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 ' Is the first full length book in author Rina Kent's 'Legacy of Gods' series. Spoken in multiple POV's.

    What a CrAzY ride! Twists and turns, rival college gangs, initiation like the hunger games into a secret society run by a group of psychopaths. But they have nothing on ‘Killer’ the boy who set his sights on the girl he should’ve left well enough alone.

    A threatening presence in her life, she wanted answers to a death which plagued her and she was certain he was at the bottom of it. He wanted to dominate her. These two combusted my iPad, hotter than the desert.

    “𝕴 𝖘𝖕𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝖒𝖞 𝖜𝖍𝖔𝖑𝖊 𝖑𝖎𝖋𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖒𝖞 𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖊 𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊, 𝖇𝖚𝖙 𝕴’𝖉 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖞 𝖊𝖒𝖇𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖊 𝖒𝖞 𝖉𝖊𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖘 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖞𝖔𝖚.”

    Glyndon King is an art student, a sketcher and dabbler in contemporary impressionism attending the Royal Elite University. Nineteen year old Killian Carson is a fourth year med student at their opposing university the King's U.

    Dive in deeper into the storyline and these two were perfect for each other. I don’t think the author could’ve chosen anyone better for the other. When dark and light collided it was a perfect match.

    This kept me locked in its hooks from the get go, burned the pages of my kindle as I got sucked into their psychotic orbs. Inhaled, devoured and has me anticipating the next stand alone book in this series.

    "If you want love, then I do love you, but it's the unorthodox version of love. I love you enough to let you wishing my walls. I love you enough to allow you to have a over me when I've never allowed anyone to have the power to destroy me from the inside out"

    When Rina said this was her darkest book yet, she wasn't kidding. This is dark ride but also filled with growth, steam, and ever laughter. Pls check TW!

    I won't lie at first (like the first two chapters) I was scared of Killian and I didn't know how to feel about him. I was not his biggest fan. Kill is truly a psycho, but he grew on me. Kill was different from the beginning, and at first all I label him was as evil and a psycho, but there is more to Kill. You get to read his story and you get to see there is more to him. Glyn Glyn glyn!! I was excited for her, and I'm happy she found her voice. I really liked her, she def was not what was expecting. Glyn and Kill are pure fire together. I won't lie at first I was their counter was sour, I was not really feeling it but the rest worked out well.

    *possible spoilers*
    - I wanted to know more about the relationship between Kill and Asher at the end. I'm happy they worked it out but I really want it to read it. Asher wasn't the best dad, and honestly I understand where he is coming from bc his sister was crazy. But I was upset with Asher, the way he treated Kill. I'm worried about RES as parents bc I'm scared their parenting is not the best, and I know they care for their kids and they can make mistakes but it pains me. I was in pain with the whole Kill/Asher/Rei/Gareth thing.

    -ELI & AVA- The tension, oh my I need their book. I think Ava might become my fav gal

    - The girls friendship- okay, I love them. the way they are all friends and Remi and Creigh tag along. Remi's Humor is just so good.

    -Cecily and Jeremy- something is going on here, I'm almost sure they are thing. Jeremy is not a little boy anymore and wow I'm kinda scared.

    - Annika and Creigh- The way A is after C, I need. Marriage of Convenience that Creigh will interrupt? A hinted that she'll have an arranged marriage!

    -bran and Nikolai - okay there is something there for sure and I'm almost sure they are getting a book

    - Lan & Mia - This is happening! the way that they interacted like come on, they would be explosive!

    -THE KING FAMILY HAS MY WHOLE HEART! JONATHAN AND LEVI'S INTERACTION W/ GLYN! ALSO THEIR POV. Astrid and Levi did well.

    4.5 say-you’re-mine stars

    "You can’t force me to become yours.” “Watch me.” “I’ll fight every step of the way.” “By all means. It’d make the end result sweeter.” “I hate you.” “Let me search for the fucks I have to give.” He pretends to study his surroundings. “See? None.”


    Want to read about a psycho who becomes obsessed quickly? How about one who has a low moral compass? Who doesn’t know how to feel sympathy? Well, then you came to the right spot… cause Killian is all of this… and more 😅(his name is so fitting lol).

    If you get triggered easily, then this might not be the book for you. The first scene can be tough for people (I’ll list ⚠️ down below). As for me, well, that only solidified how crazy, OTT, and psycho Killian is… and… I was glued to the pages 😬.

    “You’ll be late anyway, so how about we go back to my very logical idea of staying in bed all day?” I stare at Killian from my position in the passenger seat of his car. “Are you kidding?” He taps his finger on the steering wheel. “It’s strange how I rarely joke, but you choose to think that anyway. We need to work on your denial issues.”


    Glyndon (19) is visiting the site of where her close friend unal!ved himself. She’s having some thoughts about life herself when she’s feeling like she’s falling. Don’t worry. Killian (19) comes to save the day. Well, kind of. He’s not saving her without getting something in return, and he wants her to beg and get on her knees. But she doesn’t want to. She’s a King, and Kings don’t bow down- she has the bite to prove it 😬, but Killian is gonna make her… and he’s gonna love every second of it 😅.

    What I liked/loved: (possible spoilers)
    —umm… I wasn’t gonna say this first, but I’ll say it. The 🔥 lol. There’s a lot of them 😬😅. Once Killian takes Glyndon’s v at about 50%, it’s on 😉. I’m surprised these two came up for air 🤣. I appreciated that he *respected* her feelings here and there… until he was tired of being *respectful*

    —how, um, f0rceful Killian could be. He doesn’t like the word no 👀. If he wants something, he’s gonna take it 😬. The opening scene is n0nc0n, then we get some dubc0n ones, but for the most part, Glyndon was along for the ride 😉

    “I don’t want to be your girlfriend. In fact, I don’t want to be your anything.” “Good thing you have no say in it.”


    —how different Killian feels and is for Glyndon. Since he’s a certified psycho, he gets surprised with himself at how obsessed he becomes with her and any type of emotions he feels for her. He’s never cared for girls, never had girlfriends, never wanted to be in a relationship, and, well, no he does 💁🏻‍♀️. She might say no, but he doesn’t care 😂. They’re together whether she likes it or not 🙃

    —how duuuurty his mouth is 🥵. Are you kidding me Killian? How dare you be this good? You have no business being such a f!lthy speaking 19 year-old 💦. Good LAWD. Save my kindle. Killian has spoken and it’s gonna melt 🔥

    —how OTT and JP Killian is. I mean. This man sees his woman getting near OM and he goes ape ish. I love me some jealous OM scenes, and this one is GOOD 😈💅
    ”Looks like I created a monster. Maybe we should explore your sexuality, after all.” “Exploring my sexuality means sleeping around, hooking up. You know, the casual kinky sex you had but I didn’t get the chance to try.” My smirk disappears. “If you’re up for fucking in their blood, then sure thing. You have the green light to pick some poor souls.”


    —the soft side of Killian. Yeah, I know. Seems weird, but he has some swoony moments. Not too many lol but considering he’s not well versed in sweet or nice, I was pleasantly surprised

    —the side characters. I found myself taking notes as to who was doing what and who’s kid was whose and what family did what 🤣. I have to say, having read many of the books from the parents of the kids, I appreciated seeing their offsprings lol. I even noticed how similar certain kids were to their parents. I mean. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 💅

    —Remi and his lordship was annoying, yet also hilarious omg. Reminds me of his dad 😂. He gets his own bullet (since he won’t be getting a book 😩 neither is Gareth 🥺 and a few other characters)

    —the text messages!!! Not only between the kids, but THE LAST TEXTING THREAD WAS SOOO SOOO GOOD! Sigh. Man. I’m feeling like I need to revisit RES. I was legit GIDDY and smiling !!!

    —the parents’ POV chapters. I need to read Killian’s parents’ duet, but I still got the gist

    —the rivalry stuff that’s happening. Obviously, there’s going to be an overarching storyline as the series progresses. I’m excited 🥰

    —potential couples 👀. I found myself analyzing all the interactions between characters as they were meeting. I’m soo excited for book 2 👏🏻

    —the ow stuff 😑. Now. If you’ve read my reviews, you know how much I hate it in my books, but in this one, I like how Killian puts the ow in her place. He stops her kisses and talks shit to her 💁🏻‍♀️. Sounds good to me 💅

    What I didn’t like/wanted more of:
    —when the tension between Killian and his family happens, I wanted it to be drawn out more. I got emotional, regardless, but I still wanted more

    —more sweet Killian. He actually makes an effort, but I would’ve liked to see them as a nice couple a little bit longer (like in an extended epilogue lol). I get it. We’ll get their HEA as the series continues, but I wanted more

    —there were some grammar/spelling mistakes. If the mistakes are minor, I tend to overlook them, but there were a couple that had he rereading lines to figure out what was supposed to be there 😬

    Overall, I pretty much loved it lol. It’s been a while since I read a good Rina Kent book, and this one hit all my spots 😉

    Update:
    .
    Not, the fans of Cole and Silver come here to my review to attack me and make themselves the victims when all those who have been in this fandom long enough know perfectly well the kind of people they are and the many times they have been exposed and even some They have been expelled from Rina's groups for their toxic behaviors. Better find a real life and stop being so toxic.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Not Cole and Silver fans come here and rating this book with 1 star mounths before its release just because Ariella its not Killian love interest 🤡🤡 honestly this childish and toxic attitude on the part of Cole and Silver fans towards the Kings does not surprise me at all since they have always hated the Kings for no reason. SilverCole stan was always thie toxic and problematic part of this fandon.

    Anyway, it's not Glyndon's fault that this toxic stan became obsessed with a ship that Rina Kent herself denied in the first place. I know this book will be a bomb 🔥😍😈 Also, one of the main tropes is "boy obsessed" and Rina is the queen of writing boy obsessed stuff 🔥

  • Llakshmi

    for me, I felt like God of Malice’s main focus wasn’t even the main couple. It just felt like half the time we were getting introduced and reintroduced to our older couples.

    I actually liked it 😂

    I’m not going to lie, I think the main reason for my enjoyment had more to do with reading about everyone’s lives and who they’re kids turned out to be. Surprise surprise ! RK managed to give all the guys god complexes and made them broody and blank. How she managed to save Bran and Remi I will never know.

    Speaking of Bran. Holy fuck you guys, can I actually expect an MM romance from RK?? Am I dreaming? Is this true?? BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAIBRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI BRANxNIKOLAI
    🧡🧡🧡

    Cray cray and annika?? I bet my soul that the next book is about them and I don’t know if it’s just me but why do I keep thinking their book would be like Vaughn and Len from The Angry God?

    Oh the main couple. Right. Our psycho manipulative rapist and our virgin artist. - it was okay. I mean, I feel like they had more scenes apart than together but I liked their banter and Killian did make me smile from time to time. And I was happy by the time I finished the book so I must’ve liked it.

    “So, I have a hypothetical question.”
    “Don’t ask it.”
    “Come on. I’m curious.”
    “Shoot.”
    “If one day, I choose someone else over you, will you let me go?”
    “I’d slice their throat, make you watch then claim you in their blood.”


    I did like random moments from the book. Like when Landon and Killian teamed up to get “revenge” for Glyn.

    “Can’t this be dealt with in a different way?”
    “You mean instead of decapitating them, we cut them into pieces?” I say.
    He winces. “No, I meant calling the police like actual civilized people?”
    “Fuck the cops.”
    “This is personal,” Landon says.
    “Not sure if I should be glad or creeped out that you two are finishing each other’s sentences”



    Or when Killian and his dad made up

    And some scenes made me cringe.

    - Jonathan and Levi interrogating Killian

    “Levi,” Uncle speaks to me without breaking eye contact with Killian. “Don’t you think this chap is shameless enough to show his face in your house after he broke Glyndon’s heart?”
    “Indeed, Uncle. He could’ve stayed away and avoided us, but he apparently thought paying us a visit was the right thing to do.”
    “Who’s going to tell him that his parents might not recognize him when we’re done with him?”


    for the love of g- you guys are adults.
    - The overall writing in some scenes

    “I try to stop the brutality of his movement, but my strength is a mere straw in the face of his raw power.”

    “Never say never, baby.”

    “Killian appears at my door, his face closed, looking like a dark lord with a taste for little girls”


    Overall the book was good enough for me. I will obviously continue on with the series. PLEASE RK DO NOT MESS UP AN MM ROMANCE FOR ME

    “So sensitive, my little rabbit. I like it.”


    Plot Summary :
    Glyndon had a life most dreamed of. An amazing family. Loving parents. And a good future. That is until a single accident shattered her life. Now all she had were nightmares, a family she couldn't face and a weak will to live. She thought she had seen how bad life could get. She thought she was at rock bottom. But life had other plans. Her bleak life changed the moment she met a monster at the cliff. Looking at him she thought he would be the one to save her but one encounter later she knew that saving her was something he would never do. He was there to watch her fall. To capture her death. To break her. And ruin in all the ways she didn't even know she could be ruined. Killian was the psycho who won't let her go until he had everything she had to offer.

    Being known as a psycho was something Killian was proud of. His mind worked differently. He always liked hunting. There was just something so amazing about watching your prey suffer after that long chase. That is until he stumbled upon the best prey ever at the cliff. Glyndon might just be the prettiest prey he ever had. She was everything he wanted and everything he wanted to break as well. His little bunny liked to run and he liked to chase. She said she hated him but he knew better. If only she knew the real reasons he had for chasing her.

    Overall Opinion :
    OMG the second generation is HERE🔥
    Just one book out and I probably have a billion couples in my head already, so much steam, so much chemistry. I mean it's tough for me to choose who to ship with whom 🤣 and what about Jonathan as a grandpa??!!! OMG.

    Web-Photo-Editor Missed you, Grandpa.”
    “Is that why you haven’t returned my calls in the past… thirty-two hours?”
    “Your clinginess is showing, Jonathan.”


    Web-Photo-Editor So I send him a good morning email. Because my granddaddy doesn’t do texts. Doesn’t even honor them with a look.”


    Killian and Glyndon are the openers lmao and I absolutely loved them! Seeing my favorite bunch of characters as parents and all in their mature broody glory was like a dream come true for me. I kind of felt like a cougar for lusting after Jeremy because I loved him as a cute baby boy but ughhhh, what was I supposed to do?? I mean I will admit that it was so tough to choose after whom I should lust, father or their son? 🤣🤣🤣 Like lol, I swear I was hyperventilating throughout this book, this is like a collaboration of all your Rina Kent characters in a single book. I mean I can't even count the number of character appearances. It's just that good!!!!!

    I have read the epilogue chapters in the nightingale anthology and it was mentioned that Killian was different. He was twisted and his way of thinking worried his parents. That was when he was a kid. Now he is a young man, all in his dark, broody glory, ready to destroy poor little Glyndon. Imagine that. The triggers in this book, like I was positively drooling. Not to mention the fact that he is compared with a young Aiden all the time lmao , that should alone give you a hint of how twisted he is.

    This one is a standalone with all the steam. It's probably Rina's longest book and it's all worth it. I mean for me, any amount of words by rina are not enough, like I am always left wanting more and same was the case in this one! I want the next book so bad. I already have so many couples in my head, let's see which ones we get! Definitely recommending this one to all the high school dark romance loving people. It's full of triggers like non con, dub con, suicide talks and lot more so please keep that in mind as well.

    Also, the person one staring this book and whining about Ari and Killian to be together?! It's just so funny lmao, like how dedicated you have to be to create that many accounts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The other reviews are making me laugh so bad 😆

  • Jenn (The Book Refuge)

    I did not know how this one was going to go for me. I didn't know if I would ever try Rina Kent again. But I'm not too big to admit I was wrong and I will be continuing this series for sure.

    I like that Killian was a BORN psychopath and that the reason he was able to get away with so much is that he was good at masking and had parents that loved him. He was not a good dude but I did enjoy his antics and his obsession with Glyndon.

    Gylndon has her own mental struggles and it explains why she doesn't go to her very loving family for help when Kill turns his eyes on her. So that also made it work for me.

    All the naughtiness and sexy bad boy stuff that comes with the story were right up my alley. So this was a winner.

    5 stars
    4.5 on the spice scale

    CW: dubcon, noncon, discussions and thoughts of suicide.

    Okay but I was right, this served. ate me up from my ass all the way home. I love this book. I love these characters. I can't say enough.

    All the kids are back baby. And they might just be better (not you colesilver, never you my babies 🫶🏼) but holy heck. I don't have much to say except that.
    I LOVED these two main characters. They're brilliant. Phenomenal. So so fucking hot, I can't.
    But my favorite part had to be the introductions. The beginning of everyone's stories. I'm intrigued by so many of these characters. I want all their stories.

    Ps. If you hate Landon... uhhh, that's embarrassing bye.

    MIXED FEELINGS!!
    Pero..
    Si me gustó.

    Me encanta el mundo que creó la autora y como entrelaza sus historias, tenemos mafia, abogados, aristocraci y la alta sociedad inglesa, ahora en esta serie de la nueva generación todos esos elementos se unen.

    Tenemos como protagonistas a Killian Carson hijo de Reina y Ash y Glyndon King hija de Levi y Astrid (mi pareja favorita)
    Glyn está pasando por un proceso duro en su vida lo que la lleva a estar al borde de un barranco donde vio por última vez a su amigo a punto de caer un hombre la salva, pero tiene que pagar un precio.
    Ese hombre es Killian que es frío, manipulador, calculador con cero empatía y una fijación por el color rojo, pone los ojos en Glyn y no va a dejar que su presa se le escape.

    Me gustó mucho que la autora nunca cambió la personalidad de Killian, no lo suavizó, tenemos a un psicópata que se obsesionó, manipuló, acosó y que en el proceso se enamoró y tuvo la suerte que ella también se enamorara y lo aceptara tal cual era.

    Las escenas spicy son kinky y medio hardcore, muy acorde a la personalidad de él y los gustos ella o sea un roto para un descocido y no soy tan fan a mí me gustan más soft.

    Hubo caosa que no me gustaron como cuando ellos se conocen SPOLER ALERT la escena no consensuada.
    La personalidad de ella, si me gustó que fuera dulce, tranquila pero no que fuera tan débil, insegura o sea I MEAN.. ES UNA KING, sus mommy issues que la pobre Astrid ni culpa tenía sólo estaba en su cabeza.
    Y como trataba ella y Bran a su hermano Lan, sólo porque no es como ellos.

    En cambio ,los daddy issues de Killian estaban bien justificados, me cayó mal Ash por como lo trató pero la escena de su reconciliación con toda su familia fue muy bonita.

    Me encantó que Levi, Astrid y Asher tuvieran su capítulo,
    Amé el Chat Grupal de los Royal Elite es que son una joya y me hacen reír un montón.

    Me gustaron mucho los nuevos personajes, Remi es igual a su papá el alma de la fiesta, Landon y Eli King son iguales a Aiden, Jeremy y Nikolai como los futuros líderes la mafia rusa.
    Y las chicas también me gustaron.
    Tengo varios ships que espero se cumplan Eli y Ava es sí o sí.

    Y a esperar el nuevo libro que es grumpy/sunshine y que promete.

    Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Trope: psycho/good girl, enemies to lovers
    Angst: 😱😱😱
    Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    "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."

    What a fantastic start to this next gen series! This book starts with a bang with the explosive first meeting between Glyndon and her tormentor/love interest, Killian, as he demands payment for saving her from herself - and just keeps going. If you're looking for a morally gray bad boy that is redeemed, you're not going to find that here. He's a psychopath who's good at masking, but doesn't even put in the effort with Glyn, because she sees him. She recognizes the same clinical lack of empathy her brother has hidden from their parents. And Killian is glad. Glad he doesn't have to pretend with her, especially since he's decided he's going to keep her. Forever.

    "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."

    Just wow! Loved both MCs so much ❤️. The character development was phenomenal and they both grew so much - together. Glyn intrigues him when no one has ever caught his interest before. How good she is and how she sees beauty. She quiets his storm, while he makes her stronger. The book is really not heavy storyline-wise, there's a whole lot of introduction to the new cast of characters and kind of laying out the lay of the land for the coming books, but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Still giving it 5 stars, because Killian was the best psycho hero I've read in a long time, and Glyn was literally his perfect pairing, lol. If you're a fan of psychos, dubcon, OTT controlling heroes with more than a dash of crazy, you're going to love this one too!

    "Deep in side this man looks a cold-blooded monster that's often luring him to the edge. He says I keep him from taking the fall. Before me, he used to be an aimless monster. Now he's my monster".

    HOLY SHIT. That was f*cking amazing. Killian and Glyndon served. The dark chemistry between them, the burning tension, the remorseless love, it was everything.
    If we thought Aiden King and Cole Nash were crazy, Killian is truly insane, he’s cold, possesive and obsessive with a heart for nothing and no one other than Glyndon (and Mia who stole my heart btw).
    Glyndon is so pure and full of compassion and I love her relationship with practically everyone she’s friends with/
    I also LIVE for the bond between her and her grandfather and how special it js.

    Now onto everyone else😏
    Jeremy Volkov is HOT HOT HOT. Omg I’m obsessed and I also adore how protective he is over Annika.
    Annika Volkov is the sweetest soul ever, I love how bubbly, compassionate and open she is. I can’t wait to see what’s happening between her and Creighton because she can’t leave him alone😂
    Landon King can rail me. That’s it. He is the perfect mix of Aiden, Levi and Jonathon and I want all his crazy inside me.
    Eli King can also rail me. Aiden King’s son is the hottest man alive and I’d let him do anything to me. Also, the way he looks at Ava and how possessive he is of her😩😩
    Ava Nash is a fricking icon. She has silvers f u attitude and an iconic fashion sense and I love the way that she couldn’t give two shits about how possessive Eli is.
    Brandon King is so adorable that I just want to hug him. He’s the peace maker with a pure heart.
    Cecily gives teal Van Doren vibes and I love it.
    Remi Is Mini Ronan and I love it. He’s hilarious and iconic and Is a spitting image of his dad.
    Creighton King is definitely the most mysterious, he’s silent and deadly and has dark aura surrounding him.

  • Penny

    the MCs were so fucking bland and boring my hand is itching to give them 1 star 🥰

    just give me the Volkov kids and NikolaiBrandon 👀👀👀👀👀

  • Natasha

    Call me a freaking clown i don't care but i enjoyed the fuck out of this.

    Now can i have Jeremy and Annika's books pretty please.🥲

    "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"

    "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”


    I just know this will be my favorite series from Rina Kent, I feel it will beat the Royal Elite series for sure, at least for me. At the beginning it was hard for me to catch up with all the new characters, but the tree of them at the beginning of the book certainly helped.

    I highly recommend reading Rina Kent's previous books, including the Royal Elite series, duets and The Deception trilogy where the main characters are the parents of the characters from this series. Even though it is a lot of books, these books make this series a thousand times better to read when you know the stories of the characters' parents.

    I really like that Rina Kent has connected the two worlds of her books and because of that this series will be even more interesting than RES.

    I will not lie when all the characters were introduced I forgot a bit about our main characters and I had to remind myself that this book is about them. But it's only because I can't wait to read about all new characters, or almost all of them, because not everyone is supposed to have a book. Hopefully Rina will give characters who won't have the book in this series their own stories in another series, like Knox from RES.

    Despite the fact that this book didn't have the best plot and probably Killian and Glen won't be my favorite couple, I liked it very much and I can't wait to see them in the rest of the books

    I can't wait to read about the rest of the character and I really hope that Nikolai/Brandon and Jeremy/ Cecily will be next.

    ***3.5 rating***

    "If you give people what they want, they like you, adore you, even. All you have to do is conform to standards while slightly rising above normal, and repress your true nature. At least, in daylight. Night time, however, is a gray area."

    God of Malice...is the latest book by RK. The new series is based on the lives of the children of her characters from the many books RK has written. GOM has a very appealing cover and well once again, a book cover lured my shallow ass in. The question is was the plot as enticing as the cover? RK had indeed promised us a psychopath who is violent, with no moral compass and overall a delicious unhinged villain. Did RK deliver as promised?

    Eh not really.

    I found Killian to be sociopathic rather than a psychopath. He was very tame compared to the unhinged men I have read about in other books. RK gives some reason as to why Kill is the way he is but it wasn't really enough for me to establish Kill as a certified psychopath. His desire to be crazy and kill is suddenly stopped when he meets our boring heroine, Glyn whose only purpose is to open her legs for Killian. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about Glyn and I do not understand his obsession with her. I guess Cherry nailed it when it came to describing Glyn.

    I yawned whenever I had to read about her and her reasons as to why she could not be Killian's. The whole book is basically her denying that she is his only to turn out otherwise later on, lol. Regardless of Glyn being annoying af, I did find Killian likeable at times, and the other characters who the series is about made this read somewhat worthwhile.

    RK has hinted that perhaps one of these books will be MM? an MM teaser? with Nikolai being bisexual and all, and referring to sweet Brandon as a "lotus", a girl can hope. That is a book I would definitely read, although I am not sure when that will be. Whenever that is, sign me up.

    The book also had way too many cameos of previous characters, everyone and their mom made an appearance in GOM, I suppose RK did that so new readers have an idea of who is who, and also since this was an introduction to the rest of the series. Unfortunately, it took away the focus from the main couple.

    The "plot twist" was also kind of predictable, I guess that happens when you read too many books, especially dark romance. I was however entertained enough that I read the whole book. It was by no means a bad book, a bit boring for RK but entertaining enough that you want to know what happens with the other hinted "couples".

    Would I recommend this? eh why not.

    “You make the demons go away, even temporarily.”


    well fuck me side ways, this book fucking tested my patience and willpower. guys istg i love rina kent but goddamn it, this just fucked my brain. legit fucked it. i’m in such a bad mood over this ugh.

    listen before i start with this shit, you cannot convince me that someone actually read this book for killian and glyn bc who the fuck are they? king and queen of being overshadowed by legit every single character in this book. yes i do love that we got all the side characters in one book but jesus christ it was too much for my peewee brain.

    rina kent really should have released a prequel to this book with the intro of the kids and their friendships and whatnot so that killain and glyn at least had a romance book that made sense bc all i fucking remember is him wanting to take a pic of her falling off a cliff and then stuffing his big fat cock in her mouth. anything else? no i don’t fucking remember and I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK.

    istg i was so so so excited for the second gen bc hello???? they sounded fucking amazing. some characters i thought were fucking annoying but i think overall the series is gonna go well bc i LOVE and obsessed with some of these cuties. i decided to say a lil about each child like initial thoughts bc i know my mind will change with new books coming out but i always wanted to remember what i thought in the beginning.

    carson family

    killian- idk i didn’t get much from him in this book except that he’s emotionless but fucking emotional at the same time. but no seriously i like him a lot and i felt fucking awful that his own dad and bro were treating him like shit. tbh brownie points for him willing to murder everyone who touches mia <3 that was so fucking cute.

    gareth- i don’t like him that much, might change my mind eventually but idk im not liking how disloyal he is towards his own brother, idc who killian is, its always family first (especially in this world).


    sokolov family

    nikolai- might be controversial but he’s no where near my favs, i mean he’s funny and reckless and stupid in a good way but like idk i don’t usually like the hyperactive kids who don’t think before they do something. he’s a wildcard bc i know when his books comes out, he’ll probs have the best book LMAO and i know i’ll love him.

    mia- my heart my soul my lover girl <3 the way i know her and landon’s book will be my most fav EVER bc she’s a girl i wanna protect and he’s the boy i want to protect (even tho yes i know he doesn’t need protecting but like his siblings are always against him so i need to protect) I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE mia my baby girl i just want to get to her book already.

    maya- to be fair we didn’t get one scene so like really do i have to say anything?



    volkov family

    jeremy- i like him a lot but istg him and ces? idk about it, a whole lot of convincing needs to be done. but i do like that he called her bland hehe

    annika- please its the fact that i want my future daughter to be named annika like how can i not love her?? i just LOVE LOVE LOVE her so much my cute lil angel, she reminds me of lia so much its so fucking cute.



    king family

    glyndon- idc like mother like daughter, i can’t stand astrid and i can’t stand glyn. she could’ve died on that cliff and i wouldn’t have batted an eye. i don’t like that she treats landon like shit, i don’t like the hypocrisy this girl goes on about. she’s just fucking annoying to me.

    landon- my heart my soul, the way i have a feeling he’s gonna be my fav ugh so so cute, MY ANGEL BOY I WANNA PROTECT U SO MUCH, fuck bran and glyn they can go have incest together (im being petty istg i don’t feel like that) i want landon to have the best happily ever after bc him and mia >>>>>>>>>>

    brandon- fucking snowflake. idk i just hate bran. i cannot deal with him being SO disloyal to his own fucking twin. he better fucking grow some balls before his book bc he’ll ruin the experience for me.

    eli- my heart my soul part 500, oh my baby eli i know i’ll love you. nothing much more to say since he was there for like 2 scenes.

    creighton- my heart my soul YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!1 creigh the silent lil demon that he is has fucking WON my heart <3 is he a virgin too like his daddy was before meeting elsa??????? i fucking hope so bc >>>>>>>> the parallels hehhehehe



    knight & astor family

    cecily- um. i don’t like her so far… she just needs to fucking tone it down a bit, i hope jeremy brings out the good side of her.

    remington- no comment, i would rather this whole review be deleted than find one good thing to say about this nasty crusty lil boy. just what the fuck.


    nash family

    ava- AHHHHHHHH my heart <3 silver’s lil clone <3 i just my heart for her is so full. i just know i’m gonna be eating up all the crumbs before her book comes out <3 <3

    Oh my gosh!! This is definitely Rina’s most depraved hero to date, and I’m so freaking in love!! I’ve been waiting for something like this to come out of Rina and I’m freaking mesmerized! Buckle up your seat belts and be ready for a ride! This is one of my new favorite Rina Couples, and I didn’t see it coming.

    I have no words after finishing, the world that Rina created is pure perfection, it’s unlike any we have seen from her before. The messing of the American characters with the English ones was seamless. Even though the American characters were some of her darkest and craziest characters to date. If you thought the parents were crazy and possessive, they don’t hold a candle to their kids.

    This is the story of Killian and Glyndon. Glyndon finds herself the object of Killians entertainment early on. She is closed off, and dealing with her own internal struggles, and not quite sure where she fits in, within her world. God of malice deals with The inadequacy that we all deal with on a regular basis, was so relatable to me, I really connected with that part of the story. Rina was able to pull emotions out of me that I haven’t felt when reading in a long time, she created this realism to the story that’s very few authors create. Yes it’s fiction, and there are themes in God of Malice that may trigger some people, but the story itself and the topics it deals with are beautifully told, And make you feel not alone in your struggles.

    Killian, gosh, the depravity and darkness he exudes, was extraordinary to read about. This is the type of hero that sucks me in and I cannot look away for the life of me. You will fall in love with his heinous acts, you will see that there is more to him that meets the eye, and understand some of the reason he is the way he is. You will even want to give him a hug because of it. The fact that Rina could write a character who lacks clear set emotions but makes us feel every emotion possible for them, is extremely telling on her ability as a writer. Rina to me is one of the best writers out there, and God of Malice shows that.

    The actions of the characters had me laughing and smiling more times that I thought I would. The banter between the friend groups was one of my favorite parts. The mysteries that have been created, already leave me with so many theories on the couples and stories to come within this world. There wasn’t one character I didn’t love, every side character filled a purpose and made the story stronger.

    Let’s talk about the steam! It was pure debauchery (not just the kind you’d fine as la debauche) it was sprinkled throughout these pages, God of malice is one of the hottest books I have read to date. 10 stars for the steam!

    Overall this book is one of my top reads of the year! It is going down as one of my favorite Rina Kent books, I would give it a million stars if possible! Do yourself a favor and read this story. Go in blindly (other then the triggers) and be prepared for one of the most amazing things you will read.
