“I’d rather be smashed and broken to pieces with you than be whole without you.”

This was a series of books recommended over and over again as dark romance like the LORD series. I loved this series despite its wild shenanigans much more than the LORD series but it still has some morally black characters. So don’t go in thinking it will be sunshine and rainbows lol. This is not a pitch black book by any means but definitely read your trigger warnings. 

This story centers on Jeremy and Cecily and they are my absolute favorite couple now of the first three books. There is of course some unhinged debauchery with him being leader of the Heathens and in the mafia lol, but…….this story probably has the most consent and it addresses mental health. It was a clear case of he falls first and she explores A LOT. We continue to see other sides of all the side characters. It would be doable to read as a stand alone but knowing the characters from the previous two books adds a lot of context and family understanding. The ends of these books when the kids’ dads talk to each other cracks me up. Anyway this is my favorite so far and I didn’t think I liked him at all in the first two books ha

To be honest I was so close to give up on this serie from the first book I dnf god of malice and I wasn't sure if I should continue and THANK GOD I didn't give up on this serie because this book give me everything I was looking for and more.
Where do I start Cecily is my favorite character in this serie, always looking out for her friends, making sure they're okay, and ready to go to bat for them whenever they need her, witnessing her journey to comfort in her own skin was beautiful and JEREMY is ugghh I love him He was possessive and caring but only for his family and Cecily.
He wasn't your typical book guy who's all macho and confident. Instead, he had this realness about him – he was vulnerable, struggled with his past, and had to face it to be with Cecily. What I loved most was that it wasn't Cecily who had all the insecurities this time. It was him, and seeing him work through that was everything. He showed that guys can have their struggles too, and that's totally okay.
Also that russian roulette scene my JAW dropped so low, it could've caught flies. Seriously I half-expected someone to come by with a broom and sweep it up off the floor.

Thank you again, Rina Kent, for continuing to make me question my morals, my taste in men, and whether I should be reading these in public. I regret nothing.

I have officially sold my soul to Rina Kent’s morally gray mafia universe.

Jeremy and Cecily? Unhinged. In the best way. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but the moment we stepped foot into the sex club and the primal play kicked off, I knew I wasn’t putting this book down until it was done (and I may or may not have adjusted my thermostat because it got HOT).

What really hooked me, though, was Jeremy’s control. Compared to the other MMCs, he’s more strategic, more composed. He doesn’t default to violence—he calculates. And that level-headed, icy precision? It’s exactly what you'd actually want in someone running the mafia. I love that Rina gave us a villain who doesn’t just burn things down, but knows when and how to do it with maximum impact.

Cecily brings the fire and chaos to balance him, and watching her not only survive but rattle him? Pure serotonin. The exploration of primal kink took their connection to a whole new level—raw, instinctive, but still deeply emotional.

Was it my favorite in the series? Still no—God of Fury continues to be my Roman Empire. But Wrath is definitely in my top tier for how it blends psychological tension, slow-burning control, and unfiltered kink exploration.

TL;DR: Come for the primal play, stay for the man who knows exactly when to snap—and when to wait in the shadows. Jeremy is terrifying in the most strategic way. Cecily is fearless and feral. And together? They’re fire and ice with a body count.
