I would rate this ♾️ stars if I could. One of my favorite reads of all time. Rina really outdid herself with Niko and Bran. I adore their story. My first experience with the MM genre. I laughed, I cried, I squealed. It has been about six months since I initially read God of Fury (on kindle.) I have not had a week pass without thinking back on it. To the point I bought the audiobook to revisit them. And I am so glad I did. Perfectly done audio.

before im attacked by the gc for a high rating on a mafia romance,,, i gave it extra points bc i ate it up AND for the ace rep, which i will ALWAYS eat up. SUE ME‼️ MY REVIEW MY RULES‼️

ok look i kinda ate this up
they were very messy! but the drama is part of the fun and tbh each time they got angry at each other i believed in the reasons lmao

the mental health stuff was very sad in this but i do think it was handled respectfully, especially for a mafia romance

“college romance” and they never really went

spoilers for the second half:
i didn’t completely love niko showing off the video of 15 year old bran being GROOMED to his family. i dont think that was necessary. they definitely would have believed bran even without seeing it

grace is DUMB AS HELL. why would you leak out evidence of you grooming someone just to prove a point 😭 dumbest mofo ive ever seen

ALSO i live for father son and son in law bonding while killing the nonce. and then not burdening bran with the knowledge they killed her for him. look, imma give respect where it is due ok. it couldve easily been a drama plot point and i was happy bran never found out. some secrets ie killing ur boyfriends abuser is all good

This is probably my favourite book of the year. It's characters are well developed and it's plot has everything you could need in a dark romance book.

Good beginning and ending, but the middle was full of vague references to things that happened in previous (m/f) books. Also, there was a lot of repetition. Kidnappings, fires, someone getting mad and ghosting others...

♡ Dark Romance
♡ Opposites Attract 
♡ Secret Relationship

A recommendation I found on TikTok and an impulse buy from Thrift Books minutes later and I have zero regrets.  This was fucking amazing!!

Oh my god, I am as obsessed with this book as Nikolai is to Brandon.  The way this book had me kicking my feet and smiling like an idiot.  This book was literally so good.  It felt like reading a fan-fiction (in a good way) and even though I’m not a fan of first person point of view in spicy books this book is the exception.  10/10.

Nikolai was genuinely so hilarious.  I absolutely love him and his total lack of shame.  I laughed out loud so many times because of this bisexual bitch.

Brandon and Nikolai really balanced each other out and the more their relationship progressed the more this really showed.  While they did go back and forth a bit it was never anything too much.  

The aesthetic and format of this book was so beautiful.  I loved the playlist that was included in the beginning as well.  Overall 1000/10 🙌

I don’t even know where to start. I feel like with every Rina Kent book I read I fall more in love with her as an author. Brandon and Nikolai’s story quickly became one of my favorites. In God of Ruin, it hinted at the possibility of a romance between the two it was very subtle. I really loved this story and how it ended. Nikolai is definitely more unhinged in this book vs previous ones. Mafia/organized crime, cat and mouse, enemies to lovers are the main tropes for this book. Definitely check your triggers before reading this.

It is a 5 stars AND behond.

I don’t know where to begin.
This is one of my favorite book EVER. And I don’t say it lightly.

I loved Nikolai since the first book of the series. I love crazy unhindged characters.
I loved Brandon as much because he is the shy sensible one. 
This book was obviously made for me.
Not only it didn’t disappoint me but it exceeded all my expectations.

You will also met Kolya.
It is my third favorite characters after Nikolai and Bran but before Jeremy. 
It made me laughed SO LOUD and SO many times that it was awesome.

This book is a masterpiece of tenderness, happiness, tension and also addresses very sensitive topics like suǐcīde, self-hårm and rãpě.

The audiobook is also a masterpiece.
It is narrated by @Teddy Hamilton and @Shane East. They’ve done an amazing work. They are perfect.

Please check the TW. It’s important for your mental health.
