Admittedly I didn’t love this one. I thought I’d like it more than the first book since Creighton isn’t as emotionally distant as Killian. However, that was most definitely not the case. There were times where I thought the couple were too toxic, should just break up and take the L. Also, the plot at about the 75% mark goes completely into left field and I was so done with the dramatics. All in all I did like where everything ended up. So, if you’re into books that have a modern day Wurthering Heights vibe, both in characters and sometimes settings, then I definitely recommend adding this one to your TBR.

I loved this book so much and most especially because this is a dark romance with an actual plot. It did remind me of fifty shades of grey

God of Pain was such an addictive read! From the very beginning, I was pulled into the dynamic between the characters and the way the story unfolded. I really enjoyed the intensity of the romance, the banter, and the chemistry—it kept me turning the pages quickly.

The pacing was solid for most of the book, with plenty of dramatic and emotional moments. I especially liked how the relationships between the characters felt layered, showing both vulnerability and strength. The “pain” aspect of the title definitely lived up to its name in terms of emotional push and pull.
