This was my first dark romance. I usually read fantasy and dark fantasy.

I really liked this book. It had so much of what I was looking for like an unhinged, burn the world down, obsessed mmc. Killian is everything I look for in an mmc. I was here for it.

Part of me missed the fantasy elements that I am used to. Although the books was fast paced, sexy, and mysterious I find myself drawn more to fantasy dark romance where something else is also driving the plot.

The relationship was done very well, but the end of the book felt rushed for the relationship. However I understand this is a standalone and everything needs to be wrapped up in one book.

Three things that knocked down my rating

the FMC keeps saying she wont give herself to the mmc completly and then just does near the end. Yes stuff happened to move this along but it did not feel like their was enough internal monologue to understand her change in behavior. The mystery and person not being dead felt so rushed and we don’t even get a scene of Lan and Killian taking revenge for Glyndon. It felt like the book needed like 50 more pages to wrap both the love story and the revenge plot up. Finally why the Devlin guy faked his own death was only briefly explained and did not really make sense. The reasons he gave could have been accomplished by him not faking his own death. Again just a few more pages could have helped.

Anyway, despite some criticisms, I really enjoyed it. And although I prefer fantasy dark romance I will continue with the next standalone.

Overall: 4.25/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Spice: 4/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Glyndon has been a shy, keep to herself, never throw commotion to the ocean type girl for awhile now. Recently having gone through some trauma and going back to college she finds herself wrapped up in trouble… though she might find herself being surprised but how much she really liked trouble all along.
Killian doesn’t value much, besides seeing someone’s insides on the outside. But once he laid eyes on her he wasn’t going to let her go no matter the cost.

I REALLY enjoyed this book, I felt like the characters were thoroughly enjoyable even when I was looking at Glyndon like “bitch wtf are you doing” and screaming at Killian like no other. And don’t forget the eye rolling. I think my eyes are strained honestly. They really came to life from the pages and I enjoyed them. The plot was also good THE TWISTS AND TURNS. I was shook. I was like oh okay I know what’s gonna happen and then literally was SHOCKED LIKE WHAT!? As this being my first book by Rina I was impressed and excited to read God of Pain

The only thing that kinda kept this from being higher rating was that some parts felt rushed and other parts felt like the went on for an unnecessary amount of time. alone with that I felt some of the writing could’ve a bit more work — really just related to the rushing feeling — but besides that I really loved this book!

⭐️ 3.75/5
🌶️ 2.5/5 — could’ve used more cause I’m greedy and need to see them FRACKIN
