One of my favourites in the series. Killian is an unapologetic psychopath and I love him for it.

This is my first Rina Kent book to have read and I plan on reading the rest of the Legacy of God's series.

For both the first book of hers I've read and the first book in the series, it wasn't too bad! Obviously there are flaws in the book that had me rethinking my choices, especially in the early chapters (iykyk) but overall I thought that the plot would be more dark - it's more centered around the trope of a dark romance than the whole book being a dark themed -  so I was a little disappointed that the book didn't take it a little further.

Unfortunately I just couldn't get myself to like the FL Glyndon King, I think maybe I've read too many romances or the character was just generic, I can't make up my mind on which one it is - she's just too predictable with her character to literally nearly everything she says in every chapter, I mean even the love interest Killian calls her a broken record multiple times. 

Not sure if I'll come back to this novel soon, but I'm hoping the second book in the series will be a little better!

"Not all girls like the hero. I was fated to fall in love with the villain." 💕

Dark, Insta love and zero consent... But still weirdly an enjoyable read. 🌶️ was 🥵 but definitely a bit uncomfortable at points and I don't know if it was just because I was listening to it but it was getting to be a bit cringe the amount of times "tight little c**t" was used in an awkward uncomfortable way and I'm Scottish... We use that word all the time! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm not sure where the line needs to be drawn between what is rape and what is dark romance and I know it's fictional, but I definitely feel like this could be really triggering for some folks.

Overall tho a decent read, 3/5 for me and I'm now onto the next one... 🖤

This book had no business being near 500 pages. The end could've been so much better. The conflict could've been so much better. It was so .... Bland for being a dark romance. The smut was nice, but thats all it was.
