God of Malice by Rina Kent

259 reviews


10 chapters of sexual assault and stalking. I get it is a dark romance, but it's not even cnc, it's just non-con. Plus the two main characters have zero chemistry.

Mostly character driven, but the plot was still great. 

I don’t care that Killian is morally grey. I’m swooning.

11 chapters in and I just was able to get invested enough. I could not see if or how this book was going anywhere but a Stockholm syndrome type romance with a lot of trauma involved. I think we could have gotten the psychopath/over powering vibes without the mmc needing to have sexually assaulted her and I would be much more invested in the psychopath bully type romance. I was not given any redeeming characters for him past his 'impulse control', which was already proven to not be fool proof. I've enjoyed other Rink Kent books and will read others by her in the future but this was not it for me.

Premise and plot? Ludicrous. 
Writing? Atrocious, juvenile, repetitive.
Characters? Don't get me started.

Non-con remains gross. Do people really find SA and threats of sexual violence cute? I don't understand.

I can’t do it. Thought maybe I was just tired but I gave it over two hours and I don’t have any sense of the characters, no idea where the plot was going, and I just don’t care. Why is this book so hyped??
