This is the first book in the Legacy of God's series, and I can honestly say that I am hooked! I've heard a lot of people talk about this series, but I never really paid it that much attention. I came across this book on Audible for sale and thought I'd give it a try. It did not disappoint, and I've already bought the test of this series.
Talk about crazy psychopaths in mask doing spicy things to the girl or guy their obsessed with, all while trying to solve major problems in their lives. This book kept me interested from chapter 1. All out takes is the wrong run-in from these guys to have that fine line between love and hate. They will exploit their obsessions weaknesses to gain what they truly want. To bad it throws them for a loop to by the end. This book is Killian and Glyndon's.

🎨 Rival Colleges
🖤 Secret Society
🎨 Mental Health
🖤 Obsessed/Possessive MMC
🎨 Touch Her & Die
🖤 Dub Con/Non Con

🎨 Somnophilia
🖤 Mentally Black
🎨 Vrgn FMC
🖤 Unhinged
🎨 Thoughts of Suicide
Killian suffers from antisocial tendencies, which makes him a true psychopath. This series has quite a few of them, which brought on a different kind of dark romance that I enjoyed. Some books may throw it out there that a character is like this, but this series actually talks about this mental health issue. You deal with it from their minds and their parents' minds.
Yes, this book, like every book in this series, has a few chapters told in the main characters' parents' POV. Side note, all these characters' parents have books as well. The last chapter will make their parents' books if you want to go back and read them. Which I definitely am.
Killian is part of The Heathens. Which is a club ran by Killian, his brother Gareth, cousin Nikolai, and best friend Jeremy. They all have ties to the Russian mafia. Killian and his brother are more along the lines related to Niko, who will be second in charge to the mafia one day.
These 4 go to College on Brighton Island, which is south of London. There are 2 Colleges on this islands. Kings U, which the Americans and these 4 attend, and Royal Elite U, which the British people attend. They don't usually cross paths unless they have to.
Which Killian crosses Glyndon's path one night in a very dark way. Glyn often thinks about suicide. She is depressed and thinks she is often not good enough. She comes from a family where pressure lies on her shoulders. Even though they really don't, she thinks they do. Glyndon loses her best friend to suicide and is visiting the cliff where he died. This is where she meets Killian, and her life is put in his hands.
The kinks in this series are amazing, really spicy, and kind of out there. Glyndon gets off on force and pain. Yes, she is a vrgn and doesn't really know the depth of her kink, but Killian recognizes it, and it's something he enjoys doing. He kind of takes the force part literal in his crazy mind but ultimately finds Glyndon fascinating and pursues her whether she wants him to or not.
Glyndon can recognize the psychopath in Killiam because her oldest twin brother, Landon, is just like him. I didn't like how Glyndon fears her brother, yet she had compassion towards his mental health issues and tried to say he was different than Killian because she thought Landon loved his family and Killian didn't love anything. Yet she knows love is an emotion they don't have or show. It's a learned behavior. She kept comparing Killian to Landon and saying they were different. They weren't.
Glyndon learns some things about her friends death that she didn't know about him. Things that didn't add up in her head. She quickly decides that she wants to use Killian and get info from his brother. By the time she thinks she has it all figured out, Killian is head over heels for her. What Glyndon thinks she knows and tries to use against Killian to push him away ends up being a mistake in her part. Things are not what they seem.
This whole series takes place at the same time or very close to around this time as Killian and Glyndon's do, expect book 6. Every couple has their own set of issues going on, and that's why they don't notice their friends getting involved with other members or other friends. This book can be read as a standalone, but it is book 1 in the series.

Audiobook
The audiobook version was amazing. Sebastian York narrated Killian's part, and Josie Minor did Glyndon's. This wasn't a duet, but they both did well narrating the other persons voice and accent when it came that time.
Glyndon's voice is British, so Josie has a British accent. When she read a line as Killian, she did very well doing an American accent. Visa Versa with Sebastian. He dive an amazing job when it came time doing a British accent as Glyndon's voice.
This was my first book by Josie, but I think she is in more of this series, and I can't wait to hear what else she can bring. I've listened to Sebastian York's work before in quite a few books, and he always does an amazing job.

I like this audiobook, the narration is performed in dual by Sebastian York, Josie Minor, Aaron Shedlock, Wen Ross and Kylie Stewart.
My only issue with the book is the 2nd chapter and how it is treated all along the book.
