The first half felt like a stretch to make these men hockey players (this made more sense to me at 75%). I also felt like Kane’s personality in public and with Dahlia did not match with the relationship. Like he was possessive but detached?
Almost as if Kane was at war with himself for even thinking about her?
I was convinced that I would give this story 3 starts, right up until the last thirty minutes. I enjoyed the plot lines, and the secret society vibes. I love a good secret society, done right. This was like that in the beginning, yet the society ended up falling off as a past tense thing the longer I went through the story.
I liked the MMC’s, and I wanted the possessive MMC to need the FMC. I felt like the FMC did not deliver her role well. I did not want her to force his hand into needing her.
The “safe word” scene felt very “fifty shades”. It felt like the FMC was manipulative of that scene to her own emotional needs.
At around 60% I felt like the characters began to shift, and I was HERE FOR IT.
The MMC became more of what I had hoped he would be through out the entire story.
At 75% I began to wonder what else could possibly happen.
You go through thre@ts, kind!pp1ng, d@t3r4p3, and bl4ckm@il. Yet, there was still more coming.
Overall a good read.
For my first Rina Kent

A voz do Kane Davenport é incrível! Esse timbre e tom de voz grave deixa qualquer uma de joelhos sem esforço. Ele é tão bem articulado que eu cheguei a pensar que a voz dos outros meninos era outra pessoa. Tiro meu chapéu pra ele.
A voz da Dahlia entregou, achei bem condescendente pra personagem e combinou total com a personalidade.

Eu entrei de cabeça nesse livro com altas expectativas. No início, eu achei tudo muito parado e tudo mais. Do meio pro final a coisa foi esquentando e me vi totalmente vidrada e presa na trama e no suspense. O epílogo me decpicionou, estava esperando bem mais respostas.
Rina Kent conseguiu trazer muito do mesmo com aquele toque especial que só ela tem, mas com varias reviravoltas, suspense e tensão que me deixaram louca. Nenhum livro de suspense/thriller me deixou nesse estado como eu fiquei nesse. Oque eu chorei não tá marcado.
Kane Davenport é um personagem com camadas. Tudo oque sofreu pra se tornar o homem que é hoje com um altíssimo preço. Eu admito que no início não achava ele tudo isso, mas ele conseguiu se provar bem. Dahlia Thorne deu o nome dela, mas senti que era uma personagem igual ao Gareth Carson, fazia altos planos e sempre dava errado quebrando a cara no final.
Os outros personagens foram incríveis! To louca pra saber mais sobre o Jude Callahan e o Prestron Armstrong (o último nem tanto).
Queria que o livro tivesse explicasse melhor as coisas. Como o fato de que agora o Kane tá na liderança, a volta do tio, Kayden, pra organização e claro, mais migalhas da Violet com o Jude e Preston e Marcus.
Em geral, foi um livro muito bom, Rina Kent se superando sempre.

The day Rina Kent writes a book without a ra*ist main character and misogyny is the day we will see dinosaurs again.

My. God. What a way to start off a new chapter of the Rinaverse. To say I’m obsessed is an understatement. I was so interested in Kane and his dad and this side after learning a little from ‘Kiss the Villian’ and my god. It’s so much more intense than I thought. I did love that we got some Kade and Gareth moments cause, well I love them. Kane and Dahlia were just everything. My god, Dahlia. I think she has become a favorite FMC. She is such a badass queen and I’m here for it. I love how she’s loves. She didn’t care what it took, she was going to find out what happened even if it killed her. She also loves so fiercely when it came to Kane that I just 🥺. Then sweet baby Kane. Watching this man with no emotions put his walls down and finally just letting go and have feeling for Dalia was just everything. I’m so obsessed with these vipers it’s not even funny. I can’t wait for the next 2 books and get a more deep dive into this new world.

I've finally finished Beautiful Venom and what a roller coaster it was.
I loved Dhalia's character. She was fiesty and protective over the people she lived. She didn't think twice when she had to do something in order to get her revenge.
Kane was a bit more complex. I wasn't agree with what he did sometimes, but I got his point of view. I loved his possessiveness and protectiveness over Dhalia. What can I say a am a sucker for a possessive man 😂.
Their chemistry and similarities were something new and refreshing. She was nearly as dark as he is.
I loved the side characters as well and especially Jude. I can't wait to read his book.
