Beautiful Venom was my first Rina Kent book, so I went in with no real expectations other than knowing it was supposed to be dark and dirty. And it definitely delivered on both fronts.

It was gritty, messy, and a little twisted in the best way. The drama, the tension, and the steam were all cranked up to max, but it never felt boring. I had a great time reading it and found myself flying through the chapters just to see what chaos would happen next.

As a first dip into Rina Kent’s world, I can totally see why people get hooked on her books. I’m excited to keep going with the rest of this series and see how much darker and more addictive it gets.

dark emotional sad tense

Enjoyed the hockey/secret society storyline. This was different than Rina Kent's other books. I really liked Kane but I was wishy washy on how I felt about Dahlia. Overall a really good book and am excited to read the next books in the series.

Oh my goodness, I'm actually shocked by how much I enjoyed this book, and I'm so excited for the rest of this series, especially Preston's book!

Do I think that Rina Kent has overdone the grape fantasy in every single one of her books that I've read? Absolutely. It's getting to the point where it's almost annoying that she seems to enjoy it so much.

Dahlia and Kane were so back and forth in this book, but I was eating the drama up. I loved reading how he softened for her over time, it was super sweet.

Anyways, all I can think about is Preston and Marcus....

I was really excited for this book it sounded like it was right up my alley.
but when i got into it i realized i’d already read it before. it was like a copy paste of another book.
