4 STARS
I genuinely enjoyed Mia and Landon's story and loved that Mia was different than some of the other FMC's in this series. However, there does seem to be a similar formula for all of the couples so far in the series. Do I like this formula? Yes! Do I need to take breaks in between so I don't burn out on it, also yes!
A big fan of how Rina writes spice in all her books, and this was no exception. Also, being able to connect the previous stories through the same scenes just from different perspectives is done very well. Love it all. Some great quotes and twisty moments throughout. Overall, very enjoyable for a dark romance.

I almost gave this book 5 stars.
Landon is easily one of the best and iconic characters I’ve ever come across.
He starts off as this self-absorbed, narcissistic god with zero empathy, fully living up to his title of the “God of Ruin.” He embraces chaos like it’s his birthright, and honestly, he’s both hilarious and completely unhinged in the best way possible. His character flows perfectly from the previous books (which are a must-read), and his mayhem is as captivating as it is destructive. He thrives on creating chaos to fill the void inside, but the fact that he’s also a sculptor adds this unexpected layer of grace to his character.
And honestly, what’s more poetic than a psychopathic sculptor finding his muse—someone he wants to ruin and turn into stone, yet becomes completely obsessed with in the process?
Landon’s character development was phenomenal. He didn’t lose his psychopathic traits but learned to practice empathy, much like it’s encouraged in the real world. He matured without losing the essence of who he was. What makes him even better than Killian is that he feels more coherent and layered—like an upgraded version in many ways.
Mia was also great. She matched Landon’s chaos in her own way, making their relationship feel natural. Landon has a love for everything unconventional, and Mia is exactly that.
So why only 4 stars? If I were rating just Landon and their relationship, it’d be a solid 5. But the plot took a strange turn toward the end. It felt like a part of the story was patched in, and while it made sense on some level, it also felt out of place.
That said, I still highly recommend the book, and I’m definitely continuing the series!

You know what, I'm surprised I liked this one. In the other books I feel Landon was written different, but in this one its almost like he actually had character development unlike the other three dickhead in the previous books. Additionally, in this book, I, for one, really enjoyed Mia as a main character; to me, she seemed the most well-thought-out in terms of personality and striving throughout the book.
I have noticed through the last four books that time is a hard thing to grasp while reading, the books intertwine, meaning they are happening at the same time, but to me it's really hard to understand where in each story im up to and honestly, it's quite annoying.
