“I feel her everywhere, in my bloodstream, on my flesh, and down to that forbidden nook in my heart.”

This was a series of books recommended over and over again as dark romance like the LORD series. I loved this series despite its wild shenanigans much more than the LORD series but it still has some morally black characters. So don’t go in thinking it will be sunshine and rainbows lol. This is not a pitch black book by any means but definitely read your trigger warnings. 

This story centers on Creighton and Annika and you can read as a standalone but you get a lot more out of it if you read God of Malice first. I didn’t love their story as much as Killian and Gwyn but there is a lot more drama.
I was super mad about how their friends treat Annika after “the incident” because any of them would have chosen their sibling over their loved one in a life or death situation, except maybe Gwyn with Landon lol.
THe things I did like in this book were hints at other relationships
particularly Nikolai and Bran being hinted at
.

I would still recommend the series and I am curious about the rest of the series as we get to know the characters much more in depth in their books. This one has even more trigger warnings than Book 1.

"Creighton King is the first person who's eaten her food willingly and even compliments her for it.”

Rina did such an amazing job on this series!
This is the second book but they can all be read as standalone’s!
I really loved this one because I got to see and learn about some of the characters that peeked my interest in book one (God of Malice) and seeing their characters develop was amazing!

Creighton’s character development in this book was AMAZING! And seeing the soft side he has for Annie warmed my heart!! The spicy scenes were SO HOT!

There were so many typos
Ava in an emotional state bc anikka shot creighton then after slapping her she drops the “u were meant to be our sister from another mister”
Like ? Who says that in a serious heated shout , then suddenly she’s all formal like “YOU DARE SHOOT CREIGH?” but then uses a nickname even tho it’s meant to be serious

Also not annis mum being able to tell from a picture on an iPhone that bro is Richard greens son and it’s not even bc he looks like him bc she knows that look in his eyes ??? Be for fucking REAL

The recycled dialogue … there’s so many words in the fkng world and can’t differentiate her characters from one another
Why does anni say semantics they way killlian did ?
Why does creighton say she’s his sanctuary when she literally captioned the exact words for yan?

Why do both creighton and killian take pics and caption on their socials the exact same way ?

And the claiming to their friends that they’re dating was the exact same method ??

Does this author read the books she writes ????

The only thing I enjoyed about this entire book was the “dance with me” when it was raining that shit took me out

One page btw out of 430 pages.

Oh and when Brandon was trying to free Nikolai
I think the next book is about them I am praying it’s not dog water

Can’t wait for Landon and Eli book !!! Pls do not disappoint me RINA!!!
