corcordium 's review for:

Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent

3.5

---

i feel rina wrote herself into a box with this one by creating such a closed off, cold and detached character like kane, because i couldn't give a fuck about his character or his relationship with dahlia. instead, i found myself way more interested and intrigued by jude, preston and marcus than the main character of this book. while i liked dahlia, because of what i said before this book didn't click with me. kane gave me nothing, and i couldn't connect at all. i wish we at least would have gotten scenes of him opening up about his past and upbringing but the little we found out was told by his mother. not to mention that the whole plot of this book was the mystery of what happened to dahlia's sister and we didn't even get a single answer to that by the end of this book. also kane finally getting his revenge against his father in THAT scene was incredibly anticlimatic, and would have loved a lot more grovelling from his part for lying to dahlia the entire time about her sister. cannot wait for preston and marcus' book though, their scenes still live rent-free in my head.
