God of Malice takes us into a journey where Rina Kent introduces the second-gen crew, which is like a diverse, dysfunctional family. 
 
The initial shock factor in the first chapter, may unsettle some, especially with Killian's cliffside antics, but trust me, it's a wild ride you won't want to miss. 
 
Now, despite Killian's less-than-heroic behavior, the novel stands firm in its genre – DARK ROMANCE. Killian unapologetically embodies the archetype of a morally black character. He definitely is no Mr. Nice Guy, but guess what? That's the point! The explicit trigger warnings and author's notes on page one are a clear directive to readers: expect the unconventional, relish the gritty, and embrace the morally complex. 
It's a world where boundaries are pushed, and the characters' relationships, from psychopaths to sensitive artists, unfold in a brutal and immoral dance. So If you're not up for a dose of dark and edgy, maybe pick a different genre. 
 
The strength of the narrative lies not only in the unconventional characters but also in the relationship among them. The intricate connections and friendships provide a captivating backdrop to the story, enriching the overall experience and leave us beg for more. 
 
In the end, God of Malice is a daring exploration into the depths of darkness, unapologetically delivering a narrative that pushes boundaries. For those who revel in the brutal, immoral, and dark aspects of fiction, this book is a must-read. The possessive dirty talk and fiery passion contribute to a story that, despite its controversial nature, leaves an indelible mark on its readers. 
 
Just don't forget to buckle up for the wild, unpredictable ride!
