A review by milathel
God of Malice by Rina Kent

3.0

Oh well, where do I start with this book?

“Listen to me and listen to me well, Glyndon. I spent my whole life repressing my true nature, but I’d willingly embrace my demons for you. I’d turn into the devil, a monster, and whatever weapon I have to be if it means I can protect you. You will never, ever question me about it, do you hear me?”

I truly hate myself for being okay with this book. I say this in every dark romance review but I mean it this time. The steam in this book is delicious, but I cannot say the same thing to the rest of the book, including our main characters’ behavior towards each other.

This review may include some spoilers so be aware ok?

The first thing which clicked me off was the fact that every single character in this book was a kid. Age of goddamn 21 at most. Some are connected to the mafia, however all of them are quite privileged regarding their family backgrounds. That didn’t make a lot of sense to me because the moment they said “fuck the police, this is personal” and decided to literally go to these people who had done something equally bad to probably kill or hurt very badly at the best case… I was like… bitches what? No wonder why the judgement system and police cannot do their jobs. You keep being this delusional little shits and deal with things in less mindful way and then cry about the police or the lawyers or the court in general. I mean, there should be a decent character AT LEAST to stop these brats to act like the world belonged to them for the fuck’s sake and heavens above.

The author wanted to create a character with psychopathy, and at some points I liked how Killian was distanced, completely out of this world, careless etc. His behavior made sense because he is a psychopath, right? But LADY WHY WOULD YOU MAKE HIM POSSIBLY FALL IN LOVE AND DESTROY THE EVERY RIGHT THING YOU DID REGARDING HIM BEING A PSYCHOPATH?

He should’ve stayed as it is and we could get along, but the change in the character after doing everything to show him in a particular way? Nah. I’ll just pass it.

After saying all this you’d expect me to give two or one stars to this wouldn’t you? Well I cannot because one I am a freak with weird fantasies and I enjoy reading this shit and two I have no self respect so we love toxic masculinity in 21 year old psychotic boys, sounds right? Only in books. Only in books.

I seriously have no idea how my husband deals with me either.

See ya in the next book.
