God of Pain by Rina Kent Book Review
God of Pain is Rina Kent’s second book in her Legacy of Gods series. I honestly didn’t think I’d be that into Annika and Creighton’s story, but hot damn Rina Kent proved me wrong. Dare I say I even enjoyed it more than God of Malice?? Holy moly what a ride this book was.
First things first, the Deception Trilogy references and cameos were EVERYTHING! I got so giddy when we got POV’s from Lia and Adrian! Man, I miss those two. If you haven’t read their books yet (they are Annika’s parents) stop what you’re doing and get book one downloaded on your kindle asap.
Annika and Creighton couldn’t be more opposite. Annika fully embodies sunshine and Creigh fully embraces the grump he is. This book is a total opposites attract. Annika’s sole mission is to break down Creigh’s walls and get to know the real him and boy does she get more than she bargained for. He comes from a crappy childhood and unraveling his past is quite the rollercoaster of emotions.
Creighton has particular tastes in the bedroom so definitely know your triggers before reading. He’s a straight up sadist. I was literally learning right along side Annika 😂. I’m 100% sure my eyeballs looked like 😳.
Annika’s character has surprised me the most so far. I related to her a lot in the beginning. Confrontation? Hate it. Seeing people become vulnerable in a group setting? Nope. Always seeing the good in people? Yup. It was nice to see her finally come into her own especially when it came to her family. I mean a Mafia princess can only take so much.

God of Pain Blurb
I made a terrible mistake.
Being a mafia princess, I knew my fate was already decided.
But I went ahead and longed for the wrong one.
Creighton King is bad news with a gorgeous exterior.
He’s silent, brooding, and obviously emotionally unavailable.
So I thought it was over.
Until he awakens a beast inside me.
My name is Annika Volkov, and I’m Creighton’s worst enemy.
He won’t stop until he breaks me.
Or I break him.
Welp, Rina Kent has done a magnificent job once again! If you liked God of Malice, you will absolutely love God of Pain. I mean who doesn’t love when a sunshine-y mafia princess FMC barges into the life of a silent and grumpy MMC? *chef’s kiss* Although this could be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading God of Malice first!
