<h2 class="wp-block-heading">God of Wrath by Rina Kent Book Review</h2>



<p>Holy smokes, Rina Kent does it again. She’s on a roll with this series! Each book just gets better and better. I’ve been looking forward to Jeremy’s book, God of Wrath, since this series was introduced and it was 100% worth the wait.</p>



<p>I was so curious to see Jeremy grown up after being introduced to him as a child in the Deception trilogy which is about his parents, Adrian and Lia. Spoiler alert, he’s Adrian’s twin (cold, ruthless and overprotective) and was obviously affected by all the craziness that went down in those books. He has quite a bit he has yet to come to terms with from that time.</p>



<p>Cecily has a past as well that she struggles to cope with day to day. She puts on a brave face for her loved ones and plays the role of an overprotective mother to her friends. Through her super caring nature, no one has any idea of the demons she faces.</p>



<p>Jeremy recognizes Cecily’s demons immediately (made easy from his childhood) and makes it his mission to keep her safe. Even if that includes stalking her every day <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f937-1f3fc-200d-2640-fe0f.png" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. He is the definition of I hate everyone but you. Eeeeeeeeek!</p>



<p>I have to say, these two are probably the most emotionally aware couple of Rina’s that I’ve read. There’s some deep conversations and a few intense moments shared. It was refreshing how open they were with one another.</p>



<p>Ok, as are most of Rina’s books, this book is spicy, spicy, spicy! I’ll be honest, I had no idea what a primal kink was going into this. I am now educated and it was a damn good time to read. And I must say, the women of the Volkov men really know how to get under their skin with just their voice. Or lack there of. Iykyk lol.</p>

<p>Next up is Landon’s book and I can only imagine what Rina has in store for him. He is the most unhinged person in this series so I’m sure it’s going to be a crazy ride! However, I think I’m most looking forward to Eli’s book…thoughts??</p>



<p>P.S. Although this can be read as a standalone, I strongly suggest you read God of Malice and God of Pain first!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">God of Pain by Rina Kent Book Review</h2>



<p>God of Pain is Rina Kent&#8217;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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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 <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. I’m 100% sure my eyeballs looked like <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.</p>



<p>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.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">God of Pain Blurb</h2>



<p>I made a terrible mistake.<br>Being a mafia princess, I knew my fate was already decided.<br>But I went ahead and longed for the wrong one.<br>Creighton King is bad news with a gorgeous exterior.<br>He’s silent, brooding, and obviously emotionally unavailable.<br>So I thought it was over.<br>Until he awakens a beast inside me.<br>My name is Annika Volkov, and I’m Creighton&#8217;s worst enemy.<br>He won’t stop until he breaks me.<br>Or I break him.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>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&#8217;t love when a sunshine-y mafia princess FMC barges into the life of a silent and grumpy MMC? *chef&#8217;s kiss* Although this could be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading God of Malice first!</p>
