GOD OF MALICE, RINA KENT

God of Malice is one of the darkest and best books I have ever read. Rina has created a whole new world and completely different heroes who, despite their nature, are characters that cannot be hated. The first book is the best introduction to the entire series. It keeps you in suspense until the very end, thus arousing various emotions, the most noticeable of which is curiosity about what will happen next.

Glyndon is the only female heiress of the name King. As her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, she knows how big expectations rest on her, but one event has left  an unforgettable mark on her that she has begun to doubt who she really is. She's lost and doesn't really know how to assemble the puzzle herself, on which her soul has crumbled. Glyndon is a woman who is brave and self-confident. I love how stubborn she is and how she pursues her goals. She is not afraid of the darkness that surrounds her at every step.

“I’m a King, and we don’t get told what to do.”

Killian Carson is not the hero but the villain in this story. From childhood, he was definitely different from the rest. A little bit broken, a little bit lost, but always curious about the world and all its nooks and crannies. His psychopathic side was a cause for concern, but Killian had learned to hide it under the guise of a man who normally functions in society. Everything changes the moment the circumstances meet him with the honey blonde girl.

"Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side."

The story of Killian and Glyndon is not all roses, but thorns. Even so, their book is simply wonderful. Sometimes the greatest beauty is hidden under the ugliest undercuts and so it is with the love of the main characters. I fell in love with the dark side of Killian and how caring but also possessive he was towards Glyndon.

"Understand this, Glyndon, there's nothing noble or tender about what I feel for you. It's a violent volcano of obsession, possession, and deranged lust. If you want love, then I do love you, but it's the unorthodox version of love."

God of Malice is a beautiful, but also one of Rina's darkest books. Personally, I can't imagine it would be any different. It consumed me from the very beginning to the last word. It left a mark on my soul and a curiosity that I hope will be dispelled by the rest of the Legacy of Gods books that I am anxiously waiting for. Rina went back to her roots, which she only strengthened with a great start to Second Generation.
