God of Malice

Glyndon is an artist, just like her mother, and a student at King University. She has just lost her best friend, Devlin, and is really struggling. One night, she returns to the cliff where Devlin killed himself and considers jumping. But then she meets Killian, and he is different. He doesn’t feel emotions the way most people do, and his favorite color is red—the color of blood. When he was only seven years old, he killed a mouse just to feel something inside. Now Killian wants her to be his, and he is not taking no for an answer. Glyndon isn’t interested, but that doesn’t stop him.

Review

Before I joined a book club, I didn’t read many dark romances. But the other women in my book club are big fans, so I decided to give the genre a try. By exploring different tropes within dark romance, I discovered what I should avoid and what I enjoy. They also recommended God of Malice to me.

I want to start this review by saying that dark romance isn’t for everyone. Like the name suggests, it’s dark, and there is always a list of trigger warnings available. I never thought I would like dark romance because I prefer happy, fluffy romances in real life. But apparently, I don’t mind dark romance as long as it stays fictional.

It started off very dark, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue. The first chapter made me feel a little sick, to be honest. But at the same time, I couldn’t stop reading because I really liked Rina Kent’s writing style. It was so easy to read, and I just couldn’t put it down. I think I finished it in two nights (or maybe three).

Killian is everything I don’t like in a man, but somehow I didn’t mind his weird and disgusting behavior in this book. He forces people into things, doesn’t take no for an answer, and doesn’t mind hurting or even killing someone. He is part of the Heathens Club, and the guys in this club are not known for their sweet behavior.

Glyndon is basically the opposite. She’s a bit shy, maybe, and very innocent. She’s still a virgin at nineteen years old and dreams of having a fairytale love story.

I have to admit that there was a lot of smut in this book. Sometimes I don’t like that, especially when there isn’t much of a story and it’s just smut. I prefer books that have an actual plot, and I think this book definitely has a story. Glyndon’s brothers are not happy about Killian, and there is mafia involvement. I especially liked the part where one hundred people were trying to get into the Heathens Club, and Glyndon was one of them.

There are a lot of side characters, and this story made me curious about their stories as well, so I will definitely be reading the other books. Seriously, one of my book club members welcomed me to the dark side after saying that I secretly liked this one. It might have been one of the best dark romances I’ve read so far. It was well written — there is character development, there is smut, and there is also a solid story. I think this book basically had everything it needed, and I’m curious to find out what’s going to happen in the rest of the series.
