God of Ruin: Special Edition Print

🚨WARNING🚨 This book contains dark theme such somnophilia so please make sure you read the TW first before delving into the book. I’m not gonna lie and say I started this book fast. I might have started slow with this story, not because it was boring—far from it, but because I got too excited to read God of Fury (the next book after this) that I got tempted multiple times to skip this book so I can read about Brandon and Nikolai next (Don’t come for me 🫣). I thankfully didn’t succumb to temptation cause then I would have missed out big time on this wonderful story between our antagonistic-anarchy-loving Landon and strong-headed-knows-her-worth-is-a-queen Mia 😆♥️ Amazing plot line. Rina did great with writing this story and bringing the characters to life. The plot twist near the end was not what I was expecting, but maybe that’s just cause I can be pretty slow with grasping hints shown in the story 😆 It was still good though 👀 I can’t believe I’m saying this but Landon was a very hilarious and refreshing character. I found myself bursting into laughter at his inner monologue as well as his comments about everything. He’s so arrogant and blunt to the point that it was funny. He wasn’t arrogant in an irritating way. He was arrogant in very likeable way where you just find yourself grinning or laughing whenever he talks. His penchant for anarchy and chaos aside, he was very likeable character—one in which I found myself rooting for. The man was genuinely curious about things regarding emotions to make Mia happy (since he really can’t feel them) it was downright adorable. Mia is a spitfire of a woman who I am now proclaiming as queen. The woman had more guts than a lot of men combined. Absolutely fell in love with her. Love her strong personality. She knew her worth and fight for herself if need be. I absolutely love the fact that she’s the only one who can shoot Landon down, cause if anyone needs a little humbling, it’s Landon. The man has an ego the size of a solar system 😂 I know that this book/series might not be up to everybody’s taste, but that’s alright. We all have our own opinions when it comes to fictional stories. I personally am loving this series and will 100% re-read in the future ♥️

And this story was just as sexy and hilarious and crazy as the previous books that we have seen within the series so far. And I have to say that I went into this one pretty blind. I just knew that it was pretty well loved for Rina Kent readers, so I was really hoping that this one worked for me. The pacing was a bit off at times and I had some issues with the plot as a while, but it was still a solid read that kept me entertained. First Line Tonight, a certain eyesore presence will get a taste of his own medicine. Summary Mia and Landon are on opposites of a rivalry and Mia is out to get justice for the harm done to her brother by Landon King. She wants to give him a taste of his justice and when she goes undercover and has an entanglement with him and comes out on top, he knows it was her and he will be coming for her. Mia also suffers from a disability as she was kidnapped as a child and ever since hasn't spoken a word. But Mia is strong willed and loves her family with a passion. When Landon discovers who she is, he plans on hunting her down and bringing her to her knees, but it doesn't go quite as planned when he falls hard for Mia and he will have to work hard to bring a truce between their families and prove himself to her... What I Loved There are many elements to this book that I truly enjoyed. First off, no one writes the crazy playboys like Rina Kent. There is something about how she writes a anti hero that immediately pulls you into the story. And if you want to try out this author and enjoy a good dark romance, this series is the best to start with. It is connected to other series but I highly recommend this series as I think its some of her best writing that she has ever done. From the beginning you are swept up into the story, the first couple of chapters are very compelling and you will hard put being able to place this book down at first. There is some fantastic chemistry that sets the tone of the story from the beginning. We also see how these two play with each other and get off on their games. Landon and Mia make such a fabulous couple and when they work out all the kinks in their relationship---its *chefs kiss* good. I absolutely was entertained with their romance. It gets a bit crazy at times because Landon is not normal lol But Rina Kent really writes Landon in such a way that you are intrigued even if you are disturbed by some of the actions that he takes. There is also a mix of angst in the story. The first aspect is in the relationship itself. But then its also the forbidden aspects to the story. We see how Landon and Mia also have to work with the conflicts of her family. And it gets pretty intense at times. There are also surprises we get in the end involving Mia's past kidnapping and the reveals at the end here----I DID NOT see coming. Rina Kent really knows how to shock her audience and deliver a solid read to get behind on. What I Struggled With The pacing was really off in this book. At times I was super engaged, and at other times I just wanted to skim through parts haha It just felt so off at times and the flow could have been written more smoothly. Overall View God of Ruin is a superb read that delivers thrills and chills, spooky vibes, and a forbidden affair that culminates in a satisfying ending that leaves you burning for more...

Read it !! Read it!!! This series ( legacy of Gods), is fabulous!! Every single book in it is great!! It’s dark but romantic , and the characters are interesting and the plots are just as good. If you like obsessive and possessive Mc’s, touch her kill her type of book, with enemies to lovers trope , look no further !!

LANDON IS HILARIOUS He is my second favorite legacy of gods man. I already loved him in the other books for his vocabulary and overall personality. His character is so complex and I will support him and call him out forever. Mia is a strong FMC especially to handle Landon. She puts him in his place from the start and doesn’t let him forget it. I relate a lot to Mia in style and sarcasm.

I don't know what it was about Landon that was not as fun for me as the rest of the series so far. There was a bit of a disconnect for me with his self-worship and his flavor or obsession for Mia. It felt like he wanted to know what made her tick more than allow himself to fall head over heels into possessive obsession territory. Shane East sells the story though. He makes Landon leap straight off the page and right into my ears. There were so many scenes where I could just imagine him standing there in all his cocky seductiveness. Honestly, where the story shone the most was in the "haunted house" where both he and Mia could be themselves. I loved that he was a genius and could learn sign language so quickly so they could talk. I liked how he just shows up at her parent's house like yeah I'm here for her get over it but also because he's so perceptive he could read the room expertly. I liked the little moments where Lan let's go of his self-control and let's his inner dark romance MMCness rule. Mia on the other hand was quite easy to relate to and understand. Narration was spot on with her, too. She just had such a scary thing happen to her and it was sad to see all those little tidbits come out beat by beat until the whole thing hit its zenith. Landon being a cocky AF alpha male in those final scenes rocked! I just wonder if no one else will compare to Jeremy or Creighton they are both so over the top possessive and that's my MMC crack! Still love this world and these characters. And the duet narration is just the best part of the audiobook! The narrators have such great chemistry you can almost feel their emotions as they tell their sides of the story.

God of Ruin was an enjoyable dark romance book. While this is the fourth book in the Legacy of Gods series it can be read as a standalone. I would recommend just reading the prior books first though for better context and backstory. Also, the main characters of this book are the second generation of the Royal Elite series and the Thorne duet, but those are not needed to be read beforehand. It is dual POVs of the main characters, Landon King and Mia Sokolov, and there are some great tropes like: enemies to lovers, hate to love, opposites attract, and an innocent heroine. I would highly recommend though, checking the content and trigger warnings before reading. I was able to listen to the audiobook at the same time and the duet narration was fantastic and definitely made the story more entertaining. The overall premise was okay. There were some amusing, steamy and entertaining moments. The main conflict/issue throughout the story wasn’t as intense or crazy as I was expecting though. Also, I was hoping for a little bit more chaos from Landon. I will say while I loved Landon in this book, he was surprisingly a lot tamer and not as unhinged as he was in the previous books. So I was slightly disappointed we didn’t get to see him cause more mayhem/drama. He was also very funny and kind of a softy at times, which was interesting. Mia was definitely my favorite character in this book. I absolutely loved her strength, attitude and just general outlook on life. The romance between them was surprisingly quite sweet. I loved how obsessed he became and did everything he could to win her and her family over. There wasn’t as much spice as there has been in the previous books though, but there spicy moments were still entertaining. I definitely liked how they both were a little crazy and just complimented each other perfectly. The conflict at the end wasn’t my favorite, especially with Mia’s sister and all that drama. I wanted a bit more resolution between her and her siblings, as it all just felt very rushed and brushed aside. But the conclusion and epilogue were nice. Overall, just an entertaining read.

How each of these books keep hitting!!! Im going to be honest, at first I was like Landon bro you are meannn! BUT then he starts to do things for Mia and I am a gonerrrrr for him! These two are from rival groups and the tension and angst built into that!! Yall I criedddd! Landon belongs to the Elites and Mia belongs to Kings U. Landon is a psychopath, naturally, and an artist and when he gets his hands on Mia he is inspired, transfixed, and needssss her! Mia is I love seeing a man who is not normally showing affection but will for the FMC! in his own way! Mia went through something traumatic when she was younger and since then has not talked. She communicates through sign language. She is a firecracker and I loveeee her! The back-and-forth banter between these two is hilarious I love it! HE LEARNS SIGN LANGUAGE FOR HER! They begin to hang out a lot with each other and she sees a side of him that nobody else gets to see. I love the way their relationship develops and how she cares for him and stands up for him with her family. He is so obsessed with her, I love it! Ahhh I can believe I waited so long for this series!! My next one is God Of Fury I can't wait!!

So I went into this book completely disliking Lan. I could not stand the man. I was like well, this one may be a bust for me. HA! No, I was already being wrapped around his finger by half way through the book. Does this make me slightly toxic? Probably. Do I care? Absolutely not. NOW lets examine WHY I was BAMBOOZLED into falling for Lan, and why it makes this book amazing. The lengths this man goes to for this woman is just *swoon*. Yes all the men in this series are morally grey, or complete psychopaths who do questionable things, and also do extremely sweet things as well. Lan was actually pretty bad. He was making Killian look like a saint TBH. His actions though? Oh no, he out did himself. Like at this point Im seriously asking myself… do I want a psycho to love me? No, NO! No we do not! Welllllllllll if it was like Lan, then maybe… I mean they say actions speak louder than words. Well his sweet overplayed his psychopath, if you actually pay attention, and in this book it REALLY highlights that. Again like with Killians book it does show the deeper sides of being with someone like them, and the deeper psychological sides. THE BOOK IS A DARK ROMANCE CHECK YOUR TRIGGER WARNINGS FFS!! Its also spicy AF! Be aware of what this book is before you attempt to read it! This Contemporary Dark Romance is book 4 in the Legacy of Gods series. Due to the fact that this book is a dark romance it will have darker topics, scenes, and themes. Please check all trigger warnings before reading. The romance in this book is a obsessive, and forbidden romance. The book is very spicy, and all of the spicy scenes will be descriptive. The book moves at a steady pace following Mia as she captures Landons attention after exacting a plan of revenge for her brother. Only attracting Lans attention is last thing anyone wants. Lan is dangerous chaos, and her brothers enemy. Lans becomes obsessive over Mia, as he decides she is his muse. She will be his, and she will never escape him. This book is a dark, steamy, and all consuming read.

God of Ruin è un dark mafia romance molto coinvolgente, con un ritmo veloce e una tensione costante tra i protagonisti. L’ambientazione criminale aggiunge pericolo e intensità alla storia, mentre la componente romantica è costruita su attrazione, conflitto e momenti emotivi più profondi. Lo stile è scorrevole e la parte spicy è presente e ben dosata rispetto alla trama. Consigliato a chi ama romance dark e atmosfere mafia, con tanta adrenalina e drama.

If you thought Killian was a monster in the first book of the series " God of Malice ".. well, you guessed wrong! Landon King is an absolute psychopath. But I guess that's what happens with people that lack empathy. And guess who's poor soul, Landon's set his sight on ? Mia Sokolov, Nikolai's little sister! Yeah well let's get say, big brother is not happy about it and making it well known. Also appearances can be deceiving, so don't let Mia's fool you, shes' not that innocent 😏 and got lots of secrets of her own. They say opposites do attract. Still, how in the world can these two even work a as couple? Are they even a couple? And thats not even counting on the rivalries between Landon's club ( The Elites ) and Nikolai's ( The Heathens ) ? I Don't see them willing to put it all aside for Mia's sake? And what about their families too? Will they agree ...or agree to disagree? Anyways, I Can't wait for the next book ! Must Read 📚 this series Enjoy

Perfect quality.

I pick my poison and it is called Landon King! 🧎‍♀️He is THE God of Ruin! Before reading this book, I would have said NO WAY, but Rina sold Landon and Mia. Pure gold. 🌟 Rina delivered BIG TIME! Lan being obsessed with Mia was everything. And I will not accept any Lan slander! He thinks he is the personification of physical perfection. And he works his charm. He has won me over! Mia is a total badass but some things were holding her back. 👀 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃@𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒊𝒇 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑺𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒏? I do not want to give anything away but I just have to say this, Lan SEES Mia but Mia also SEES Lan. My heart was bursting with love and joy while reading their story. And every time baddie Mia did something or Lan was being Lan... I JUST COULD NOT HANDLE IT. 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒆 🫠 Rina wrote a captivating and thrilling story for Mia and Landon. I could not put my Kindle down. The writing, pacing, everything was 🔥🔥 The one parent POV that Rina wrote... AAAHH OBSESSED!!! I think it is safe to say that I will never get off this Rina train! The glimpses in this book for the future couples -> *fist in mouth* I CANNOT WAIT! Legacy of Gods returns in December with God of Fury! Brandon and Nikolai's story! I have a few theories now... Will they be proven correct? I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I CANNOT WAIT!
