God of Fury: A Dark MM College Romance (Legacy of Gods Book 5)

I will never not recommend this book! Warning, I will be talking about a particular trigger in this book which inherently has spoilers, so reader beware. This book has everything I absolutely love! It has a beautiful growth of both main characters, it has pining, amazing banter, and going for what you want! Also, please listen to the audiobook because the narrators are just absolutely *chefs kiss* perfection! We have an insane, amazing Russian bisexual chaos demon, who in reality is a golden retriever, but only gives off scary vibes! Then you have the prim and Proper golden boy, who definitely has a past that has been tainted by trauma. This is where the warning comes in: this book deals with SA and trauma responses (including self harm) that some survivors go through and what it does to the people around them as well as how others handle their coping mechanisms. For better or worse, I loved how this book tackles it. It is hard to read, and if you have been through anything like this, please know your triggers and please know that you can skip to the next chapter and you will be okay. (Remember, it is a dark romance, so I will say that the revenge for the SA is absolutely worth reading! This means only skip to the next chapter, don’t skip too far.) This book has become one of my all-time favorite rereads and it will always bring me joy. In this series, there is no couple better than Niko and Bran!

Read it and listened to the audiobook. Loved both. Loved the two POV of the MC and their progression of their identity and psychological health. All the feels.

LOVEDDD! probs one of my favorite books ive ever read lowk

I love the book the narration was very good;I have this soft spot on the characters especially Nikolai Sokolov;he is like an open person about how he feels and not afraid of talking his feelings out; it kinda made me curious on how did the author came into the character. looking forward for more of the authors works...

My sister and I are unabashed sluts for a good MM romance (no shame in our game), so the second she recommended this one, I pounced like a cat on a laser pointer. Rina Kent did not disappoint. The spice? Absolutely nuclear. I was sweating through the chapters and savoring every delicious moment.

For context, I read this before starting God of Malice. According to Reddit (and Rina’s own site), you can read them as standalones in the same universe. That’s true—but now that I’ve started God of Malice, I see it offers way more background on the schools, the mafia families, and the overall web of organized chaos that I kinda missed by diving into Fury first. Do I regret it? Hell no! But I’d probably suggest reading in order if you want the full cinematic universe experience.

Now, slight spoiler territory ahead: there’s a recurring theme in both books involving the rape of a main character. Personally, I can handle it—I’m an adult reader, and unfortunately, it reflects real-world horror. I’m not critiquing it, but it’s something I think people should know going in. But it’s something readers might want a heads-up about. It also has me wondering: does this theme persist throughout the series? Is it an intentional thread for exploring trauma? Something from the author’s personal experience? No demand for answers here—just musing out loud.

What really hooked me, though, was Brandon. He’s incredibly relatable. His struggles gave me words for some of my own, which is exactly what literature is supposed to do. So thank you, Rina Kent—I can’t wait to read more of your books.

Overall? Hot as sin, gripping, and a total ride. If you’re into mafia drama, angst, scorching heat, and complex characters wrestling real demons, add this to your list immediately.
