God of Malice (Standard Edition) (Legacy of Gods, 1)
From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes the first in a dark and steamy college romance series featuring elite criminal families and morally gray heroes. Killian Carson is unfeeling, cold-blooded, monstrous...and has developed an obsession with Glyndon that just might be both of their undoing.
Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He's cold-blooded, manipulative, and vicious. Though his charisma and intelligence fool everyone, Glyndon sees right through him. She sees the psychopath within, and though her brain tells her to run, there's a secret part of her that knows the monster will only chase her...and she may want to get caught.
Glyndon King has never felt like anyone's favorite. Her mother and brothers are the artistic talents in the family, and she knows she will never live up to anyone's expectations. But Killian? He has no expectations except that she is now his. It doesn't matter that their schools are rivals--their possessive, all-consuming desire may be able to drown out everything else.
But can two people with broken souls truly repair the broken parts of each other's psyche? Can their dark and sinful desire overcome their history? When it turns out those pasts are more disturbingly entwined than they thought, they may come out stronger, or it may be their unraveling.

One thing upfront (mild spoilers ahead): rape is a recurring theme in both Malice and Fury. It’s not my favorite thing to read about—obviously—but I appreciate that Rina doesn’t flinch from writing about real, awful things that happen.
Killian is basically the textbook ‘fictional psychopath.' I loved getting in his head, and I’m weirdly here for exploring that kind of broken logic. He’s messed up. He’s violent. He’s calculating. And yet—I found myself fascinated by how Rina makes you understand him without excusing him. I’m pretty sure I have a thing for MCs with personality disorders, because I love the chance to explore and relate to “different” people. Books like this are my ethical way to live vicariously in the head of someone you’d absolutely cross the street to avoid in real life.
Overall? Hot, dark, violent, and compulsively readable. I devoured it in record time. It may not have dethroned God of Fury in my heart (Brandon, you complicated mess, you’ll always be my favorite), but it absolutely delivered.
Thank you, Rina Kent, for another deeply twisted, scorchingly sexy ride. Can’t wait to keep going in this universe—even if it means risking minor trauma and major book hangovers.
I expected more from this.
"My family is pretty much alive, loaded, and associated with the mafia." I don't think I eye rolled hard enough for that line.
