God of Malice (Standard Edition): A Dark College Anti-Hero Romance (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.

Glyndon's best friend just committed suicide by driving off a cliff. Glyndon goes back to the cliff⁰ to pay respects and cry, really. Killian happens to be there and sees an opportunity for her to be his photographic muse.
Let me tell you: if you like non-con from the jump, this first chapter is for you! Rina Kent dives head first into Killian's antisocial personality disorder, and boy is the non-con a doozy!
After the cliff, Glyndon is very intrigued by Killian, and she thinks about him all the time, especially in relation to her brother Landon, who also exhibits antisocial personality disorder. She feels comfortable with Killian to the point of having trust in him for absolutely no reason at all.
Killian is interested in Glyndon to the point of altering some of his behaviors to get in her good graces.
Ultimately, they end up in a real relationship further in the book, and they do a whole meet the parents thing. And let me tell you the scene in which Killian meets Levi and Jonathan and Landon is there and the 3 of them spend the whole time talking about killing Killian is priceless, i could have used a whole chapter of that 🤣
There is an HEA and 2 epilogues, but they go out less than a year, probably because they didn’t want to give too much of the next books away.
Rina hits you with multiple instances of non-con, which is spicy, so I'm giving it 🌶🌶🌶/5 chilis on the spicy scale. If the regular sex would have been less vanilla, I would have given it another chili, but alas, it was not even chocolate.
I listened to the audiobook, which is an experience with all the accents 🖤 and I highly recommend it.
Deul narration, 5 narrators, multiple POVs, first person. This audiobook is amazing! Sebastian York & Josie Minor do a fantastic job with cameos by Aaron Shedlock, Wen Ross & Kylie Stewart.
