OMG ..... I loved this book. I couldn't stop reading once I started, I was hooked from the very first chapter. Rina Kent has an amazing ability at creating the best stories. I was super intrigued to read Creighton and Annika's story from the little glimpse we got in God of Malice. I loved that book so much I didn't know how God of Pain would rank to me but it went above and beyond my expectations and even surpassed God of Malice for me. I loved Creighton with his few words and his grumpy persona. I loved Annika with her need to find out who Creighton really was and break down all his walls. They were so perfect for each other and I have a weakness for Creighton that was a little unexpected. Creighton is super protective and possessive of Annika which is one characteristic that I love. God of Pain is a grumpy sunshine dark romance book with trigger warnings. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series! I would give this book 5 stars!
Favorite Excerpt:
“You didn’t wait so we could go back to campus together.” His low, rich voice vibrates through me as he falls in step beside me.
“We never said we’d go back together.”
“Why else would I ask you what you were doing?”
“I don’t know. Making conversation?”
“I don’t talk without purpose.”
Oh, so that’s what this is all about? I mean, yeah, he doesn’t talk, no matter how much I try to push him, but maybe that’s really because he finds no purpose in speaking for the sake of speaking.
“There was a purpose behind all those questions?”
He nods, his dark lashes lowering like a prison against ocean eyes.
“And what was it?” I pull out my second AirPod and place them back in their case, then throw them in my bag.
“Don’t ask Bran to be your fake boyfriend.”
My hand pauses on the zipper before I slowly close it, and my steps falter until I fall behind. My face feels frozen as I stare up at him. “What?”
“You heard me.”
