God of Pain: An addictive dark mafia romance from the New York Times bestselling author (Legacy of Gods)

Okay, this book was LONG but I wasn't bored for even a second. The writing was obviously very engrossing and the clash of the RES world with the Bratva world was more thrilling than I was expecting. This book was much better than book one in the series. I can't stop thinking about all the characters especially that one scene where Adrian & Aiden finally clash! I also loved Creighton & Annika. They gave me the buzz and I loved their dynamics. And not to mention the pov's of Adrian, Lia and Aiden were very heartfelt and at the same time entertaining. I'm pretty obsessed with this book mostly because of all the characters involved. I ate up every single interactions between them. Creighton's bond with Eli, Elsa and Aiden was so much more than I could ever have contemplated. The flow of the story was smooth and I just devoured it in one sitting! It started and ended with a bang and kept me hooked throughout. It was easily a five star read for me and I just can't stop thinking about what's going on between Jeremy & Cecily and Eli & Ava respectively. I seriously don't know how am I going to wait for Eli & Ava's book because their crumbs in this one were top-tier and it's confirmed that their book is going to be the last in the series. I can't stop wondering whose book is going to be next though.

I just finished reading this book and I already done with God of Malice. I love this books , the hold on storyline is too good, I just don't want to stop reading this. I literally Cried 😭while reading this book ( I was trying to hide my tears as I am at my work place), This is one of some book which makes me cry🥺❤️. Enimies to lover trope, Grumpy × sunshine 💐 The spicy level🌶️ is 4.5/5 🌡️, The relationship they both hold with their Parents and frnds 😭💓 I just didn't expect some twist which came but i love it though and Jeremy, I love this man, till now i haven't seen him doing something wrong & will see later what happen. Ok so I love this book but there are some point I literally want to kick the ass of Creighton like why would he take off his revenge on her , he kinda broke her also, I Know I know that the I love this book but don't know how make you people understand this what I am feeling about the revenge point. Overall the Book is on fire 🔥 Do read it

It's soooo good must buy 💯💯💜

Book Condition: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The plot : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the paper quality could have been more better.

I had to force myself to read this book. Did not connect to any of the characters because Annika was too much of a social butterfly and Creighton was... Well, like a malfunctioned version of Christian Grey. Except for the back story the guy had no personality and even that was because of the Volkovs. The shooting and stuff made it a little interesting towards the end and that was all. The rest of it was a mo show. Honestly, the side characters like Lan, Remi, Ava, Eli, anni's parents and Creigh's parents made the story more interesting than the main characters.

Okay I get the hype about dark romance and honestly the smut is good, could be better but it's fine, no complaints there. However, all your stories have a very cliche background and same ending. Most of the male protagonists want to fill their partner's womb with babies and it is all about some college club rivalry which involves coincidents that involves parents of both the male and female protagonists. The background of characters can be improved so the story gets more interesting, all the male characters also sound pretty much the same if I had to describe all the characters in one word I will just say dark. So yeah you can work on them. But, overall it's good. Worth reading.

Some may not like how the characters behaves but the plot is so interesting it doesn't let you put the book down dispute your displeasure

Like this book very much and most importantly about the sellers they send me 2 free bookmarks... out of nowhere I have bookmark and the quality of bookmark and book is not cheap. Truly amazing and fascinating. Best of luck guys And Thank you for the book and the bookmarks You got your fixed customer 🫶♥️

I’ve been so excited for God of Pain because I hoped to get a glimpse of Adrian & Lia again 💜 Their trilogy is my favorite mafia romance of all time. So you can see why I was excited to see them again and follow Annika’s story. Rina seriously killed it with these two Anni & Criegh are everything I wished for and more. I 100% stayed up until 4am sobbing and rooting for these characters - if you know me, you know I love when a book makes me cry - I was feeling absolutely everything the characters were going through. This is what keeps me coming back to Rina’s books over and over.💜 Annika is sunshine wrapped in a pretty purple dresses. Creighton is grumpy personified and lets you know it with just one look. Getting to know these characters was a ride and a half. The plot is dark, twisted and the spice is down right panty soaking.🫠 The push and pull between these two and their build up is EVERYTHING. 🙌🏻 I don’t want to give anything about the plot away but trust me when I say - You will not be able to put this down - There are elements of mystery and suspense that will have a hold on you. The side characters in Rina’s books always add a lightness and the perfect dash of humour - I still can’t get over how bloody hilarious Remi is though, his dramatics make me cackle. (Also the group chats have such hold on me, I swear I live for those parts.) Let me tell you, you are not ready for the spice Rina brings in this one. It was complete and utter perfection. 🥵🫠 If you like grumpy x sunshine, praise kink, dark anti-heroes, mafia elements, mystery and a dash of “touch her and die” vibes this is the book for you. Now I patiently wait for God Of Wrath 😇

Rina Kent never fails to deliver dark, addictive romance, and God of Pain is no exception. This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, tension, and undeniable chemistry between two characters who shouldn’t work together but somehow, they do. Anni and Creigh are like fire and ice, oil and water completely opposite in so many ways, yet they fit together so perfectly that it’s impossible not to root for them. Anni is rebellious, carefree, and untamed, while Creigh is structured, disciplined, and carries a quiet intensity that makes him all the more dangerous. Their dynamic is electric, with a push-and-pull tension that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last. What I love most about their relationship is how they challenge each other. Anni is the kind of heroine who refuses to be caged, even when the man in front of her has the power to break her. She’s wild, stubborn, and refuses to conform yet Creigh, with his controlled dominance, sees her in a way no one else does. He doesn’t just want to tame her; he wants to understand her, possess her, and make her his in a way that is both passionate and consuming. And Anni? She pushes him right back, cracking through his carefully constructed walls and unraveling the parts of him he tries so hard to keep hidden. The way Rina Kent crafts their story is pure magic. The tension is off the charts, and the emotional depth between them is beautifully raw. There are moments of pure frustration, moments that make your heart ache, and moments that leave you breathless because their chemistry is just that intense. And let’s not forget the darker undertones of the story Rina Kent always brings a sense of danger and intrigue, making every scene even more gripping. Beyond the romance, the world-building and side characters add so much richness to the book. The Royal Elite universe is always filled with complex dynamics, family expectations, and power plays, and God of Pain weaves all of that into Anni and Creigh’s journey in a way that feels seamless. Overall, God of Pain is an intoxicating, intense, and deeply satisfying read. If you love dark romance with strong-willed characters who crash into each other and create something beautiful from the wreckage, this book is a must-read. Anni and Creigh’s love story is messy, passionate, and unforgettable just the way it should be.

IO NON SO NEMMENO DA DOVE INIZIARE CON QUESTO LIBRI SINCERAMENTE. NON NE HO LA F*TTUTA IDEA. Creig e suo fratello Eli mi avevano conquistato già in God of Malice. E dopo questo libro posso confermare che sono i miei preferiti in assoluto. D!o se lo sono e quanto li amo. Creig é l'introverso del gruppo, quello silenzioso, misterioso la cui presenza però si fa sentire. Ed anche forte. Imponente. E' un ragazzo che ha fatto dei suoi sguardi un modo di comunicare. Quando decide di far trasparire qualcosa dalla sua maschera di indifferenza che generalmente indossa. Ma quando entra in azione, quando si lascia andare, tenetevi pronti! Quelli silenziosi sono i peggiori. I più oscuri. I più devi4ti. Annika l'ho adorata. Alla follia. Così innocente, semplice, pulita. Così disposta a tutto per lui. Per conoscerlo, per abbattere le sue mura. Per entrargli sotto pelle. Annika non si arrende con Creig. Con il suo essere rude, sgarbato, scostante anche quando l'allontana. Anche quando le fa capire che non la vuole. Annika non ha niente del mondo in cui é nata. E' la principessa della M4fia. Ma é pura. Ingenua. Dolce. Apparentemente non hanno nulla a che fare. Sono l'opposto. L'oscurità e la luce. Il buono e il cattivo. L'imperfetto e la perfezione. La bella e la bestia. Ma Annika con Creig caccerà se stessa. E conoscerà un suo lato nascosto. Un lato fatto per Creigh. Il suo lato morbido che si piega ai suoi spigolosi. La sua morbidezza alla sua durezza. Una sottomessa. Una pura a cui piace il dolor3. Creig é un sadic*. Ha sempre saputo quello che é. Il dolore lo fa sentire vivo. Per questo combatte nel club clandestino del college. E ne é il campione. E' spietato, sanguin*so. E l'infliggere dolore sessu4lm3nte. E' un sadic*. Vedere quel lato di lui, così domaninate. Oscuro. Spietato E' stato un qualcosa che mi ha travolta. Sconvolta. Lasciata senza fiato. Non so nemmeno esprimere appieno come mi sono sentita leggendo questo libro. Dal bambino rotto. Traumatizzato. Spezzato. Sommerso dagli incubi. Dall'oscurità. Dal suo passato che l'hanno reso tale. Al suo tormento mi si è spezzato il cuore. E non credo ci possa essere una ragazza migliore, più adatta per lui che non sia Annika. Determinata, dolce, che evita gli scontri. Annika che finalmente scoprirà chi è. Che combatterà per ciò che è.

This series is amazing. The story is great ( as always), the characters are interesting and have depth and the side characters are always funny or insightful in some way or another. It was highlight for me having Lia, Adrian and Aiden’s pov for so many reasons. This book made me like Lia and Adrian more than before and Aiden is just a f***ing great father. Who knew he would be this amazing? Elsa is still everything he sees but his sons are his reward and I loved everything second of them. Annika is a balanced character in the way that she can be carefree but also serious and fierce. She’s loyal to her family to a fault and she had a difficult journey ahead of her in order to get what she wanted in life. Creighton was so interesting to unravel. He’s the type that only speaks when needed and doesn’t like to waste words. Words are very important and silence can say a lot. He’s so quiet and seemingly doesn’t care about anything but when Annika comes into his life, he started living and appreciated how much Annika can babble to fill the silence. Their relationship was so seamless but also not in a way. I loved how they were together. Annika persistence made them inevitable. Cray’s dominance was so 🥵🫠! Their sexy times together were amazing and he’s definitely the God of Pain. 🤭🫠 Cray has a shocking and sad past and the way his life intertwined with Annika’s was just 🤯. It broke my heart when everything came to light and it was painful to read. Eli surprised me with how much he doted on Creighton and I loved every second of it. Eli has a lot going on in his mind so I’m very interested to see how his story goes. Landon is still being Landon in this one and I don’t know what to make of him. He’s not on my favorite list for now. 😶 Brandon is still sweet guy and I wonder how much darkness he has inside him. 🤔 Nikolai is still as crazy and I loved him. Nikolai and Brandon are happening and I wanted it badly! Jeremy is a lot like Adrian but also not. I wonder how much he differs from Adrian tho and how he runs his empire. Adrian is great. I didn’t loved him in his book but this book definitely gave him brownie points even though he’s still overprotective. He’s Papa bear through and through. Aiden as I mentioned was amazing every time he appeared. I loved how he supported his sons no matter how ludicrous their ideas or what they wanted were. Obviously he made me cry towards the end. He’s just so great and I loved him and Elsa and how they dealt with everything. 🥹 His confrontation with Adrian was gold! Cecily is in trouble for sure and I have a theory so let’s see how wrong I am about it. 😂 I’m 99.9% sure Cecily and Jeremy’s book are next. Either way I’m super ready for God of Wrath!

First I like to announce that I have a love and hate relationship with Rina’s books! She always destroys me with her stories and her capacity of making the unthinkable connections. For my review for GOP, I can say that I cried like a little girl. And that never happened before with her books. I guess being Adrian’s (which is my favorite) daughter I knew she would be more like Lia, since Jeremy is his carbon copy, but never in my wildest thoughts I would think she would be like that. Annika surprised me in the best way possible. I am so in love with her, that I wanted keep her to myself. Creighton however, I need to pick my jaw from the floor. He was just absolutely intriguing, amazing with a big J/P tag in his forehead. I was not prepared for this! I love to see his relationship with Eli, and seeing exactly how they interact was the cherry of this cake. All this hypothetical stories and possible plots just started building in my mind and now I can’t stop thinking about Eli and Ava, Jeremy and Cecile and Brandon and Nikolai. The twist in this book just crushed my heart and at the same time this characters earned my absolute respect. I did not see this coming. I don’t know if Rina planned this or if just came to her writing this book, but I’m now afraid and excited to what’s coming and at the same time I know that all my theories for the next books are not even close to what she will deliver. I’m just now hungover and I’m gonna spend a least a week wallowing and thinking about this amazing story!!
