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

4.7 out of 5 stars 37,007 ratings

#1 BESTSELLER IN THE ENTIRE KINDLE STORE

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes an opposites-attract dark MM romance featuring a New York mafia prince and a British golden boy.

I’m not attracted to men.
Or so I thought before I slammed into Nikolai Sokolov.
A mafia heir, a notorious bastard, and a violent monster.
An ill-fated meeting puts me in his path.
And just like that, he has his sights set on me.
A quiet artist, a golden boy, and his enemy’s twin brother.
He doesn’t seem to care that the odds are stacked against us.
In fact, he sets out to break my steel-like control and blur my limits.
I thought my biggest worry was being noticed by Nikolai.
I’m learning the hard way that being wanted by this beautiful nightmare is much worse.


This book can be read on its own, but for a better understanding of the world, you might want to start with God of Malice.

                          So god of wrath may have my favorite MMC (and my favorite kinks, and spice ect.), but this one is my favorite book in the series. Honestly it’s just written so well. The banter, and the angst is just top notch. Hell the emotional depth of the characters is amazing. The emotional turmoil that Bran goes through is just heartbreaking, and the frustration that Niko deals with is wow. It just completely sucks you in. If you listen to the audio, and read the book at the same time it consumes you. I do want to say that this one is a m/m romance so make sure that you are comfortable with that before you decide to read it. If it is something that you’re comfortable with its soooooo worth the read!! I absolutely loved this book! As always with most of the books I read check those TWs! This one is no different, its a dark romance FFS so what do you expect. Also it’s spicy, so make sure you love spice lol.

                          This Dark Romance is book 5 in the Legacy of Gods Series. Due to this being a dark romance, this book will have lots of darker scenes. Please make sure to check ALL TWs before reading. The romance in this book is a secret relationship. The book is very spicy, and the spice is extremely descriptive. The book moves at a steady pace when Bran catches Nikos eye. Niko never expects Bran to become his new desire, and calm to his inner storm. Only problem is Bran says he isnt interested in Niko that way. Niko is Brans violent enemy, who is obsessed with taking down his twin brother. Bran is a golden boy art student who just wants order in his life, that Niko is determined to bring chaos into. This is an emotional, tension filled book that captures your attention from start to finish.

                          First Impressions
                          God of Fury is the fifth installment in the "Legacy of Gods" series and this series has completely blew me away and I was so curious to see how this author would handle a MM romance as this is her very first novel in this type of romantic interest and she knocked this aspect right out of the park. God of Fury is a story that I think may push some readers and may not exactly work for everyone but I was so fascinated in the growth that we see our couple go through within this story. I had such a fun time with this match up because on the surface you wouldn't think that these two would have anything in common, but when it comes to the heart and mind....they truly find what they need in each other but their journey is a battle.

                          First Line
                          What am I doing here?

                          Summary
                          So the setup of the story is that we have our two male protoganists: Bran and Niko. Niko is the psychopath of the two. He is such an alpha male, and he has his eye on Bran and wants him more than anything. So much so that he is losing interest in what he normally has interest in. Then we have Bran, who has his own mental struggles he has been battling it, and is more of a demisexual. So we see how struggles being in relationships...until Niko. Niko has him feeling things especially more sexually that he has never really experienced but he has always considered himself straight, and doesn't know how to face up to being attracted to Niko in the way that he is. There is this pull and push between Niko and Bran on what they have and if its worth fighting for....will Bran be able to fight for Niko and their love before Niko gives up on him completely?

                          What I Loved
                          Wow! this book packed such a punch and I was there for the ride that this author takes us on. I absolutely adored Niko so much. He was a hoot. Seriously this character had me laughing all over the place. He is such a anti hero and its delicious. I have always loved Niko though and if you have read the other books in the series you are very familiar with his crazy. Then we have Bran who is the prentious prideful of his group of friends. Bran has been the character that we have seen to be the most mysterious. We just know he is the serious twin, but his character is more in the background. In God of Fury we get to see his story and see his background and his story melted my heart and broke it just a bit. What we see Bran struggle with was so heartbreaking. Through much of the story you aren't sure what he is struggling with exactly or what trauma he was dealt, but you know its pretty bad and you know his family is ignorant of it. He has kept it hidden and for years has been dealing with severe depression and is on the verge of being suicidal. I really connected with his character and his struggles. I think if any reader has dealt with depression of any kind, they will be able to see so much of themselves within Bran's character.

                          So the romance is very push and pull. Bran is always on the run and Niko is the one chasing. But there is so much more happeni9ng with Bran than meets the eye. Niko knows that there is something deeper driving Bran's fear then just him coming out of the closet as gay. But Bran is on the run not just sexually or physically but also very emotionally. Niko is pretty patient considering the fact that he is a bit of a psychopath. We see how much he is having to deal with but also knowing that their relationship is practically forbidden and that Bran's twin is his greatest enemy. What we see being developed within the plot was so superb. It kept me on edge all the way through. What will really carry the reader through though is the depth of their relationship. I loved the feel of cat and mouse play game that these two go through and the third act was simply perfection. I knew going into this what was ahead for this one and its hard to see but Rina Kent really handled this scene so very well. I was highly impressed with how it was handled, and seeing how the family and especially Niko deals with it, just breaks your heart. But these two come out on top in the happily ever after and Kent has created such a unique dynamic romance that melted my heart from beginning to end.

                          What I Struggled With
                          The pacing in this book dragged a bit in some parts. The middle section of the story kinda was a bit slow at times. So I feel like there were aspects to the battle between Niko and Bran going back and forth that could have been reduced just a bit because it did get slightly repetitive. But I only knocked off half a star for this element as the rest of the story was a win for me.

                          Overall View
                          God of Fury is a powerful story that tugs at your heartstrings and melts your heart at the deep vibrant emotion that carries the romance through. Its a story of identity, growth and learning to heal past wounds and embrace the love that is steady and impactful.

                          Seems that Bran runs way deeper than I thought, but as he hangs on to me as if I’m his only anchor, I know that I’ll never let him go. Not even if I burn with him. For him. In him. I’d willingly catch fire if he so much as asked me to.

                          This was epically cute and funny and sad. There were a lot of tough themes and character development here and the writer did a great job addressing both. It got a little murky at parts between the action but I didn't mind. The author took their time letting the reader into the inner chaos of the characters and I appreciated that. The ending was more than satisfying and I just wanted more of Bran and Niko. Speaking of Niko, great job there. He was a fun and unique character, with simple desires and a huge heart. For a psycho. Loved him.

                          Favorite of the series, hands down!
                          Y’all, I strongly suggest you listen to the audio and read along. You won’t regret it. Shane and Teddy knocked it out of the park with this one. 🙌🏽
                          The narration throughout the series has been amazing but this one in particular was something else.

                          I knew from previous books that Brandon had a darker side so to speak but i never thought he would be like this. I also knew I would love him even more after his book.
                          With Nikolai I was very intrigued to know what was up with him and why he had his violent side and why he was so hostile towards Bran, or so I thought.

                          The beginning of this book was an experience already. I loved how it started and how much we learned about Bran and how much we delved into. I loved seeing how he felt when Niko came barging into his life and basically didn't take his 'no' for an answer.
                          Bran was such a complex character but also easy to understand and quite honestly the easiest to have sympathy for from the very beginning compared to the others in the series but especially with his twin brother, Landon. I loved seeing how much him and his twin are interlaced with each other and what each other meant to one another.
                          Bran was a closed off person and he wore a mask for everyone but Niko noticed something was up with him and never gave up on getting to the bottom of who the real Bran was.
                          I also liked the journey Bran went when facing desires he never thought he had and what that meant for him and everyone around him in a way.

                          Niko was a very straightforward character. He is very blunt and a simple man and while people think he's dumb, he is anything but that. He also has a heart of gold which I wasn't expecting and that's part of why this book was so good.
                          Niko had the best relationship with his dad, Kyle, and I loved seeing it.

                          They are opposites of each other but that's what worked best. They are both very possessive of each other and I ate that up. Bran was such a surprise in that regard while Niko was the cherry on top of everything else.
                          I loved and felt how deep in love they were for one another and I love these two.

                          Highlights of this story:

                          1- Niko being persistent because he saw something in Bran and he never gave up nor even thought to.

                          2- Landon came through multiple times even if he f****ed things up in the beginning. In my eyes this book felt like a wrap up with Landon's arc because I actually felt that he meant what he said and I was an emotional mess every time.

                          3- Niko & Landon teaming up to take the trash out. 👀

                          4- Levi & Astrid coming through with their understanding and love.

                          5- We finally figured out who white mask is. 👀

                          While I cried in various parts of this story, the third act was a lot. It was painful, emotional, sad and everything in between. I was a mess y'all.
                          This book was painful, very emotional, sweet at times but with a dash of violence and a love between two souls that were meant to be. I suggest you do not read this as a standalone to get the full experience. At least God Of Ruin is a must because Landon is the twin brother and as such an integral piece of Bran's.
                          Please check the TW/CW at the beginning if you have any because it has some heavy topics and while every book in the series is dark, imo this one hits different.

                          I have never ever related this much to a book. I cried and laughed and cringed. I felt the pain and the love and the feelings deep in my soul. I love Rina Kent and have read most if not all of her books now and i know its taken me a while it read it but God of Fury has to be the most heartfelt and beautiful book. I never knew words could be so beautiful and the story they depicted flowed in a beautiful rhythm. For the last two or three years Looking for Alaska by John Green has been my favourite book of all time but now Nikolai and Brandon have come along and stolen my heart because their love story is a true depiction of the fact that love really does conquer all.
