Finally, at the end of summer—or, well, mid-August—I’m coming back to finish my beloved Legacy of Gods series by Rina Kent.
I was left with God of Ruin, which tells the love story between Landon, Brandon’s twin brother, and Mia, the twin sister of Maya and Niko Sokolov. And reading about their parents first made this book even more delicious. Give me family connections, generational trauma, questionable morals, and beautiful psychopaths and I’m seated.
Mia thinks she’s already gotten her revenge—until she catches the attention of Landon King, a brilliant, wealthy artist who decides to make her his newest target. What starts as a vicious battle of wills quickly turns into a twisted game where every move is calculated, every hit demands retaliation, and neither of them is willing to surrender. And somewhere between revenge, mind games, and undeniable attraction, the line between enemy and obsession starts to disappear.
I’m about 150 pages in, and honestly? I don’t really know if I’m into Landon and Mia’s dynamic yet. But it is written in true Rina Kent fashion: he hates her for no apparent reason, she hates him right back, he falls in love with her, she’s attracted to him, and BAM—suddenly we’re in the deep end. Insane how this exact dynamic somehow worked for six books, but it kept me reading, right? No complaints here.
I really love the gothic vibe Landon creates for Mia, especially the way he makes this creepy, haunted environment feel like a place where she can actually feel safe and secure. And the fact that they’re doing all of this in a haunted house that has exactly ONE modern room because apparently his art studio is the only place that matters? I love it.
Just imagine Mia running around in her panties and Doc Martens while Landon, looking like a Greek god who may or may not be a complete psychopath, is chasing her through a haunted house. And somehow this turns into kinky romance. Amazing. Absolutely ridiculous. Exactly what I came here for.
I’m starting to really like Landon—not only because of his artsy personality, but because this man FALLS FIRST. And when he falls, he falls HARD. I love that he was actually capable of loving someone this deeply, especially when his entire personality initially screams “emotionally unavailable menace.”
I’m also really curious about who took Mia’s voice, and now I’m even more curious about God of Fury. I’m so into the fact that Landon finally decided to become a better man with the help of his siblings because he didn’t want to lose Mia. I was craving this character development, and now that we’re getting closer to the man who stole her voice, I’m completely invested.
At this point, I had a feeling this book was going to be five stars.
And yes, I know myself. It was a five-star read for me, just like the rest of the series.
I absolutely loved Lan and Mia’s relationship and basically everything about them. The obsession, the chaos, the gothic atmosphere, the insanity—give me all of it.
Highly recommend, obviously 🖤
