From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a scorching standalone professor/student dark MM romance set in the Legacy of Gods' world.

My darkness meets a darker soul.

I’m a golden boy.

A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son.

Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside.

Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire.

I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem.

Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain.

I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons.

That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor.

Kayden Lockwood.

A criminal who’s teaching criminal law.

I can't expose what he's done without unmasking my secret life.

What I can do, however, is force him to taste the poison he gave me.

In the clash of titans, Kayden and I break and crumble.

And I'm starting to realize this dangerous game may have no winners.

This is a dark romance with themes that may not be for everyone. Please visit the author's website for content warnings before listening.

This story took me on a roller coaster of emotions. At first I was a bit nervous to start it because I had this image in my head of who Gareth and Kayden were, and didn’t want to disrupt it. And due to so many mixed reviews on TikTok I was a little afraid that I wouldn’t like what I read/heard, but I gave it a go anyway:) In the beginning I found Gareth’s personality a bit off putting, and I wasn’t so sure about it, but I grew to like it. I have seen many people calling him whiny and annoying. And that Rina made him to be a “cheap copy” of previous characters, but I disagree on that front. I found him refreshing in a way, while many of Rinas other characters were openly manipulative and caused mayhem, Gareth did it from the shadows. And I liked the aspect that we as readers got to see inside his head, while most of the characters in the book had no clue what was really going in his mind. I have also read that people found it too dark, but I didn’t mind. You literally read dark romance, so the characters aren’t going to be golden retrievers. I was a bit surprised how little we got to see the student and professor aspect of the story though, like the lead up to the book made it out to be this big thing. But honestly we got very little of it, it kinda was just an afterthought. But well yeah enough of my rant, I would definitely recommend everyone to read the book, and form their own opinion on it. And I absolutely would recommend listening to it, it was spectacular when it comes to the narration! Can’t wait for Vaugh and Julien next year!

Absolutely brilliant narration!

"Villain and Monster. Two fractured souls that fit perfectly"

The full cast narrating this audiobook did a phenomenal job bringing this to life. All the cameos from the couples in the past books were extra special as they each got their own voice. It made me so nostalgic, and it just made the experience of reading this even better! Also, Kayden's voice in my ear was indeed an experience 🔥🔥🔥

Honestly, at this point, reading Rina's books feels comforting, which is weird to admit given their content... I couldn't wait for Gareth's story to release, and overall, it didn't disappoint. Gareth himself was so different from how I thought he would be. I was expecting calm, cool, and collected, and instead, we got unhinged, obsessive, and psychopathic. Kayden Davenport, though, was the biggest surprise... I was not expecting to love him as much as I did. These two just fit perfectly, and I loved their story. It was unhinged and HOT, but also emotional and deep.

This would have been a 5 star, except certain parts were too similar to Niko and Bran's story for me to overlook. Also, Gareth, as much as I wanted to obsess over him, was really whiny at times and just felt juvenile, which I hate to say. Hence, the 4 star rating.

Regardless, I still really enjoyed it, and as I previously mentioned, seeing cameos of the couples from the past books just made me so nostalgic 🥹

ALSO, the little set up for the Vipers series Rina is releasing has me intrigued 👀 Very excited for those!!!

10/10 narration!
