As expected, every time Rina Kent drops a book, the fandom splits in two and Kiss the Villain is no exception. Tbh, I still don’t get the baseless criticism this book’s getting. For me It’s a solid five stars. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down. It’s got everything I crave, layered, complex characters wearing way too many masks, sexual tension, plot twists that had me screaming, action-packed scenes, cameos (THE CAMEOS!), razor-sharp dialogue, a never-ending push and pull, pain, heartbreak (grab the tissues, babes), and an epic HEA. I’d put it right up there with GOF and that’s saying something. Obviously, we’re talking dark romance, so these characters aren’t here to be liked. They’re dark, twisted, toxic, obsessive, sociopathic, and 100% politically incorrect, and I am here for every single bit of it. Give me the villains, Rina. Give. Me. Them. All. I literally cannot wait for Hunt the Villain, and I really, really hope Rina keeps writing MM books because they freaking fuel my soul. Read more

Ich möchte diese Geschichte in mein Herz tätowieren und meine Seele füllen. Ein absolutes Jahreshighlight! Ich kann keine Stunde verbringen, ohne an Gereth und Kayden zu denken. Deren Geschichte ist unglaublich mitreißend und emotional aufwühlend, dass es mich komplett eingenommen hat. Im Moment weiß ich noch nicht, wie ich weitermachen soll und ich kann es nicht bis zu Hunt the Villain erwarten eine weitere MM Romance von Rina Kent. Read more

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Spice 🌶🌶🌶.5 Gareth and Kayden’s story completely consumed me. Gareth was nothing like I expected, and every layer of his character had me hooked. The banter between him and Kayden was top-tier, creating an electric tension that made this book impossible to put down. Both characters were toxic, obsessed, possessive, and filled with longing and angst. The chemistry between them was palpable, making their mutual obsession the perfect blend of crazy and compelling. The plot was gripping, and the connections between the characters were expertly woven. I loved how the timeline included moments from other books, especially God of Fury, making the story even more immersive. Seeing everything come together in this way was a treat. This is dark romance at its finest. Gareth and Kayden are twisted, toxic, sociopathic, and unapologetically politically incorrect. I loved every second of it. Rina Kent doesn’t hold back when it comes to writing villains, and that’s exactly what makes her books so addictive. One thing is certain make sure you READ THE TIGGER WARNINGS. The content is clearly stated, so there’s no excuse for complaints when it’s exactly what was promised. Now, I’m eagerly waiting for Hunt the Villain. Rina Kent has once again delivered a dark, captivating story, and I can’t wait for more!

I know this book has made some people mad—mostly because of Vaughn's book— and even hated the book, but i personally LOVED it. What a book! Rina does an amazing job with MM books. Loved God of Fury, so i knew she'd kill it with this one. And she didn't disappoint! Idk what people expected from Gareth, but he was amazing, idc. And so was Kayden! Ugh they're just so cute. Extremely toxic, but cute asf. I'm also really happy that we got more Kill & Glyn and Niko & Bran crumbs 🥹 they're my 2 favorite couples in the series so far (so is Eli and Ava!). This book just made me way more excited for Vaughn's book. Never really cared much about him, specially because we barely heard anything from him, but the way he was dragging Yulian in the initiation... 😮‍💨 that was hot!! Can't wait for their book, i just know i'm going to DEVOUR it. PS. The book itselft came printed awfully and by Amazon France? idk what's going on but i ended up getting a refund and got to keep the book. Still, that doesn't change my preview for it as is such an amazing book. If you loved God of Fury, you're gonna love this one! Read more

Their dynamic was so good it was insane, I'm OBSESSED! And I loved Gareth's character. His character was so complex and he really just wanted someone to see through his mask and still love him. I can relate to him and he is very special to me🥹 Read more
