By: Rina Kent

Narrated by: JF Harding, Evelyn Rose, Jason Clarke, Shane East, Faye Adele

From USA Today best-selling author Rina Kent comes a new stand-alone dark romance about a villain and his new obsession.

I caught the attention of a monster.

I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming.

But the moment I do, it’s too late.

Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.

The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.

I do.

And that will cost me everything.

I run, but the thing about monsters?

They always chase.

This book is a dark unconventional romance and contains themes that aren't to everyone's liking. Please check the author's note in the ebook for content warnings before listening.

Excellent Narration!

I was hesitant about listening to this book because of hearing that Rina Kent’s books can be pretty dark but I’m so happy that I finally gave in and tried my first Rinaverse book! The story was excellent and the narrators did an amazing job! And wow the spice between these two main characters was hot! Will definitely be continuing the series!!!

If you get past the narrator’s use of “baby” then 4/5

My first introduction to the world created by R. Kent. I thought I would try this series as background noise while tackling Christmas holiday chores, but I quickly found myself stopping those chores to focus on the unfolding events. This story does not ease you in. It pulls you in quickly and powerfully, pun intended, into a world of mafia bosses, dark college clichés, and virgin sacrifices.

Yes, some elements lean into familiar tropes, like the young inexperienced woman, but the cast of characters including Remy, Mia, Jeremy, and others makes the experience worthwhile. The story starts rough, then slowly simmers before reaching a full boil. I plan to continue the series just to stay immersed in this world.

I especially appreciated the inclusion of neurodivergent characters. That said, the narrator drove me a little crazy. I found myself grinding my teeth at every babe and the rough British accent. Push through that, hang on for the ride, and you will not regret it.
