Reviews with content warning for Physical abuse - God of Ruin

Horrible book. The writing is mediocre and a complete replica of the rest of the books in the series. Apart from the main character, the rest of the characters are predictable and hard to love. Slow paced because some of the internal monologues (especially Landon's) are incredibly repetitive to the point where it gets boring. The plot in of itself is not only repetitive but predictable and unentertaining, the only contrast is Mia's backstory which adds interst to the story. The ending left much to be desired, it felt rushed and, in my opinion, was not thoroughly resolved. Honestly, we know what we sign up for when we read a smut book like this, but this book doesn't even meet those standards. This felt like a complete copy paste of the rest of the series, incredibly underwhelming and overall boring.

Landon is my least favorite MMC in this series.
He really is an insufferable unbearable character.
His story looks like a bit as Jeremy (God of Wrath) and I found many repetition a bit annoying regarding his character, as if there were nothing else to say about him.
Mia is an interesting character, fierce and strong despite her story… but again she has too similar characteristics with Cecily (God of Wrath).
Unfortunately the comparison with the previous book is to the detriment of this one.

I really do love the side characters though like Niko, Remy and Bran (as always).

The audiobook is narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright and Shane East.
It is a duet narration and it was perfect.
I think I won’t recover from Shane’s whisperings, anytime soon

This is probably my least favorite of the series so far. Which I was expecting, but it is still a good book.

As expected I still didn't like Landon all that much. He's still not my favorite character in the world. But I did like him and Mia together.

I love that he was willing to see things from her perspective and to try learning empathy for her. And I love that he helped her find her voice after the traumatic experience from her childhood. And I loved how much stronger Mia became and how she came more into herself with him.

I'm excited to get into God of Fury next and to finally get Brandon and Nikolai's story after all the teasers of them featured in the previous books.

I started reading this book because I wanted something light and somewhat entertaining that I could read during exam season, something I could read and immediately forget about - and it was exactly that.
I was a bit skeptical about the whole ‘psychopath’ part and how the author will turn him into a lovable character without stopping to be logical (I’m over clinical psychopaths who suddenly have feelings and are totally "normal" after finding ‘that girl’ - that’s not how psychopaths work folks)
That was quite nicely done.
However, it did remind me of the Wattpad books I used to read at 14 with passages of descriptions (I started skipping them quite soon into the books).
Her character development did disappoint me too: from being all tough and badass to turning to sweet and lovely far too soon.
And the virgin plot line is really starting to bore me …

All in all, I got what I wanted out of the book and was quite amused by some of the banter.
