“God of Pain” by Rina Kent

5/5⭐️

5/5🥵

Finished “God of Pain” by Rina Kent on 8/15/2025. God of Pain is the 2nd book in the Legacy of Gods series, while each book is considered stand-alone, i love that we get to see the stories of all the characters in this series. This story line was so good. I love Annika and Creighton together! They way there stories collide together is so good and so sad at the same time, ill-fated love. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series! #rinakent #legacyofgods #godofpain #booktok #darkeomanceseries
