I was on goodreads and I was curious so I checked

1- God of Fury: 4.49⭐️
2- Hunt the Villain: 4.45⭐️
3- Tempting Venom: 4.34⭐️
4- Heart of my Monster: 4.24⭐️
5- Lies of my Monster: 4.19⭐️
6- God of Wrath: 4.17⭐️
7- Blood of my Monster: 4.16⭐️
8- Reign of a King: 4.16⭐️
9- Empire of Lust: 4.14⭐️
10- Consumed by Deception: 4.13⭐️

Do you guys agree with this ranking? I was personally surprised Reign of a King made it there since this sub seems to hate Jonathan but I guess he is loved

I also love how the Morozovs make 50% of the list 🤭 and how Kirill and Sasha’s whole trilogy is here!

I noticed that Nicole had been talked about a lot this past few days and I noticed some things I would like to speak on.

1- Nicole and pity culture

I feel some of you people confuse pity for love

I noticed that every time I speak my truth not even in this sub but other social medias about Nicole I get dragged and called names because I don’t like Nicole because I have to love her because she was raped ? But I don’t have too I can pity her I can emphasize but I can still not like her.

My PERSONAL opinion

Nicoles redemption wasn’t doing it for me. She was always mean to Astrid and admitted in her book that it was because of a man (Daniel) because God forbid Daniel makes one real friend and love her platonically? She was jealous and had an “unhealthy obsession” as she called it and made it everyone’s problem. Even after she was raped she kept being a bitch until her and her mom were caught and she was forced to flee.

Then life humbled her she had her brother and she run out of money so in a sense I feel like she had no choice but to change to survive.

It’s a like someone saying they’re going on a diet when their fridge is empty ? Like you have no choice but to not eat even if you wanted too there’s nothing to eat.

Overall I don’t hate Nicole’s character but I don’t love her. I understand she went through a lot and sympathies with her but that’s it.

2- Nicole tried to rape Daniel that’s not up for discussion it’s a fact

I feel like a lot of people are delusional about what happened when it’s very clear again in my opinion those people are blinded by pity. When Astrid assumed that Nicole raped Daniel she was very right to think that with the infos she had because that’s what would’ve happened if not for a coincidence Nicole was very set on that.

Nicole plan was very clear and here are the proofs.

“Before I reach them, I stop at the beverages table and grab two shots. I pretend to be adjusting my dress, then reach into my bra and retrieve the small bag of pills I bought the last time Chloe took me to a club.”page 65

“I know what ecstasy does, or at least, I read about its effects and how it makes someone mindless with pleasure.
I wanted that.
Needed that.”page65

“One moment I’m standing there cursing myself for ruining the chance to give him the shot, and the next, he snatches one from between my fingers and downs it in one go.”page68

“Please tell me he didn’t see me put the pills in the drinks? I chose a corner on purpose.” Page 66
Please tell me that’s not someone guilty talking ? If she wasn’t doing anything wrong like some people claim why would she have this reaction?

And it’s not even like she backtracked and realized it wasn’t a good idea no! Her plan backfired when Daniel took the drinks. If it was up to Nicole alone she would’ve went on with her rape plan.

How is she any different than man that drug girls drink at bars?

3- The collective delusion and excuse making

I saw some girl talking about “she had a strong reason to be a bully” and respectfully this is a very dump thing to say. There’s no such thing as a reason to be a bully and even less a “strong” reason.
We all go through things in life it’s not a reason to make it other people’s problem ?

I don’t even understand how someone can have a such a reasoning. I would like to think that we are all grown here at least 18 so this doesn’t make sense. I don’t understand why they feel the need to defend and justify everything even the unjustifiable.

You can still love her and admit she was a bully the same way yall love Adrian Kirill Aiden etc without having to gaslight yourselves it’s okay it’s fiction.

I recently saw a TikTok of a girl expressing how frustrated she was that all the rk fmcs were the ones saying I love you first I taught it was a non issue and she was most likely doing to much because people love to hate on Rina for anything but than I decided to check since I was a little intrigued and here are my results:

Cruel King: Levi
Twisted Kingdom : Elsa
Black Knight: Kim
Vicious Prince: Teal
Ruthless Empire: Silver
Rise of a Queen: Aurora

All the truths : Reina
Throne of Vengeance : Rai
Black thorns: Naomi

Empire of desire : Nate
Empire of Sin: Anastasia
Empire of hate: Nicole
Empire of lust: Aspen

Deception trilogy : Lia
Monsters trilogy : Sasha

God of Malice: Killian
God of Pain: Creighton
God of Wrath: Cecily
God of Ruin: Mia
God of War: Ava

Beautiful venom : Dahlia
Sweet Venom: Jude

Turns out she was right because we have 17 from the fmcs and 5 for the mmcs the ratio is crazy 😂 to me it’s a non issue because they’re all obsessed with their partner we know that so idk the fact that they don’t say it first doesn’t really matter

While Preston was playing hard to get 80% of the book Miley knew from the moment she met Marcus he was the love of her life😂 poor baby was planning the wedding meanwhile the whole time her brother was her biggest opp a year later she’s still not over the betrayal

😂 Imagine Miley at 15 telling her friends that her brother married her first crush

That was just the cherry on top for me!

Because while reading that book and most specifically Preston’s pov I felt like some things weren’t adding up. The fact that I did not see coming that Lenin and Dr Duret were not real ? At least not until deep in the book than I started realizing that Preston was not really stable like I don’t know how to explain but I feel like even he didn’t know what he was thinking what was going on in his head or how to order his thoughts most of the time and I felt it. That was a good shot Rina!

And I felt the same with the deception trilogy and Lia’s POV like it was a mental game to be inside her head same for Preston.

I don’t know about you guys but I love it and I hope we get more characters like that I find it very interesting. I think Rina could have a future writing thrillers or like mind games / mind reader manipulation books with unreliable characters. One can dream

Oh Cyrus you are so loved by me😭 I already loved him in HTV because he was such a great friend to Yuli he even called Cyrus his brother from another mother I was very exited for his book now I am even more exited because wdym he went through ALL THAT? Bye I hope he puts a bullet through Andrew’s, Serena’s and all the other demons that helped do this to him heads! If they don’t die at the end of his book in going to be so mad because Rina killed off characters for less than that

Anyway I understand now why he was so protective of Yulian turns out he was traumatized too😭 imagine going through all that making it alive and ending up in another abusive household and having to watch the guy you consider your brother get beaten up on a daily basis?

A lot of things make sense now.

Crave the Villain : Cyrus story, him finding love and getting his HEA, Cyrus killing his bitchass family, VaughnYulian crumbs, KaydenGareth crumbs what more could I ask for ?🤭 March 2027 can’t come soon enough

I’m officially done with the Rinaverse!

Along the way I developed nicknames and refs with my friend for some of the mmcs and I thought I would share them

Not to be taken seriously it’s for fun!

Levi : Mental Hospital Director Against His Will

Aiden : Rapunzel

Xander: Aegon Targaryen
(because he was in love with Kim thinking she’s his sister😂 very Targaryen incest like)

Cole: Silver ender

Jonathan : Sisters Lover

Nate : Leonardo DiCaprio

Daniel : Blondes n1 hater

Adrian : Ramsey Bolton

Asher : Frank Gallagher

Killian : Jack the Ripper in the making

Creighton: 50Cents

Jeremy : Pick me choose me love mee

Landon : Regina George

Nikolai : Grace Ender

Brandon : Princess Diana

Eli: Choso

Vaughn : Nothing beats a jet2holiday! Private jet edition

Yulian : Never back down never what ?

Gareth : King Von

Kayden : Sincere (because he’s a liar iykyk)

If you have some feel free to share!

I feel like we haven’t read the same books or some people are just delusional.

I’ve been seeing lots of posts about Silver and Kim being real friends because their daughters are besties and leaving Elsa out like she wasn’t Kim only friend the only one that liked her and never switched up on her ?

I saw a girl talking about “it’s all Elsa’s fault if she wasn’t there Silver and Kim would’ve been friends in Hs” and all kind of nonsense.

Like did we forget that Silver was bullying Kim for years for some bullshit reason ? Way before Elsa came into the picture? If she wanted to be Kim’s friend she would’ve been her friend Elsa has nothing to do with it. I feel like Elsa haters come up with anything just to hate on Elsa.

They will never make me buy Silver and Kim’s friendship no matter how close their daughters are. Kim and Elsa are the real besties, Silver is just a reformed bully that had her man insert her in the group because he started dating her so Kim and Elsa Aiden and all the others had to be friendly. Mind you none of them liked her they were all childhood friends and she somehow managed to get each and every one of them not to like her.

What did she even tell Kim ? “I’m sorry but I didn’t want my mom to harm you so I decided to harm you and bully you instead”?

Kimmy you’re so much better than me you have a special place in my heart my sweet princess❤️because I could never!

Because what do you mean you’re driving this poor girl crazy and you’re keeping her hostage ? She literally can’t go outside and she has to beg him. She’s basically in a prison atp even a prison would’ve been better.

This is basically how their story went

- Adrian comes into her life

- Starts fucking her while he’s expected to marry someone else

- Plans to baby trap her but didn’t get the chance to make good on his plan since she already got pregnant

- Forces her to keep the baby basically baby trapped her

- While she just lost her carrier and is traumatized he forced her to marry him and lock her in his house

- Atp she’s not even a person with free will anymore Adrian decides what she does what she says the people she talks to the friend she has where she goes (lol she’s not going anywhere she’s stuck in the house)

- Then she still defended him and killed that guy for him and that broke her because she’s not a killer.

- He was still driving the poor girl crazy for 5 whole years while he knew something was wrong that’s mind blowing to me! Every day same as the other she spiraling for the whole day and than at night they indulge in some questionable sex (I didn’t really get it I think she didn’t want to but couldn’t help her reaction so she decided not to let him hear her ? Whatever).

- The same day over and over and over for years at the end she couldn’t even take care of her kid anymore she was basically a ghost AND STILL Adrian kept this torture going until Lia decided to end her life because she couldn’t take it anymore.

AND PEOPLE COMPARE HIM TO KIRILL? Talking about best rk man omg I agree the writing is good and complex and all that but Adrian ? To me he’s the worst

Imprisonment: the state of being confined in a prison or otherwise deprived of one's freedom by legal authority.

Sorry not sorry that’s basically what Adrian did to her. And I can say that that’s what triggered me the most.

Now I kind of liked the last book of the trilogy I feel like it got better but to me a book can’t save a whole trilogy what Adrian did during the first 2 books is basically torture.

This series should’ve been a thriller because it was horrifying or at least Rina could’ve used that plot for a thriller and the guy dies at the end.

And I see people hating on Daniel, Kyle, Gareth, Killian, Aiden when Adrian is right here ? Sorry but to me that’s crazy
