Blood of My Monster: A Dark Mafia Romance (Monster Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Rina Kent (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 14,081 ratings
Best of #BookTok
From New York Times Bestseller and BookTok sensation Rina Kent comes a thrilling mafia romance with Mulan vibes.

I’m out for revenge. He’s out to rule the world.
Kirill and I are as different as day and night.
We shouldn’t have been in the same frame or universe.
But we meet under the strangest circumstances.
He’s my superior in the military and the man who’ll introduce me to carnage.
His charm and exterior perfection shouldn’t have tempted me.
Behind the smokescreen lurks a manipulative emotionless monster.
And that monster might find out all my secrets, including the reason why I’m pretending to be a man.
He might also lure me to the point of no return.

This book is part one of a trilogy.

    I appreciate Rina Kent's writing. This book did not disappoint. The action and suspense were excellent. I enjoyed the storyline and characters. This plot has many twists and turns.

    Sasha is a strong and capable female protagonist who shoulders significant responsibility after her family is killed. She seeks revenge, but the identity of the perpetrator remains unknown.

    Kirill is currently serving in the Russian military, but his family's involvement with the Bratva necessitates his taking over the family business, a prospect he is ambivalent about.

    Blood of My Monster is book 1 in the Monster Trilogy, which follows Kirill and Sasha's story. This book ends in a cliffhanger. This book concentrate on the main characters' back stories as well as how they met. This book is definitely slow burn. Kirill and Sasha's banter are hilarious. The side characters are funny as well! The first half of the book happened in Russia and then they went to New York. Kirill is part of the Bratva in New York. Sasha became Kirill's bodyguard.

    Favorite scenes:
    :: When they were at the village.
    :: The aftermath from Damien punching Sasha.
    :: The sauna - this was 🥵🥵🥵

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag of Russian Flair and Character Flip-Flops
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    So, I just finished "Blood of My Monster," and let me tell you, as a Russian, this book hit close to home. The cultural elements are spot-on, and it's like getting a slice of my own heritage in literature. The characters are what really drew me in. Their interactions are full of life, and you can feel the tension, the love, and the drama.

    The plot? It's a rollercoaster. There's this intricate web of family secrets, power struggles, and a dash of romance that keeps you flipping the pages. But then there's Kirill. At the start, he's this charming, almost noble character. I was rooting for him, but once he dives into the murky waters of the family business, his personality takes a nosedive. He becomes this cold, calculating figure, and it's hard to reconcile that with the guy we met at the beginning. I was left scratching my head, trying to understand his true nature.

    And about the romance - there's definitely a spark between the characters, that's undeniable. They're drawn to each other like magnets, but the emotional depth? It feels a bit surface-level. I was hoping for more exploration of their bond beyond the initial attraction.

    Overall, while the setting and the premise are compelling, the character development, especially Kirill's, left me wanting more. I'll pick up the next book because I'm curious to see where this all goes, but if I’m being honest, this first one didn't blow me away. It’s a good read, but not a game-changer.

    Rina Kent is a new-to-me author, and I can honestly say I’m completely blown away. This trilogy was my first taste of her writing, and I’m already hooked. Her storytelling is masterful—filled with intricate connections between characters and storylines that span across her books. The twists and turns had me constantly guessing, and not once did I feel bored. If this is what her other books are like, I’m in for an incredible reading journey.
    Kirill and Sasha’s story was the perfect introduction to her work. From the very first page, I couldn’t put it down. I’m so glad I waited until the trilogy was complete because those cliffhangers in books 1 and 2 would have been too much to handle! Kirill was everything you’d want in a mafia hero—possessive, obsessive, and completely devoted to Sasha. His monologues had me laughing out loud at times, showing a side of him I didn’t expect. The story had it all: intense military and mafia action, a found family element, the one-bed trope, heartfelt groveling, and those unforgettable “That’s my wife!” moments that melted my heart.
    While there was a lot of miscommunication between Kirill and Sasha, their reasons for holding back made sense, and it only made their eventual reunion more satisfying. By book 3, we got to see a completely different side of Kirill as he stopped at nothing to win Sasha back. His intensity didn’t waver, but his softer, more vulnerable side shone through beautifully. The ending left me feeling so fulfilled—seeing Sasha finally embrace her true self and Kirill reveal the depth of his love was everything I could’ve hoped for.

    I can’t wait to get stuck into more of her books this year!

    I already knew this couple from the other books, it's obvious that I was very curious about them,
    but when rina announced it i wasn't so excited as i really wanted the continuation of LEGACYS OF GODS.

    But today I see how much I needed to meet this couple that has already entered my heart.
    what amazing characters they are everything

    Sasha, her story, her personality, her strength, I did cry with her. I'm in love with her and every moment of her, her fragility and strength, how she's determined and fights for the ones she loves, even the way she's helping Kirill's family and how she's very protective of him.

    Kirill my god what a man what a man i have no words to write he is imperfect the way i love.

    A fact about me I hate when there is a lot of fluff in the book but with this book I just wanted to know more and more about him knowing his plans and I still need more and I'm glad it's a trilogy.

    I listened to the audio book and followed through the book and my god it's a work of art sebastian and brooke's work.

    I felt like I was in a movie, in fact I feel that in the future this book can become a movie, because the story is incredible.
    I liked that they didn't fall in love on the first date.

    The story is amazing and I loved the mystery and I'm dying to find out

    hot scenes: perfect
    Perfect chemistry
    jealousy scenes my god what perfection
    Favorite scene: Kiril asking her to stay

    AND THE FINAL OMG WHAT A FINAL, RINA KENT WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME

    and I didn't even talk about the secondary characters who are amazing and I already want to book them all
    When Adrian, Rai and Damien appeared I screamed with emotion
