Tuesday Reviews: God of War by Rina Kent

 

I fell for the villain.
It happened back when I was a clueless girl.
But he ruthlessly broke my heart and trapped it in a jar.
Since then, I’ve sworn to hate him to the end of my days.
Eli King might be a savage devil, but I’m out of his way. And league.
That is until I wake up in a hospital and find him holding my hand.
He tells me the words that change my life forever.
“We got married two years ago, Mrs. King.”
So I set out to investigate how I landed myself into this marriage.
Turns out, my memories are darker than my present.
I thought I was ready for the hurricane.
I thought I could handle his soulless eyes and cold shoulder.
I thought wrong.
Nothing can stop my husband.
Not the secrets surrounding us.
Not the hatred between us.
Not even me.

I had been captivated by Eli King since the epilogue, where at six years old, he kissed Ava upon first meeting her as a baby. The anticipation for Eli and Ava’s story was well worth it—I devoured every page. While I've loved all the books in the series, this one and this couple are by far my favorite. Throughout the series, we sensed a history between Eli and Ava, with Ava having fallen for Eli before something caused her to start avoiding him. Their journey together was deeply emotional, and my heart broke for both of them. Without giving away spoilers, this enemies-to-lovers tale was unlike any other I've read, with its unique twists and turns. The story was riveting, filled with heartfelt moments and heartbreaking revelations, featuring characters and relationships that were wonderfully complex. The epilogue was the perfect conclusion, leaving me satisfied yet melancholy to bid farewell to these beloved characters. I know I'll be revisiting this series, perhaps through rereads and audiobooks, to relive their unforgettable journey.
