This is not a story about a hero, or some bad boy-badass-antihero.
This is a love story between two monstrous villains and one valiant kid, held together by their entwined heartstrings.
It won’t be pretty.
It won’t be pleasant.
There’s no fluffy good feelings about it.
It will rip out your heart and never give it back.

Breno Hades el Oscuro took no bullshit from anyone. He ruled the crime world of the United States. When the King fell, what was left in the ashes was not the small boy who grew up without his father, not the same kid that chose a life of crime at seventeen, nor was it the King who had killed and clawed through a river of blood to stand at the top.

The King was dragged from his throne of bones into a deep dark pit, leaving only the raw flesh of a savage monster to crawl out of Hell.
One that knew love, but didn’t want it again.

Kemono Orochi was destined to inherit the legacy of his father, known as The Dragon’s Tongue. It was an inheritance he never wanted it, never desiring the power that came with the title of Dragon. Kemono ended it all by tearing off the Dragon’s head, watching the serpent’s remains be consumed in hellfire. Now tormented by the scars of his past inflicted by his father, he is struggling to come to terms with the Akuma he has become.

One that wants to devour everyone in his path to protect the only one that matters to him.

The only person that had ever made his icy heart beat.

His heart. His love. His beautiful pride.

Rex Hunter dreams of becoming a principal ballerino…all fierce, like a Phoenix. But this Phoenix has lost his wings and fallen prey, straight into the clutched claws and callus hands of two vicious beasts. Each bore the blackest of hearts, each desiring to keep him safe, cherished and loved unconditionally. Or was Rex just destined to be the goo that would stick two shattered souls together and prevent them from forever falling to pieces?

There will be blood, gore and nasty shit.

There will be watersports, crude, angry, sometimes sensual and other times just downright dirty and dysfunctional sex.

BUT…

There will always be LOVE…

Because even villains understand the tortured scars love leaves in her wake.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the second book in Of Gods and Monsters. Before I start I will say I did not read the first book so at times I was confused. But I will read it. This book is not a romantic book. It’s raw, gritty, intense and powerful. Hades was bad ass to the core. But then again he had to be given the circumstances.

This story has its brutal moments with Hades in prison and jacked up on steroids, forced to fight to the death until he gets out and meets sweet Rex. After having lost his love to another man, Hades had sworn off giving his heart to another. He of course fights his feelings for Rex.

Their relationship I would describe as explosive as it had its tender moments which were rare to intense. There is so much going on from them meeting to the Russian drug cartel taking out all others in their wake to corrupt cops turning their heads.

One of the things I liked best about this book was how you could feel what the characters felt from their love to their hate. Though some scenes in the book had me cringing it was still a fantastic story that had me riveted and wanting to know more the further I read.
