Here is a review of “Lies of My Monster” by Rina Kent, the second book in her Monster Trilogy:
Title: A Thrilling Continuation of Kirill and Sasha’s Dark and Twisted Story
In “Lies of My Monster,” Rina Kent expertly builds upon the dark, seductive world she introduced in the first book of her Monster Trilogy. This second installment continues the twisted and captivating story of Kirill, the ruthless mafia boss, and Sasha, the woman who infiltrated his world disguised as a man.
Kent’s writing remains as atmospheric and immersive as ever, plunging the reader back into the gritty, dangerous universe of secrets, lies, and power plays. The stakes are higher than ever as Sasha’s true identity is revealed, and the complex web of deceit and manipulation surrounding both characters begins to unravel.
The dynamic between Kirill and Sasha remains the heart of the story, and Kent expertly navigates the shifting power dynamics and intense emotional connection between them. With Sasha’s secret exposed, the relationship takes on new dimensions of vulnerability, trust, and obsession. Kent’s exploration of these themes is both thrilling and psychologically astute, keeping the reader engaged and invested in the characters’ fates.
Kirill’s character continues to be a standout, a perfect blend of charisma, ruthlessness, and unexpected vulnerability. Kent peels back more layers of his past and psyche, revealing new depths to this compelling and enigmatic figure. Sasha, too, undergoes significant growth and change, grappling with the consequences of her actions and the intensity of her feelings for Kirill.
One of the strengths of “Lies of My Monster” is the way it expands and deepens the world introduced in the first book. Kent introduces new characters and plot twists that raise the stakes and keep the reader guessing. The pacing is relentless, with each chapter leaving the reader hungry for more.
The audiobook performance by Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels continues to be outstanding, capturing the intensity, passion, and emotional depth of Kent’s writing. Their performances are a perfect match for the dark, seductive tone of the story.
It’s worth noting that, as with the first book, “Lies of My Monster” ends on a cliffhanger that sets the stage for the final installment of the trilogy. While this may be frustrating for some readers, it’s a testament to Kent’s skill as a storyteller, leaving the reader desperate to know how Kirill and Sasha’s story will conclude.
Overall, “Lies of My Monster” is a must-read for fans of dark romance, mafia stories, and complex, psychologically rich characters. With its sizzling chemistry, high stakes, and masterful storytelling, this book is a thrilling continuation of Rina Kent’s addictive Monster Trilogy.
