Sooooooo I don’t think Creighton is better than Killian…
but at least his book was…

𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨:
It’s a little hard to explain what this book is about because the whole plot revolves around Creighton and Annika trying to navigate the turbulent waters of what their relationship would be and how it would work out, given who their families are. Annika is a Mafia princess and started university early at 17 to see if she would like it more than being a ballerina. When allowed to by her overprotective brother, she rooms with a bunch of girls (who all happen to be the FMCs of the Legacy of the Gods series). However, the one certain thing is that her father will eventually arrange her marriage to someone who will strengthen his connections in the Mafia... unless she can find someone to fall in love with. Her mother has said she won’t force her to marry someone if she is in love with someone else. In steps Creighton, who happens to tag along whenever the girls hang out basically, and all Annika wants to do is chip through his hard exterior, get him to smile and speak to her. But underneath it all, Creighton has a dark, twisted past that has shaped him into the man he is today... and all he wants is revenge on the person who made him this way...

Annika was pretty annoying at times, and I’m not sure if it was because she was 17, because she was so preppy and bubbly, or if she was just too stupid to live at times. She puts herself into idiotic situations, and for someone who is meant to be quite intelligent, it got a little annoying. I still preferred her to Glyndon, though. I did like that she matured quite a bit through the progression of the book. I also love that she’s such a believer and so steadfast in her morals and beliefs. She stands up for what she believes in, and nothing and nobody, not even the threat of death, is going to persuade her otherwise. I like that she stood up for who she was and what she wanted, and challenged some very dangerous men in her life to get it.

Creighton is the silent observer of the group. He sleeps 90% of the time, eats 5% of the time, and makes grunting noises the remainder of the time. He is scary and sadistic (And I mean that LITERALLY because I did not expect him to be into BDSM... with a mindset of wanting to break Annika and then give her ridiculous pleasure BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHO HE IS). He is cold and empty, with a thirst for revenge on the demons that took away his innocence when he was a little boy left for dead. He has a darkness that makes him absolutely terrifying, and he is very guarded; honestly, not letting anybody in to see who he is underneath that exterior—except Annika eventually. He is everything you hope for and dream of when you imagine someone who is obsessive and possessive, taking "touch-her-and-you-die" to a whole new level. He goes absolutely feral if anything threatens to take away what’s his. He is super jealous of any other males Annika gives attention to, (because what is his, is his) and when he says something is mine, nothing can stand in his way.

The plot was ridiculous, full of drama, action, and plot twists that I didn’t see coming, with a lot more spiciness than I expected compared to God of Wrath. I liked the presence of the other characters, and I think this one has solidified my desire to continue in the Legacy of Gods series, to see what’s going on with Jeremy and see what happens with Eli and Ava... and generally see what other ridiculous and unbelievable things these "basically-kids" get up to.

I don’t think this was perfect—it was frustrating, with the push and pull and the overdramatic reactions to their almost "Romeo and Juliet" story due to the conflicting families and rivalries—but I still loved the experience of reading it. I can see why people are obsessed with this series.
