An elite college hockey team that rules the ice—and the shadows beyond it.

To infiltrate their secret society, I set my sights on their weakest link.

Kane Davenport.

The charismatic captain and the lone green flag in a nest of serpents.

But too late, I realize I’ve enticed the most venomous snake.

A monster who lured me in only to trap me in a lethal game with no escape.

OBSESSED

Rina Kent giving us a dark hockey romance….YES PLEASE! And I devoured this book like it was my job. Dahlia is on a mission to find out who attacked her sister…but in order to get these answers, she is determined to infiltrate Vencor, a secret society. After Kane discovers her on a little stake out, she decides that he might be her best option to get answers. The twists in this book will have you turning pages to figure out what would happen next! If I had to pick a couple words to describe Dahlia & Kane, they would be scorching hot! The chemistry and banter is literally chef’s kiss! I absolutely love them to pieces!

Narrated in duet by Corvin King and Michelle Sparks - they both did a phenomenal job with this book! They both were perfect as Kane and Dahlia! I literally did not want to stop listening to it and it was so freaking good!

Kane has dethroned Eli!

OH my freaking hockey stars! Words cannot express how OBSESSED I am with Kane Davenport. And the fact that Corvin King narrated this character? Chef's kiss! Eli, sorry my man, you have been dethroned. Beautiful Venom is intense from the first page and until the last one and honestly, has me salivating for more within this world. It is passionate, intense, questionable and OH so spicy. While Kane can bring the cold, Dahlia brings the heat to melt him. The way these two clash off of each other leaves you cheering for every interaction between them.
The story that is threaded within this world and about Vencor, is classic Kent. Mysterious, but all knowing. Gritty yet somehow sweet at moments with the guys. Not just with Kane either, but with Jude and Preston as well. They add so many different layers and leave you begging to know more about them and Vencor as a whole. Kane is a very complex character and watching his growth in this story has you swooning for him. Dahlia is such a fighter. What started out as her wanting answers turns into a rabbit hole of twisty moments, fighting Kane but in the hottest ways and so much more. She gives as good as she gets and she fights tooth and nail for who she loves. Michelle Sparks gives such a great performance as Dahlia too! She 100% gives you all the feels during the whole book.
Overall, I really lived for this book. Honestly devoured it from start to finish devoured the audio in a day and I am still reeling! Kent delivered with this book and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this series will bring to the table. If it is anything like Beautiful Venom, we are in for one WILD ride that no one will want to get off of!

Dark Romance Girlies!

I’ve heard so much about RK books so I finally decided to pick one up. I’m not usually a dark romance girlie but whew… this one had me blushing 🥵

Dahlia is out to find out what happened to put her sister in a coma. She has her sights set on the exclusive secret society that the school hockey team is a part of. She sets out to infiltrate the society by involving herself with Kane Davenport, the hockey captain of the Vipers. Dahlia is such a strong and sassy FMC. Kane is a complex character—he is calm, cool, and collected on the outside, with a fire raging on the inside. He has so many sides and gives a true definition to “touch her and d!e”.

Not only are Dahlia and Kane great characters, I also loved Jude and Preston. I cannot wait to continue this series to get their stories!

The narration by Corvin King and Michelle Sparks was phenomenal. This was my first time listening to them both and they sound so good together!

This audiobook was a MASTERPIECE!!!

Rina’s audios always make me feel like I’m watching a movie fr! Corvin King as Kane Davenport was an actual dreammm omg!!! His voice is so deep and powerful o could *and did* listen for hours. Michelle Sparks absolutely slayed her part as Dahlia Thorne, you could hear the sassiness and rawness of Dahlia’s character and I fell in love honestly.

I loved this book SO much. Dahlia was such a bad*** and I loved her “I have nothing left to lose so BRING IT ON MFS” attitude hehe that’s my girllll

and Kane??? agh I just knowww that if he had been raised by better parents that man would be the cutest golden retriever bf like hello??? the way he’d cook for Jude, Preston and Dahlia was adorable. his love language fr

rina in her hockey era was so iconic. Dahlia the troll had me CACKLINGGGGG 💀💀 and I can’t mf wait for Jude and Preston’s books oh mY GOD I NEED THEM BADDDD

Enjoyable

My first Rina Kent book. Love the narrators, story was not totally unoriginal but the chemistry between the MMC/FMC was decent enough. Over all, worth the credit.
