Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Rina Kent comes a new dark mafia romance.

I’m out for revenge. He’s out to rule the world.

Kirill and I are as different as day and night. We shouldn’t have been in the same frame or universe.

But we meet under the strangest circumstances.

He’s my superior in the military and the man who’ll introduce me to carnage.

His charm and exterior perfection shouldn’t have tempted me.

Behind the smokescreen lurks a manipulative emotionless monster.

And that monster might find out all my secrets, including the reason why I’m pretending to be a man.

He might also lure me to the point of no return.

This book is part of a trilogy and can't be listened to on its own.

Oh my gosh!!

That ending!! I literally gasped when I realized what happened!!
A mafia romance with a spin on Mulan has me intrigued and this one was very interesting and spicy!
It is a slow burn romance, but my gosh-the scenes were very spicy.
The audiobook is dual narrated by Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels. I absolutely love Sebastian's voice! His voice is just amazing!! Brooke did a wonderful job portraying Sasha.
Now, I did have to suspend belief several times while reading this book. So many instances I thought to myself, no way. But the narrators kept me engaged and I kept listening till the very end with that insane ending. Well played.

Awesome Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Intense!

Rina Kent blows me away with an amazing start to her “Monster” trilogy, a new dark mafia romance. The story grabbed my attention immediately and held it hostage the entire book. Sasha was sixteen when her family was brutally murdered and she was making it her life's mission to avenge their death. Following leads and her uncle’s help and recommendations, she joins the military posing as a man and is hoping to find out who ordered that hit on her family. It hadn’t been easy for her and when her Captain saved her from some Russian brutes in her unit, he winds up taking her under his wing to train. No one could say that Kirill is a nice guy, he is cold, hard and calculating, but he needs to be that to survive in his world. He was also on to Sasha, but kept it to himself because she intrigued him and wanted to know what she was up to and what her deal was. When she recognizes someone from her past and it turns out to be Kirill’s father, she puts two and two together and she needs to stay close to Kirill. Seems like these two believe in keeping their enemies closer, or at least keeping an eye on them, just in case. A botched mission winds up bringing them closer together and when he is summoned to return to New York, he asks for volunteers and takes his best men with him. Sasha wanted to join them too, and he was on board with that. Kirill is next in line to takeover his father’s reign, and his father did not want his brother to do, but that does not stop family members from attempting a power play. Kirill is a smart and cunning man and expected this and had his power plays planned. There is never a dull moment in this book, it is a well-written and cleverly plotted story with plenty of drama, angst, action, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn romance. Rina Kent, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. And wow, what an ending, a real heart pounder, I am looking forward to what happens next for Kirill and Sasha.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration. Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels were the perfect cast to bring these characters, and they outdid themselves with their portrayal of them. Their character voices and performances were top-notch, as was the quality of the audio. York’s take on Kirill was perfection, grasping all sides of his personality, his dominating alphatude and his intensity. Daniels’ did the same for Sasha, grasping all sides of her personality too, including her strength and determination, as well as her inquisitive ways, and her deepening her female voice could not have been an effortless task but she nailed it. They set the perfect tone for the story and captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Good story, narration off

Really love this author and previous audiobooks but the narration really tanked this for me. Female narrator is wooden, male better but still not what her other books are unfortunately.

This one lays down the foundation.

Going in knowing that this was going to be a trilogy, I knew the first book was going to lay down the foundation. I wasn't sure what we were going to get, but I was excited to get back into Rina's mafia world.

It wasn't quite what I was expecting, the romance was fairly low to me and I couldn't quite connect with their relationship. But then again, it's still only the first book, so we still have plenty to go through and hopefully a deeper connection as we go along.

There's a lot of secrets being held in this one and I can't wait to unravel everything in the next couple of books. I'm definitely invested even though this didn't reach out to me like her previous books have.

Narrators: I think the major thing that got to me was the narration. Even though I've enjoyed Sebastián York in her previous books, it didn't quite match for me in this one. Not who I imagined for Kirill. And Brooke Daniels, it was okay for this one, but wasn't quite my first choice. I did like the duet style, this was actually my first listening to one this way.

Dark Mafia Romance

Blood of My Monster by Rina Kent is a dark mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels. This is the first book in the Monster Trilogy.

I love Rina's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story and making me fall in love with the characters. I am loving the chemistry between Kirill and Sasha. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Lies of My Monster to be released on March 2, 2023, so I can get more of their story.

Sebastian and Brooke did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, mafia romances, or military romances.

Love a Duet !!!

I love Rina Kent so much!! Anything she writes I'll read....and this was so good. The alpha male and his possessiveness to this strong fmc is so good. The suspense is so well written and that cliffhanger!!!! I love her mafia romance and thought that Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels were so good for these two. Will be reading the second book.

Enjoyed it

Sasha is masquerading as a man in the army, with the intention of avenging her family. Her military leader is Kirill, and while on a mission together, Sasha is injured and it’s revealed to Kirill that Sasha has been hiding her true gender all along. He feels conflicted though he’s adamant at bringing them to safety. Through some forced proximity situations, Sasha and Kirill have to figure out the threat against them and keep each other safe.

The narration was good, and I enjoyed Sebastian York and Brooke Daniels, who is new to me. They provided engaging narration and made this book a lot more lively.
