It’s Beautiful Venom’s Day! 🏒🖤 Happy release day to Dahlia, Kane, and this new chapter of the #Rinaverse.

Here we go! Kiss the Villain is officially turning into a full series of interconnected standalones! 🎉 The Villain Series will be a Legacy of Gods spinoff featuring male x male couples. The entire series' print editions will be published by Bloom in North America and Penguin UK/Evermore in the UK, Europe, and Australia. ⚠️ Due to this, the currently published Kiss the Villain paperbacks will be unpublished on April 9, so this is your last chance to grab them! (This doesn’t affect the eBook or audiobook.) Listen, this was only supposed to be one book, but my muse had other plans. While writing Gareth and Kayden, two other couples decided to crash the party. Vaughn, for instance, was never supposed to get a book since he didn’t speak to me. Then he met Yulian, and suddenly, they were yelling at me with full-blown chemistry. So I was like 👀 “Okay then. Let’s do this.” More Info: ✨ Kiss the Villain will be re-released in bookstores worldwide on August 26, 2025. ✨ The North American version will include a deluxe and exclusive edition (More details coming tomorrow!) ✨ Both Kiss the Villain and Hunt the Villain trad paperbacks are available for pre-order now. ✨ Hunt the Villain will release on March 24, 2026. ✨ Crave the Villain is expected to be released in 2027. You’ll meet this book’s couple in Hunt the Villain. ✨ The eBook editions will be in Kindle Unlimited worldwide. Let the villain era continue 💚 #rinakent #rinaverse #legacyofgods #BookTok

🏒 Blurb 🏒 Can I outrun his merciless obsession? I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder. I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind. But my plan backfired, and my life spiraled downward. Now, I’m the target of cold-blooded revenge. Jude Callahan isn’t just a hockey god—he’s a devil no one dares to cross. My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career choice. And he’s set out to make me pay for that moment of silence. No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows. Like a predator. I thought he’d stop at the stalking. Or even better, he’d kill me and finally end my misery. But Jude has other plans. He says I can’t die. I have to pay for my sins. And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming. 🏒 More Info 🏒 ✨ Sweet Venom releases in all formats on December 2, 2025 ✨ eBook & paperback are available for pre-order now ✨ Deluxe North American Editions (first print run) will feature foil title, filigree-printed edges, and couple artwork tip-ins (exclusive to each edition!) ✨ Retailer Exclusive Editions: •Barnes & Noble: Black alternate cover, foil title, designed edge, inner cover design, couple artwork tip-in P.S You can use BLOOM25 on Barnes & Noble to get 25% off. •Target: Teal alternate cover, spot gloss title, designed edge, couple artwork tip-in (Note: Each edition features different artwork) ✨ All cover stickers are removable. ✨ Please note that these editions might not appear immediately on online platforms.

Thank you so much for all the love you've shown the Legacy of Gods series' traditional re-release. I started this series without many expectations, but it ended up changing my life in the truest sense of the word. Through this series, I've hit the New York Times list three times, the USA Today multiple times, and Kindle #1 bestseller. The love you’ve shown this series is beyond inspiring 😭 Being an author isn't always easy. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes-thinking, doubting, revising, reading and rereading. It takes a whole team of editors, proofreaders, beta readers, and publishers to bring a book to life. It can be draining, but it's also one of the most rewarding things l've ever done. When I started writing, I never imagined having this kind of readership. Every time you pick up one of my books, I feel lucky, humbled, and deeply honored 🥹🩷 To hit #3 on the New York Times and #5 on USA Today for a re-release is a special kind of honor. Thank you for being a part of this journey 😘🩷 Special thank you to my publisher, Bloom, and my wonderful agent Kimberly. Happy Bestseller Day to Eli, Ava, and to everyone who's loved them 🩷 #rinakent #rinaverse #legacyofgods

The way I was speechless writing this man 🫠 #rinakent #rinaverse #darkromance #vipersseries

When I tell you the tension in this book is off the charts, I mean it 🔥 When I started writing Beautiful Venom and the Vipers series, I was having a blast. Maybe because this is a new chapter in the #Rinaverse. Maybe it’s because I’m writing about completely different characters that I was getting to know. I had them abstract in my head for so long and when they were about to be translated into writing, they spilled on the page in all of their intense glory and I loved every second of it 🖤 I can’t wait for you to experience them and feel the same things I did when I wrote them. Roll on, May 27th ⏳ #rinakent #vipersseries #BookTok
