I can’t do this to myself anymore. I've read the entire Rina Kent universe and these were the last two books I hadn't read yet, so I wanted to give them another chance as I couldn't even get halfway through the first time. At least now I'm sure I'll never read them because I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at what was happening here.
So what exactly went wrong here for me?
Asher Carson. I couldn't find this guy hot and mysterious at all. Every time he appeared, I wanted to laugh. Correction, it actually happened several times. Especially when Reina described him in aviators.
It’s random, but he reminded me of Pitbull then. It ruined the whole book for me.
Also, I couldn't stop laughing every time she described him, like here.
Majestic? Girl, please. He is a college boy with daddy’s money, who thinks he is a god or something.
Not her comparing the color of the car to his soul. Are we back on wattpad?
How can you know how the darkness of the night smells? Girl please. I’m begging you. He is just a man.
Don’t get me started on the way he talked to her.
He had some weird, questionable obsession with putting his fingers in her mouth. I didn't even get halfway through the book and he did it twice. Randomly. I can't even imagine what he touched before he did this to her. The first time he did it, he was in the hospital with her. The bacteries on him *shudders*
The last thing.
As Hitler? With a tendency for craziness?? Craziness?!?
This is the worst comparison I've ever read in my life. This was supposed to be funny? He murdered millions of people. Rina, please read some history books before writing something like that.
As you can see, I'm definitely not going to read the sequel.

"As usual, the aviators sit on his arrogant nose like they’re a part of his face."
It’s random, but he reminded me of Pitbull then. It ruined the whole book for me.
Also, I couldn't stop laughing every time she described him, like here.
"He steps out of the house, wearing dark jeans and a gray T-shirt. The clothes are nothing special, but on him, they appear elegant, majestic even."
Majestic? Girl, please. He is a college boy with daddy’s money, who thinks he is a god or something.
"He heads for the Mustang parked out front—of course an asshole drives such a beautiful car. It’s black, too, like his soul."
Not her comparing the color of the car to his soul. Are we back on wattpad?
"He smells of fresh laundry right out of the dryer, but also of the darkness of the night."
How can you know how the darkness of the night smells? Girl please. I’m begging you. He is just a man.
Don’t get me started on the way he talked to her.
“Shhh. Don’t talk. When I speak, you listen. When I order, you obey. Now, open that fucking mouth.”
He had some weird, questionable obsession with putting his fingers in her mouth. I didn't even get halfway through the book and he did it twice. Randomly. I can't even imagine what he touched before he did this to her. The first time he did it, he was in the hospital with her. The bacteries on him *shudders*
The last thing.
"God, I feel as evil as Hitler."
"Wait, maybe I was Hitler in a previous life. After all, we’re both dictators with a tendency for craziness."

This is the worst comparison I've ever read in my life. This was supposed to be funny? He murdered millions of people. Rina, please read some history books before writing something like that.

Amazing from start to finish!
This was like no other amnesia romance book I have ever read. It was that and so much more. There were so many secrets, mysteries and lies. The reader was clued into one thing from the beginning that the girl with amnesia (Reina, or Rei for short), didn’t know, but even that didn’t offer much in the way of help in figuring things out.
This was such a complicated amalgamation of things going on that it was thrilling and brilliant and I was left wondering who was good and who was bad. Was the Hero good or Bad? Was the Heroine good or bad? Was there one or more other people out to murder the heroine? And were they really after her or someone else? I ate up every word of this book and loved every minute.
Reina is engaged to Asher who from the first time she “meets” him when she is in the hospital after being beaten and losing her memory, is calling her a Monster and telling her he owns her and is going to make her pay. Though Reina doesn’t know for what. As the story goes on, Reina learns she, in fact was a monster and about the most horrible person she can imagine.
Reina also finds herself attracted to her fiancé and she is in danger. She has changed since she lost her memory and doesn’t want to be the awful person she used to be. She also doesn’t want Asher to see her as the monster he thinks her to be.
The romance between Asher and Reina is quite steamy. I give this a heat index of five 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 out of five flames! Asher definitely doesn’t want to give up the hate he feels for Reina but he can’t keep his hands off her. There are some big secrets between them but Reina doesn’t remember and Asher isn’t talking.
The book ends in a huge cliffhanger and I can’t wait for the next book which will come out within a few weeks of this one. Luckily Rina Kent is quick to release new books. It is almost unbelievable how terrific her books are for how quickly she turns them out! The plots are so complex, characters are well developed and world building is awesome. I have loved every single one I have read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.5⭐️ Okay I fear I devoured this even though it was kind of sort of trash..?!!! I needed a good binge book that required zero brain cells to get me out of my slump… this was it.
Was it a literary work of art? Absolutely not. Do I care? Absolutely not. We were here for the vibes.
And let me just say this… I see where Killian Carson gets it from.
Listen I was skeptical going into this book because after reading god of malice, I was Asher’s number 1 hater, and I still will never forgive him for how he treated Killian. But I ended up being loving his ass in this book. I fear RK did him dirty as a father because now understanding the type of man he was when he was Killians age, what he did to Killian seems so out of character. That being said Killian will forever and always be on top and I will defend him with my dying breath!
Okay back to this book. THE MYSTERY OF IT ALLLL?!!! Was it predictable? I mean yes definitely but i still was incapable of putting it down because I had to find out what happened.
Okay SPRINTING to book two!!

'ALL THE LIES' is the first full length romance book in Rina Kent's 'Lies & Truths' duet.
First off each month I'm going to fulfill my own reading challenge and that is to read something new/something old/something out of my comfort zone/a new genre/something I wouldn't usually even give a second glance too. Or something by a new to me author.
So this book is March's challenge!!
This book here was by a 'New to me author' it's just seconds since I closed off the last page.
Annnndddd I can't wrap my brain around what I've just read. I don't even know how to go about writing up this review. But I can honestly say though that not even the end of the first chapter and I was hooked, I couldn't put it down!! Didn't want to put it down!! Such a unique read!! I went into this blind, tiptoed in knowing that I'd not read anything by this author previous, but now closing out of that last page, I need more, I want to read more by this author!! If like me you've never read anything by this author, take the plunge, this was so good!! I really can't wait to see how this author wraps up this series!!
So many twists and turns, what's right and what's wrong? Like that song 'Will the real Slim Shady please step up!! You'll understand my way of thinking when you read this!! Or not!! lol
* The guy on the cover with his glaring and pouty look is kind of hot in a scary kind of way *

5 The-Ugly-Monster Stars
"Welcome back to your custom-made hell, monster."
Reina wakes up in the hospital without any recollection of her entire life, she couldn’t remember why she was there or knowing her name or her age or…. Her fiance. But the first thing she hears in the hospital is her fiance's voice who calls her a monster and threatens to break her. But why? Why this much of animosity and where does it come from?
”You awe me a life, and I will ruin yours as payback.”
"All The Lies" by Rina Kent is my first read by this author and surprisingly I loved it! It’s a dark new adult (semi-dark) story and full-on angst, an amnesia romance with twists and turns, enemies-to-lovers story and I loved it for all of that! It was unputdownable and I read it in one sitting and the whole time on the edge of my seat! Told in dual POV, 1st person. It’s the first installment in the "Lies & Truths Duet" and ends with a huge cliffhanger! Now after reading all the lies, I need all the truths that I can get from them! Overall, I enjoyed this so much and hope you love it as well!

Not feeling this one. There’s a lot of disconnect between the characters and the story doesn’t flow. It’s rather all over the place trying hard to keep it mysterious and suspenseful. Not sure I understand the H or h, their motivation or attraction and who they are trying to portray. I’m disengaged. This definitely fails because it’s sorely in need to extensive development. Things just happen instantly with no rhyme or reason. I’ll read the conclusion just to satisfy my curiosity but not because it’s good.

3.5 stars
I’m so highly confused but I think that’s the point.
I love that Asher’s main descriptors are gentle but cold. Interesting combination.
Can somebody please explain to me why if a guy like Asher existed in real life I’d no doubt hate his guts. But because it’s in a book I adore him. Why? What’s wrong with me?
With Asher’s friends, this is starting to feel vaguely like a recycled version of The Royal Elite series. Because Owen is obviously Ronan.
For the first half I was totally into it, I liked the mystery. The fact that she has amnesia but Asher refuses to believe her. She discovers what a horrible person she was, (very reminiscent of Never Never by CoHo).
But then the second half turned almost self indulgent all about school and cheerleading (boring, boring, boring). Even with the interactions with the mysterious G, it was barely enough to keep my attention.
Ugh, I hate cliffhangers! Why couldn’t we just skip all the filler and narrow this down to one book?

4.5 out of 5 stars!
Not the cliffhanger. 😫
Adding this book in my currently-reading list, but I'll probably pick it up officially next week.
Reina & Asher’s books. I already met them in Throne duet and was obsessed with their love. I can’t wait to read their real story! ♥️

asher is an asshole.
August 18, 2020
Dark romance
Safety:
-Each other first and only
-Never even kissed other people
Triggers:
- he is a complete asshole, hurts her physically by grabbing her too hard, press her bruises, grabs her throat until she can’t barely breath
I like it but where the fuck was her backbone?
Body betrayal betrayal syndrome pissed me off
He mentally tortures her, I hate that shit but I knew it was a dark romance so I sign up for this toxic thing, but babe you have to make him work.
I really really fucking like that this is totally safe, he was never even interest in any other girl so this aspect of the story was truly romantic
There was a “my slut” shit going on and I cringe reading that scenes it wasn’t sexy at all I’m laughing thinking about it
****authors you should take notes this is what we want on a dark ROMANCE, that “bully” shit with a whore and a virgin who were best friends but he couldn’t kept in his pants is not romantic, is a sexist double standards crap

This was a nice surprise, I really liked the storyline in this one.It was fast paced, and I was intrigued !I liked that there is mystery and suspense through the story.I was hooked and I just couldn't put it down until I finish it!What a ride, the characters were original!
It was addictive, and compelling .The chemistry between Reina and Asher was fantasic.There is tension between these two most of the time.I loved their steamy moments together.
I'm really excited about the next book, I'm anxious to see how the story will continue!This is definitely a great book, I'm looking forward to read more from this author!

”Never look back. If you don’t look back, you run faster. If you don’t look back, no one will catch you.”
i beg your finest pardon, what tf happened?
i’m so confused, it’s embarrassing… this won’t be a review, but more like me putting down my thoughts bc my head is not the calmest place rn.
reina who tf are you? istg i can’t figure her out. the thing is, i don’t think someone could make a hell of a change of personality so out of the blue. she lost her memories not her entire personality? i mean, if she was a bitch with capital B, drove to suicide arianna, organized stupid but evil pranks on ppl… if everyone hates her, there must be a reason, don’t you think? and what about her twin sister? where the hell is she? did they swap lives? ugh this is so frustrating!
asher i kinda like him so far?
but what’s his deal? i mean, what the hell happened between reina and asher? bc i don’t understand!
someone help me pls, i’m going mental here.
i have so many questions…
did they have sex before? did reina kill someone? where’s rai? what happened in that cottage? who tf is cloud003? who’s G???? does asher hate reina? were they lovers before? enemies? anything at all?
i’m starting the second book as we’re speaking bc i need answers!!! i don’t like being left in the dark, at all.

i miss asher and reina, so time for my third re-read of my favourite rk couple. i devoured this within hours, it always hits the same as my first time reading 🥵
I’ve died and ascended into heaven, I’m certain of it, because nothing this perfect exists. Enemies to lovers is my absolute favourite kind of romance to devour—an honest affliction and irresistible fascination more addictive than coffee. Weaved with the most thrilling and compelling amnesia narratives ever written, Rina Kent decimated me in the best conceivable manner with All the Lies. Shame on me for not reading her twisted romances sooner.
Asher Carson, the broodiest and moodiest anti-hero to ever ruin me, pulled me into an inescapable vortex of disordered emotions and bewildered thoughts. Enticed me towards his unavoidable darkness and ruthless nature of torture and torment. Asher’s slow but sure transformation made me ache to have more because there’s so much to discover behind the conceited disinterest and his relentless cold exterior.
In adverse situations and uncertain circumstances, Reina Ellis is all sassiness and feistiness. Her confidence withered and coldness vanished, but she’s determined to retrieve her buried memories and become a better, kinder version of herself. Reina’s encased in uncertainties and unanswerable questions. But God, I love Reina’s tenacious attitude in difficult scenarios and the way she bit back at Asher.
With hate filled scenes, an undeniable connection and heated, fervent banter, I damn near combusted from such intense chemistry that bloomed and flourished. In slow but sure fashion melted as sexual tension burned and scorched between Asher and Reina. I couldn't resist the push and pull between the characters—it made this duet that more of an allure!
Without hesitation, I recommend All the Lies. Between a good written amnesia narrative, the unforeseen turns and twists, and the connection between Asher and Reina, you will be left ecstatic for all the sordid outcomes—my head is filled with numerous theories and endless questions. I adored the suspense-filled and angst-ridden nature of this romance, I can't wait to witness the intricacies unwind.

The straight, chiseled jawline and the thick brows give him a fatally attractive edge—the kind serial killers have.
First red flag, I mean why the hell the author would emphasis the attractiveness of the hero to a serial killer? I heard stories about how girls are crazy for killers and it also has a psychological reason of why it happens. I understand that the author is trying to make the hero look like badass but honey, you don't need to be a serial killer to be a badass.
I don't know if a sane person would feel serial killers as handsome and dark. Most of them have heavy issues and also why the fuck is this even a topic? It just doesn't make any sense. This is seriously disturbing.
This book reminded me a lot of Deviant King The hero bullies the heroine but she falls for him. The same pattern, the only difference is the plot and amnesia. It was also interesting because the readers were constantly on edge for the mystery which was hard to figure.

➫ as y'all know it's hard to find the perfect dark romance novel, cause there's always something lacking, the plot, the characters, or something else (not saying that this one is perfect but still, it's pretty enjoyable)
i always fall in love with the characters, they have great potential only if they had a stronger plot line, this would have been perfect cause i kinda expected the plot at the end, it's been a while since i read a dark romance and i needed something good and easy to read to get me going again, and this one did the job🤌🏽, you'll probably read it in one sitting, that's how easy and exciting it was
and let's not talk about the characters because ASH?? HELLO? HE'S HELLA FINE, i absolutely love the fmc (whoever she is cause I'm not gonna spoil it lmao)
watch me dive into the second book now!! 📖

This book was an unexpected fantastic read and I am so glad to pick this author. With complexive characters, situations overdone, and deep secrets veiled I was smitten from first to last. The mind- fuckery of this book has left me awed with Rina Kent's brains on creating this story.
Reina Ellis wakes up in a hospital with a different personality, amnesia and a revenge seeking fiancé. Asher Carson has an agenda which involves Reina and he leaves no extend of fuckery to torture her. Reina struggles to fit in this second life as a new person and is apprehensive of everything she can't remember. With Asher determined to make her pay for things she can't remember and knowing she was mean and horrible person before, Reina begins to set things straight.
Asher is the moodiest and hateful person here. He portrays a dark and ruthless nature. His cold exterior has a transformation sometimes which makes me want to discover the reason of his mood by turning to the end of the book. His confusion of a changed Reina was encased with confusions and unanswerable questions. Asher and Reina's relationship was a time ticking bomb waiting to unleash.
This is a bully romance, amnesia, hate/love themed book which has unforeseen situations and sordid outcomes. The book ends with a cliffhanger which leaves us with bewildered thoughts.

I can feel the rina kent obsession coming on strong, even though this seems like a lower rating, it’s only because I find shorter books difficult to rate and this felt like more of a set up for book 2, as opposed to a complete story, but it’s not a bad book at all, it’s fast paced, exciting and dark 👀
Considering this has the amnesia trope in it which I hate, I actually couldn’t put this book down, it was intriguing from the start, mysterious and a page turner. I wanted answers, and I found myself trying to piece together information even though we only ever get Reina’s POV so I felt just as frustrated as her trying to get answers.
Rina writes the besttttt mmc’s, Asher is no exception, I hope we get his pov in book 2, im dying to find out what’s going on 😩 I love a revenge plot 🫶🏽

Rina, we know you can do better than a mysterious, aviator-wearing guy and a mean Barbie girl with a redemption arc. Also, the damn amnesia trope? It was so useless, and I hated it.

A story where the twists and turns have a vital role to play in developing the essential plot.
It was full of secrets, suspenseful, intriguing and angsty.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t convinced with the main characters’ chemistry or connection.

i really enjoy this author so it sucks to have to give her 1 star. the plotline of the guy hating the girl but she did something she can’t remember is so overdone in bully romances tbh. the chemistry was quite literally nonexistent and i just found this to be rather boring honestly. i hate the amnesia trope and i thought i’d like it but really it was fucking boring which is worse than hating it

“You're well and truly fucked prom queen.”
“Why?”
“Because you're mine now.”
ৎ⋆｡‧📖‧ 3.0★
↬ too predictable and literally nothing happend, Reina is a baddie tho
↬ During this book I was so so confused because you don't get any side information so it's like as if you also lost your memory like Reina and I HATE THAT. Sorry but I need to know what happend. I lowkey hate the memoryloss trope I just don't think it's enjoyable and that trope played a BIG part in this book so it just wasn't for me.
↬ I LOVED REINA, but sometimes she needed to stop comparing herself to her 'old self' WE GET IT GIRLLL. I hated Asher couldn't give a fuck about what he is doing.
