toxic relationship dynamics, obsession, dark themes
Landon and Mia’s story is a mix of sweetness, obsession, and danger. When Mia loses her voice and relies on her phone to communicate, Landon surprises everyone by learning sign language practically overnight just so she never has to struggle to talk to him. Their connection grows fast, tangled with dark family secrets, stalkers, violence, and the mystery of who tried to kidnap Mia. What starts as a soft, unexpected bond becomes a high-stakes fight for safety, trust, and something like love in the middle of all the chaos.
I loved how soft and protective Landon was with Mia from the beginning. The fact that he picked up sign language so fast just so she wouldn’t have to rely on her phone anymore was genuinely adorable and made their bond feel so natural. Their quiet moments were some of my favorites, especially the way they communicated without needing a lot of words. The twists when they started uncovering who tried to kidnap Mia kept me locked in, and each reveal made the story even better. It had the perfect mix of sweet romance and dark suspense.
There were a few moments where things moved so quickly that I wished the book slowed down just a little to let the emotional impact settle. The nonstop chaos around the kidnapping plot was exciting, but sometimes I wanted just a bit more breathing room with Landon and Mia before the next dramatic moment hit. Nothing deal-breaking, just places where the pacing felt almost too fast compared to how soft their relationship was.
Overall, this book was such a cute, unexpectedly tender read wrapped inside a darker, suspenseful storyline. Landon and Mia balance each other so well, and their relationship felt genuine even with all the danger happening around them. The mystery element kept the plot moving, and their sweet connection grounded the whole story. If you like romance with protective heroes, vulnerable heroines, and twists that actually deliver, God of Ruin is a must-read.
