Inside the Vipers’ Den: Why Rina Kent’s Beautiful Venom Is the Start of Something Bigger
Dark romance readers, get ready... Rina Kent is officially flipping the script.
With the release of Beautiful Venom, we’re stepping out of the world of wealthy heirs and elite universities (think Legacy of Gods) and into something much grittier: the bloodied ice of college hockey, the shadows of secret societies, and a revenge-driven heroine who bites back harder than any snake.
But don’t worry, this is still the Rinaverse - just a different dimension of it.
What Makes Beautiful Venom So Big?
-
It’s Rina Kent’s first hockey romance and of course, it’s dark.
-
The secret society in this world isn’t just a backdrop… they own the university, the club, and even the city.
-
It’s a fresh starting point: no prior reading required, so it's perfect for both longtime fans and new readers.
-
There are rumors of MM pairings and crossovers with past characters (👀 Kiss the Villain fans, pay attention).
-
And the hero? Kane Davenport—charming, predatory, and coiled like a serpent beneath his green-flag smile.

And yes, it all begins May 27, 2025.
