Spill the Spine

Love the episode? Hate our opinions? Tell us everything!

This week was supposed to be all about Deviant King, Steel Princess, and Twisted Kingdom by Rina Kent… but yeah, that didn’t exactly happen.

After realizing we had some thoughts (and maybe a few concerns), we pivoted hard and picked up Lights Out by Navessa Allen instead. Did we stay on topic? Absolutely not.

What started as a backup plan quickly spiraled into pure chaos—featuring unhinged tangents, questionable takes, and us talking about literally everything except the book we chose.

So if you’re here for a structured literary discussion… this isn’t that. But if you’re here for vibes, laughs, and two besties losing the plot entirely? You’re in the right place.

In this episode, We crack open the morally gray universe of Rina Kent — where the kings are cruel, the obsession is unhinged, and the tension is absolutely feral.

We’re breaking down four of her most addictive books:

• Cruel King — the enemies‑to‑lovers spark that lit the entire Royal Elite world on fire
• God of Malice — the dark, twisted obsession that made readers collectively lose their sanity
• God of Ruin — the chaos, the heartbreak, and the beautifully toxic romance that ties it all together
• God of Fury — the rage, the revenge, the unraveling

Expect unfiltered opinions, character analysis, favorite moments, and the tropes that had us kicking our feet. If you love dark academia vibes, morally questionable men, and stories that refuse to let you look away, this episode is your new home.

Grab your headphones — it’s time to spill the spine.

Episode Description: Phantom by H.D. Carlton

This week on Spill the Spine, we’re diving into Phantom by H.D. Carlton — and whew… buckle up.

We’re talking masked obsession, morally gray chaos, tension you could cut with a knife, and that signature H.D. Carlton darkness that has us questioning our life choices (respectfully). 👀

In this episode, we break down:

• The twisted romance and power dynamics
• Our unfiltered thoughts on that chemistry
• The moments that had us gasping, pacing, and texting each other in all caps
• Whether Phantom just ruined all other book boyfriends for us

If you love dark romance that pushes boundaries and lives rent-free in your head, this one’s for you.
