Just a long ranting pondering about Crave the Villainβ¦
Who do you guys think CtV will be about?
As of now Rina has been marketing the Villain Series as a Legacy of Gods spinoff series. So it stands to reason that at least one of the mcs will be a son from a previous couple like Gareth is Asher/Reinaβs kid and Vaughn is Kirill/Sashaβs kid. I know there are some people who think the book will be about Jethro because he was seen watching the serpents, but neither Jethro or any serpent have had parents from a previous book. It wouldnβt make sense for Rina to have her 3rd book in a series be about characters that donβt fit with the mcs from the other books.
I would love if it could be about Remi since he is the only Male character of the 2nd gen we know of that hasnβt gotten a book. But itβs pretty much fandom accepted that heβs with Ariella. I can just picture the amount of hate sheβd get for not only putting Remi canonically with Ariella, but making Remi queer. I still remember how much hate she got for giving Vaughn an MM series, so just imagine if it ends up being Remi. Iβd love it to be Remi because I loved Remi, but Iβve accepted itβs most likely not going to happen.
Some other characters we know of that would/could fit being in the 2nd gen are Jayden Adler, Mike Ivanov, Conrad Sterling, or Logan Weaver.
Or it could be a son of a previous couple that wasnβt born by the time of their parentsβ book. Like Nicole/Danielβs 2nd kid, Naomi/Sebastianβs kid, or Aspen/Kingsleyβs kid.
My thought is that if the mc is a new character, their parents are a couple from a previous book may be a side couple who never got their own book so which will explain why they were never introduced in the LoG series
Maybe it could be a son of Yuri/Anton & Maksim or Kristina & Konstantin. Vaughn is a small side character in the and doesnβt come to the island and goes to a college in New York. I canβt imagine he doesnβt have any sort of friends or people heβs close to. And if the mc of CtV is friends with Vaughn but not any of the other Heathens, and Vaughn and the mc are friends through their parents but not with the other Heathensβs parents it would help explain why they havenβt been mentioned in the LoG series.
Maybe Iβm not putting my words in a clear manner, but I think it would help her introduce a new character thatβs part of the second gen.
My other theory comes with the large gap thatβs between Tempting Venomβs release and CtVβs release. From KtV to Beautiful Venom, to KtV trad publish to Sweet Venom to HtV to Tempting Venomβs releases thereβs only been a handful of months in between. But then all of a sudden thereβs an almost year long gap between TV and CtV releases? It doesnβt make sense.
So my theory is weβre gonna get another book in between and the couple from the bookβs son is going to be an mc for CtV. The couple would be a side couple from a prev book that people really wanted to see. My hope that if we do itβll be maybe Damien and Mio or Akria and Ren or Yuri/Anton and Maksim. And if she does one of these couples, especially Damien and Mio, itβs a duet. Itβs been a while since sheβs done one since sheβs just been doing one book per couple lately.
Those are just my thoughts. I know itβs a long post so thank you if you read the whole thing. Just curious to see what others think.
