Title: Deviant King

Series: Royal Elite #1

Author: Rina Kent

Genre: Dark High School Bully Romance

Release Date: October 24, 2019

The villain isn’t supposed to be the king.

I have a simple plan.

Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.

One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke.

One glance and he suffocates my air.

One glance and he issues his death sentence.

His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos.

“I will destroy you.”

Everything about Aiden King is black.

Black mind.

Black heart.

Black soul.

I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left.

I didn’t.

I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

The devil in his hell.

And now, I’ll pay the price.

Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous. 

But being wanted by him is lethal.

Deviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some readers might find offensive. Aiden isn’t the normal romance hero. In fact, he’s not a hero at ALL. So please don’t read this if any of that bothers you.

This book is NOT standalone.

This was book was so addicting! I really don't think that I will ever tire of the high school bully romance trope. I was so impressed with this book. Aiden has absolutely no moral center. The book was aptly titled because deviant just fits him. Some of the things that he did to Elsa had my mouth gaping open. I honestly didn't know how to feel about his character half of the time and if I am being honest I still don't know what to truly think of Aiden. For good or bad though, I am definitely interested and intrigued by his character. Aiden and Elsa have a very complicated relationship but their chemistry was undeniable. It was hotter than Hades. Aiden's interest in Elsa was really obsessive and he was possessive to the extreme. The characters were complex and I also really loved the secondary characters in this book. I am ready to see more of them in other books in the series. The writing was amazing. The flow of the story was perfect. The plot of the story was very riveting. There was a lot of mystery and suspense added in, which I loved. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire book and it felt like a rollercoaster ride. If you enjoy this trope then you should definitely pick this book up. It won't disappoint you.
