Hey, fellow book revelers! 📚
Let me dish on something real with you—I’ve been diving into bully romances for a hot minute now, and let’s be real, not many have managed to steal my heart. Most of them just end up feeling like a bad rerun, with the hero acting like a jerk and the heroine pretending to be tough when she’s a doormat. Ugh, so not my vibe. But then, oh boy, along came “Deviant King” by Rina Kent, and I was like, “Hold up, this is the dark hero goodness I’ve been waiting for!” Yep, sign me up!😁
Caution:
Deviant King is a dark romance book by Rina Kent that contains dubious moments and follows a dark theme with trigger warnings, which could upset some readers. If you do not like dark romance themes, I suggest not reading this book.
Deviant King by Rina Kent
Blurb
The villain isn’t supposed to be 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.

First, let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of Rina Kent’s storytelling. I ABSOLUTELY love Rina’s books. So, “Deviant King“ was my first foray into Rina’s world. Let me tell you, it shot straight to the top of my favorites list (and the whole trilogy? Don’t even get me started—it’s basically my literary soulmate). Deviant King isn’t just your run-of-the-mill bully romance. From the get-go, I was hooked, line and sinker. Deviant King throws you headfirst into the Royal Elite School (RES), where power plays and hidden secrets rule the roost. Elsa Quinn, our fearless heroine labelled “Frozen” for her icy cool demeanor, gets caught up in a wild ride when Aiden King, the brooding bad boy, decides he’s gonna “destroy” her. Talk about drama! This book is like the ultimate trifecta of tension, angst, and darkness, and I am so here for it.😀
Let’s talk about the MMC and FMC. Aiden King? Oh boy, where do I even start? He’s the bad boy you love to hate, with a past as murky as the deep end of the ocean. But trust me, you’ll find yourself drawn to him like a moth to a flame. And can we talk about Elsa Quinn? She’s not just another damsel in distress. The girl’s got layers! Her journey through conflicts, a forgotten past, and a pesky heart condition add depth to her character, making her a badass leading lady. Aiden King and Elsa Quinn as a couple? They are indeed a power couple!🌟✨🎇
Rina’s writing? Chef’s kiss. It’s like a literary seduction. Rina sprinkles magic dust on every page, drawing you deeper into the story with every word. And don’t even get me started on the world-building—it’s like you’re right there in the halls of Royal Elite School, soaking up every juicy detail. Rina deserves all the snaps for this masterpiece. The storytelling, the characters, and that cliffhanger ending – it’s the dark romance dreams are made of! 🌌
For me, “Deviant King” isn’t just a book—it’s an experience. So, this series is a must-read if you’re into brooding anti-heroes and steamy romances and their swoon-worthy obsessions. I’m waving my bookish wand and wholeheartedly recommend it for a thrilling and seductive literary escape. So, do yourself a favor and dive headfirst into this series. Trust me, you won’t regret it! 🖤✨ 📖
