Hey, fellow book revelers! đ
Let me dish on something real with youâIâve been diving into bully romances for a hot minute now, and letâs 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 sheâs a doormat. Ugh, so not my vibe. But then, oh boy, along came âDeviant Kingâ by Rina Kent, and I was like, âHold up, this is the dark hero goodness Iâve been waiting for!â Yep, sign me up!đ
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 isnât supposed to be king.
I have a simple plan.
Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.
One glance from the schoolâs 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.
âI will destroy you.â
Everything about Aiden King is black.
Black mind. Black heart. Black soul.
I shouldâve remained quiet and endured the time I have left.
I didnât.
I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.
The devil in his hell.
And now, Iâll pay the price.
Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous.
But being wanted by him is lethal.
My Rating:

First, letâs take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of Rina Kentâs storytelling. I ABSOLUTELY love Rinaâs books. So, âDeviant Kingâ was my first foray into Rinaâs world. Let me tell you, it shot straight to the top of my favorites list (and the whole trilogy? Donât even get me startedâitâs basically my literary soulmate). Deviant King isnât 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 âFrozenâ for her icy cool demeanor, gets caught up in a wild ride when Aiden King, the brooding bad boy, decides heâs gonna âdestroyâ her. Talk about drama! This book is like the ultimate trifecta of tension, angst, and darkness, and I am so here for it.đ
Letâs talk about the MMC and FMC. Aiden King? Oh boy, where do I even start? Heâs the bad boy you love to hate, with a past as murky as the deep end of the ocean. But trust me, youâll find yourself drawn to him like a moth to a flame. And can we talk about Elsa Quinn? Sheâs not just another damsel in distress. The girlâs 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!đâšđ
Rinaâs writing? Chefâs kiss. Itâs like a literary seduction. Rina sprinkles magic dust on every page, drawing you deeper into the story with every word. And donât even get me started on the world-buildingâitâs like youâre 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 â itâs the dark romance dreams are made of! đ
For me, âDeviant Kingâ isnât just a bookâitâs an experience. So, this series is a must-read if youâre into brooding anti-heroes and steamy romances and their swoon-worthy obsessions. Iâm 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 wonât regret it! đ€âš đ
