⭐️⭐️⭐️ TOXICITY AT ITS FINEST

What Rina Kent does best is write toxic love rooted in tragedy, and Cruel King was no different. Her characters are always messy, complicated, and driven by problematic personalities—and that’s exactly what I enjoy about her stories. That said, while the angst and intensity were there, I didn’t always feel fully pulled into the romance. It was addictive at times but also frustrating in ways that made it hard to completely love. Still, it’s a solid read if you’re into dark, twisted love stories that lean heavily into toxicity and drama.

It's an interesting slow story that makes more and more sense each time you read the next book from the saga. It's not just about the dark romance part but also the character development is very interesting.

Not sure how to feel about this one.

Actually, I don't like reading about teenage heroes, so I didn't like it that much.
Guys, they're kids. Why do they drink so much alcohol? Even in movies, we see parents raiding parties and making sure there's no alcohol, but that's just a story.
I didn't like it much, nor i did't hate it, but of their first intimate scene. It was a kidnapping, then something like rape, and I hate that.

I loved her talk with her friend Dan. He seemed like a real, nice friend.
