So this is a *FREE* cute little Novella to introduce Rittenhouse Kings series. It was an interesting way to meet the key MCs of the series. While the Novella is YA (End of Senior year of high school), the series itself is NA and is set during their college years.

My only complaint is that, timeline-wise, it occurs after the Prequel but before the main content of the first book, “Shameless King”. The novella refers to things that happen in the prequel and it’s a tiny bit spoiler-ish.

Unless there’s a strong need for “flashback” ~ I tend to prefer to read things chronologically so it kind of felt off for that reason.

High School, the best time of your life, or is it just the beginning? For the Rittenhouse Kings it is the beginning of their stories. A tiny glimpse into the lives of who the Kings are and where they are headed next. It was also a glimpse at the troupes that Maya has in store down the road for each King as they head into the future to find their Queen.
The Kings of Rittenhouse is a prequel novella, showcasing the last time seniors; Declan, Emmett, Heath, Ford, Colm are all together in preparatory school. Cleverly done, it opens with an assembly where the principal announces each senior and their school voted accomplishments (aka, Best Bromance, etc..). As the book progresses, you meet the infamous Ice Queen, Makenna "Mak" who is the center heroine in the first book, but for now she has to interview the Kings for the upcoming yearbook.
All in all, it was a great appetizer to the series, and left me hungry to read more.

What a start!

Just when you think you have a handle on it all, Senior year ends in a bang that decimates everything around you! I am excited to see these two pick up theenemies to lovers romance that is destined to happen...Its written in the stars. I'm devastated for Emmett and hope that that particular shrapnel won't ruin everything he has going for him... I guess I'll see. I'm about to dive into the rest of the kings!

Don't have much of an opinion as it's so short. Feel like I'll appreciate it more when I have read more of the series. Never the less enjoyed what I was reading throughout.

I liked this and I get that it was a prologue but I really didn’t like the cliff hanger.
