3 ⭐️ Premessa commento questo libro ma commento tutti i tre i volumi della storia.
allora la storia anche se prevedibile in certi punti è molto carina però troppo troppo troppo lunga per una coppia sola. Gusto personale. Comunque penso che leggerò tutta la royal series e poi gli altri libri che comprendono i genitori della god of legacy series

Deviant King is the beginning of Elsa and Aiden’s dark, twisted journey, told across three books in the Royal Elite series. As the first installment of their trilogy, it doesn’t hold back. This opener launches an obsessive, high-stakes bully romance while threading in layers of psychological mystery and buried trauma.
Elsa transfers into Royal Elite School her sophomore year and quickly learns that her plan of flying under the radar isn’t an option. Aiden King fixates on her from the start, orchestrating the torment she faces even while keeping his distance. By senior year, the tension that’s simmered for years finally erupts, pulling them both into a volatile and consuming dynamic.
What makes this story so gripping is the balance between the toxic push-pull of their romance and the suspense of Elsa’s backstory. The bullying, blurred consent, and constant mind games won’t be for every reader, but for those who enjoy darker reads, the intensity works. Rina Kent also seeds in a deeper mystery with Elsa’s missing childhood memories, Aiden’s scars, Jonathan King’s ominous presence, and a potential history between Elsa and Aiden. These threads raise the stakes beyond angst and attraction, building toward revelations still to come in the sequels.
The secondary characters add an enjoyable contrast with Kim and Xander’s fraught history, Silver’s obsessive rivalry, and the dangerous loyalty of the Four Horsemen. They round out the story and remind you that everyone at Royal Elite is playing their own game.
The cliffhanger ending is a perfect gut punch. Just as Elsa and Aiden’s relationship steadies, a secret detonates that threatens to tear them apart. The fallout ensures you’ll want to keep turning pages straight into the next book.
Overall, Deviant King is the kind of bully romance that leaves you tense, intrigued, and hungry for answers. Elsa and Aiden’s story spans three books, and this first installment hooks you with its intensity while laying the groundwork for everything still to come.
Pido perdón por haberlo disfrutando tantísimo a la hora de leerlo. No me arrepiento de introducirme al mundo de Rina Kent.
Totalmente funable el libro pero oh, cómo me encantan Elsa y Aiden.

2.5 stars. You will need to turn off ur feminist brain for this, and I didn’t do a good job at that.
I’ve not read any bully romance before… not sure it’s for me. Especially when the characters are so young. I couldn’t take anything seriously.

Oh Rina.
I can’t in good conscience rate this any higher despite the fact I was really quite invested in the story because this was absolutely terribly written
