A review by bookshelflawyer
Cruel King by Rina Kent

4.0

- bully romance
- high school
- dark romance

My start into the Rina Kent universe was a rollercoaster from start to finish and I cannot wait to see where the rest of this goes. 

Everything about this book took drama up to the max. Levi and Astrid go to a private high school where it seems everyone has some sort of insane secret. Even their relationship is dramatic to the max with the way they are told to stay away from each other as some sort of rival families. Levi is absolutely unhinged in everything he does, including his relationship with Astrid. From the start, Levi is hostile and combative with Astrid not wanting anything to do with him beyond a physical attraction. But nothing can stop him from pursuing. 

Somehow, this series has gotten its hooks into me and I’m certain that I will keep going until I’m caught up with the entire book universe. Was it masterpiece writing? Not really. Was it cliche and dramatic as all hell? Absolutely. Did I love nearly every second of it? Yes, yes I did.
