King's Killer by M.D. Gregory, Ki Brightly
2.0

Ugh. At the very beginning, I really thought this book might be good. I honestly quite liked it. But then, somehow, it all just took a big nosedive pretty early on, and it kept going more downhill the further along the story went. I often times found myself close to being bored to tears.

I honestly didn't care for Kai and Grant's relationship.
Although they apparently have some important emotional past growing up together in foster care, we never get to hear anything about it, and instead, their whole relationship seems to be mostly based on sex.
Kai simply didn't treat Grant with the respect he deserved, and Grant never held him accountable for it. It absolutely drove me mad.
I also thought their Sir/boy kink was so weird, and totally out of character for them. It didn't fit their dynamic at all.

I can honestly say I cared much more about Grant's relationship with his brother Aaron (otherwise known as King) than the romance. Aaron truly cared about Grant so much, and I adored the protectiveness he felt towards him and enacted with all the power he had as the president of a motorcycle club.
I wish more focus had been on their relationship. I would have enjoyed it far more than Kai's bullshit attitude.

This book is quite crime and action heavy. A lot of focus is on the motorcycle club and their operations. And let me tell you, these men are no softies. The club members are all cruel, vicious and murderous. It's pretty dark.
I found this aspect moderately interesting, but unfortunately couldn't get myself to care much for it either.
