Deviant King by Rina Kent

4.0

Deviant King is the first book in the trilogy that features this couple, but is technically book 2 in the series. This book is Aiden King and Elsa Quinn. I have to say I don't know what magic this author uses but this bully romance was just catnip, complex and I just couldn't seem to get enough of this one here. I absolutely devoured this book here. There is LOTS of angst, just warning y'all ahead of time. But somehow this author made it work for me. And all the dramatics, I was here for it though. And I normally don't do YA settings, but I loved it here. There is a lot of confusion on why Aiden treats Elsa the way she does, and you really need to read the whole trilogy to get the background on it, but whew he is intense. I adored our heroine, she is a badass. She stands on her own and is so delightful! I love that she is a fighter, and is willing to stand up to her bullies, no matter how they demean her, she has such a strong spirit and is a fighter and just what he needs to tone him down as he has such a fierce strong personality, but frankly, blame it on his dad haha

I swept through Deviant King so quickly, and it was such an addictive read. Just make sure you have books 2 and 3 handy, as it does end with a cliffhanger. But its well done, but yeah its a doozie. Just fair warning on it. I really enjoyed the friendships and I am really curioius about Xander's story for sure, there is so much history for his story I bet.
