Description

The villain isn’t supposed to be king. I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. One glance and he suffocates my air. One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne. The devil in his hell. And now, I’ll pay the price. Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous. But being wanted by him is lethal. This book is part of a trilogy and is not a standalone. The entire trilogy is available.

  • Amazing Book 1 of the RES Series!!
Format: Kindle
📚 Book #1 of 2024 📕 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Deviant King by Rina Kent is a mesmerizing journey into the depths of darkness and desire. From the very first page, I was completely engrossed in the storyline, captivated by the intricate plot, and enthralled by the compelling characters. This dark high school bully romance is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to explore the forbidden and embrace the unconventional, it is an absolute must-read. The story revolves around Elsa Steel, a strong-willed and determined young woman with a simple plan: to finish Royal Elite School and secure her place in her dream university. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she catches the attention of the school's king, Aiden King. With one glance, Aiden shatters her dreams and thrusts her into a world of chaos and danger. Their connection is intense, their chemistry undeniable, and their journey together is filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. What truly sets Deviant King apart is its exceptional character development. Aiden King is a complex and enigmatic anti-hero who exudes a dark and magnetic aura. His black mind, heart, and soul make him an intriguing and unpredictable character, and I found myself both hating and loving him in equal measure. Elsa Steel, on the other hand, is a fierce and resilient protagonist who refuses to be broken by Aiden's cruelty. Their dynamic is electric, and their interactions are filled with tension, passion, and undeniable chemistry. While Aiden and Elsa steal the spotlight, the secondary cast of characters is equally compelling. Each character brings their own unique flavor to the story, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. I found myself equally invested in their journeys and eagerly anticipating their roles in the unfolding drama. The ending of Deviant King left me reeling, with a twist that hit me like a blow to the face. It left me craving more, desperate to dive into the next installment of the Royal Elite Series, Steel Princess. The author's ability to keep readers hooked and emotionally invested is truly commendable. In conclusion, Deviant King is a dark and addictive tale that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions. Rina Kent's masterful storytelling, combined with a captivating plot and well-developed characters, makes this book an absolute gem. If you're a fan of dark romance, mature new adult, and enjoy exploring the depths of human desire and emotion, then this book is a must-read. Just be prepared to be consumed by the spice and love that emanates from the pages. ... show more

  • I was pleasantly surprised by this book!
Format: Kindle
I’ve never read any of Rina Kent’s work before and stumbled across this title on BookTok. After reading Cruel King and really enjoying the experience, I decided to give this book a go. Holy smokes - I was not disappointed. This book was dark, twisted, sexy, made me giggle in a few places, and really shocked me with how much I enjoyed the world building happening within the story. Aiden and Elsa have magnetic energy that grips you from the moment you learn about their first meeting. You want to know why Aiden behaves the way he does towards her, what is going on at this school, and why does it feel like something is seriously off. This book is the beginning of a trilogy and definitely feels like the start of a much bigger, more complex story that’s slowly unfolding for us. A great introduction into this couple and their complex history, journey, and relationship. This book is hot. A little messed up - but hot!!!🥵 If you’re into darker themes and storylines then this book is for you. Aiden is the experienced jock King of the school who doesn’t have time for anything or anyone but himself and the games he plays. Elsa is the quiet ice princess who keeps everyone at an arms distance by hiding in plain sight and doesn’t interact with the world except for her best friend Kim and her adoptive parents/aunt and uncle. Their immediate spark when they’re alone for the first time sent chills down my spine. I’ve never read a book where the personalities of our MCs clashed so intensely yet perfectly at the same time. Their relationship makes you feel a little bit out of control and a little bit intrigued at the loss of that control because you simply cannot predict where the heck this book is going to go. Sure, there are the silly school tropes and enemy’s to lovers tropes, but I have a feeling that this is only the beginning of the darkness for our lovers, and I’m actually so excited to find out more in the next books! The only reasons I did not give this book five stars: It’s a little on the slow side. This book tends to drag in some places, and can feel a bit repetitive when Aiden and Elsa are fighting about the same things over and over again. I wish Elsa would fight back a little smarter against Aiden, but I also get that part of her character development is learning to not only play the game but play Aiden’s game. So if you read this book, try not to get too frustrated when you want her to say the things she should but backs down. Hopefully in the next books she’ll grow into herself a bit and give him a run for his money!! The other reason is that this book is single POV. We’re only in Elsa’s head for this book. I was dying to get to see what Aiden was thinking in a few of the scenes and hear what runs through his head because WOW - he says some stuff that made me BLUSH!!!! I’m curious if this has a purpose within the story - because as you’re reading and watching what’s happening to Elsa, you feel as isolated and lost as she does. It’s an interesting writing style that I like, but I’m still a Dual POV girly. Overall - this is a fantastic new adult dark high school enemy’s to lovers bully romance. It’s hot, intense, twisted, intriguing, and a little bit thrilling!! You will not be disappointed!! But please read the warnings before you read as this is a dark romance and deals with darker themes that can be upsetting to some readers. P. S. The male narrator for the audio book is SO HOT!! I highly recommend reading the book and listening to the audio along with it🥵🥵🥵🥵 ... show more

  • Better than Expected
Format: Kindle
I don’t usually like high-school romance but I have to say that I do like this one. The way it was written was great and I was worried that the dark concepts won’t mix well with the high school set up but it blended seamlessly with the story. I also like the sense mystery in this book cause it kept me invested and had me making theories left and right. At first, there were things that just didn’t make sense like their first meeting and Aiden’s volatile reaction to her but the more I read, the more some of it (not all) makes sense cause you can really feel the puzzle pieces slowly clicking into place despite a lot of it still missing. Aiden and Elsa’s chemistry is a little confusing for me. It’s certainly there and it’s so thick you can almost feel it taking over the entire room, but without all the answers, I can’t help but feel that the infatuation and obsession with Elsa couldn’t have begun just like that, cause it just doesn’t make sense! I mean, it’s not clicking for me at least (I know I’m slow, no need to come for my stupid ass 😆). Did his obsession grow from his resentment? Did they know each other back in the past? Was it obsession at first sight? I have so many questions and hopefully, the next book resolve it for me cause I won’t be able to move on from this book if I can’t make sense of this one 😩😆 ... show more

  • A Dark, Addictive, Emotionally Charged Romance You Can’t Put Down
Deviant King (Deluxe Edition) is the kind of book that grabs you by the collar and drags you straight into its world. It’s intense, dramatic, and absolutely addictive — the perfect blend of dark romance, psychological tension, and character chemistry that keeps you turning pages long after you meant to stop. Aiden King is written with such precision. He’s magnetic, infuriating, and impossible to ignore — the kind of character who makes you feel every emotion at once. What I loved most is that his darkness isn’t just for shock value; it’s layered, purposeful, and tied to real vulnerability beneath the surface. Elsa’s journey is equally compelling. She’s strong, curious, and far more resilient than she realizes, and watching her push back against Aiden’s intensity is one of the most satisfying parts of the story. The writing is sharp and immersive. Every scene feels charged — whether it’s a quiet moment of tension, a confrontation that leaves your heart racing, or a reveal that shifts everything you thought you knew. The author balances psychological depth with romance in a way that feels seamless. You’re not just reading about these characters; you’re feeling their conflict, their pull toward each other, and the danger wrapped around them. The Deluxe Edition adds even more richness to the experience. The bonus content deepens the emotional beats and gives you a fuller picture of the characters’ motivations. It’s absolutely worth it if you enjoy seeing the story from multiple angles. If you love dark romance with complex characters, high emotional stakes, and a plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish, Deviant King delivers all of that and more. It’s intense, addictive, and beautifully written — a standout in the genre. ... show more

  • Better than the prequel
Format: Kindle
This was definitely light years better than the prequel, I would say that this was a dark adult romance compared to that which was labeled the same. I cannot quite say that this series is dark still though.
