Deviant King

A Dark High School Bully Romance (Royal Elite, Book 1)

By: Rina Kent

Narrated by: Shane East, Keira Stevens

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.

Deviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some listeners might find offensive. Aiden isn’t the normal romance hero. In fact, he’s not a hero at all. So please don’t listen to this if any of that bothers you.

This book is part of a trilogy and is not a stand-alone.

What a surprise

I was hesitant to start this as it's a high school setting and I am LONG past high school. However after seeing so many glowing reviews I went for it. It's a good story that you really don't focus on their ages as much. Ready for book 2! Narration was awesome, but I wanted Shane more:)

Oh the angst!!

Wow!! This took enemies to lovers to a whole new level. I was not sure how I was going to feel about Aidan when he first turns his attention to Elsa. But holy hotness!! I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Wow

This was even better than what I thought! The suspense of what happened to Elsa when she was young! Have to start next book right away!

The performance AND story are outstanding

When the narrator says sweetheart, I get so excited and dizzy and smile so wide. It’s so good and the story part ended so unpredictable for me .. I really wonder how the author comes up with all this. I can’t believe there are really men like this. It would be so exciting.

Love!

What a Magnificent Read and Start to a Trilogy, I’m Highly Anticipating The Next Book. Most Memorable For Sure!

Will I Read More From This Author? Absolutely, the writing itself is hypnotizing to me.
I Have Read Levi’s Book -Cruel King- in the Bully Anthology, and was Very Impressed With That Read As Well.
I will most definitely read another series by this Author!

Update:

Oh My Goodness! Shane East! His voice is gorgeous and completely addictive!
When you first hear him, you’ll never want to stop!
I can’t wait to hear more from him in this series!
Keira Stevens fits Elsa perfectly!
This Duo works harmoniously, and very appealing to my ears.

Five stars

I love this style of narration. The accents were perfection. The narrators didn’t sound like they were not the right age to be these characters and it was super easy to lose myself in this one.

As for the story:

Oh em gee, y’all. This book gripped me and refused to let me go.
And the only reason it got put down was because I had to be a responsible adult and go to work.
I was curious about Aiden the moment we met him in the Nobles Savages box set, but I had no clue.
And to be honest, I’m still thinking there’s a lot lurking that we’re unaware of.
Elsa(Ellie, Elsie, Frozen) whatever you want to call her is a unique character, multifaceted, with urges hidden beneath her exterior.
King isn’t hiding. He’s here to take what’s his, destroy whatever’s in his way, and damn the consequences.
From their first meeting, he’s honest about his intentions. I’ll give him that, even if there are definitely more nefarious things happening in the shadows of the plot.
The ending ripped me up and left me bleeding. I was not prepared, at all, and I knew this wasn’t a stand-alone. Still battered over here, and will be until the next book comes out.

Recommendation: This is a reread for sure. I guarantee there’s more than what meets the eye hidden here, and the more you read, the more you’ll discover.

Amazingly Dark High School Bully Romance!

This was my first Rina Kent's book, and definitely won't be my last. This the first book in the Royal Elite Series, an amazingly Dark High School Bully Romance. You have to listen to the first three books in the series in order. Elsa and Aiden's story has it all! Drama, passion, secret, mystery, suspense, and intrigue. Elsa is a wonderful character, strong, and resilient. Aiden is dark, ruthless, and possessive. They share an undeniable, and sizzling chemistry. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. The storyline is intricate and captivating. The story ends with a cliffhanger. Shane East and Keira Stevens did an amazing job with the narration. I love their voices together. I highly recommend it! #AudiobookObsession

Good.

It is a good read. Some filler tension with the characters which was annoying at times. Over all a steamy good read.

Watch the Cliff

I should have known and I did. But like holy mother what kind of cliff hanger is that??? Just going to drop me off like that. How rude!!! 😂 but lawd the amount of panties that you need for listening to this.

So good!

Love Aiden so so much!! Shane East is EVERYTHING!! This is a re-read and re-listen for years to come!
