3.5 out of 5 ☆’s.

”Those who don't play think that the king is the most important piece because the game is over when he dies. They don't know that the king is useless without his queen.”

Aiden’s character piqued my interest while reading ”Cruel King” — so I was ecstatic when I found out that the next book in the series was his!

While I did enjoy ”Deviant King” overall (Note: I was aware of it being a dark bully romance novel — so none of its content took me by surprise) I will say that I wasn’t a big fan of the ending twist…

I did see it coming (so it wasn’t something out of left field) but it was too similar to Levi + Astrid’s situation with their parents (in my opinion) which bothered me.

(Are all of the characters going to be connected to their love interests in similar ways — or are the Kings just cursed?)

This book is not morally grey, it is morally black. The non- consensual sexual content, the constant sexual and physical harassment and the toxic possessiveness made me uncomfortable and confused. None of the characters are likeable. It is also not overly well written. But it gets more than a 1 star rating because there is actually a decent, mysterious and interesting plot at play here which I want to know more about. And yes that means that I will be reading the next book in the series because I want to know more about Aiden and Elsa’s past.
