Royal Elite Book 0: Cruel King by Rina Kent

 

Royal Elite Book 0

He's no fairy tale king.

Levi
Here, little princess. I'm your king.
You have three rules.
Bow. Break. Bend the knee.
Fight me all you want, but soon enough, you'll be chanting long live the king.

Astrid
One day I'm Royal Elite School's small fly, the next I'm hunted and left to die.
He doesn't only shred my life to parts, but he's also coming after my heart.
He thinks he broke me, but the new princess will bring the king to his knees.

Cruel King is a complete standalone in Royal Elite world. No book should be read prior to this

My Review: 4/5 Stars

So I started with the kids’ books, opps! But now I’m finally circling back to the beginning of this universe and in doing so, it’s time to see what the parents were like as kids. And it will surprise no one when I say their kids are exactly like them LOL. And it starts with Levi and Astrid. Astrid has done her best to stay invisible at Royal Elite School. She has one year to go and then she’s free. But when she goes to a party before school starts, nothing goes to plan. And she ends up being the victim of a hit-and-run. And on top of that? She let’s the literal King of the school notice her. Big mistake. Because once Levi has his eyes on you, he won’t let go. Especially when it comes Astrid. Astrid is determined to figure out what happened that night and bring them to justice. Levi wants her to forget that night, especially because accident wasn’t the only thing that happened. She stands up to him and fights him every step of the way. Whatever move he makes, she counters it. And no one does that. It only intrigues Levi. And turns out, there is more to these two than anyone knows and they have more in common than they think. But this is a dangerous world they live in and they have to play smart if they want to come out of it alive. I was definitely looking forward to reading this story after reading about their kids and seeing them adults. It was fun to see what they were like before that and it didn’t disappoint. Their love story is exactly what you would expect and I can’t wait to see everyone else’s stories!
