This was my first book by Rina Kent, but it won't be my last. I'm already wanting to know what's up for the younger King and the Ice Princess. That's another book, so I'll go back to talking about this one. Cruel King wasn't an Earth shattering read for me. It was similar to the other bully / dark romances set in high school I've read before. Astrid's a wallflower and invisible until Levi King makes her not with his bullying tactics. Things take a twisted and sexual turn with a mystery lurking in the background. I'm making it sound cliche, but it did actually surprise me at one point. I was also addicted to the story and its characters.
