A review by cj_454
Malevolent King by Mila Kane
5.0
There's action within the first few pages of the first chapter and instantly you're hooked. These are the stories that keep you engaged and eager to read!
In order for Niko to get out of the situation he's in, he needs leverage. Enter Sofia. They know each other from when her cousin callously bet her in a card game. He's known she was his for the last 5 years and he will take what's his.
We met Niko in Kirill's book, and he came across as unhinged and deranged. He still is but we get to see that he's a complex character with a whole bunch of different layers. He does things differently than most. He did some questionable things in the Vicious Vengeance Due, and you weren't quite sure whether we were going to like him or not. Underneath it all, he wants someone that is his other half, that will be the light to his darkness
Sofia feels trapped in her life. All she wants to do is get out from under her father and move away. She doesn't have freedom and the friends she has have been hand-picked, so nothing is really what she has chosen. Sofia happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then she becomes Niko's pawn. She fights it at the start but she soon realises that she has more freedom with a deranged psycho than she does with her own family. Niko will do anything for Sophia and will unalive anyone that hurts her.
Written really well. Sophia and Niko are perfect together. His pretty little prom queen and her unhinged psycho. Their chemistry was undeniable! I have thoroughly enjoyed being taken back to the beginning of how these two first met and how they interacted over the years and how Niko's obsession with Sofia grew.
This was one of those books that was packed with action, I loved every minute of it. Mila really holds you hostage with her words and you do not want to put the book down. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end!.....and then that cliff-hanger!?!?
