Kill the King by Elizabeth Dear
5.0
This book was absolutely everything that I could have wanted it to be. Jolie continues to be the fierce queen that she has been from the beginning. And now that all of her guys are on board I was just waiting for the total chaos to begin! I have to admit that it was kind of cathartic seeing the takedown of every single one of the heads of the families. Not only that, but the revenge that was had on some of the side characters from the school was just…*chef’s kiss* amazing.
Most of the time we see the whole “touch her and die” trope in these types of books. What I loved about this one is that it has a “touch HIM and die” trope, that we very rarely see. I loved that we see the guys being the ones to hold Jolie back instead of the other way around. Add in the banter between Jolie and her guys, as well as all of the side characters and I was cracking up through so much of this book.
While I’m sad to see the series end, it couldn’t have been done in a better way. I flew through all 3 books back to back in no time. I seriously didn’t want to put my kindle down to stop reading and I definitely gave up some sleep because it was more important for me to keep reading. I cannot wait for Max and Frankies book because I know that it’s going to be absolutely amazing!
