Summary

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。

Aside from the previously published book， this version contains a never-published-before bonus scene。
Cruel King is a complete standalone in Royal Elite world。 No book should be read prior to this。

Renee McDougle ，

LOVE！I love Rina Kent， she writes phenomenal books！ I’m so excited to finally dive into the Royal Elite Series！ Levi and Astrid are *chefs kiss*

haze （taylor’s version） ，

I am absolutely disgusted by this book。 If she doesn’t want sex， she doesn’t want it！！ How hard is it to understand。 There’s a difference between dark romance and rape。

yeah no😋

Marissa Woelm ，

Honestly converted me from being a staunch hero supporter to being bored while ready anything but complicated anti-heroes。 Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have toe curling， hilarious times。

Gretchen ，

Levi and Astrid are my babies。 I loved watching their relationship develop。

Melissa Orellana ，

This is my first dark romance type of a book so it was different to say the least。 However， I did enjoy the book and was surprised by the fact I couldn’t put it down。 I was at work and trying to sneak in 5 minute breaks so I could read a chapter or two。 Levi and Astrid have a place in my heart and head at the moment。 Their relationship truly was one of kind in my books lol。 I’m excited to continue reading the royal elite series。

Rina has done it again。 She slays with every book she writes。 I don’t know why I put this book off for so long。 Astrid is such a relatable character with her artistic talents and her dad issues。 I loved the relationship between Astrid and her father it was very heartfelt。 and Levi had me kicking my feet the whole time through all his obsession with Astrid。 and the way they clash; amazing。 I felt the chemistry through the screen。 This book was so good I didn’t put it down once。 I brought it every Rina has done it again。 She slays with every book she writes。 I don’t know why I put this book off for so long。 Astrid is such a relatable character with her artistic talents and her dad issues。 I loved the relationship between Astrid and her father it was very heartfelt。 and Levi had me kicking my feet the whole time through all his obsession with Astrid。 and the way they clash; amazing。 I felt the chemistry through the screen。 This book was so good I didn’t put it down once。 I brought it everywhere with me。 the banter was amazing。 i loved seeing glimpses of Aiden， Ronan， Xander， Elsa， Kim， and Cole in their younger years。 But Levi’s possessiveness is really what got to me。 Also the miscommunication between Levi and Jonathan; chefs kiss。 This whole book in general amazing。 。。。more

this book took me almost 3 weeks to read and im so glad i finally finished it。 levi & astrid were just not it - they were boring & didn’t make me feel anything。 the only reason i continued was because of the of the side characters， and i can’t wait for their books。

The only good thing about this book is that it is now over and it had short chapters。What the fuck did I even just read。 I feel like the writing was terrible and the FMC was the absolute worst。 Astrid was the most annoying main character ever holy crap I hated her。 Also what even was the plot twist or even the plot in general of this book。 Levi was fine but did not make up for the annoyingness of Astrid。

Divisha ，

Nothing newNothing I haven’t read before。 Though I am still interested in continuing the series。 I did like Astrid a lot:）

in love 🥰 Increíble pero cierto， he leído varios libros de Rina Kent pero nunca había comenzado su serie estelar。 Ya a Levi y Astrid los había leído en "Empire of Hate" así que cuando comencé esta lectura más o menos ya sabía de ellos。 Ay dios que libro más bello！！！！ Astrid es una chica muy sencilla， está rodeada de opulencia pero en realidad a ella eso no le importa， el arte es su pasión， inspirada siempre por su madre fallecida tres años atrás。 Su entorno es bastante difícil， no se lleva bien in love 🥰 Increíble pero cierto， he leído varios libros de Rina Kent pero nunca había comenzado su serie estelar。 Ya a Levi y Astrid los había leído en "Empire of Hate" así que cuando comencé esta lectura más o menos ya sabía de ellos。 Ay dios que libro más bello！！！！ Astrid es una chica muy sencilla， está rodeada de opulencia pero en realidad a ella eso no le importa， el arte es su pasión， inspirada siempre por su madre fallecida tres años atrás。 Su entorno es bastante difícil， no se lleva bien con la familia de su padre ni es muy dada a los amigos en el colegio。 Su mejor amigo Daniel la lleva un día a una fiesta en donde prácticamente la abandona y la deja a la merced de Levi， el chico más cruel， despiadado y popular de la escuela。 Entre ellos nace una atracción que cuesta mucho para ambos aceptar。Les digo algo， a mi Levi me resultó lo más romántico del mundo！ Dentro de su dureza hay un corazón y una honestidad maravillosa。Los amé a todos， disfruté horrores esta lectura y me tomare mi tiempo para continuar esta serie que fue el inicio de todo。 。。。more
