Cruel King by K.M. Scott – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Cruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is quite an angsty story that had me wanting to toss my Kindle to the side numerous times out of frustration!

Ava is friends with all of the King boys…except Matthias (which means that’s who she is going to have feelings for, right?!?). She is best friends with Theo (who has feelings for her)…and Matthias treats her like the dirt on his shoe (cruel is the perfect way to describe him). This creates quite the unrequited and messy triangle. Forced proximity between Ava and Matthias allows them to act on their feelings…but it’s like it never happened once they are back in the real world. Both go on to see other people…but will these two ever be able to be truthful with the feelings they have for each other?

This book had me frustrated so many different times. The push and pull between Ava and Matthias is full of angst and I wanted to knock sense into both of them! While the ending allowed some of the frustration to dissipate…I’m excited that there are more brothers that books can be written about!
