The King's Men (All For The Game #3)

-
Blurb

Neil Josten is out of time. He knew when he came to PSU he wouldn't survive the year, but with his death right around the corner he's got more reasons than ever to live. 

Befriending the Foxes was inadvisable. Kissing one is unthinkable. Neil should know better than to get involved with anyone this close to the end, but Andrew's never been the easiest person to walk away from. If they both say it doesn't mean anything, maybe Neil won't regret losing it, but the one person Neil can't lie to is himself.  

He's got promises to keep and a team to get to championships if he can just outrun Riko a little longer, but Riko's not the only monster in Neil's life. The truth might get them all killed—or be Neil's one shot at getting out of this alive.

My Review 

In the third book, Neil takes us on a wild ride! He undergoes a profound transformation, shedding his quiet facade to emerge as a formidable leader, confronting both his past and present with newfound courage. The stakes are higher than ever as he grapples with a monstrous figure from his past, while also striving to unify his team for the challenges ahead.

This book delves into even darker territories, with a level of gore that hits hard, especially for a young adult novel. Yet amidst the bloodshed, the team grows stronger, their jagged pieces fitting together, with even Kevin finding a backbone.

The final match is a gripping spectacle, leaving readers cheering as if watching a live event.

The emotional journey of the characters is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, as they endure trials that test their strength and resilience. The growth of Andrew, Neil, and Kevin is particularly noteworthy, with each facing their demons and emerging stronger for it.

The camaraderie among the team is heartwarming, with moments of laughter and tears that resonate deeply. Even the sport of EXY becomes enthralling, drawing readers into the intensity of the matches, cheering alongside the characters.

Now, about Andrew – talk about a character who steals the show! He's completely unique, completely enigmatic, and completely captivating. And don't even get me started on the chemistry between him and Neil! The angst, the trauma, the PROTECTIVENESS– it's like catnip for drama lovers like me! *chefs kiss*

And the Heartbreaking moments, from Andrew's gestures towards Neil to Wymack's heart-breaking speech, leaving readers reaching for tissues as they navigate the emotional highs and lows.

Overall, these books are a testament to the power of resilience, found family and friendship, with characters who defy expectations and triumph over adversity. Whether it's the thrill of the game or the depth of the characters' emotions, these books are impossible to put down, inviting readers to revisit them time and time again.

Oh the fabulous news! After years and years we just get a new book! I cannot believe it’s finally here and I can have MORE! The new book is an unexpected release for me, but couldn’t make me happier!

 This book dives headfirst into the unhinged mind of Aiden King—a man with zero boundaries, no sense of morality, and a possessiveness that is downright terrifying. It’s the kind of dark academia romance that will have you questioning your own sanity for enjoying it—and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m here for every crazy minute of it. Aiden King is everything you’d expect from a dark romance anti-hero. He’s arrogant, dangerous, and a complete psychopath hiding behind the perfect mask of a star football player. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and he makes that clear from the get-go. Aiden’s possessiveness is toxic and more often than not, far from charming—he’s the kind of guy that, if you met in real life, you’d probably want to avoid at all costs. Those grey eyes would be enough to make me want to play dead if I ever crossed his path. Try run, and he’ll chase. But in the safety of the pages? I couldn’t get enough of his twisted mind. Or maybe I just need therapy. Aide...

Cruel King / RinaVerse #1 / Royal Elite #0

I’m going to start by saying this: Cruel King is a cornerstone of the “RinaVerse” and an unapologetic guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, I’ve read it more than once, and despite all the hate this series gets, I’ll never be among the critics. This is a dark romance, and for those who love the genre, it delivers exactly what it promises: a whole lot of angst, intensity, and some serious emotional rollercoasters. Let’s talk about Levi King, shall we? He’s a bully. He’s crazy. He’s a total dick most of the time. He demands that everyone bow, break, and bend the knee before him, and he expects no less. But honestly, what do you expect from a dark romance “hero”? You don’t get sunshine and roses here—you get rain, thorns, and all the twisted emotions that come with them. Levi King is ruthless, and that’s part of why I love him. I’ll join him to enjoy the rain any day, thank you very much. He’s one of those morally dark heroes who sticks with you. Sure, his methods are unhinged, but I love every m...

Twisted Kingdom / RinaVerse #4 / Royal Elite #3

  Twisted Kingdom is a fitting, intense end to Aiden and Elsa’s wild, twisted journey. If you’ve followed them through the first two books, get ready, because this one takes a slightly different turn. It’s still as unhinged as ever, with Aiden’s psychopathic tendencies and Elsa’s blind stubbornness in full force, but this time, the story dives even deeper, becoming more emotional and—dare I say it—heartbreaking. In Twisted Kingdom, the revelations about Aiden and Elsa’s past hit hard. Watching them confront the darkest parts of their histories was surprisingly gut-wrenching, and it added layers of emotion I didn’t expect. While Aiden is still the headstrong little psycho we know and love, Elsa starts to grow in new ways, finally coming to terms with her place by Aiden’s side. This book is more about closure and self-acceptance than just their toxic chemistry, and seeing Elsa finally accept her fate—knowing it’s always been with Aiden—was incredibly satisfying. Unlike the previous b...
