My Review
Oof. This book was unexpectedly dark. My heart ached so bad for Brighton and the things she was put through. Caden and his actions made him all the more endearing. I am so glad I was able to immediately read this novella after I finished The Prince. The story does a good job picking up where The Prince left off.
Again, Jennifer Armentrout packs in a lot of action and adventure in a near 200 page novella (seriously, how DOES she do it?!). I was immediately hooked when I started this story and was pretty much useless the entire day until I finished it. The King is ridiculously good. I highly recommend the Wicked series and the novallas following it.
