About this listen

Love is impossible. Hate is an open game.

Kimberly

He was once my best friend, now he’s my worst enemy.

Xander Knight is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Ridiculously popular.

Brutally cruel.

He’s a knight, but won’t do any saving.

Xander

We started as a dream, now we’re a nightmare.

Kimberly Reed is pathetically fake.

Terribly innocent.

Secretly black.

She can hide but never from me.

Black Knight is part of Royal Elite Series but could be listened to on its own. For better understanding of the world, you might want to check out the previous books first. This is a high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains visceral mental health situations that some listeners can find triggering.

This is my very first read and listen from Ms. Kent. I received an audiobook giveaway through Facebook Shane East official fan group Shaneiaks.

Black Knight is book 4 of the Royal Elite Series and can be read on its own. I did not read the previous books from the series and I do not feel I missed anything jumping into this book. I did not know what to expect in terms of writing style but I am aware of the author’s note on the ebook that she wrote darker stories that can be upsetting and disturbing. And I agreed with the author that this book is not for the faint of heart, it takes on a lot of triggers: depression, eating disorder and suicide to name a few. I wish the author’s note is included in the audiobook too.

Personally young adult, high school bully romance is not my go to book. My only reason I chose this book was because it was narrated by my favourite narrator Shane East. New-to-me narrator Keira Stevens and Mr. East narrations were exceptionally good. They were so good that I find it harder to listen to Chapter 19 to 20, I had to take a pause before continuing with this book.

Overall you will enjoy this book if you’re into YA, HS bully romance and you don’t find dark stories with triggers upsetting. This is a well-written story by Ms. Kent.

Not For The Faint-hearted 💔

Emotional, angsty, unforgettable.

I was so curious about Xander and Kimberly’s dynamics whilst reading Aiden and Elsa’s story. I wasn’t sure how their story would play out, the push and pull tension was there even from the outside and Rina Kent DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!

I loved the sweet build up and oh how my heart crashed when the first wave hit.

Don’t we all just want to be seen? Even when we hide our true selves?

“ 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳*%𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.“

Rina Kent did not let up- she was relentless with the rawness of her bared emotions- her angsty heart wrenching words battered me, wave after wave, I was pulled under and pulled apart... left drowning in my own blood...

“𝗜𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳*%𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗫𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿.“

I clung to every bit of debris -anything- just for a measure of hope and an emotional life raft of sorts.

For both Kimberly and Xander, their broken pieces cut me soul deep- ALL THE FEELS never felt more appropriate. I saw them, and I loved their journey and such a scarred and beautiful story with a HEA.

The narrators did a fantastic job with this book.

*Black Knight is Book 4 in the Royal Elite Series. It can be read as a standalone but it is recommended that you read the prior interconnected books for added effect.

** Again, this is a Dark Bully Romance. Please read the possible trigger warnings by the author.

4.5*

I received an ARC of this from the author and her team and I volunteered to leave an unbiased review.

This had me up until 4am. I couldn't put it down.

I've been on quite a Rina Kent binge of late and when I'm obsessed with the boys and girls at RES, especially Kimberly and Xander. I've been desperate for their story and MAN OH MAN did Rina do me right.

I may have only been reading her stories for less than 5 months, but I can quickly put her on the list of authors I trust with any genre of romance, but especially bully romances.

There are triggers in this so look for warnings and be careful. Rina don't pull no punches.

But I loved every word of this even if I had my heart in my throat a bunch of times. I've read this twice now and it comes even more to life on the audiobook. The duel narration is a great choice for this genre of book. I'm really getting addicted to Shane East on audio.
