Black Knight

Royal Elite, Book 4

De: Rina Kent

Narrado por: Shane East, Keira Stevens

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.

Black Knight

Oh, how I have loved this series and I have to say that this book completely broke me. So much emotional angst that I couldn’t help but feel lost and heartbroken right along with them. Such a great series with fantastic writing and absolutely amazing narration.

It's an okay story...

So this is book 4 and by now I'm used to the intensity in this series. However, in this book I felt the intensity was lacking.... like with Aiden.

The story starts off with best friends who stop speaking to each other for seven years even though their lives are still intertwined (neighbors). This was very hard to grasp. The story does get wierder and complex... eventually interesting.

The narration in this series is just unbelievable. It is done so well. Amazing.

Overall, I do recommend this book as the story is good and unique.

Narration was superb

I listened to the audiobook. The narration was absolutely amazing. Shane East and Keira Stevens were beyond outstanding. Especially Keira. This was the first book I had listened to that she narrated and she was perfection. There was one chapter in Kimberly’s POV that was so moving and I just had to sit and take it all in.

This book deals with some very hard subject matter for people that were so young. Everything Kimberly went through absolutely broke my heart for her. It took me a bit to really like Xander. But once we understood what was going on with him, things made more sense.

My only issue was these characters didn’t seem like high schoolers. They at the youngest seemed like they should have been college aged.

Love them

This was a book that made you feel all of the emotions but I loved the journey.

Not my favorite, but audiobook makes it better

Audiobook performance was great, but this one was just fine. I like Kim and Xander’s story, the mystery of their falling out when they were childhood best friends to the climax of the story when *secrets* are revealed, but it didn’t leave me feeling overly emotional or anything. The ‘wow factor’ of the plot twist wasn’t a big shocker imo, I guess I just didn’t connect with them as much as previous relationships.
