Book review: SLAY KING, by Abbi Glines

Georgia Smoke #2

King & Rumor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We continue this addictive series with the continuation of King and Rumor’s story.  King is relegated to the couch for lying to Rumor and he’s trying to wile his way into Rumor’s good graces again.  Meanwhile, it’s work as usual in this Mafia family and the action never stops!

Blaise makes several appearances, and we appreciate how he’s grown in power and ruthlessness.  He’s also shown to be human, as he respects that his men have women they love, same as he adores his wife and son.  King refuses to use the word “love” as it has negative connotations for him, but he shows quite clearly he’s obsessed and possessed by Rumor, to the point that the beast inside him wakes up anytime someone touches her or she shows a sliver of skin in her clothes.

I found Rumor to be too meek and found King quite funny in that he’s frequently unhinged, every time he’s away from Rumor and losing control of a situation.  And there were many such instances! It was comical to see his mates Storm and Sebastian having to grab him and prevent mayhem from happening.  I loved to see Gage again, after a siege, playing with some eyeballs like the psycho we all know and love.  And I see Thatcher is another psycho, so looking forward to his story!

Another aspect I love from this story is that, in spite of these guys being so violent and dangerous, family is important to them.  They protect those who belong to them, they respect Maeme like she’s everyone’s granny, and jump at the mention of waffles and bacon.

Super sexy, super entertaining, super addictive!  Tons of hot sexy scenes between Rumor and King! Rumor starts out timid but she does like some kink, as King awakens her sexiness, and it was great to see her flourish.  There’s a very interesting plot twist towards the end, very surprising!  It’s always fun reading this stories!
