The King (Endgame Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Skye Warren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,226 ratings
The highest stakes...

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I'm his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.

Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble.

A trailer park princess.

The son of a criminal king.

We don't belong together, but I'm caught in a twisted game.

His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I'm going to lose more than my body. I'm going to lose everything.

* * * * *

THE KING is the first book in the new Masterpiece duet about risking your heart and finding yourself. It's a spin-off from the USA Today bestselling trilogy but can be read separately.

    Skye Warren is a fairly new author to me and upon recommendation to read the Endgame Series I have fallen in love with this series. I wanted to know much more about Jonathan and Damon Scott and I was not disappointed. The King was sensational and I was glad to read the novella in My Sweet Villintine as it gave the full details in which Penny had to endure at the hand of Jonathan. Can't wait for the next instalment The Queen.

    I was hoping for a resolution to Damon and Penny, but the final story is yet to come. Damon meets Penny behind the trailer park where she lives as a young girl. Close to a decade later, he returns telling her that her father is in over his head with debt from the gambling. Penny helps Damon by being bait, to draw out Jonathan Scott, but this fails and Jonathan takes Penny instead.

    Dark romance, looking forward to the conclusion:)

    4.0 out of 5 stars I can say I hated this man for what he has done to his ...
    Reviewed in Australia on 25 September 2017
    This was the first book I have read by Skye Warren. We get a prelude in The Prince which is the set up for the book The King. It shares how Penny and Damon met and gives us some background about their childhood.

    The King is Jonathan Scott. He thinks everyone should do whatever he says or wants. He likes to use and manipulate people to get what he wants. I can say I hated this man for what he has done to his son and to Penny.

    This story started out a bit slow for me but once I got into the story it captured my attention and I wanted to know how it ended. The ending of The King was a bit frustrating but set it up perfectly to flow into The Queen. I was glad I had the next book of the series to see how it ends.

    I loved this story but it was too short and september is too far away to wait for part two.

    I loved the strength in Penny's character and even though she went through a devastating experience she survived better than Damien did.
    Damien was very mixed up but it was understandable when you realised he was sixteen when he meet the right woman for him unfortunately she was 6 and that would mess with anyone. Especially when it was her brilliant genius mind he fell for. Damien's been watching from a distance and allowing her the space to grow up without interference but this goes wrong when Penny's father offers her to a monster in exchange for entrance to a poker game. Poor Damien keeps trying to do the right thing and let her go but when came time to execute just couldn't go through with it, leaving a very confused Penny.
    I would love to know how much the buy in was as they had access to a 10,000 uncashed check.
    Their was an inconsistency from the end of the previous trilogy regarding Damien and the end of this book but hopefully this is addressed in the next one

    Viel versprechende Story wenn auch ziemlich düster und unrealistisch. Leider hat mir der Schreibstil gar nicht zugesagt. Bin manchmal durch die ganzen Zeitsprünge nicht mehr mitgekommen. Viele interessante Stellen sind auch einfach übersprungen worden. Leider sehr schwammig das ganze.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating, horrifying storyline that had me turning the pages hungrily... I can't get enough.
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2017

    Holy hell, Skye Warren... what have you done to me now?

    I can't get enough. I can't. Skye Warren's writing is my drug. Her books offer euphoria, an addiction that, even in its darkness, its ugliness, its ability to pull you into the deep recesses of despair, it feels so lush going down. Warren's writing is nothing short of stunning in The King, her storytelling grows darker, smarter, more beautiful, the crafting more meticulous with each new storyline. Skye Warren demonstrates her genius in the first half of this duet, weaving a complex story of terror and treachery and unrequited longing,a story with a jaw-dropping ending that has left me starved for more, desperate for another hit.

    I've decided that what I love most about Skye Warren's books, what I find so addictive about them, is the dynamic she creates with her characters, the juxtaposition of a vulnerable, broken female desperate for warmth with an impenetrable, hardened man who rarely shows softness toward her. It's an addiction, this need to see him brought down, to find the cracks in his armor, to see him show kindness and affection when it's so clearly against his nature to do so. Her stories often involve a remote, emotionally unattainable man whose only soft spot is a woman, but where the evidence of that truth we're so rarely allowed to see. That is true for Damon and Penny, and my need to see him succumb, to allow himself to be what she wants when it seems so impossible, that, along with this captivating, horrifying storyline, had me turning these pages hungrily.

    Damon's world is one of darkness and sin, a war to survive amidst the most undesirable dregs of society. Somewhere along the way he met Penny and found in her something that he had to protect. Despite the fact that she's so young, despite the fact that he never showed her that he had any solid plans to be with her, never showed her any affection, there's no denying something was there. And that something drives this plot, holding me ensnared in a storyline that never felt good to read, as Warren's stories often don't, but that I couldn't look away from.

    Children paying for the sins of the fathers with skin and sex and soul has been a recurring theme through many of Skye Warren's last few books. I was first introduced to Damon Scott in The Pawn, a story where a naive but privileged girl loses everything due to her father's reckless greed, so she reluctantly auctions off her virginity in order to save the only thing she has left. In The King, an equally naive but destitute girl finds herself in the harrowing position of being forced to pay her father's debts with the only thing she has to her name... her soul. I thought the dynamic between Gabriel Miller and Avery James (The Endgame Series) was a complicated one. The circumstances surrounding Damon Scott and Penny might be even more so. Their situation is just as complicated, woven together by a similar pain, by a war with a common villain, but in many ways it's even more insane. This story is so dark, so twisted, so gripping, I couldn't get enough. I'm DYING for The Queen, for some hope, for a chance at a happy ending in a world where they don't exist.

    This story lacks of depth and is way too evasive, it's difficult sometimes to understand what happened, you often have to guess or imagine. That's a bit of a shame because this is the kind of story I could fall in love with. Too Bad :s
