My thoughts:
Whenever I'm in the mood for a good thriller, I know one series that never disappoints - Steven James' The Bowers Files. Not only are they creepy & chilling, but they are also fairly clean, language-wise, which is something I always appreciate in the novels I read.
The King was such a great read! I don't think it was as gruesome as Opening Moves (which was one of, if not the, freakiest book in the series so far), but there were still disturbing scenes that made me shudder.
My favorite character from The King is definitely Tessa. So many of my favorite scenes from this book involved her and the things she said - especially the scene where she talks about baseball (page 142).
I was really impressed with how everything played out in The King. There were a couple times I was surprised by what had happened and the ending - Wow!! It was very good and I can't wait to read the next Patrick Bowers' book, Checkmate.
If you love thrillers and don't mind disturbing and/or gruesome scenes, I definitely recommend The King. However, if you have a weak stomach, I don't recommend reading this book/series. I don't think you have to read the previous Patrick Bowers' books to enjoy The King, but it would be preferable if you do.
