Queen Reviews

 This book was interesting from the beginning to the end. I definitely felt like Delilah was a little silly once she was able to get to the school. There was many a times that I was like girlllll, what the heck are you doing? What about this seems smart? I do find it interesting that she went along with some of the things that the other girls did, especially once they said that they knew that their parents would be able to bail them out. They had no fear of the consequences. As someone who was there on a scholarship that could easily be revoked...I think the last thing that I would be doing would be committing a crime as bad as the one they decided to commit. Not to mention, she got upset about someone cheating off her test but not literal breaking and entering. Especially when it was over a guy who she hadn't even really spoken to up til that point. I was giving her a very much bombastic side eye. Ben...big sigh. The whole situation with Ben was very annoying. It's definitely ...

 I finally have returned to the world of the Dark Verse with this one and man oh man, it did not disappoint. Now this book is almost as messed up as the previous books was. The surprise that we encounter with finding out more about Dante and Amara's past was not what I expected. Then to later find out who the person behind all of this was....oh my goodness. I was a little shocked. Then Amara, decided to show us that she can channel all that darkness and be just as dark as her man Dante. I was shocked by that too. Getting to see Tristan's backstory through the eyes of these two characters was also a very nice plus. I did almost shed a tear when we saw Dante's history. Even though we knew some of it from Tristan's side, it was still pretty sad the way his father treated him and his brother. I almost had a theory at one point about Damien but luckily that ended up being proven wrong because I know that it would have messed up poor Dante if that was the case. I really enjoy...

 I'm not sure if I read this book when I was initially reading the Night Huntress series but I did enjoy stepping my foot back into this world. This time, instead of Cat and Bones being the ones that we follow on their high stakes journey, it is Spade and Denise! These two are the besties of Bones and Cat and I loved that they were able to get together! Of course the last time that we saw Denise it was with a tragic event happening, so seeing her get a story that ends in happiness was very nice. This involved some banter between our MMCs and we got some more flashbacks of Spades life as a human and how he met Bones. Vampire politics is again on display in this one and it is very nice to see things built upon that we already established. This book had me laughing and was just really enjoyable!  The spice in this book was also very nice. Spade and Denise both were kinda in some dry spells but managed to end that with each other. 4 out of 5 on my spice scale. Overall, I thought t...

 Here is my once again late End of the Month Wrap Up. Starting in August, I'm going to try to go back to the one a month format. It just feels like the days are passing by so quickly and before I know it, it's the end of the month and I am never ready. Like already we are half way through August and I have to start getting my wrap up for this month prepared. Anyway, for June and July, I was able to make a video wrap up as well, if you'd like to see it, it is already up on my Tik Tok. I'll link it below. So this is going to be a mash up of the books that I read in June and July, I will try to keep them in order by the month I read them. So the first 9 books are for June and the remaining 8 are for July! Here we go!!   Favorite Character  - Ildiko/ Catarina:   For June, my favorite character was Ildiko from the Wraith Kings series. I loved that she was so open minded and didn't allow her circumstances to define how she took in what happens to her. Instead of being mea...

 For some reason it took me awhile to get into this book. Once I did though, I just burned through it. This was a dark read for sure, the Beast was everything that you would think a beast would be. He was a savage creature who didn't care about anyone and would savage you at the tiniest provocation. That extended to the people of his castle who were stuck in the curse with him. I will say that this surprised me. I really thought that the Beast would have a soft spot for certain people in his castle like he does in the story we all have come to know and love. Nope not the case at all. Which ties into the story as well. This was something that I kind of wish was explored a little more. Like that the servants had more of a chance to speak with Fleur (Belle) or Gabriel (Gaston). What was happening with them was not as explored as the story of what happened to Renard (The Beast). Fleur of course is our book loving FMC in this retelling. She feels very modern in a world that is still any...

 I have to say that this book definitely is not for the faint of heart. If you are someone who finds certain things irredeemable then this book will not be fore you. You will definitely want to check your triggers before you read this book. I am apparently unhinged so I just dived in and took the book for what it was. At first, I was instantly like oh no...I don't know if he can come back from this. Then as things progressed between Everlee and Wild Man, I found that I could forgive him. Though it definitely would take some time for me to come to terms with things if I was in her shoes. I liked how the story was done. It definitely did not take the easy approach and Alex Grayson was not afraid to go there. While the story of what happened to Wild Man and how he ended up where he was, is tragic, I'm glad that it shaped him into who he was. Ironically enough, I disliked how her brothers and father treated Everlee once she came back to civilization. The way that they believed that...
