Queen Reviews

So I listened to this book and the narration was amazing!! Joe Arden put his whole budussy in this narration ok!! Out was great. The story was a good dark romance read. I found myself rooting for Christian the whole way even though he is indeed a murderer. Like make no mistake about that. I was rooting for him to get the girl. The father in this one though was also really good. He didn't have many scenes but he made the most of them while there and really left an impact. I was not prepared for that ending. I knew this was a tragedy but my goodness. I didn't think it would go the way it went!! I really thought the FMC was going to be the problem but... yeah that didn't happen. Also the reveals!! Omg yall, I wasn't ready. Truly. This will definitely have an impression.  The spice was good! The characters had chemistry and they were everywhere. 3 almost 4 out of 5 for spice. Overall I enjoyed this read even though it hurt. I have it a 4 because I a hooked from ...

 I really enjoyed re-reading this and getting back into this world but man was this hard. This was such an emotional ride that we went on. Watching Dianna deal with her grief over Gabi was so hard. It felt so real though and knowing that there was someone like Samkiel out there who believed in her was so powerful. I really, really enjoyed reading this. Then I cried at the end. You really feel for Dianna and grief is such a relatable thing. We all handle it differently and when you are a being of such power that makes it that much more intense. Watching her get through this slowly but surely with the help of the other celestials and Samkiel was so...emotional. The note, the star oh my gosh how my heart just broke and I cried right there with Dianna. Then the ending happened and now I don't know what to do! Everything has been turned upside down and where things will go, no one knows! There is so much that gets revealed in this book! There are so many more questions that I have now a...

 This book had a lot going on. The story is definitely there and interesting with how everyone is somehow connected to each other. However, there is so much happening. I wish that some of it was spaced out a little more. Let us breath in the events that just happened before something else happened. We also don't really get the opportunity to dislike someone. Zurie gets some time in this book, Keres gets some time and Azrael as well, which makes it hard to strongly dislike them when we see them do bad things to our MCs. Who do you root for in situations like this? It made it feel like less of the story of our MCs and more of a story of this world. Which I'm ok with, it was just a big change from the first book where we were mainly with the MCs and viewed the world through their eyes. I would like to get to the next book to see how things wrap up for some of the characters that we encountered in this book. Things are not settled in the realms and I can't wait to see if we get...

 December was a great month, reading-wise for me. I was able to get through 16 books! I mean compared to some of the last few months this was insane! I was am proud of myself! I am hoping that this trend will continue! Although this month has definitely shown me that I really like PNR and fantasy unless it's mafia/crime/dark contemporary romance. The need for escapism is apparently real with me lol. I have started to pull back some on the ARCs. I am very big on going with the flow and sometimes, the window that authors give can be too short for me. However, if you have an ARC in need of reading and will have it available more than 2 weeks before release, I'm your girl! These books this month have almost felt cathartic. From crying over a great love lost (TWICE) to the excitement of one of my favorite series getting closer to the end. This month was one of the books...literally. Let's see what I was able to read this month!               ...

Out of the trilogy of books, I think this one was probably the weakest. I enjoyed seeing Seravek and Amnhuset get together but the journey there was long!! We took many a detour on our quest to see these two together. From getting chased by residual Galla to getting kidnapped by mercenaries and a jealous king, we were everywhere! These two are definitely not a couple to be messed with. They are both battle hardened warriors who didnt fail to fight off many obstacles in this book. I think the only reason this one felt weak is that there felt like so much more that could have been answered.  Will Megiddo stay imprisoned with the Galla despite haunting the living Wraith Kings? If they do get back together to attempt to free him, what does that mean for the rest of the kingdoms? Can they even become the Kings again? Like I have questions!! They dropped the rarity of children being born to mixed couples and then left my mouth catching flies when that wasn't explored!! I'...

 I liked this book! Even though the characters were 25 and sometimes acted like they were teenagers. I will say that Rennick is my kinda guy. In books that is. In reality he's a lil cray for sure. I really enjoyed his savagery. He was willing to do whatever it took when it came to his mate. I actually enjoyed the beginning a lot. Them leading separate lives and having to send notes to each other through out the years until they could be together was so cute. Even though most of the notes weren't that long, getting to see both sides of the notes was just so endearing. Once they finally got together I was surprised that I was really on team Rennick so hard! He was just a guy trying to get to his mate and hoped that everything worked out. I liked that he wasn't one of those characters who was unhappy with the fact that his mate was human and just accepted it for what it was. I would love to get a story for Finn. He was the bestie that we all need. Though there was times that I...
