Queen Reviews

  This was an interesting read. I did not know where it was going to take me. I can tell you, one thousand percent, it took me to the dark side and asked me if I liked it. Whew this one was made for the monster loving readers. The readers who ask, why can't the FMC be just as dark if not darker than the leading male characters. How scary will I like this. Yeah, we went there with this one. I really liked how it felt like a slasher from the early 2000's while I was reading it. Then when everything was revealed, I was a little surprised but at the same time, I wasn't. We knew something was up with Githany from the moment she tells us the story of her childhood. Then to get the reveal, it was kinda an ah hah moment. It was a dark moment but it definitely made sense. It was kinda surprising that no one else put 2 and 2 together honestly.  The spice in this book was wild. It was going from almost the beginning when we met the guys til the end. This one will definitely test some ...

 This book was a little slow. It felt like an interlude. Like this is just the build up to more. I almost feel like this could have been a cliff note to us going into the next book honestly. I don't know. I know that there was a lot of growth that happened with some of the characters. Mainly with Kingston and Sunday. They really needed to repair the relationship that was so badly damaged. Once they did it seemed like they were locked in. Of course now, all of the guys are pretty much locked in minus one. I don't think I even have to mention which one. We also get a little bit more into what is going on behind the scenes. Who Caleb is working with/for and how all the adults who are in the know have interacted with Sunday. I will say that I am very interested in seeing where things go from here. The irrational fear of that one thing happening and all the precautions that everyone takes, only for it to actually happen was nearly comical. Then the betrayal that happened was actuall...

This book picks up from the beginning again when the girls initially get split up. We get to see what happens to at least three of them from this one characters POV. I liked it but definitely not as much as the first one. I will say that this one was way more emotional than the first one. Stephanie had a lot more trauma to deal with than Kate and watching her have to deal with it in a situation where she can barely speak with the others she meets was interesting. It was a struggle and I really felt for her. Luckily, even with the speech barrier, they were still able to understand her for the most part. I think one thing that is emphasized in this story is that, emotions are something that can be conveyed without words. Someone who is receptive can pick up on something that is going on with others even if they don't speak the same language. This idea is something that really resonates with me and is something that I wish others would be more accepting to. Though there is definitely ...

  This was a good read! We are still slow burning over here because there hasn't really been any spice but the story has been good. Sage, discovers some really interesting truths when she decides to go and save her brother. There is still so much to be revealed. I admit there were parts where the book was a little slow but overall it all seemed to serve a purpose. I am very much interested in seeing how things are going to progress for everyone involved. Of course I have my theories and things that I think will happen and to who. There is also a lot I can't say due to trying to keep this as spoiler free as I can. With that being said though, I do believe that the King is going to make things interesting once Sage does finally meet him. With the advisor saying that he is a friend, I think that it will make the other reveals that we are waiting for that much more interesting. Von, the man that you are. I can't wait for more on him! I did almost shed a tear while reading this ...

Another good start to a series by this author. The characters are interesting and the world is even more so! Priska is your typical FMC who has ambition to not save one but all. She had her moments where she was definitely silly and I had to roll my eyes, especially towards the end. Lorian, is also your typical broody MMC with secrets. It was entertaining seeing them in the beginning and I will admit their chemistry almost came out of no where. Once it was there though, it was interesting. This world it's just opening to us and I can't wait to continue this series and learn more about this world. I feel like we have a partial view of what is really going on and will get more in the next books. I like when the side characters also have a good story and are memorable and many of them are.  The spice in this book was good. It wasn't much but it was still good. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Overall, I enjoyed this book and it was a good start to the series. I am loo...

 I am so sad to see these characters go. I have definitely loved Selene and Memnon. Their story has definitely been one for the ages. Getting to read their beginning in The Curse That Binds and then moving into this one made me love them that much more. Desmond making his appearance in this book was amazing as well. I love a good series cross over! This book was a good wrap up for everyone involved. From Memnon getting everything he needed and wanted was beautiful. Even though he isn't out here ravaging battlefields anymore he is still getting to use his skills elsewhere. Selene coming to terms with everything was great too. Not to mention getting to do everything she wanted in this life even after learning about herself as Roxilana. In this one we definitely see Selene show that she is also a force to be reckoned with. Both her and Memnon are well matched and it is displayed very well with this conclusion. It was such a good wrap up that I can say that I was satisfied with everyth...
