Queen Reviews

 This was another good month of reads! I was able to get some ARCs in this month and had started some amazing series. Unfortunately that has meant that my re-read of books has come almost to a screeching halt. I have tried to listen to as many of my re-reads as possible but with a few of them not having audio books yet, they have kind of slipped to the way side. I do intend to go back to some of them this month however. I just have to decide which ones that I would like to revisit. As for the books that I read this month, there are some authors that I am definitely adding to my must read list and I plan on starting on their backlog as soon as I can! With that being said, let's jump into it! This month I was able to read 15 amazing books! Let's recap them and then jump into the superlatives!         Favorite Character  - Ondine : I enjoyed getting to know Ondine and watching her come into her own. She wasn't someone who even fully accepted herself but d...

Another book that I don't know how to feel about. This is definitely not a slow burn. Its a fast burn with a lot of traumatic moments in between. Definitely think this couple got together based on vibes because after what Tessa went through, I'd be staying away from men. I will say there were some unintentional funny moments. Like one where they were getting it on and Gracin asked for a condom. I was like sir...that ship has sailed many bruises ago. Also the fact that instead of immediately leaving the states before anyone knows anything, Tessa decides to move to LA. I coulda choked her myself! Don't get it twisted yall this is definitely a full on dark romance. Check your triggers because this one was could be a little hard for some folks.  The spice in this was ok. Due to the circumstances it often happened,  I was like meh. But on the other hand ince we passed that part it was good. 3 out of 5 for the spice. Overall this was an ok read. I blew through it rela...

This was a different read that's for sure. I'm still on the fence for how I feel about it. Lilith shows all the characteristics of a privileged person who just so happens to be living poorly. The arrogance she shows when dealing with almost every situation is funny up until you realize she doesn't have the skills or backbone to back it up. She hates the establishment but still uses the benefits. The amount of times she cries was almost a record in a book honestly. The only time I felt it was warranted really she didn't actually cry.... that much. The other times was annoying. Her as a character was annoying actually.  Zahareiv seeing her as more than a petulant child was interesting. I hope in the next book she is better as a character. Other than that, the actual story of what is going is interesting. The gates, the prophecy, the patriarchal society that has to depend on the women they subjugate for power.... very interesting. I want more and less of Lilith...

I loved getting a chance to meet a human who grew up amongst the Dakkari. I knew it had to have happened at some point. The story of Kiran and Maeva was a beautiful story. How the person who was meant for you could be in front of you this whole time but due to that blindness you could also miss them. It also taught of timing. Sometimes you can have the right person but at the wrong time. They may have grown up together but because the timing wasn't right they did not end up together. Once they were older, only then were they both ready to accept each other and appreciate what they individually had to offer. I almost find the latter books to be some of the best in this series. It's getting harder to pick a favorite!!  The spice in this book was nice but it didnt hit like some of the other books did which was strange. I was waiting for these two to finally get together but it was just ok. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 for the spice. Overall I really enjoyed the story b...

  I actually, am quite speechless. I had to wait awhile before I wrote this review because I don't know how I managed to pick this one up and devoured it like I did but wow....that's all I have. I will be doing a video spoiler review because that's literally the only way I can think of to do a review without it being like 6 pages long. Most of what happens in this book can't even be talked about without spoiling. Just know that this is one of those books where if you have triggers with some themes in dark romance, then you might now even want to pick this up. This was dark but I liked it. I kinda guessed some things but others caught me by surprise. You have to see this one through if you start reading this. You can't let something like what you THINK is happening stop you from continuing. I definitely am adding this author to the ones I need to read their backlog...but I'll have to space it out because this right HERE? Whew. In other words I definitely recommen...

  This was an interesting read! A different take on how the shifter world is set up. There are only male shifters except of course for our FMC, Aspen. I liked the way everything flowed in this book. I did wish that we got more time to see the relationship develop in the story. Things moved rather quickly once they met and they seemed to have a lot of external issues that they had to deal with that had more of the focus than them getting to know each other better. There definitely is some building in this but a little more would have made this a 5 star read for sure. Everything was hitting with this book. I didn't really have any moments where I felt annoyed by anything that the characters were doing and saying. Everything worked with how the world was set up and how the characters seemed to interact with each other. I really enjoyed it. I literally devoured this in one day. The audible was really good and the male narrator was amazing. I almost wanted more chapters from Enzo just t...
