Queen Reviews

 This was another amazing read for this month! Wow, this book deals with all kinds of trauma and recovery. It's not like super heavy trauma but it is enough that a lot of people could probably see themselves through the eyes of the main characters. It's really the little things in life that we go through that can cause trauma that we don't even know about or are ready to realize that we need to heal from. I loved getting to see Selah as she navigated trying to do things that are outside of her comfort zone so that she could become the new person that she wanted to be. She embraced the hard conversations and was ready for a new beginning. Even if that beginning ended up scaring her in the long wrong. Then we also meet Grayson, who is also navigating trauma. He doesn't even realize that he is until he meets Selah and learns that he too needed help healing from the damage of a past relationship. I loved meeting the side characters in this book as well! Everyone was so funn...

 I really enjoyed this book! I feel like we had a lot more issues to deal with in this one than we did in the first one. I liked how much deeper it felt like the author went with these characters and how their dynamics worked. They had a lot to deal with between Shinji and Angel (her name by the end of the book). From Angel's severe trauma to Shinji's secret, there was a lot going on for the crew. I really liked getting to know more about each of them. We got to love them as individual characters as well as love them together. Even though we joined in on Shinji and Takeshi after they were together, none of that mattered because we got to see glimpses of how they got together. I always love getting a chance to see characters that we have met in the previous books whenever it's a series. Even if it's just short glimpses of them as they interact with each other. With this one that was still the case, even though we didn't really get to see much of Portia. It would have...

 Since this review will not be posted to my socials, this will have spoilers. I did not really like this book. It was doing too much yet not enough at the same time. It felt like things were just happening and everyone was ok with it. Like, there was no chance to take anything in, everyone just accepted everything. Then there was agreements over silly things. It felt to me like the author hadn't really read any other shifter type novels before they wrote this one. Maybe this is their first shifter novel? For example, Kane felt very disconnected from his wolf. I have read books where the wolf and the man are separate entities living in one body with almost one mind, as well as books where they couldn't separate the two mentally from each other. When Kane allowed his wolf out to play with Tammy, it just felt like he was out of control and she was truly around a wild wolf. Not to mention her reaction was....interesting. I mean she yelled at the wolf. A lot of her reactions were......

 I had a great time reading this book. Even though things moved a little fast, it didn't feel like things were developing without cause. We had enough time to sit with the developments and move on. This omegaverse read was a little different to what I was used to. With Devin almost giving cinnamon roll vibes instead of alpha vibes. There was a lot more wiggle room in their relationship than I was expecting. I did like the difference sometimes. I enjoyed getting to know this world and the people in it. Even though there was discrimination and all that happening to the demons in this world, it is still fantastical. I loved that there are dynamics in this world along with the different supernatural creatures that we already know and love. The characters were engaging and had a little something that I think a lot of readers would like. Again the side characters were even good! I really hope we get something with Kent!  The spice in this book was nice. I enjoyed seeing Devin and Sh...

This was interesting. I liked the story and how things were explained for the world. However, there were some small inconsistencies that bothered me. Were all the old people who were disappearing shifters? If they were, why the heck were they in a nursing home? The way the world is set up would lead you to believe that the shifters sighs never allow this type of thing to happen with their elders. If they weren't then what the heck was the point of them being experimented on? My guy got upset about one group of shifters killing his family and was like... yeah no one deserves to be a shifter. I just don't see how he expected this to play out. The betrayer.... like... he kinda had a valid reason I guess but also.... what the heck was the end game here? Now you're in jail for what??? Lost everything you hold dear for what?? What was the reason?? Idk i just don't think a lot of things was thought through entirely by some of the characters. I still liked this book enough that...

This book showcased something that we as woman would love from our men...emotional intelligence. Katsuo is a really good man and even though he still made mistakes he was willing to accept and love everything about Portia. He helped her to rediscover a part of her that she almost forgot existed. There wasn't many times that I had an issue with the things that he did. Even when Portia had a problem, I was willing to overlook it because he was so amazing. I will say I was a little surprised by what happened at the end of this book. I did not suspect that at all. My only thing with Katsuo was that he was very much kill happy. Someone got in his way, it was time to kill them. I did like that everyone was accepting of not only Portia being black but also her kids and Takeshi. I thought there would be more issues brought up than there was but it all just...worked out.  The spice in this book was plentiful and good. Portia and Katsuo kept it spicy for us. Definitely a 4 out of...
