Queen Reviews

 This one was a little meh for me. Mina was making me upset with her. Maybe I'm not as nice as she is. When my friend started moving funny then I was gonna have to leave her alone to sit in her mess. The fact that Mina was determined to see her friend as she was before they ended up with the folks they were with under the mountain was a little upsetting considering that her friend was out here with the enemy. I definitely could understand where Rune was coming from in this one. He was tricked into kinda abandoning his people and then chained and semi tortured for awhile. Then it took him some time to actually warm up to each other. Despite the fact that he made her his queen. I was a little surprised by that. All of the relationship issues that these two had was definitely something that made sense. I liked reading them getting around that and getting together truly by the end. Of course there was some fantastical things in between that. Out of all the couples so far that have mani...

  I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. I really enjoyed reading this one! The characters and the banter really made this book! I mean there isn't one character who isn't memorable in this book. Everyone had a personality that managed to shine brightly in this book. It was the perfect balance between too much and just enough. Tiernan is such a great character. The darkness that he holds and the life that he's led, made him a great MMC. Lila is also an amazing character. She had so much to come back from and she did it beautifully! I loved her story and how she was able to find her spine as well as her truth. Their story was so beautiful! Even though the story was dark and Tiernan is definitely a morally gray/black character, he was amazing to watch as he slowly unraveled. The spice in this book was amazing! I mean it took on a whole different meaning with these two. The way that they were able to come together was able to supersede a lot of the usual things...

 This book was heavy. Just as heavy as the first one was in terms of darkness and trauma. We are reunited with Calista as she tries to find somewhere to essentially hide from Talon. But it's finally learning more about Talons backstory that is truly the kick in the gut here. What he went threw was truly terrible and no one should have to endure that. I can understand why he has gone on a rampage but again when you allow such darkness to be your fuel you end up being as dark as the people who made you. He comes face to face with that in this book. Calista still has some demons that she too needs to reconcile with. She does get to finally grieve all of the terrible things that have been done to her. The one thing that I really dislike though, is how weak she is. She definitely has the strong will but not the power to make the ones that wrong her pay. For that I am sorry because it makes me want to shake her. Other than that, I enjoyed this book and the story that is slowly being reve...

This was a good read. It was definitely better than the first one. The pacing felt better and the characters made me want to beat them up less. I enjoyed the flashbacks for Eric and Magnar. It is definitely throwing a lot into perspective. Though it's going to be interesting to see how these two couples are going to reconcile with each other. The men have so much history together and all of it is bad. This world is interesting and everything that happens in this book just adds to everything.  The spice was better in this book because there was some. Though still not the actual thing. I'm waiting with baited breath for both couples to actually get together. Though things are looking very rough for both of them right now. I'd give the spice a 2 out of 5. While things were open door there still wasn't any actual action. Overall, I enjoyed this one a heck of a lot more than the first, which makes me excited for the next one. There is still a lot of development f...

  This book was good. It started out kinda slow but by the end it picked up and it was a good read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing how things progressed. I did wish that things didn't feel so heavy. Not like it was dark kinda heavy but heavy like there was a lot of words and situations that felt unnecessary. The characters had great stories on their own. Mikhail and the story between him and his brother and how they grew up, Cecilia with her secret and strained relationship with her father. They were both interesting. Then when they got together they were interesting together. It takes awhile to get there but we do. I guess what made it feel heavy is that there really wasn't a big problem for the couple to solve really until the end and then things were interesting. Then of course the story ended. I wish the mystery of what happened with Cecilia when she was little was more of the plot than what I guess was there.  The spice was ok. I enjoyed these two tog...

This book is probably not going to be one that will hook you into this series. I'm not too excited to continue. The story wasn't bad it's just not memorable. I also felt like the problem wasn't resolved. The things that ended up getting resolved weren't really... problems. Maybe it's something that is an over arching problem but introducing it as a main thing for this couple and it not being solved within their story really left me feeling kinda empty. There were also some plot holes that had me looking at things funny. I usually am not one to see plot holes immediately but even i was like ....uhhh what. Like how Brielle brought up poison being how an alpha was killed to Kane and then later bringing it up like it was a question.  You just told Kane that's what happened! Idk this book just wasn't for me. I wanted to like it more because I love shifter books but...it just didn't hold my interest.  The spice was kinda lackluster. Like it was...
