Queen Reviews

 I had a rough time with this book. Not because it's dark romance, I love a good dark romance, but because it just didn't feel like the characters ever really fell for each other, it just felt dark. There wasn't really a moment where I felt like, ok, this guy deserves her even though he is a dark and dangerous guy. It just felt like he kidnapped this girl and brain washed someone else into making her believe she should stay. Even when she basically gave in and wanted to stay with him, it just felt like....she'd gotten used to that life and didn't want anything to change. It didn't feel like there was really any type of emotional connection anywhere in this book. Then when the random bad guys came and stole her, it was just...random. Her appendix randomly goes out...idk, I just didn't believe it. I guess, that's my issue. I wasn't sold on this story at all. I don't believe that Julian loved her. It felt like he just wanted to keep her as his pet. ...

 Ya'll, I was not ready to leave this world. It was so enthralling! I loved the characters that we had the chance to meet, I loved the fantasical vibe of the creatures and the beings that we had the opportunity to meet. I was almost sad when I got to the end of this book. I did listen to the audible so I HAVE to wax poetic about the narrators. Both of them were amazing. I really liked the female narrator, I feel like I've listened to her before and she does a good job with the characters and bringing their emotions through in her voice. The male narrator --..-- holy $hit balls Batman....panting melting. I mean I LOVE this mans voice. There has probably only been one other male narrator so far, that I've been like YES, that's the character! This guy played the heck out of Kingfisher!! Ok, ok, I'm done drooling, back to the story review. I loved the characters in this book. Ya'll know I'm a sucker for a good side character, and the ones in this book were amazi...

  Another book down in my re-read series!!! This book was another step in a positive direction for the humans who are on the Ice Planet! This time we get the story of Tiffany and Salukh! I think they had probably one of the more beautiful stories yet. Salukh wanted to save himself for the woman who he finally resonated with and Tiffany was afraid due to the abuse that she suffered. I think that this story was interesting because it definitely was giving that strong women feel. Tiffany was trying to carry her burdens alone and it wasn't really helping her at all. While I could understand some the things that she had going on and why her reactions were the way they were, it still didn't stop me from being a little frustrated with her. Of course Salukh was there to hold her and help her get through her trauma and I liked that at the end of the book, it showed that he was not the cure all for her nightmares. She still had them but he was there to help her get through them no matter...

  Whew, this book has definitely reminded my why I love this authors writing. This book was so so good! I enjoyed stepping into this world of unknowns, dragons and gifted. I will say this is definitely going to be a series that I devour. Be careful of  your triggers with this one because it is definitely a dark fantasy romance. Calista is definitely a fiesta FMC who will fight for what she wants and will take nothing less. She starts out in a pretty terrible situation with no light at the end of the tunnel only to be taken and put into another situation that had the potential to be worse than the previous one that she was in. Then we also have Talon. When we first meet him, he is definitely someone who we are supposed to not like. This is definitely enemy to friends with benefits to enemies and hopefully back to lovers. One of the things I didn't really think would be a big deal that became a big deal was finding out who Calista really was. I didn't think it would matter to Ta...

 Well, I am effectively waist deep in this series. There is so much to talk about here after reading this book. I really wanted Scarlett to have some more agency in this book and we definitely got her being more active instead of being a victim. I really loved seeing her step into more of her power. This almost caused the dynamic to change between her and Soren. There is so much growth left for her to go through that I can't wait to read the rest of this series. I liked that we get to know more about the other people in that we've already met and care for. Though the other POV's are very interesting....I didn't really expect for us to get Callen's perspective so much. I definitely envision him being a problem later. The whole scorned lover thing is crazy to me. I guess I can understand that he cared about her but when someone has moved on from you, it's a little insane to hang on to them as tightly as he is. I feel like she gave him a great explanation for why t...
