Queen Reviews

  Another month has ended. This month along with the end of the previous month has been very heavy for me. It is definitely reflected in how many books I was able to read this month. I only was able to get to 7 books this month. A lot of them were re-reads and then the rest were either ARC reads or audible. I spent a lot of time with family since there was a major loss for me this season. I enjoyed the books that I did read and I don't think I DNF'd any books this month. Which is a return to my normal since I never used to DNF books. With that being said, lets look back at what I read this month: Favorite Character -   Shara (Queen Takes Rook):   I really loved Shara in this book! She was showing that she was prepared to do what is needed. We are able to see her put her trust in her men in action. She is able to stay cool and level headed between all the things that are thrown her way in this book. Then we also get the reveals with what New York actually means to her. It ...

 I really enjoyed reading this book! The way that this book just flowed made reading it such a pleasure! There didn't really seem to be any moment where anything that happened seemed out of place or irrelevant. It was such an enjoyable read that I just flew through it. I loved getting the chance to see this side of Stryke. After meeting him in the first book in this series, he was just a character that I really wanted to know more about. I always liked the Seminus demon storyline throughout the Demonica series and this one just added to it. The nerdy aspect of the relationship that Stryke has with Cyan was so cute! It really made me think of myself and I always love a relatable read! I might not be to his extreme, closer to Cyan when it comes to that but he was still entertaining. Also I always love getting a sneak peak at characters that we've come to know in love in other stories come back and give us a sneak look into their current lives. That's definitely something that...

 Another book in my re-read down!! I really enjoyed this book. There was so much power on display in this book that the stakes are just steadily getting larger. I was so glad that I had the opportunity to listen to the graphic audio for this one this time. Seeing how everything has been going since Bones was added to the crew with Cat was amazing! Not only that but there was action right out the gate! Things just kept escalating from the very beginning and never really slowed down. Then there was the fact that there was such a huge event that ended up happening. It was such an emotional moment that I just couldn't believe that it even happened. I was definitely right there with the character that was affected mainly by what was happening. I just couldn't believe this really happened. When it was resolved then I was so excited and happy. Then of course there was more pain that happens. I'm going to let everyone read how things happened and then you can all come cry with me i...

  Well that was quite the twist at the end. I kinda was expecting it but not to the extent that we got it. Like there were a lot of reveals in this book. I really thought that I figured one of them out but the other one was a surprise. I'm going to let you marinate on which one of those it is until later. Come back and let me know in the comments which reveal was the most surprising to you. There is enough character development that happens that you kind of don't notice that things feel a little stagnant otherwise. Like, finally getting some confessions from some of the characters felt almost cathartic after everything that has been happening. Other than that though, the storyline of things doesn't really feel like it's moved alot. Which left you feeling almost like nothing really happened here. Frederick is still on the hunt for his daughter, they still have no idea how they are being found and lets add on top of that the mystery of why exactly Nixon did what he did. I...

 I liked this book but it definitely didn't hit for me like the first one did. There were moments where I was like...that's a cringe thing to say. Then the ending for me was just not it. I didn't like that Renee is a doctor who knows how to manage these types of situations she found herself in at the end of the book only to be acting a whole fool. It makes sense that she has never experienced this before but you'd think she'd be equipped with the tools she needed to handle things a little better. I felt like it was very out of character for her and I just kinda felt thrown out of the story. Other than that, I think this book really did a good job of displaying growth. Both of these characters had history's that kind of inhibited them from being the best that they could be and luckily with each other they were able to overcome them. Even though they had their rough patches, their love was strong enough to survive the mistakes that they both made. I really enjoyed...

  Whew, I have to come down from the information dump that just happened in order to be able to actually type right now. My goodness! There is so much happening right now that it is actually kinda crazy! I'll give a brief synopsis on where we are with everyone Titus (hate), is on the move and bringing the war to fruition with the North. He has so many secrets that no one really knows everything. One thing we do know is that he is definitely a pawn for Mother. Mother (hate x2), OMG we know who she is now and her relation to known characters!! Of course we still don't know exactly what went down to get everyone and everything to where it is now. If everyone didn't know already, we have 1 million percent confirmation that certain characters have been around since the surge originally happened (big gasp). Kara, we are still in limbo with what is truly happening with her and the babies. I am on tenderhooks here waiting to see how this plays out. Our badass FMC is still doing the...

 We are back again with Shara and the guys and this time she is gearing up to make her move against the Triune. Everything is not all grand with things with Mayte as Shara prepares to leave. She ends up encountering Ra's minions once again. Again Shara is able to prevail but not before she has to make a promise that brings her to tears to make. Even though she doesn't want to do it, for the good of everyone she knows she must. After finally returning home and getting a chance to hang out and recharge with her guys, she begins to make her big move. A lot of layers gets pulled back when she goes to New York to confront her first Queen. There are so many reveals here that if you weren't ready, you would almost get drowned in all the information that comes here. It was sad and yet satisfying to read. As a mother myself you can really feel for the characters during this sequence in the book. You would do just about any and everything for your child. Here we see that displayed in...
