Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put Strange Familiars down. I lived for the banter between Gwendolynne and Harrisford. Harrisford had such “my father, the inventor of the toaster strudel!” energy while Gwen was very Hermione, scholarship student who is the smartest vibes. Their back and forth was the best. And it was so clear to […]
Queen B’s Decree: Devious Prey was such a quick and enjoyable listen. There’s enough world building, suspense, magic, and just that hint of romance that hooks you. Pearl is assisting her aunt as a smuggler when the airship they are on crashes and they are left stranded on an island with the rest of the […]
Queen B’s Decree: Welllllll I read this book entirely within one day. I could not stop reading. Belle is such a great character. She knows that Cal is being a jerk to her and that makes her even more determined to stick it out and stay. Maybe it’s because I’m also stubborn, but I can’t […]
Queen B’s Decree: How do I describe the love I have for this one? It’s got: I couldn’t stop listening. There is so much missing communication between Nomi and Julian, but for ONCE, it worked for me. I totally understood Naomi’s reasoning to keep her health private, and I also understood Julian’s need to save […]
Queen B’s Decree: I devoured this one. There’s just something about one character threatening the other that just grabs me. Something for me to talk about with my therapist 🤷🏻♀️. Khalani is so easy to like. Especially with the current time line we’re living in, it’s easy to wonder “what’s the point?” So I absolutely […]
Queen B’s Decree: Brazen is basically the first book plot line, but told through the perspective of Aodhan; so it includes all the time before he met Sierra. And honestly, it was refreshing. I loved that Aodhan was kind of a brat. He was grumpy, expected answers immediately, and was so into being fae that […]
Queen B’s Decree: Lynn Painter books never disappoint. First and Forever was so fun. Ridiculous antics, fun banter, fake dating with plenty of chemistry, and just enough real life issues that keeps the story from being too much. Connor was such a sweetheart. While his relationship with Duffy started off fake, that man fell quick […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love that Axel’s reaction when he meets Zara, an assassin, is “yes???? And?????” I’ve loved Axel since we first met him; he’s a strong protective man who lives for his family. I knew he’d need a strong woman…who would be okay with being taken care of just a little bit. Zara […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a character that contains multitudes. Isi is, at various times, infuriating, naive, supportive, vulnerable, vengeful, sweet, and strong. She has the strength to infiltrate a rival court to avenge her sister, yet not the hindsight to see the wrongdoings within her own country. She’s instantly mad at Trew, purely because […]
Queen B’s Decree: Declan reminded me of my husband a bit—the way he got on Penny’s nerves was so accurate. Like there is nothing that can annoy you more than someone you love pushing all your buttons. Ahhhh true love and bliss and all that. The spice between them was so well done. And despite […]
