A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
Queen B’s Decree: I love a Beauty and the Beast retelling, so I was all in on A Curse So Dark and Lonely. For a young adult book, this was surprisingly dark. You’ve got: human trafficking, kidnapping, the Prince turning into a dangerous monster (with a very high kill count), terminal illness. You may be […]
It Seemed Like a Good Idea by Lauren Blakely
The Crowned by SK Horton
Queen B’s Decree: This entire series has been a wild ride, from start to finish. So much happened in this third book—crossing realms, war, dragons, death, true emotional connections. I felt for our characters, it was like none of them could ever catch a break. As soon as one roadblock was eliminated, something else would […]
Willing Prey by Allie Oleander
Queen B’s Decree: Before I read this book, I was pretty sure I only liked the primal play kink when it occurred in monster or alien romance.

Cruel Savior by Lilith Vincent
Queen B’s Decree: One of the things that makes me feral about Lilith Vincent’s books is how over the top her MMCs are. Possessive, protective, obsessive, all of the -ives. And no matter what, they can’t help but be sweet to their women. Adora and Vincenzo have both had some troubled pasts. Adora has been […]
The Evidence of Us by Genna Black
If We Never End by Laura Taylor Namey
Queen B’s Decree: This story hooked me from start to finish and all the emotions came: happy, laughing, sadness, smiling, crying. All of it. Sylvie was so easy to relate to. She’s emotionally neglected by her parents, her friends are moving on, and she just wants to escape and begin her adult life. And when […]

This Wretched Beauty by Elle Grenier
Queen B’s Decree: I freely admit I haven’t read The Portrait of Dorian Gray. So I really had no frame of reference with this one. And after listening to This Wretched Beauty, I still can’t say I really understand the plot of the original story. Or this one honestly. I liked the queer spin; Dorian […]
