Queen B’s Decree: Haverhill Burning was a fun and light read. It starts out fast with some immediate action and a bit of a murdery meet-cute. Renny is attacked while on a run and our cinnamon roll hero, Pogue, comes to assist her. They’ve both been sending each other looks at the local gym…but what better way to bond than over mutual defense against the dark arts?
The characters are what made Haverhill Burning so good. Lots of good banter, full of sarcasm and one-liners. There were quite a few side characters but everyone felt needed and necessary and I honestly think Hale is my spirit animal.
The connection between Renny and Pogue is definitely on the instalove spectrum, and I’m all about it. Their chemistry is hot, and I just loved a story with no miscommunication trope or third act break-up.
I did feel that the plot moved a little fast at points, but as this is a debut, I have high hopes for improvement. The basics were already there, so it can only get better.
Glad I branched out and tried someone new as Haverhill Burning was a winner!
