Queen B’s Decree: Sword of the Seven Sins features a society ruled by a restrictive religion based on—you guessed it—the seven deadly sins. Relationships of any sort are forbidden; no friendships, no romance, no lust.
When Eva is selected as the newest and only female Bellator (the compound’s military), she’s paired with Ari. But they’ve always been drawn to each other, so there is so much push and pull between them. I loved the “will they, won’t they” and how they team up once Ari learns that maybe there is another side to their history.
Filled with action and suspense, this story was a roller coaster. It’s dual point-of-view and I couldn’t stop reading so I could see what either character was thinking. With a major third act separation, this book ends on a cliffhanger right before any spice. But it was so intriguing I can’t wait to see where it goes.
