Queen B’s Decree: This book had me in a chokehold. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime finishing this one (no ragerts).
There was so much I loved about it. I loved the MMC—Wells is obsessive and stalkery, with tons of “touch her and ☠️” vibes. And Ivy, our FMC, ended up being such a bad ass. She didn’t let Wells get away with all his protectiveness, she fought back but in sly, subtle ways.
The suspense was wild, I never expected all the twists and turns. Definitely a mafia/secret society background, but it never felt like it overshadowed the characterizations and romance. Basically I ate this up and couldn’t stop reading.
The relationship Ivy has with all the boys almost makes me wish this was a why choose trope. But instead, I get books for all of them, and believe you me, I’ve already downloaded book two! I can’t wait to dive in and revisit this world.
