Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know why, but I anticipated this being cozy. No reason I had that preconception, the synopsis even mentions a war between the humans and merfolk. But I saw this angsty cover and my brain goes “yes little mermaid I need this.” Welp, this was actually intense with an angsty enemies-to-lovers […]
Queen B’s Decree: I loved the first two books in the Campus Diaries series, and the snippets of Will and Beckett in the previous books just made me feral for The Charlie Method. And I feel let down. Charlie struggles with her identity the entire book, and she doesn’t let the guys in emotionally until […]
Queen B’s Decree: Nevermore had a really interesting premise; bargaining with gods and being forced into a fake marriage and ✨magic.✨ The world building was a bit much for me. It felt like there were things I was supposed to already understand, and then yet more and more kept getting explained and expanded. I had […]
Queen B’s Decree: Okay, so I looked back at my review from book one and the thing that stood out to me was that I wrote “Soren is kind of a dick.” In Reborn, he takes that energy and entirely funnels it into his obsession for Jane. Excellent. In the previous book, he was obsessed […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am hooked on this series. Crazy obsessive characters that are morally grey and a little dark? Yes please. Dutton owns a couple of fancy gentleman’s clubs, in addition to working with his mafia cousin, and he finally meets his new employee, Posie. But Posie isn’t impressed by the big boss. And […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Politician’s Wife is the third in the Tammy Pierre Mystery series but can be read as a standalone. Past events are referred to, but I never felt like I was missing too much. The story is basically an intriguing political thriller with a whole lot of murder and I couldn’t help […]
Queen B’s Decree: I had very high hopes for this one. Friends to lovers, gay awakening, fake dating, POC characters, LGBTQ+…what is not to like? And it started off pretty good. Han is undocumented, so he lives his life exceptionally cautiously, trying to always stay under the radar. And his best friend (and roommate) Kenny […]
Queen B’s Decree: Shattered Innocence is a smutty little novella with a bit of a Cinderella feel. Birdie’s stepmother hates her and is forcing her to take part in a virgin auction…but Birdie isn’t technically a virgin anymore, since she’s in love with her stepsister, Violet. The plot is definitely not the primary focus in […]
Queen B’s Decree: I remember Caleb (aka C-Bomb) from the Reed Rivers Trilogy as the bad boy/hot mess drummer of a famous and popular rock band. So I wondered how he would turn into a likable character. And you know what? Caleb is still basically a hot mess. But that’s the beauty of this book. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Faking The Shot had a few of my favorite tropes: fake dating, grumpy x sunshine, hockey. Kaden is a great grump. He’s so focused on hockey, and he suffers from anxiety, so he does what he can to protect himself and shuts out everyone but the game. Even his teammates. So after […]
