Queen B’s Decree: Whisper of Weapons was an interesting concept. Teenagers create their own weapons of which they use to call upon or “cast” an animal. Kind of like a familiar, but they have to learn to fight together to be the best…in case of war. There are a lot of points-of-view here, so it […]
Queen B’s Decree: Whenever You’re Ready is the heartwarming kind of sad that makes you feel. Nia, Jade, and Jade’s twin brother Jonas all embark on a Southern Jewish road trip that they had initially planned to attend with their other best friend, Michal, before her death. It’s been three years since they last were […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. While I mostly enjoyed So Wrong, I had issues with Hunter and was hoping for a redemption arc in So Real. That did not happen. Hunter is manipulative, narcissistic, selfish, and purposefully cruel. And then has the audacity to act as if she’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: Maybe it’s because I’m in a Twilight mood, but Other Worlds gave me some Twilight vibes—if the vampires and werewolves got along. Luna has run away to Assisi to avoid her impending divorce, and there she has significant interactions with both Aldo, a vampire, and Victor, a werewolf. I appreciate that it’s not […]
Queen B’s Decree: A decade or so back, I read and was obsessed with a YA series called The Selection Series. A Game of Veils is basically a bit like that…except with murder? So OF COURSE I read it in one day. Aurelia is the second-born daughter of a distant kingdom, traveling to Dariu with […]
Queen B’s Decree: When my book club decided to read a throwback, Twilight, I knew I’d have to read it as an audiobook and test it out. I wondered if the story would hold up; would I still have the same nostalgic love. I learned that I still enjoy this one. Edward is still the […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fast & Reckless is a sports romance with Formula One racing…and I know approximately nothing about this. Unless it happens in Talladega Nights, then shake and bake, baby. Mira is the boss’ daughter who has been out of the racing world, laying low, since she was 16. She loves racing as much […]
Queen B’s Decree: About That One Night was a cute and steamy read. Zoe is newly single…and Max has been waiting for this moment. But he knows that Zoe is a little gun shy after her last relationship, so he proposes friendship—with some benefits. Zoe agrees but with rules of her own. Their banter was […]
Queen B’s Decree: I got The Cloisters in a blind date with a book last year and was determined to read it this year. And well…I tried. But alas, I was bored out of my gourd. And all the characters seemed pretentious and terrible. And you all know I’m not gonna force myself to read […]
Queen B’s Decree: Say it Again is the story of a dance instructor, Daniel, and a high dollar escort, Aaron. I’d say there are some Pretty Woman vibes…but the rich one is the escort. The banter between Daniel and Aaron is pretty adorable and funny. Daniel is a bit of a lovable hot mess, but […]
