Queen B’s Decree: Heart Thief is a dark retelling of the fairytale Moana (note to self: Disney movies lie!!). Honestly I went into this story blind, as I only knew the Disney version (see above note to self). We have our Heroine Mona, who lives in a cult on an island. And while it is […]
Queen B’s Decree: I put off reading this one for days. I kept thinking “can I handle another bully?” You see, I don’t hide my desire for revenge (in fiction only, thankyouverymuch) and so many bully stories are a little lax on the groveling. Jackson? He really came through for me. Jackson was so focused […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have been waiting ages for Marcus’s story, and Do You Want Me? gave us a little tease. Such a tease, Willow. I still have so many questions, but Do You Want Me? has definitely whetted my appetite for more. We get our first insight into Delilah and who she is. The […]
Queen B’s Decree: Charlie broke my heart in the previous Rydeville trilogy, and I wasn’t going to forgive him too easily. We finally meet the woman he slept with on his wedding night (and yeah I know the details of their marriage but it still bothers me) and Demi is nothing like I expected. She’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: Gah, I love it when characters communicate. I was so worried at that ending in Creole Kingpin. What kind of secrets was Moses keeping? Would this ruin his second chance with Magnolia? Ahhhh, dear readers, nothing to worry about. Meghan has it covered. Madam Temptress was an epic end to their duet, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Rebellion starts immediately where Resurrection ends, full of action and suspense. Rebellion was intense. We learn so much more about…everything? The Sainthood, Galen’s childhood, Theo’s history with Harlow, secrets about Harlow’s parents. So much information is included in Rebellion, yet it all felt relevant and I never felt overwhelmed by it. Harlow’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: This went a little darker than I expected. Ella is our Cinderella, orphaned and living with her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Her only solace is the time she spends at the local animal sanctuary, which may close if they don’t acquire any funding. On that note, her bff talks her into going […]
Queen B’s Decree: Creole Kingpin contains one of my least favorite tropes, the abominable second chance. I usually hate it, because the characters’ separation is often due to a stupid misunderstanding, or a failure to communicate, or something totally avoidable. Luckily, this doesn’t happen in Creole Kingpin. 15 years ago Magnolia and Moses spent two […]
Queen B’s Decree: This was a doozy. I had already read the first in the series, A Single Glance, so I was familiar with the characters. When I first read A Single Glance, I wasn’t aware that a trilogy was planned, so was disappointed by the cliffhanger. Now I know Willow Winters’ MO so if […]
Queen B’s Decree: Resurrection was a mindfuck. Dark and twisted in a similar way to the Rydeville High Elite series, but more intense and better written. Harlow is our heroine, and while she is similar to Abby from Rydeville High, she seems stronger. She meets up with the Sainthood boys on the night her father […]
