Into the Fire by Stefanie Medrek
Queen B’s Decree: I’m all about a rebellion plot device. Secret underground rebellion fighting against an overreaching organization? Yes please. Into the Fire gave me some nostalgic vibes, similar to Divergent and Hunger Games. Mel and Tommy definitely have some instalove going on, but I get it. They’re in the midst of this crazy, underground […]
Love and Other Cages by Emilia Ares
Queen B’s Decree: Love and Other Cages is technically a standalone, but the story moves quickly at the beginning and I think you’d benefit from reading Love and Other Sins to get to know the characters better before diving into this one. And by “story moves quickly,” I mean there is a shoot out and […]
So Real by Abby Millsaps
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 […]
So Wrong by Abby Millsaps
Queen B’s Decree: I fell in love with Abby’s Boys of Lake Chapel series so I was chomping at the bit to get more of Hunter’s and Greedy’s story. And I basically discovered that Greedy is the most wonderful and can do no wrong and that Hunter…needs therapy. It alternates timelines between the past and […]
Whisper by Cambria Hebert
Queen B’s Decree: Whisper is the seventh in the Westbrook Elite series, and while it could technically be a standalone, you’re really missing out if you haven’t read the previous books. I’ve been looking forward to Prism’s story for ages. He’s my sweet, damaged boy. I wuvs him. Arsen and Prism together are sugary sweet. […]
Broken Rivalry by R.G. Angel
Queen B’s Decree: Poppy and Ethan had some history, with some mutual sniping when they were “rivals” in high school. After the downfall of Poppy’s family, her and Ethan meet up in college later after she gets a scholarship. And sparks fly immediately. I liked the interaction between Poppy and Ethan. It was less enemies […]
Whoa by Cambria Hebert
Queen B’s Decree: Kruger is my new book boyfriend. I mean, what else do you need? I loved Whoa. It gave me hardcore nostalgic feels for Cambria’s #hashtag series. Kruger’s devotion, Jess’s work ethic and resilience, the Elite friend group that has become a family. There’s so much I loved about this book, and so […]
Encore by Bea Paige
Queen B’s Decree: Encore is basically an extended epilogue, and you know how I love those. It takes place five years after the end of the previous books and it gives some insight into how the relationship between Pen and her breakers has solidified and flourished. It’s a little emotional, a lotta spicy, and has […]
The Society for Soulless Girls by Laura Steven
Queen B’s Decree: The Society for Soulless Girls was an interesting concept: a dark, gothic, sapphic retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I enjoyed the paranormal aspect, and the investigation into the mystery. Lottie and Alice were both very distinct and interesting characters, I felt their enemies-to-lovers romance to be very realistic. And man, […]
