Queen B’s Decree: I went into this thinking “ohhhh, a murdery thriller” and was faced with animal abuse and cruelty from our main narrator very early on. And I guess I’ve discovered that’s a hard stop for me. So make note: trigger warning. Did not finish. Book: The Nail Salon by Natalie TambiniSeries: standaloneGenre: ThrillerHotness: […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve had You’ll Be the Death of Me sitting on my TBR cart for ages until I discovered my library had it in audiobook. Truthfully, I feel like I’ve unlocked a life pro-tip with audiobooks. You’ll Be the Death of Me takes place over one single day, when three “used-to-be” best friends […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been very open about my love of the movie The Mummy. It’s got nearly everything I need. Heir of Ra has The Mummy vibes that sucked me in. Good world building, interesting mythology and history, full speed action and suspense. Curses! Intrigue! Bad guys! What else do you need? The storyline […]
Queen B’s Decree: One Last Stop was on my “23 Books in 2023” list, and for some reason, I just kept putting it off. Until I discovered audiobooks. And found out my library had an audio copy. I didn’t really read the blurb before listening, so I was a little surprised to find One Last […]
Queen B’s Decree: I usually avoid the second chance romance trope, but I was feeling like I needed some angst. Tell it to My Heart soothed that itch. It was basically everything I want from a Siobhan Davis novel: Before I knew it, I had finished Tell it to My Heart in one sitting. Another […]
Queen B’s Decree: Genna Black had a really cute novella last fall, so when I heard she was writing a serial killer romance, I ran to sign up. I mean, what’s not irresistible about a crazy man who hates everyone except you? There’s definitely a bit of an instalove feel to No Small Sin, but […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was extremely tempted by the concept of Slice of Temptation. Childhood sweetheart cheats on you when you’re a teenager and has a child with another woman. 25 years later, that same child becomes your boyfriend…except you don’t realize the connection. Can we say D.R.A.M.A??? Yes, please. There was plenty of drama, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know what I expected from The Change, but it wasn’t all the man hating. Literally every male side character was a terrible person. Either a cheating husband, or a misogynist utilizing weaponized incompetence, or the HOA president wielding his power like a dictator. And I don’t vibe with that. So […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love Murder, She Wrote. I used to watch reruns with my mom and I still enjoy it to this day. So it’s no surprise I bought this immediately when I saw it. And yet….disappointment abounds. This felt chaotic, with the plot going in so many directions. And so many manipulative characters. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fake dating is one of the best tropes and The Fiancée Farce did it well. Over the top, a little cheesy, a bit instalove-y; all the things I love in a fluffy RomCom. Despite the instalove-y feel, this is a bit of a slow burn, but the spice is worth the wait. […]
