A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting
Queen B’s Decree: As a self-proclaimed cat lady, I HAD to read A Love Catastrophe about a fellow cat lady. Sadly, it fell a little short for me. Kitty was a hard character to take seriously. She’s unprofessional (who talks to a cat in the middle of a business phone call?), awkward, and over-the-top. She […]
Swallow Your Pride by Sarah Blue
What the Heart Wants by Nikki Ash
Anchor of Secrets by Tessa Hale
Queen B’s Decree: Tessa Hale books are like crack to me. I have no chill, I just read them literally the minute I get them. Anchor of Secrets was no different. It’s 0-60 immediately, full of action. Leighton’s learning more about this paranormal world and the hits keep coming. Her relationship with each of her mates […]
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
Queen B’s Decree: I’m just gonna say it. Love, Theoretically is suspiciously familiar to Ali Hazelwood’s previous books. Enemies-to-lovers, academic rivals, extremely quirky nerd girl. The author’s found something that works and doesn’t deviate…I guess. Regardless, I still enjoyed this one. As a woman in STEM, I am always happy to see more female characters […]
Accidentally in Love by Claudia Burgoa
Queen B’s Decree: There was a lot going on in Accidentally in Love. Kingston and Myka have been in each other’s orbit for years, so when they meet up on a dating app they decide…one night couldn’t hurt, right? And thus begins their “no, we’re totally just hooking up, no feelings, except we talk all […]
Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler
Queen B’s Decree: One of my earliest reading memories is finding old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books in my grandparents’ house. Going Bicoastal has those vibes. Natalya has to decide whether to play it safe and stay in NYC (and maybe finally meet the hot redhead girl she’s been crushing on) or to visit her […]
Breaking the Ice by Calliope Stewart
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been interested in Aurelia’s book since we met her in On Thin Ice. Aurelia is a victim of domestic violence, and she’s relegated to a wheelchair a big part of her life. But she’s still emotionally strong, raising her son and supporting her family. What I loved about Breaking the Ice […]
An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena
Queen B’s Decree: An Unwanted Guest is definitely a character-driven mystery. A bunch of different people have ended up at this remote hotel in the middle of a storm. And then someone dies. And another person dies. I was sucked in. It was reminiscent of old Agatha Christie “whodunit” stories. WHO DID IT??? There were […]
