Queen B’s Decree: My first introduction to this author was recent, when I read her debut for a book club. Thus, I was pretty excited to see another release from her coming out soon. Dust Child was both a very emotional, yet educational read for me. I feel as if there is so much I […]
Queen B’s Decree: Talk about some angst. The Way of Us features Heath and his longterm BFF, Atzi. Heath, of course, has been in love with her for years but has never told or shown her his feelings. And frankly, both of them were so messed up from traumatic events from their respective childhoods, telling […]
Queen B’s Decree: Well. I think I’ve met my limit. The Tangle of Awful was taboo with both stepfather and stepbrother as love interests, nothing I wasn’t prepared for. Until about 85% and the twist was revealed. And that twist? Kinda fucking gross. Sequence of events: And there you go. The Tangle of Awful is […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m trying to branch out this year and read new to me authors and genres I don’t often read. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is about a family and what happens to them after 13 year-old Ruthy goes missing. Ruthy’s two sisters, Nina and Jessica, see a woman named Ruby on a […]
Queen B’s Decree: An Unexpected Chance was a light and refreshing read. No third act break-up, no major miscommunications trope, plenty of steam. The romance is a bit instalove, but what else do you expect from the Insta-Spark Collection? It doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Simon and Amy are adorably together, and Mia (Simon’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: Something Wild & Wonderful was a beautiful and emotional journey. Alexei and Ben meet while they are hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, an over 2500 mile length hike that spans from Southern California all the way to Canada. For Ben, it’s his last big adventure before he starts his new career as […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put Missing Clarissa down. While I found the mystery to be engaging, what kept me hooked were Cam and Blair. I loved their characterizations. They both just felt so real. So many times Cam’s thoughts made me laugh out loud, or think back to my teenage years. In short, those […]
Queen B’s Decree: I just couldn’t get into The Friendship Breakup. I don’t think I’m the right audience for this book. Our main character Fallon is being ghosted by her “best mom friend” and being excluded from the mom group and doesn’t know why. Does she have a conversation with any of them about this? […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Dalwick Demon was originally featured in a Monsters in Love Anthology and was restructured as a novella, but it still is a relatively quick and short read. It suffers a bit, like all novellas do, from the minimal character and relationship development. But for a short story? It’s fun and spicy. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I got sucked into The Woman in the Library immediately. I found it so fascinating. The main story is essentially a murder mystery being written, while the secondary story is all about Leo, a beta reader for the “author” Hannah. I was intrigued by all the characters; how they are all drawn […]
