Queen B’s Decree: I love a grumpy/sunshine trope, especially when the characters are queer. Our grump is Simone, a pastry chef who spends her days writing and testing out new recipes for a dying magazine. Enter Ray, her new kitchen manager—and whom she is begrudgingly attracted to. I related to Simone; change can be hard. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love fairy tale retellings, especially Beauty and the Beast retellings. What’s not to like? There’s always a “beast” hiding his inner marshmallow and often a great redemption arc. Izzy is an overworked editorial assistant and finds herself on the doorstep of the reclusive Beau Towers: who has promised his memoirs to […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been waiting for Grim and Beast’s story for so long. The thing that is amazing about this duet is that I already know the ending. HAPPY EVER AFTER UP IN THIS BITCH. Despite knowing the ending, I was still on the edge of my seat. Grim/Kate and Beast were performing this […]
Queen B’s Decree: For full disclosure, I was a beta reader for Sarah but my opinions of Omega’s Obsession would stand regardless of that fact. I fucking love this book. So many omegaverse books have heroines with dark and tragic pasts or they resist the Omega hormones. Omega’s Obsession’s Heroine, Liv, is definitely the other […]
Queen B’s Decree: For I Have Sinned is the kind of quality taboo that I crave. Jersey has been stealing food from Father Adair’s church to feed her little brother that she stole away from a dangerous situation. And for some reason, Wesley, a.k.a. Father Adair, knows that she was meant to be placed in […]
Queen B’s Decree: Right Number, Wrong Girl was a light and entertaining read. Sophie’s best friend works as an event planner and Sophie has to step in when Camilla has to leave for a family emergency. Long story short: she ends up pretending to be Camilla due to a miscommunication, except the Duke’s son, Hugo, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I really enjoyed Go Hex Yourself at the beginning. I like the concept of witches and warlocks living in the mortal world in plain sight. And the grumpy/sunshine trope with Ben and Reggie really worked. But Reggie was a hard heroine to like. She was a little what Queen J and I […]
Queen B’s Decree: Mother May I started off with a bang. Bree wakes up and thinks she sees a witch staring at her through her bedroom window. She brushes it off as part of a waking dream, until her son is kidnapped right out from under her with a threatening note. Mother May I answers […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was hooked on Nobody But Us from the start. I wasn’t expecting all the twists and reveals, so I kept turning the page for more. I loved that we got chapters from both Ellie and Steven (although Ellie was in first-person and Steven was in third-person which made it a little […]
Queen B’s Decree: I wanted to like The Caretakers. But I was so bored. The Caretakers starts with the end—the death of a child and his au pair being taken into custody by the police. So here’s where you think: ooooo, there’s a mystery to be discovered! So you start the next chapter, except it’s […]
