Queen B’s Decree: I’ll take ‘Emotional Childhood Trauma’ for 200, Alex. While I can commend Chelsea for going to therapy and actively working through her emotionally abusive childhood, she was still a tough character to like. She near purposely self-sabotaged and in doing so, was pretty mean to Bas. Bas was no angel, but he […]
Queen B’s Decree: This book…was really, really good. Well-fleshed world building that doesn’t overwhelm you, with an Irish folklore feel, you feel immersed from page one. The prose flows from the page so lyrically, it’s almost like I’m hearing a verbal tale, passed down through generations. But what really shines is the characters. Everyone is […]
Queen B’s Decree: Wicked Serve is basically the story of what happens when a summer fling reunites and the feelings never went away. Nikolai is expelled and his last chance to play college hockey is by transferring to McKee, the very same college his summer fling, Izzy, attends. And bonus…her brother is the captain of […]
Queen B’s Decree: There is a rift that separates our current world and the Fae land and they are kept very separate. But after the rift opened, some humans were blessed with a bit of magic, including Avery. Avery has the skill of healing, but she’s becoming ill herself, so she’s brought to the Fae […]
Queen B’s Decree: This series just makes my heart happy. They are a bit formulaic after reading three in a row, but aren’t most books formulaic at times? And does it matter if the formula works? Our Orc this go around is Branikk and he’s literally the sweetest. So happy and proud of his Moon […]
Queen B’s Decree: Yesssssss, this was a satisfying read. It’s almost a grumpy/sunshine: the reclusive tech billionaire who values his privacy at all costs and the young, new college graduate just spending the summer in NYC. And OF COURSE, Bennett finds himself falling for Efa against his will (very P&P of you, sir!). For most […]
Queen B’s Decree: I forgot how much fun the world of the Wild Wychesters is. Hot Earl Summer stars Elizabeth: the swashbuckling, sword carrying, chronically disabled berserker. She meets her match in Stephen. I never thought we’d meet a character that is more whimsical or off-the-wall than the rest of the Winchesters, but Stephen has […]
Queen B’s Decree: I see Pride and Prejudice-inspired and I go “gimme.” Even my husband goes “another P&P? Haven’t you read enough?” No, husband. I have not. Elizabeth of East Hampton just hit the spot. Close enough to the original story without feeling like it was rewritten verbatim, both likable (and unlikable) characters, modern adaption […]
Queen B’s Decree: You know, for a psychological thriller, this sure had a lot of sex scenes. Ladykiller goes back and forth from the current timeline with Abby’s point of view, and the recent past in Gia’s manuscript. But Gia is basically just writing about rich person woes and it’s so clear she’s being conned […]
Queen B’s Decree: Holy tortured angst, Batman. When we left Ari and Eva, they had just escaped from the Bellators and had rejoined with the resistance and we finally had hope they could be together, away from the Commonwealth where their love was forbidden. Instead, they both mostly just pine for the other…until they finally […]
