Queen B’s Decree: Newer reminded me of The Wild Robot; where robots/bots start to adapt and become more and more humanistic and emotional. While this is a novella, it felt like a full story. And although it alternates between two different main characters, and you’re not sure how they are initially related, it all comes […]
Queen B’s Decree: Y’all, this hit the right spot for me. We’ve got action and suspense, murder and a mystery, plenty of steam, DRAGONS, and the best part—baby dragons. I was constantly surprised by the turn of events, and I never expected what would happen. I loved the character progression in this series. Isavelle has […]
Queen B’s Decree: Man, Eva Chase really knows how to utilize a cliffhanger and make her readers wish for more. A Dance of Shadows starts right after that massive cliffhanger in A Pact of Blood (side note: my flabbers are still gasted, just thinking about it). The political intrigue continues as Aurelia, her evil emperor […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was apprehensive at the beginning of this one—Hazel was clearly depressed and felt like a bit of a hot mess. But once the story started rolling and Hazel moved to the Pennsylvania small town, I couldn’t stop listening. Cam is so grumpy and oh my god do I love his family. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Opal is a fae that is supposedly shaede-less, living in the human world and learning about their culture before she’s to return home. It kind of reminds me of Mormons…except without the proselytizing. And she’s the weird one that doesn’t fit in. When her favorite coffee consumer gets attacked by dark magic, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Somehow I’ve been reading a bunch of sci-fi and space-y books recently, and I’m not at all mad about it. Leeta Simtar is about a hybrid alien girl who doesn’t fit in on her own planet, Fure. While on a mission in space, she discovers the reason why, and eventually makes her […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Babylonian Chronicles is a novella where the action just doesn’t stop. It’s split into a few different parts, and each part chronicles (tee hee, tee hee) a different event taking place on the asteroid they’re located on. Salaam, Sara, and Calager are the main characters we meet and the story flips […]
Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know why, but I anticipated this being cozy. No reason I had that preconception, the synopsis even mentions a war between the humans and merfolk. But I saw this angsty cover and my brain goes “yes little mermaid I need this.” Welp, this was actually intense with an angsty enemies-to-lovers […]
Queen B’s Decree: I loved the first two books in the Campus Diaries series, and the snippets of Will and Beckett in the previous books just made me feral for The Charlie Method. And I feel let down. Charlie struggles with her identity the entire book, and she doesn’t let the guys in emotionally until […]
Queen B’s Decree: Nevermore had a really interesting premise; bargaining with gods and being forced into a fake marriage and ✨magic.✨ The world building was a bit much for me. It felt like there were things I was supposed to already understand, and then yet more and more kept getting explained and expanded. I had […]
