Queen B’s Decree: I do sometimes read something that is not a romance or fantasy, even though it is rare. The Teacher of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Fredy Hirsch, a 20-something young gay Jewish man who ends up being transported to Auschwitz. He was a teacher before being detained, and it’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: This is a bit of a two for one review, so I’ll differentiate. Caught Up: This was a DNF for me, mostly because I just wasn’t super interested in the characters. And not sure what this says about me, but having the FMC be a sex worker just wasn’t for me. There […]
Queen B’s Decree: Queerleaders is a bit like gay Bring it On…and despite my anti-athleticism, I was super into that movie. Side note, there is one song on the soundtrack that rolls through my head regularly. Davie was an interesting character. I fully resonate with her need to take it all on herself, how hard […]
Queen B’s Decree: Married to the Mafia did not take itself too seriously and that’s what made it such a fun time. Daisy stumbles upon a dead bride while working at a wedding, and the groom needs to be married for mafia reasons (just go with it) so he picks her to be his new […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a fake dating trope, and when the FMC is in the medical field (and the information is accurate????), I’m all in. I think what I enjoyed the most in this book was the accuracy in Isa’s parents’ expectations. As the eldest daughter, I resonated with Isa’s struggles to be the […]
Queen B’s Decree: I devoured this one, everything just worked so well. There’s mental health representation, discussions of childhood trauma, the adjustment of aging parents. And yet, it still felt like such a light and cozy read? The characters fit together so well. Summer really felt like their glue, providing Jae, Mercer, and Lucien with […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fated mates between a witch and a nonbinary cursed werewolf who “hate” each other? Sign me up. I also listened to the prequel, Of Melodies and Maledictions. It explains more why Scythe and Talon have such animosity between them. Even after years, the chemistry between them still runs hot and they are […]
Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed getting to know these characters. Aurora was interesting. It’s like she’s made it to her mid-thirties before realizing that most of her life choices haven’t really been for herself. She’s fallen into her job that she never intended to stay at while watching her friends fall in love while she’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: This story was so comforting. It has the same vibes as the Spellshop or Howl’s Moving Castle, and those are my kryptonite. A great mix of found family, cozy fantasy, magical world building, mystery, and just a hint of romance, I couldn’t put this one down. Evie was such a great character. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have loved most every SJ Tilly book I have read, so I was super excited when I heard she was venturing into my favorite subgenre, paranormal romance. And this one started off well. Fated mates is so my jam. Both Volik and Nix have this weird feeling, that culminates into a […]
