You may think “wow, Queen B, you DNF a lot!” But honestly it feels like I haven’t had one in a while. You know, until I got to a DNF, and when it rains, it pours. Mood reader problems, amirite? As always, these just weren’t the right books for me at the time, but could […]
Queen B’s Decree: You know, this had a trope that I don’t usually enjoy. It just seems too messy. But somehow Paisley made me love it and not care that Beau’s late baby mamma was siblings with Hallie? Beau’s and Hallie’s chemistry felt so vivid. And I really appreciated how slow their relationship progressed. It […]
Queen B’s Decree: There is just something about a smart forensics-themed romance that rustles my jimmies. It mixes two of my favorite things (death and romance?? Sounds bad when you say it that way). I loved Take This to Your Grave. The accurate forensics and science speak, the awkwardness of Serena, the immediately down bad-ness […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have only read a historical romance by Lindsay Lovise before; let me tell you…this is different, and yet, I was still just as obsessed. Gingerbread Bones is kind of a play on Hansel and Gretel, where a bunch of teenage “delinquents” are coerced or forced to appear on a reality TV […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Girl with a Thousand Faces was not my normal read, but one I’m glad I did. We have Mercy, a woman who talks with ghosts, but doesn’t remember anything of her past before washing up on shore thirty odd years ago. So yeah, ghosts are just a normal thing in this […]
Queen B’s Decree: I wasn’t sure I was on board with this one at the very beginning. A rake who plans to continue being a rake after marriage (even if the marriage is unwanted), not really my thing. But I was soon convinced. Alexander is the best kind of down bad. The kind that tries […]
Queen B’s Decree: I feel like reading Robert Ludlum books as a teenager means I will always love a spy thriller. And I love them even more when the main character has a funny inner monologue and the audiobook has multicast narration. The pacing of the story was on point; it alternated between the present […]
Queen B’s Decree: I had been excited for this one since Gemma and Chance were introduced to us in Tangled in Trouble. It sounded like a fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers vibe. I think this one would have benefited from being a little longer. It felt like we were thrown into the story after the prologue showing how […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was pretty obsessed with this one, could not put it down. Aidric’s “who did this to you” vibes, their bickering, the magical world-building, the political intrigue. I really loved the gothic vibes, how post-war everyone felt on edge. Mental health was a big focus of this story and it felt so […]
Queen B’s Decree: Violet was intense. I get the pressure she was under, but really, this girl needed some balance in her life. As a grown-up, I’d recommend the girl take a nap. It was obvious that Theo was into her, I always love a boy who pines. Violet was so oblivious, but I enjoyed […]
