Queen B’s Decree: I have wanted Tait’s story since we first met him in The Ever King. He’s damaged, you know I can’t resist that! Tait and Mira have been dancing around each other for a while, but after an (awkward for Mira) encounter, Mira is determined to stay away from him…just after he accompanies […]
Queen B’s Decree: I don’t normally love a friends-to-lovers trope. There’s usually too much unrequited love, or a ton of other people one of the main characters is with, or a big misunderstanding. But in YA, it hooks me. A longstanding friendship turning into romance just works well in YA—it actually feels real. Sloane is […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love the concept of an undercover pretend princess trying to find an assassin. Rowan is an indentured servant (basically a slave!) working as a thief for her “owner,” when her contract is bought out by some random fae, and she’s told “oh basically you have to pretend to be this other […]
Queen B’s Decree: Just like I say with every Brighton Walsh book, I have a new favorite. Maverick shows up to town to confront his deadbeat father that he has never met, and realizes he has four half-brothers (who are very sus on him) and that the woman he had one incredible night with…is treated […]
Queen B’s Decree: You say kraken, I say….say less. This is a quick little novella, but it was very satisfying. Marisol is attempting to jump into a whirlpool, trying to get a wish granted. But…it’s not really that easy, and Neo, the kraken, ends up saving her. Because whomp she’s his mate. He’s smitten immediately, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Sometimes you just need a murder mystery featuring some grumpy old ladies. Peg and Rose are in-laws that have reluctantly repaired their relationship, enough to team up and solve some murders. This current murder is pretty close to Peg, a rival in her dog kennel club. Side note, as a cat lady, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Tell me how a book about butt Covid gave me so many feelings! Doomsdate is such an interesting storyline. Maisie has been talking to Everett on a dating app before they go on a date, right at the beginning of a new viral pandemic. The issues begin with a) Maisie was raised […]
Queen B’s Decree: Have I mentioned how captivated I am by this series? Well…I am. Desperately. This man—THIS MAN—sees Sylvie’s face (partially covered by a mask!!) and uses all his skills (and his memory of seeing her ONCE!) to track her down. Can we say obsessed?? A cat burglar and a man who performs sleight […]
Queen B’s Decree: Two characters sharing the same body (giggity) is not something you read about normally, but I knew if anyone could pull it off, it would be Sarah. Iris is our final witch in this series, and she’s seen her two best friends find their soulmate. Welp, she finally finds hers, and it’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am loving that why choose romance has infiltrated the traditional publishing space. Finally, my time is here. Hallowed Bones was basically exactly what I want in a why choose paranormal romance. All in all, I had a great time and I’m already looking forward to my reread to refresh my memory […]
