Queen B’s Decree: Be My Brayshaw follows the original trilogy that completed Raven and Maddoc’s story. We met Captain as a side character and I’ve always loved him so have been anticipating his story.
And I feel…meh about him. It’s like somewhere between the Reign of Brayshaw and now he lost some of his appeal for me. I was really disappointed with some of his actions. In fact, I was disappointed with all of them: Maddoc, Royce, Raven. They all were extremely exclusive. Although they had discovered Veronica was Raven’s sister and wanted to include her in their home, they still made it very clear that she was an outsider.
And they have the GALL to get mad when she doesn’t tell them all her secrets? GTFO.
Veronica was the star for me. Yes, she was secretive and closed off emotionally. But considering what we learn about her upbringing? It’s more surprising that she was able to form attachments at all. I empathized with her and got pretty mad on her behalf. But I have to remember, despite how mature all these characters seem, they are only teenagers so I should give them a break.
But Queen B has high standards for fictional characters. Deal with it.
Regardless of my disappointment with Captain, Be My Brayshaw was still an intense and intriguing read. I couldn’t put it down and read it in an entire sitting. The twists and turns in the story line was wild and just proof that Meagan Brandy has some skill in drawing us in and keeping us on the edge of our seats! Still on board for Royce!
