Queen B’s Decree: We were left with a cliffhanger at the end of Crescent Kingdom, so I knew Eclipsed Empire would be a whirlwind of a book, immediately from page one. Wren is thrown into a world of hurt and (most) of her men have to do some grovel to make it up to her. […]
Queen B’s Decree: There’s just something enticing about a character on the run; hiding her magic/true self, changing her name, keeping friendships at the surface level. Does Tessa Hale have a formula? Eh, who cares if it works, amirite? I loved the interactions between Wren and the werewolf pack she gets caught up with. The […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fan Service felt like it was written for my teenage/young 20s self. The one that wrote fan fiction, that was obsessed with a fandom, spent hours browsing Pinterest for memes. At first glance, this is a lighthearted and funny paranormal romance, where a washed-up actor becomes the werewolf he once played on […]
Queen B’s Decree: Not all of you know this, but Kathryn Covens and I are sometimes eerily the same person. Despite a sizable age gap, we have some of the same favorite nostalgic book series. And most of them are paranormal. It’s our bread and butter. Thus, I knew I’d love Ghosted by Love. A […]
Queen B’s Decree: A monster romance where one of the main characters is the Loch Ness Monster? OF COURSE I’m gonna read it. This book was the perfect mix of ridiculousness, hot chemistry, romance, and true emotional depth. Key is in Scotland to spread her father’s ashes (and meet her estranged grandparents for the first […]
Queen B’s Decree: Cozy werewolf book with a fated mate vibe? And a cat? And a coffee snob? Is there anything in this book I don’t like?? *the devil on my shoulder whispers friends-to-lovers trope* I kid, but in reality the friends-to-lovers trope was done very well here. Raegan and Jamie were legitimately best friends […]
Queen B’s Decree: Forgotten Ashes has this nostalgic feel for me. Shifters, magical mystery, and a cliffhanger that leaves me wanting more. It’s like the author can read my mind and know all my favorite things (spoiler alert: she can). Briar is such a strong FMC. She’s harboring a secret, one that could be the […]
Queen B’s Decree: Maybe it’s because I’m in a Twilight mood, but Other Worlds gave me some Twilight vibes—if the vampires and werewolves got along. Luna has run away to Assisi to avoid her impending divorce, and there she has significant interactions with both Aldo, a vampire, and Victor, a werewolf. I appreciate that it’s not […]
Queen B’s Decree: Sometimes I just need a good series to binge, and the Clover Pack Series by Savannah Lee really scratched the itch. One of my favorite micro tropes occurs in this series: the “FMC has magic/shifter/etc powers and has no idea and gets abruptly introduced to a magical world.” Rowan stumbles into a […]
Queen B’s Decree: The reason I love a rejected mate trope is for only one reason: GROVEL. And dang, Caden is pretty good at it. Basically Caden places blame wrongly for years and Avery pays the price. But once their mating bond gets kickstarted, it’s like a freight train that Caden just can’t stop and […]
