vivianireads's review

5.0

This series ends with an unexpected turn in characters as MCs. Yes, we do have very boss ass bitches as FMCs in previous books but none of them come close to Viper, sorry to Black Widow, sorry to Reyna (I honestly confuse her name as Viper in my mind for 90% of the time while reading this book and that isn't my fault, it's Spiders').

Reyna is the queen of queens or as Homer would say Queen Devil Bitch of All Existence. And look, there's nothing sexier than a woman knowing her worth and her place and making everyone respect it. And the way Spider just ends up adoring the ground she walks on but still they play and bicker together is just so fun and adorable.

The energy and connection between Reyna and Spider, their pasts and how they've fought their attraction for half the book and then their "honeymoon" just oofffff! The sparks were flying and soaring and I was in love with them and with this book.

The End of an Era! Though they did go out with a bang. Honestly, there was just so much about this read that stuck to my brain. The favorite in this series will probably forever reside with Savage Hearts. It simply changed my brain chemistry. This book however, it healed a part of me. The found family in a person. The trust, the slow but really evenly killed burn. The touch her and die. It was the perfect close to the end. Normally a series end is bitter sweet, but this one left me melancholy for what was.

It was hilarious
"Dear God. The daughter of a mafia don is having an affair with the latino pool boy. We're a telenovela."

It was real
"She takes it like any rational female should and starts crying"

And really it kept the same energy the series did the whole way. Funny, exciting, steamy, and fast paced. It never lagged and I never wanted to put it down. I stalled reading this because I knew it would mean a closed chapter to such a fun ride. I feel a hole where Queen and Monsters was. Looking forward to more of her work filling it.

I'm not sure whom I can file this complaint with but I demand a book for Kiernan! He has had me in a chokehold for like two damn books!!!
