That ending was so not fair ladies. Ugh this book literally had me on the edge of my seat as thing's are getting f*cking intense as Everly and her guy's are trying to find the answers to so many questions and every time they'd figure one out another one would pop up, and holey hell those hot sexy scenes were next level...especially that tool scene, mercy

4.5⭐️ Still really enjoying this on Audible! I will say that the next book is going to be where a whole lot of plot comes in because I felt like this book didn't quite progress as much as I would have liked it to for storyline (my personal opinion atleast). We did get breadcrumbs and some storyline reveals but this book was more about her and the guys relationship and how it has progressed since the last book. I have to say I enjoyed every spice scene and really excitedfor more! We also got to see more flashbacks into the guys past. Excited for the next book to see what is actually going on!

Vicious Queen picks up right where the Merciless Kings left off. 

Super vague review…because spoilers.

Honestly, don't look for spoilers if you want to get the most out of this series. Dive right into the dark and twisty world of the Boneyard Kings, and embrace your newfound obsession with these sexy AF kings and their queen.

I don't even know where to begin; my heart is racing, and it's not just because of the "wtf" cliffhanger; this was a nonstop exhilarating feeling from beginning to end.


Everly is well on her way to becoming the vicious queen that those around her have constructed, and she's taking full control of the process. She's becoming increasingly sassy and assertive, and while the boys play a role, they're not the only ones. She's starting to come into her own, and I love how that aspect is playing out. Everly’s character is evolving in a way that feels natural. 

I liked how fast-paced this was, with all of the evidence coming together to give the Boneyard kings the answers they've been looking for. The rising tensions and smoldering chemistry between the guys and Everly will keep you engrossed in this world from start to finish.

This pair is gradually establishing itself as a fan favorite. This trilogy has a lot of moving aspects, and this duo does an excellent job of ensuring that none of them feels like they are competing with one another.

Everly has embraced not only her inner vicious queen, but also her inner Veronica Mars, and she's found her place among her kings, prepared to go to any length to help them discover answers. The more information they uncover, the more sinister components appear to be revealed.

Steele and Lymari's words worked as a constructed spell, and one word, there was no way I'd be taking part in real life. Reality slipped away from me, leaving me absorbed in the world of Boneyard Kings until I reached the jaw-dropping cliffhanger.

An all-consuming fuse of frenetic chemistry, three alpha-holes, a heroine who went from pawn to Queen, formidable twists that will have you mumbling "wtf" and "hfs," hair-raising turns, superior levels of steam, and an ending that will have you cursing and still desperate for more.

A new favorite dark romance series and a top read of 2022.

IVicious Queen picked up where Merciless Kings let off. We get just as much mystery and secrets as we did before. The difference is we begin to see what is happening. Don't get me wrong the mystery is still there, and you will find yourself needing to know what is going to happen next.
Everly and Saint, Mateo, and Callum's relationship heats up by a lot. We get a more in depth look into the guy's past. The reasoning behind what they are doing comes to light, and we get more of the behind scene players.
This ending had me on the edge of my seat. Be prepared I think this cliffy is worse than the one we got at the end of book 1. I believe these 2 authors love messing with our heads. LOL.

It picked up right where the first left off, but didn't get interesting till halfway in the book.
