Queen of Spades
by Jillian West
Relisten in audiobook form!! And my review now includes the audiobook review!
Now that I've read and listened to this book multiple times and the books following this one! I can say without a doubt thay this one still remains one of my favorite Jillian west books! Theres just something about this pack!This book was so much fun to read and was so different than I'm used to her writing. It was jam-packed with suspense. Although, she kept to her remarkable way of writing such a well-rounded pack with the perfect balance of fluff and banter. So many banter!
I absolutely loved Annika and her pack. I have to say I had my favorite pack members! But I fell in love with each character for different reasons.
I utterly adored Sparrow/Annika! From the very first chapter, I was sold on her character. She was bad**s and had no problem taking care of herself. And putting each of these guys in their places. Which was so much fun to listen to Vanessa's voice!
“You needed to prove to yourself that you could do it alone, and you have. You made a life for yourself. The only thing I did was keep you safe while you built that life. I don’t want to control you. I want to be your partner in crime.”
Grady was completely unhinged! I laughed so many times at the things that came out of his mouth! But the way he was willing to just stand by and let Annika keep her freedom so she could feel independent and protect her was one of my favorite parts of his character. He was the best example of a devoted alpha!
"You’re very good,” I reluctantly admit.
“Thank you,” he says, giving me a cheesy smile. “I like to think I do a pretty good job at faking being normal.”
Ward was a favorite of mine. The way he took care of Annika and made sure she had everything she needed without controlling her had me swooning!!! Each of these guys had such a wonderful way of making Annika feel like she was an equal in their pack! And I loved that!
I loved Cassian's character from the start! He was such a smart**s and the banter between him and Annika was top tier! I didn't think I could love his chapter more until he started really following his feelings for Annika!! And watching their relationship unfold and him give in to his feelings for her was so well done!!
Every pack needs an incredibly protective alpha and Kane was definitely it. All the pack members were protective. But there was just something about the way Kane protected Annika. From the very start. Their verbal sparing made for such an incredible led up one epic spicy scene! And I mean EPIC!!!
I really can't get over the balance this pack had! And how well they all fit together. Jillian did an incredible job intertwining all their personalities!
“I’m pretty sure this is how guys become best friends. You saved my ass last night, but I covered yours tonight.”
*Did we just become best friends?* was the only thing that I could picture during this scene.
