Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

4.0

I absolutely devoured this in two days! Why isn't it talked about more? A fantasy/murder mystery blend with a perfectly balanced romance subplot deserves more attention! I found the queens, and eventually the main characters, so interesting and well developed. The plot twists were great, albeit not really foreshadowed enough. I had some issues, including that lack of foreshadowing and not really committing to the main character's phobia, BUT it was so compelling that I wanted to keep reading for hours at 1am and it was super well written. I'm still indecisive about the rating, it's probably closer to 4.5. This is the most fun I've had with a book in a while, and it's so unique and original - I highly recommend it!
