BOOKWORM REVIEW: Vicious Queen by Jillian Frost


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

The second book in this trilogy was not as engaging as the first book. 

Drea and the four Salvatore boys are on the run to protect her from the Russians and other parties who want to compromise her for revenge. Allies and armies are rallying around them, but there seems to be a traitor in the midst. 

The beginning and the end were engaging. The action keeps me glued to the pages, wondering what is going to happen next. It's what happens in between that was just okay for me. There is a lot of repetition, especially in the conflict between Drea and Luca. Like Drea, I want to pull my hair out at Luca's hot-and-cold act. I'm sure that there is a good reason, which is why I am going to read Book 3, but I found myself being more drawn to chapters covering Drea's connection with Luca's brothers.

Drea was the saving grace of this read. Her character development -- asserting herself with the brothers -- was great to see. Marcello, Bastian, and even poor broken Damian have brought the charm in this book. We just need grumpy Luca to get with the program.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Once upon a time, I hated the princes of Devil’s Creek.

Luca, Bastian, Marcello, and Damian.

Those brutal billionaire bullies were my enemies. Until I realized there are worse men in this world… and those men will stop at nothing to capture me.

The heir to the Wellington fortune.
The future Queen of The Devil’s Knights.

I still haven’t forgiven my boyfriends for years of cruelty. But after the bonds we formed, they’ve worked their way into my heart.

It’s time for me to choose one of them.
To pick the one I will marry and secure their legacies.

Except they are the reason I’m stuck in my own version of Hell, a horrible place even the Devil would fear.

They say uneasy is the head that wears a crown.

Well, I’ll show the men who think they can control me just how vicious this queen can be.
