Sonja's Review


I won’t lie, before I began Cold Queen, I wasn’t really that excited about it because I wasn’t in the mood to read it at that particular moment, but it was time to get it done and I just told myself to get over my funky book mood. So I started it and oh, boy, did I get invested — like majorly invested, like I was loving every minute, I never wanted it to end, and I didn’t want to pull myself away from it until I finished. Cold Queen was just incredible and I loved it so hard!

I loved the hero and heroine to pieces; Elzira is a complete and utter boss, she’s fierce and a real force to be reckoned with just like Ryke — that man is wicked and dirty and oh so hot, pun accidentally intended, and I was all here for him. I was all here for them both and their story, it’s definitely my favorite K. Webster book so far this year! Cold Queen is one of the best fairytale re-tellings I’ve read and I already want read it again — if you love re-tellings, this is one, without a doubt, that you should pick up!

REVIEW BLITZ: Downfall by Willow Aster

NEW RELEASE

Downfall by Willow Aster is LIVE!!!

I was naïve to think my marriage to Luka Catano might work.
I was infatuated with him from afar...
Until I met him.
He loved the challenge of his next conquest, anyone would do...
Except me.
A wife was never something he wanted.
Torturous was not a strong enough word to describe how I felt when I was in a room with Luka. Besides hating nearly every word that came out of his mouth, I also drowned with lust every time I looked at him.
At times I thought he might feel the same.
But nothing prepared me for what his family would make me become.

“You’ve outdone yourself,” he says. “Which Eden do I have tonight? Will you bite or will you purr?”
“I could ask you the same thing.”
He holds his hands out. “What do you think? Am I suitable to be by your side?”
“You clean up okay.”
He smirks and steps closer to me, pulling me flush against him.“Keep playing the cool act. I know it shouldn’t, but it gets me so hard.” He presses into me to prove his point. “Have you been drinking already?” I frown.
“This is me stone-cold sober.”
“So there’s nothing to excuse your behavior.”
His hands go lower and when he still feels my skin, he frowns. His hands go lower still until they find material, which happens to be hugging my backside. He thrusts into me again and leans his forehead against mine.
“You don’t want to excuse my behavior. You like me best this way. Hot and salivating over you. Admit it.”
I shake my head. “You need to take a step back.”
He exhales a shuddering breath and drops his hands, stepping back. “We’re going to be late. Let’s go.”
I shiver from the loss of his hands and the chill in his voice. I can’t win with him. 

  

Lia's Review


Normally I can take or leave the royal trope in romance. I’ve read some great ones and some not so great ones. But when I saw Willow Aster was publishing one, I had to have it. This one, however, falls more into the in between of take it or leave it. 

While the angst was off the charts high, the story seemed to lack the smooth flow I’ve come to expect from this author. Some parts just seemed like they were rushed. And while it did take away from the story a bit, the characters themselves were well-written and I felt their emotions. 

I’m looking forward to the next installment in this new series. The drama, angst, and betrayal made this book worth reading.
