I loved loved loved Queen of Roses by Briar Boleyn. 5 out of 5 stars hands down. I have nothing bad to say about the book at all, it is utterly perfect. The spice so far in the series is 1-2, very enticing and sweet. I absolutely loved the ending and all the turmoil and heartbreak and cannot wait to read the second book. I was intrigued by the unique lore and creatures that I’ve never heard of before. One of the best books I’ve read this year.
