#RSFave & ARC Review | The Queen by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The King must have his Queen….

Bestowed the forbidden Summer’s Kiss by the King of the Summer fae, Brighton Jussier is no longer just human. What she is, what she will become, no one knows for sure, but that isn’t her biggest concern at the moment. Now Caden, the King, refuses to let her go, even at the cost of his Court. When the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, both Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable—not just to survive themselves, but also to save mankind from the evil that threatens the world.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series.

This spin-off of sorts from JLA’s Wicked series is the very reason why I’ve decided to wait until it’s finished to start. Cliffhangers, they’re not all crazy, but JLA always gives us the best stories and I’m always wanting more at the end. Quick note: this book cannot be read as a standalone, it’s part of the Wicked series and recommend going back to the very beginning.

In true fashion with Brighton and Caden’s story, things pick up right where they left off in The King It’s been so long since I’ve read that I was caught a little off-guard, but I quickly hopped back on the train and remembered right away.
Caden’s character development through the past 3 novellas have seriously been the best thing ever. I love him so much and is ranking up there with my favorite JLA heroes with Aiden St. Delphi (The Covenant series) being my #1. My goodness, just seeing his emotions come out whenever it pertains to Brighton is absolutely everything. I hate that he makes you wait in anticipation before he says anything that give your heart the badum.

Brighton … honestly got a little frustrated with her and some of her actions, but they all came from a good place because she loves Caden so much. And she would literally do ANYTHING for him, even remove herself from the picture. The fae does not deserve and that’s all I have to say about that.

Such a great conclusion and with the way things ended, I’m hoping this isn’t the end of this world. Maybe someday, I’ll be ready.
