Publisher's summary

"Men fear me. Women envy me."

My name is Harlow McKaven, and my life has been hell since the moment I was born. But after being tricked and held captive against my will, I have finally snapped. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, something frightening and bloodthirsty was born.

After burning the demons who locked me away, I took control of my own destiny. I'm now the ruler of Kingston Heights, but that's not enough. I want all of LA and to slay the monsters within this world. When some people from my past come back to haunt me, I have a decision to make. Do I help them? Or do I turn them away? After all, I'm gonna need all the help I can get.

My girl, someone I saved from sex trafficking, and others girls like her are going missing one by one. But I will get them back and make every f--ker pay! Some call me extreme, others call me certifiably insane, but you can call me Queenie.

Please be strongly advised that this book contains graphic scenes, harsh language. s*xual a$$ault, and graphic s*x. This is a dark reverse harem. The heroine does not choose one love interest but is involved with all. BDSM. There is detailed m*rder. Kn!fe and bl00d play.If you can't handle all of that, this is not the book for you. You have been advised. Enjoy!

Queenie for the win!

What’s not to love about a serial killing boss woman who doesn’t take crap from anyone and does her best to rid the world of scum! What do you love more then a serial killer goddess? A serial killer Queenie with her band of merry men including another psychopath that brings so much humor to the book! This reverse harem has all the feels, tons of action and lots of laughs. I laughed out loud so much! I absolutely loved Q and her I’m doing it my way attitude and how when she decides something it sticks! Almost had to bust out some tissues at the end and the desire to dive into book two is strong! Narrators always do so amazing and this book is not difference. They take a story and just make it extra big skimping on inflection including actually laughing or moaning in place! Perfection!

Obsessed!

Harlow is EVERYTHING to me! EVERYTHING! She hasn't surpassed my undying worship of Lana Myers, but damn is she trying! This book is violent in all the right ways. Apparently my bread and butter is a psychotic FMC who turns unaliving and revenge into art 🤣 I'm obsessed with her! This series is everything! The writing style reminds me a lot of the Twisted Sisters. The series overall is perfect for Twisted Sisters, Mindf*ck, and Hades by Tate James fans

Ok so wow, this book has a whole lot going on in it. It is definitely not for the faint of heart & there are so many survivors in this book. Queenie is one absolutely crazy female lead who is absolutely not afraid to use her various skills to her advantage & she is darn good at it all. She has spent years building up her empire, and she has built it so well that the men of her past have come to her for help without knowing who she really is. I really loved the concept of what she built to help others who have been in a situation like she survived from. She might be a bit unhinged, but she is unhinged in the best way.

Cass, Neo, Dean and Axel each bring something different to the group, now a few need to seriously pull something out of their back end, because come on guys! Axel is my favorite of them, but Cass is a close second. Axel is the resident unhinged one & Cass is just trying to do right by those he is responsible for. Seriously, Cass's side of events absolutely brook my heart.

The audiobook for this was seriously so well done! I loved how the characters came to life with the narrators. I could not put down my headphones on this book because I needed to know what happened next.

Rising Queen

Omg, this has to be one of the best take-over-the-world books, with the female character being such a total baddie. I just love Queenie, that chick is my wet dream. like who doesn't like themselves a big bad girl that fights for good and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty? and on top of that is a very beautiful woman, yes she has issues, and yes she is a bit crazy 🤪 but hey who's not? Oh and the guys and the baby girl that comes into her life. now that's a game changer and I can't wait to start the next book. looking forward to what Queenie is going to do next.

Devoured it!

I loved this book. The FMC is a badass which I'm always a sucker for and the narrators are my favorite duo. I have very few triggers so I didn't have a problem but be aware that there is mention of child SA.

I love this series!!

This is the series that had me falling in love with Alishas writing and Jake and Bridget are absolutely PHENOMENAL as some of my favorite characters!!!

First, the playlist for this book is AMAZING! Old school Britney Spears is the best 😂😂

This book is my new fav of the year. We follow Harlow (or Queenie) and the 4 guys she has been in love with forever it seems like Cass, Dean, Abel, and my personal favorite Neo 😍😍😍 all the guys are cousins and in love with her too but Dean broke her heart behind the other guys backs 8 years ago and they havent been the same since. After getting her heart broken Harlow went to LA, went thru some sheer craziness, and came out on top of her own empire. She owns burlesque clubs and protects women and children from rapists and abusers. Basically Queenie, is a bada$$ b!tch!!! She runs into the guys again when they come to her for help. Harlow gives them a hell of a show (my fav part but you gotta listen with the song off the playlist for full effect ) and when they realize its her they don't know what to think. Needless to say, get ready for a wild ride with this book! There is so much AMAZINGNESS that i wish i could give more than 5 stars!! And the spice in this book, its so freaking HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 read this book ASAP! I don't wanna give too much away in this review cuz you just have to read the book for the full effect, but its totally worth the read!!!!!

amazingly funny good!

funny, twisted, dark, not super spicy but spicy does have pretty big trigger warnings and talks about ongoing child abuse so if those are triggers you might not like this but other than that it's really good read
