Dawn of the Cursed Queen (Gods and Monsters)

By Amber V. Nicole

Ask her, boy. Ask her what she begged the stars for and what lives now. Ask her what she ripped from the very heavens. And then ask her if she cares. The old blood runs through her veins. Nismera and her legions rule the realms as Samkiel’s power fills the sky. With him gone, she strives to solidify her spot on the throne, no matter the cost. Dianna struggles beneath the weight of half-truths, lies, and deceptions. After overcoming what she thought was her hardest battle, she soon learns she is at risk of losing everything. Samkiel strives to heal, but he has more on his plate than ever before. The Hand is dismantled, the realms are in turmoil, and the one person he can trust keeps him at arm’s length. Can the two work out their differences, or will they both fall to the blade of the Goddess of War? The one true king returns, but is it the king or queen who shall rule them all?

What a roller coaster this book took me on!! Had me rooting for people I use to hate... like no! I don't want to like them Amber!! And Dianna, my Dianna ♥️ Your poor bruised and shatter soul. I feel you girl. I am so obsessed with this world, even as it rips me apart!

Why are Camilla and Vincent my new fav couple?? I can't wait for everyone to be back together. Other people have said the wedding was a little corny but I loved it. Wish Kaden stayed dead, but he seems to have the most turn around to be a good guy potential so I'll save some hope. Also my aw literally dropped when we found out who the eye are. Definitely gave me more hope for Sami and Dianna. This series is making me a big big fan of multi perspectives. Especially as someone who has a hard time keeping characters straight. It's super helpful to also create bonds with all of the characters.
