It was a thrilling excerpt and I was on the edge of my seat throughout. I can't wait to read the entire book!
Thank you so much for the preview. I am totally fan girl-ing this book!! I love the cover and I will be rushing out to buy it on release day. I can not wait to see what happens in the land of Quadara!
I haven't read the full book, just teaser chapters, but it seems promising. Can't wait to read the full book!
Wow. I read this sneak peek in one sitting, I simply couldn't put it down! The world building and characters gripped me and the intrigue is keeping me on my toes...
I'm now counting the days until the book is published.
I wish this was the full novel and not just a sneak peak. Looking forward to release day so I can finish reading FOUR DEAD QUEENS. My star rating is going to be conservative (at 3) since this was a just a small snippet. Rating update and full review when I've read the finished novel.
Thank you for this exciting snippet! Great worldbuilding, interesting concept and a killer first chapter. I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing!
I thoroughly enjoyed this sneak peek and will most definitely be looking for the full book when it is released!
*thank you to Netgalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review*
First of all. Sneak. Peeks. Are. Evil! It’s just enough to entice you but not enough to full draw you in....I’ve got to find this book as soon as it’s released and finish this story!
Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was given a sneak peak of this book, which means I was only able to read a portion of the book. I cannot wait for the complete book to be published in February, I was immediately hooked by the unique storyline.
Description: Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead.
With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens.
The book is part murder mystery, part fantasy and perfect for fans of YA. I’m excited to read the rest of the book on February 26!! I’m giving the book a tentative 4 star review until I am able to read the rest of the book!
From the Sneak Peek, it looks such a good book. I've always loved royalty stories and this looks A M A Z I N G!
Three Dark Crowns meets The Night Circus. I will buy and read it in full when it comes out.
I received this an Arc (sneak Peak only unedited version) And let me just say if that sneak peak is anything to go bye this will be an amazing book. Can not wait to read the finished version.
I was already fairly certain that I'd be buying and reading this book at some point in the future and reading the sample excerpt only confirmed this. It also, however, made me want to read it sooner. I've heard good things about this book for a while now and it's been all over the internet in the last few months so finally getting the chance to see some of what everyone's been raving about.
I really enjoyed the writing and the characters, especially the way they were introduced. There was definitely something great about the way Scholte built this world and was able to incorporate it all into the characters' speech. I had a lot of fun reading this and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the full book.
I am so excited for this book now. This is a great sneak peek to what is to come from this book.
The characterization was great and I felt the world building to be fairly good. I am excitedly awaiting the release of the full book.

As of late there has been a lot of books surrounding Queens and Princesses and lots of covers with pretty eye catching crowns on them so I was nervous going into this because they are becoming a dime a dozen. This cover also doesn't necessarily do anything for me, it just needs a little extra... oomph. You know what I mean?
I went into this excerpt with relatively mixed emotions but came out wanting and needing more. Now, I cannot wait for this book to be published to see how it continues! The story is gripping right from the beginning and I can tell the world building is going to get even better the deeper we get into the story. World building is a huge factor in my reviews so I know this one is going to be good. I am tentatively giving this 4 stars but my final review may change after publication and I am able to read the whole story! Who knows, it may end up even higher!
This was a very good start to a novel. I was interested in the plot and it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I look forward to reading the rest of the book. The writing was a little clunky, and the world seemed very interesting but the worldbuilding was not very smoothly integrated into the writing so there were sometimes information dumps. I found the plot to be interesting and well-developed, and I can't wait for the book to come out in a month!
A great sample of a soon to be released book! I didn't think that I would enjoy the switched between 1st and 3rd person, but it worked well surprisingly. I enjoyed the plot so far and I can't wait to read the full book when it comes out!
This sneak peek was interesting and I’m excited to read the full book. I was still getting used to the characters and world, so for now, 3 stars, but that will likely go up.
There wasn't too much for me to learn from the book seeing that it was only a sneak peek but the parts that I read sound intriguing.
I reviewed this book on goodreads. I now really need to get the book in my hand and read the whole story. The sneak peeks were that good and everyone should by this book ASAP.
