Solange is much smarter than people want to give er credit for, even more so after her husband dies. Everyone except her husband's secret lab confidant Wale Adams. The two of them, along with several Kings of the Castle all must work together to figure out something that could change things for everyone.

This was such a great and exciting read that kept me interested and on my toes right up until the very end. And I was shook by the different surprises thrown throughout the story. Great read and great job with the story.

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts.

4.5 stars! Solange, in her 30s, inherits Psyche, Inc. now that both Uncle Vernon and her husband Emeril are dead. She has lazy, greedy sisters, but a mother she trusts. She needs to figure out whether her husband's last project is one she is willing to work on with Adelwale and the Kings of the castle.

Her sister, Monet, is working against her, but who is Monet working for? Is Harrison trustworthy? Can she trust Wale and the Kings? Distrust and betrayal are all around Solange.

This was a solid page-turner with suspense and twists. There was a budding romance between Wale and Solange, which I wish had become something more. Also the ending felt a bit rushed to me. Other than that, I enjoyed it and definitely wanted more!

Note: I received an advance reading copy from NetGalley, but enjoyed it so much I bought the book.

Queen of North Shore is the third installment in the Queens of the Castle series. It's a stand-alone story but weaves characters from the King of the Castle series. This is a well-written story and the characters were likable. It has love, suspense, and betrayal, all the elements of an enjoyable tale. I was able to read it in one sitting but wasn't ready for it to end.

I read 'queen of Kingston' before this one. I wasn't the biggest fan of that book. I decided to give this one a try, but ended up not finishing the book because it felt very similar to the other one.
Overall, it's not my cup of tea, I guess. The author has a nice writing style but the storyline isn't that catchy.

Checkmate!
Sierra Kay knocked it out of the park with Queen of North Shore. I read the book in one sitting and let me tell you it was a nonstop thrill ride. From page one to the very end, the storyline kept my interest with so many twists and turns that I got dizzy in a good way.

Solange was a force of nature and Wale was absolute gallant perfection. And then there were plenty of familiar faces from the Kings of the Castle Series including Daron, Dro and Khalil Germaine to make this elaborate game of chess one that will delight readers to no end. Each character had a role to play giving the ending a flawless finish.
Excellent read!

I voluntarily received a ARC of this book from Netgalley and this review is of my own honest opinion and thoughts.

Drama.
Intrigue.
Treachery.
Sierra Kay brings it all in Queen of North Shore. After the death of her husband, Solange assumes the position of CEO of his tech company. Enemies abound and keep her busy while she tries to figure out whether the computer programmer her husband was working with can be trusted—especially since her husband trusted him with a secret project she didn’t know about. Meeting the Kings again was the topping on this fast-moving, suspenseful tale.

As I read the Queen of North Shore, I could not figure out who was Solange friends and enemies. Someone was out to get her which kept me reading because I had to find out. Towards the end, Solange had to work thorough some grief with, as a reader, I was able to emphasize with her. The book is filled with suspense and the interworkings of how family cannot be fully trusted. This is definitely a page turner!

Grab popcorn, a glass of wine, and your cell phone nearby,

Recent widow, Solange Porter, and a determined Wale Adisa are about to enter the underbelly of the tech world.

Sierra Kay’s mastery of imagery in the Queen of North Shore is front and center. She grabs the reader within the first one hundred words and never lets them go. She describes The who, what, where, and how on every page with the skill of a professional literary wordsmith. She’s barely laid her husband to rest when someone enters her world with more drama than necessary.

The romance is deliciously served. The high stakes chess match leaves you breathless. The suspense will have you drinking your wine straight from the bottle.

This story shows why the Castles’ Kings and Knights can relax. Queen Solange solidifies her space in the Castle realm.

Queen of North Shore. Once again, author Sierra Kay has brought her brand of a unique take on Grimm’s Fairy Tales with this offering that’s a perfect blend of Cinderella and tech savviness. The drama out of the gate and the humanitarian aspects are exquisite. This is an amazing, exciting and suspenseful addition to the series where brains and beauty work hand in hand with a little romance thrown in.

Her new love joined forces with the Castle to sort out the mess so she could be crowned Queen of North Shore.
