*spoilers below* Did I read the right book?
This was awfulllllllll. Oh my god how on earth did this get 4.5 stars?
The writing is terrible and badly paced, everything was WAYYYY too fast. She becomes queen in like 4 chapters. That's no fair. Becoming queen should've taken an entire book. And you know why it was so fast paced? Because Arianna is a fucking Mary Sue.

This review is purely for me and does contain spoilers and lots of facts from the book to keep myself in the know at all time. It's also incredibly long and really detailed.

I decided to re-read this book only because I need to remember what happened so that I can continue with the series. I read this book in 2016, so it's safe to say that I didn't remember all the details. The book centers around Arianna ‘Ari’ is a queen (red) ...more

Yeah, I’m not going to finish this… Our MC is a really special snowflake that is just absolutely perfect at everything, no matter what it is. She is so much better than everyone else and that is why she feels justified slut shaming all the other women… She has alabaster skin and platinum blonde hair but you know her daddy might have been Polynesian so that is why she has dark eyebrows. I’m really glad we have racial diversity to give us token dark brows and lashes…. Oh is my sarcasm dripping?

This book was entertaining, but not entertaining enough for me to continue on with the series.
At this point in my life, I want to read books that excite me and make me feel the feels, and I think this series is not going to give me that.
Still, it was fast-paced, and the world was an unique one. The relationship between Arianna and Kade felt too rushed for me, and even more for the fact that they don't meet until the last 40% of the book. But I think that that romance has great potential, it's j ...more

It starts out with a plot heavy and a fast paced story that is holding us as readers. BUT...
Right off as readers you can tell not enough sensory details is given for us to grasp this world. I understand that many writers put in insane amount of unnecessary detail and add the whole thesaurus while doing it. Still, this book almost led us blindly to imagine their world.

Arianna is the queens heir and is the ruer of the bronx borough and she is Perfect! For no reason other than the author made it so. She beats everyone in everything and is everyones favorite, so she becomes queen like 25% through the book. There was no real challenges for her.

This had some cool setting with women Alphas who rule with cunning, strategy and strength. I was also really hopeful for the hinted love story, because you don't get a lot ot Alpha meets Alpha in M/F UF books...

If at first you don’t succeed..
You try again, and try they did. This is the second collab between Jaymin Eve & Leia Stone, first being the Hive Trilogy, and I am happy to say they got it right this time. It’s not 100% amazement and wonder to be honest. It is light years better than the previous collab attempt though.

I didn't actively hate this, but it was one of the most boring, mindless reads I've ever picked up. I'm 99% convinced that the only reason I finished was due to the extreme lengths I'm willing to go in order to avoid writing my thesis.

I can't deal with the MC acting like she's the biggest shit in that place and everyone is beneath her but sing her praises. Also the writing is not that good if the narrator of the audio book can't bring it to life. Also if I hear the phase " My queen" one more time...

It did take me more than 4 months to finish it, but it was kinda boring in the start but it got really good by the end.
For some reason I don't trust Violet. I hope, this suspicion isn't true. ...more

Rating : 3 stars
Very quick and enjoyable read.
Queen Heir is more of an introduction than a real first book with a real plot and character developpment. It fails at being complex but at the end of the last chapter, you can expect the story to pace up and actually grow in a real intrigue.
The story is quite simple.

Not Ms. Eve’s best, but not bad. Just a nice, easy escape if one is in the mood for shifters and fae. It will require reading the next books, however, as there is no resolution at the end - at all.
I clearly read a different book to everyone else because this was a bit of a trial to get though and I wish I'd either never started or given up. It was so clichéd and predictable. Ariana is the most perfect heir ever! She's the smartest! Has the best magical familiar! Ever! And the most awesome fighter! (view spoiler) All the other heirs are the worst! Selene is evil because she's evil, Brenna is stupid and Devina is a slut! (an

While I enjoyed this book, I really feel like it could be longer. The action that happened towards the end wasn't really that crazy. I only feel like we've scratched the surface of these characters and the first book should get us some deeper emotions.
The story and plot are good, and I'm interested in seeing this story through. I just wish there was more to the attraction brewing between Kade and Arianna. So far while we have a lot of facts on the characters they are still a bit static and not w ...more

When the queen of all the werewolves dies mysteriously, Arianna must begin the challenge of claiming the throne by competing against three other heirs. The murder of the queen is also a mystery she must solve as it seems related to the instability of the mecca magic that the power of the wolves originates from. Initially, Arianna thinks that the rival shifter king, the Bear King, is responsible for the murder in an effort to destabilize the power of the wolves and gain more territory for the bea

This was hella boring, definitely won’t be continuing the series.

I adore both Leia and Jaymin, but until this book I had not gotten the chance to experience their mixed writing styles (as with their "Hive" series). I won a copy of "Queen Heir" in a giveaway of Jaymin's and I could not be more pleased to have received this much coveted read ahead of its release date. I could definitely see both authors' styles showcased within this vastly unique read.

Queen Heir could quickly become a favorite in my library. The mix of shifters, political protocols, forbidden loves and intrigue is perfect for the first book in a series. Having read multiple series both from Jaymin Eve and the Jaymin and Leia duo, I am always happily amazed at how talented they are at setting up fresh stories and characters so that I never feel like I'm reading the same story set in different places.

These two authors have come together and created another spell bounding book that I want more of.
I love when Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone write together. Seperately they kick butt, but together they are EPIC.
This is not like your normal shifter book. It is unique and refreshing. This book over all was amazing.
I need book two like yesterday!
