#BookReview: Blood Queen by Caitlin Denman

Synopsis: Death gave her the throne, now death is how she’ll keep it.

She may be called the Blood Queen, but Layla will do anything for her kingdom's peace.

As queen of a kingdom plagued by murders, Layla struggles to live up to the expectations her parents had of her. Whispers of rebellion and dissent grow daily, and a murderer stalks the townspeople.

In agreeing to marry a foreign prince, she hopes to find a way to bring stability back to the land. But, she fears the marriage, unlike her parents, will be devoid of love.

On the eve of her betrothal's arrival, Layla sneaks away and enjoys one last passionate night with a stranger. But doing so threatens everything her parents laid out for her. As more lies come to the surface, Layla will do whatever it takes to keep her kingdom safe—even murder.

My Review: This one started out pretty well but the ending seemed kind of rushed.  I did enjoy it but I think that this is a take it or leave it kind of book.  I do not think I would read book two.  I also think that the characters could have had better development.  A lot of the MC just felt like this was more ya vs adult.  Then all of a sudden it would switch.  So the writing was odd in places.  The plot and pace was ok for the most part. But that ending again was just meh.  Overall, I think this one could be great but it needs some work.
