Hidden behind the thin veil of her mirrored safe room, she watched helplessly as masked men ruthlessly took the lives of her loved ones. She was left traumatized, afraid, and alone as she was placed into the system.
Haunted by the image of her family's slaughter and determined to find justice, Aluxis vows to make those responsible pay.
She had it all planned out but the one thing she wasn’t prepared for was them.
Her five foster brothers she thought she had left behind. Cade, Atticus, Harlan, Luician, and Marzin.
As more truths come to light, the more my hunger for vengeance comes. They are no longer the boys I remembered and I’m no longer that same girl. I’m a fucking…
Relentless Queen.
My Review
Is a dark debut novel by Genevieve Ami Moon. 'Spoken in 'multiple POV's. Past to present presented in some places. Some of the scenes depicted in this book the author has experienced firsthand.
📚“𝐁e c𝐚r𝐞f𝐮l w𝐡o y𝐨u t𝐫u𝐬t”
So I took one look at the cover, read the blurb add dark into the equation and I was sold. I seem to be reading a lot of new authors this year which I'm loving..
This book could’ve done with some thorough editing before sending it to Amazon, was a little bit messy with errors throughout.
'T𝐇E S𝐓O𝐑Y𝐋I𝐍E' Masked men break into her family's home late one night, when hearing the screams of her parents (17 year old Aluxis aka Lux) hides in the safe room in her bedroom (sound proofed with a one way mirror) these men do despicable acts to her parents killing them in the process over a deal her father backed out of. Thus making her a ward of the state at Cherryville Detention Center until she's placed in a more permanent home until she ages out (reaches 18). Here she also befriends a girl named Jo, Cade and another boy were also sent here to keep an eye on her.
She's then placed into a home, and out from under the boys eyes keeping track of her. It's here where she barely makes it out alive.
Another home is then found for her which won't be for long as her eighteenth birthday is nearing. Ok here is where things get cloudy, she's placed with these guys Cade, Atticus, Harlan, Luician, and Marzin, a few house away from her bestie Jo.
And yet again that question rears its ugly head, can you trust them?
So many players unfolded in this book as we wade through the murky waters trying to make sense of the story within. Confusing at times, messy at others, but as I broke it all down there was no denying that I did still enjoy it and I’m invested enough to read the next book in this series because there were so many open, ended equations thrown in.
Twists and turns
Dark and gritty
'𝐓R𝐈G𝐆E𝐑S' This book won’t be to many readers liking due to the subject matter, the author doesn’t hold back, situations aren’t glossed over, they are revealed in vivid detail so be aware of that before you dive in and take that plunge.
I'll definitely be doing a re-read over this when the next book drops. And yet again be aware of your triggers before jumping into this one.
