Book Review: Queen of the Dead
Renee’s happily ever after is more complicated than she expected. Her initial dream of accepting herself and her new existence was shattered against the relentless tides of her split loyalties. Torn between her deep-rooted ties to humanity and her newfound, unbreakable bond with the horde, she grapples with who to give her allegiance to. Zane still doesn’t trust Renee enough to reveal his secret. If he can’t trust her, how can he truly love her?
Zane has crowned Renee his queen, and will stop at nothing to protect her. Even if it’s from the worst monster he knows of, himself. With peril lurking at every corner, and the icy grip of winter closing in, Zane relentlessly searches for sanctuary for their horde. The shadow of his turbulent past looms, casting shackles over every decision he makes, driving an ever-widening chasm between him and the one soul he cherishes above all else.
Together, they must protect the horde by leading them to safety before the grip of winter arrives. They must survive to keep the Kingdom of the Dead.

My Review
I was looking forward to reading this book after finishing book one. I am totally invested in Renee and Zane's relationship. In this book, however, it is not all rosy. While they still love each other, there is a shift in their dynamics that is causing some tension.
Her Zane wasn't a monster, He was her twin flame, the other piece of her soul.
I did grow closer to Zane in this book. I felt for what he was going through. Although, he was not the only one. I like Brie. She is Renee's friend and a nice addition to the story. She brings humor.
The story picks up in the latter half. I am intrigued to see what the story goes after the cliffhanger.
