About this listen
"They vanish without a trace, disappear into the night . . .
Each year on the center island, one girl is chosen to be the next Mortal Queen of the idolized fae. The mortals praise these lucky girls, but their daughters are never seen again.
The fae realm is eternal night, where disputes are settled by chess matches, power is acquired through the most devious kinds of trickery, and seven illusive kings roam. The fae hide their faces behind masks and guard their glass hearts to keep them from shattering. But beyond the veil of this luxurious paradise, a dark secret simmers, for their Queens have disappeared.
When aspiring artist Althea is selected, she is desperate to avoid the same mysterious fate. With no one to trust, she conceals messages in paintings and receives anonymous replies from a stranger who slowly reveals the tale of a girl who outwitted the fae. Only if she is clever enough will Althea survive the fate of the Mortal Queens. As long as the king who cannot love does not claim her first.

Talking to other people isn't Kate Bailey's favorite activity. She'd much rather be out on the lake, soaking up the solitude and sunshine. So when her best friend, Alana, convinces Kate to join their high school's podcast, Kate is not expecting to be chosen as the host. Now she'll have to answer calls and give advice on the air? Impossible. Then the podcast gets a call from an anonymous guy, asking for advice about his unnamed crush. Kate is pretty sure that the caller is gorgeous Diego Martinez, and even surer that the girl in question is Alana.

Sophie works for the local florist, so she's part of every big event in her small hometown, delivering flowers and making sure things run smoothly (which they almost never do). This year, Sophie has tons of events to get through - including a wedding, a funeral, a Valentine's Day party, a Fourth of July cookout, Thanksgiving, and a New Year's Eve bash. And at each event, she runs into Andrew, the distractingly cute - and annoyingly pompous - guy working for the local caterer.

The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t.

All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

Delightfully unpredictable!
I’m hooked! Rarely is there a storyline that brings the first to a sensible close, yet has you hooked and anticipating the next.
This author has multiple series. Each is so different in setting and character development that I never feel like I can predict the next turn.
I’m looking forward to the next installment!!!

Unique premise with engaging characters
Mortal Queens manages to build a fascinating and unique other-world without losing itself in the fantasy. The characters are grounded and relatable, and I’m a big fan of the female friendships built into the story. There were plot twists I didn’t expect, and a build-up for book 2 that promises unique adventures of its own.

fast paced whirlwind
You could say this book is fast paced, but in truth, it's a bit more of a whirlwind. You don't really have time to get to know the main character, Thea, before you're swept off into a completely different world. we're supposed to see that she has managed to survive in her own world, as hard as that is, but not really given the chance to make any predictions about how she'll fare in the Fae world. the development here is too vague. however, before you realize that, you're already in the Fae city, among the clouds, watching as Thea makes one mistake after another while others pick up after her. at no point does she use her mistakes to her advantage, and instead, uses three months of her short life to wallow in her room and paint and learn how to play chess. all the skills she supposedly has from the mortal world are generally...unused or useless. She does have some tender moments, but there is as little time to enjoy these as there is to get to know the main character - who has the same voice and personality as everyone else, which makes it difficult to differentiate her from the others - before she is suddenly making a new decision and a new mistake. if she is supposed to be cunning, she comes across as more of a blundering fool who, as her father is constantly in her head reminding her, is not prepared for the fae realm.
the world building among the fae is a bit odd too.. though if there was more history or explanation it wouldn't be as much of a problem. but it seems like the only reason for pranks is "power," though it is never explained what "power" does or how it is estimated, though it seems to be just the general perception other people have of you, is that you're powerful. if that is the case, Thea, who is supposed to be powerful at the end, is still incredibly... pathetic, and not in the sense of being worthy of our sympathy, but in the sense of, this kid is pitiful and the wrong sort of protagonist to convince me that she will succeed in the second book, even as the stakes get higher. if there was ever a beneficiary of Main Character Protection, this kid is it.
over all, too fast paced to be well developed, with one note characters that are easily interchangeable and indistinguishable. but I did finish it. it was compelling enough to finish.
