The Queen

Skye Warren has a unique writing style which really piqued my curiosity. Although, there were many key moments where she builds up an atmosphere just to let it hang or drop like ice cold water. Then, when the right moments arrive, there is no atmosphere to build momentum and create a memorable climax in that chapter. Great read though.

I feel lost, like a wandering soul. It's over. It has truly ended. The king wasn't looking for a queen. He doesn't need or want one. But one had been calling to him for sometime. One woman stands out. The gang is all here in The Queen. Everyone you love and even ones you don't. It is quite the send off. Ms. Warren brings this story to a justifiable close. In a fitting move, she changed the game...The King now faces The Queen.

The Queen finishes off Penny and Damon's story, and it does it with the slow burn and hidden meanings we have come to expect from these two. And it ends with the unexpected and sweet joining of these two imperfect people who are so perfectly suited for each other Penny is safely away at college with Avery. Her dad seems to disappear, and then Avery, and she goes to the only person she know can help her Damon. It has been three years since they saw each other, but it doesn't seem like he has changed, and as much as Penny thinks she has, she is that same girl she was in Damon's presence. The past has caught up with them, and the puzzles they face they need to solve together. The haze hangs over them, their story, the whole time, and it doesn't seem like they can move past anything to get what they both so obviously need Penny finally does what she has to, and Damon forgives himself, and their HEA finally is the forgone conclusion they both must have realized as children, they were meant to be!
