A review by snaze6
Savage Queen by Alley Ciz

5.0

DAMN, she got me again! Even knowing this book ended on a cliffhanger and watch the % complete creep towards the end, I got sucked up into the action going on in the story and then BAM - cliffhanger! Alley Ciz writes awesome stories that literally leave you hanging off the cliff in anticipation of getting your hands on her next book. I have to admit I sorta love the adrenaline rush of it, but the waiting to get the rest of the story is a pain in the ass.

I’m really not a fan of bully romances, BUT I loved this one because Savvy is no weak damsel and she can more than step up and take down Jasper and his crew who think they own Blackwell Prep (BP), but Savvy doesn’t backdown from anyone or anything. Watching Jasper spin his wheels trying to get the upper hand in his battle with Savvy and then failing epically is hilarious and inspires so much glee.

These two are so focused on getting the upper hand in their battle they don’t realize or want to recognize their intense chemistry and physical reaction to each other.

Their battle against each other is epic, but I think the next book is going to blow us away when the join forces.

We first meet Savvy and her friends/family in UofJ and she was definitely a great character in those 3 books. I wasn’t sure where a HS-age duet would go since Alley’s previous books have been college-age or older. Wow, this book is just as fantastic despite the younger age of the characters.

I love how Alley weaves in so many of her characters from previous books into each new book. It’s like getting the chance to revisit good friends. Sigh, now the wait for book 2 begins.

I received an ARC from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review. I LOVE Alley Ciz’s writing and the phenomenal characters she beings to life!
