The Werewolf Queen by Brandi Elledge
2.0
Not a good book but tell me why I loved it. Not enough to give it above 2 stars obviously but I liked reading it. But it was not good. And that's okay. This book was on my kindle when I got it so I didn't buy it and I probably wouldn't have lol. I knew it wasn't going to be a life-changing read.
Sadie is a typical self-insert of the author (not making any claims to know Elledge personally, but based off of author's portrait and Sadie's descriptions. Well.) with snow-white platinum blonde hair (natural, by the way) and big old tiddies and a hot-and-freshly-legal-bod. She's the hottest girl around — save for the fact that she's a total fuckin loser lol. She doesn't have any powers in a power-aplenty-city and her quirky best friend Jo is a soothsayer / clairvoyant. I'm pretty sure Jo looks like that self-insert from I Am Not Starfire but I'm even more sure that Sadie would not befriend a FATTIE because one thing about Sadie is she hates women lol. Anyway Sadie turns 18 (she's LEGAL LET'S GOOO!!!!!) and meets King of Werewolves and brother who are both hot of course and also a vampire who is hot of course and her powers unlocked and — honestly the whole plot is convoluted but also so underwhelming lol. There are NO stakes EVER and the "will they won't they" that is entirely perpetuated by Sadie being a child — errrr sorry legal adult — is so stupid and takes too long. CG (Camden) is a lackluster love interest with a typical saddy-daddy story and big-broad-broody syndrome who is of course OP as fuck and can *teleports behind u and kills u* literally anyone.
Prose is not good. This is mid-grade writing at best with an excessive amount of sexual innuendo yet the insistence to use "biotch" and "freak" instead of "bitch" and "fuck" which I found not only laughable but almost insulting. I cannot, for the life of me, picture someone built up to be as big and scary as Camden to say "freaking" in a sentence instead of "fucking".
Also weird stuff with the singular black character, Lil. Weird twerking scenes that felt. Odd. I'm not gonna assert any "ist" or "ism" but it was. definitely odd. Felt like something to characterize Lil as distinctly black along with spelling out her New Orleans accent.
For a book that I'm pretty sure is on the shorter side, a lot of nothing happens and there's just a lot of instances where I quirked my eyebrow and just had to keep going. Again, this is not a good book (in my opinion) but I was here for the below room temp tea.
