The Mortal Queen by Ashley Metzler available 2/15/2025

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of The Mortal Queen by Ashley Metzler audiobook. First published in 2022 but is now being republished through Second Sky Books. I really enjoyed this book. It‘s a slow burn, plot driven fantasy. There are times I wanted to shake the FMC, Aisling, but she grew on me as her character grew. I couldn‘t put it down. I can‘t wait to read book two The Savage Queen.

Meagan Brandy either breaks my heart or mends it with her books. I have a list of authors that I will read anything they write. Meagan is at the top of this list. From Brayshaw to Fumbled Hearts she‘s had me hooked. I‘ve been waiting on this release since I finished Promise Me Not.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Maybe it‘s the science nerd in me but I caught myself smiling at this book more than once. Interesting twist on the typical vampire/shifter romance. I hope there is another book exploring some of the other characters.
