Like the rest of the book the romance isn’t simple either, forget love triangles, this is more like a love pentagon. As soon as you think you understand what is going on a new piece of information is revealed which rips apart all you thought you knew. The plot was confusing but thrilling and kept me guessing throughout. She is gutsy, smart and brave, and is far less idiotic than most female heroines – though she still has her moments. Majesty is probably one of the best female characters I have had the pleasure of reading about. I loved how every single character was complex and multi layered as this is something I find lacking in most books I read. Little by little majesty discovers that everything is much more complex than just a church shooting, and she finds herself pulled into a deadly game where even her closest friends are suspect. Unable to go to the police, majesty feels she only has one choice – to discover herself who she overheard and to stop the massacre before it happens.

Majesty Alistair is just an average teenage girl with a normal life until she over hears some of her fellow students planning a church massacre. I thought this book was AMAZING, the plot had me hooked and would not let me go until the very end and even when I had finished I just could not stop thinking about it. Add to this Courtney's incredible writing style and you have a story that you want to devour in one sitting.

The book was both character-driven and plot-driven, which promises to be an exciting ride for every type of YA reader. There was so much dimension and character development that it was almost too much to take. Brilliant!Įach character, especially Majesty, was like a 20-Layer Cake. To my absolute amazement, I understood everything that went on in the book in almost perfect detail. Once I was done with the story, I sat it down and just thought about it for a few moments. Reading the book through will keep you frustratingly frazzled most of the time, and you will think you're more confused than you really are. I love this book, and I don't know how to review this book without giving away too much. 'Beautifully unique' would be another term I'd use. I think the best way for me to describe the book is quirky. The lips and everything about the cover sums up what you'll get to look forward to in the book. I love the colors, I love the slight grunge feel to it with the text and brushes. I'll start with the outside and work my way in so I can form the right words for what I want to say about Kings & Queens.
