I have fallen head over heels for this series. The relationship between Dante and Diablo is fire to say the least, and the chemistry is off the charts… for good reason. 😉 This book has honestly left me speechless. There were so many times where I was left wondering what was going to happen, laughing, crying (especially towards the end). The ending has made my heart so happy! This definitely took me for an emotional rollercoaster, and I am super excited to read what’s next in store for this...

The world we all know and love is in trouble - because drama is unfolding again with our immortal beings. Well maybe “again” isn’t the right word since it’s definitely a continuation of drama from book one. I really enjoy the way that the fallen mesh seamlessly into the world we know while still having their own reality and secrets that separate them from the mere mortals. The twist on what we know from Bible school about creation, angels, daemons, immortality and even specific beings like Luke...

Ahhhhh!! This book had me on the edge of my seat. D.M. continues to build stories that you can't put down. Diablo and Dante's growing relationship, the side characters, down to the determination to end their enemy was all executed perfectly. Diablo's unwavering strength, Dante's fierce protectiveness is what makes them a power couple. They are the moon and stars. I'm so in love with this series! )

I am not someone who typically gravitates to paranormal and fantasy, but a friend recommended Danielle’s books and I am a fan of her writing. I think this story kept me interested and had me excited to read just one more chapter before bed. Looking forward to reading more of her work. )

Having not read any of Simmons’ work before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, however, I was immediately intrigued. Legion of the Queen is a delicious dive into this indulgent world for newcomers and fans alike. Eden, the city of fallen angels, is where we meet Dante and Diablo; the dark and the undecided. The story of fallen angels and demons is nothing new, but the dynamic between these two is unlike anything I’ve read. Told in alternating POV, the drama unfolds and so does the heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥...
