Review: A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet
A Curse of Queens by Amanda BouchetThe Kingmaker Chronicles #4Fantasy RomanceOctober 4, 2022 by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review, you should know a few things.

This book reads like a regency historical polyam romance with horror and fantasy elements. Lots of Continue Reading
