Queen Takes Checkmate by Joely Sue BurkhartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sex, Blood and Power
I love this series in all it’s bloody, violent and sexy glory. It isn’t for the faint of heart as it is a reverse harem and there is lots and lots of sex with lots and lots of blood and magic involved. There is also MM and FF action in addition to the MF action. Whilst I love of all of that, the thing I love most about this series is the world building.
I love the idea of a race of people who are descended from goddesses and are bound into households ruled by Queens. All that rule is based on blood and power gifted from the goddess to the queen to her household. Each Queen has her own unique powers gifted to her by her birthright and she rules as she sees fit within her household.
This fifth book in the series is the culmination of the battle against Ra, better known in my head as “the god who hates all the Queens”. All the plots in the preceding books start to line up and the individual strengths of Shara’s Bloods line up in order to rid House Isadora of it’s greatest enemy.
It’s a fun book with lots going on and as always there are lots of steamy scenes interspersed with very tender ones.
I’m so glad this isn’t the last in the series!
