Queen Bitch

Fun series, quick readThis as a fun book. A bit better then then the first in the series. This is definitely an episodic series, and you’ll need to read the previous book(s) to understand all that is happening. The author does bring up quite a bit from the previous novel and explains most scenes again, but better to read it yourself to get the added humor he was obviously going for.I would consider this series to not only be of the sci-fi/fantasy genre, but also quite a bit an action adventure with even some spy vibes added in. The terminology and language use of how special ops are likely handled is believable, with only a tad being over the top. The creative cussing used throughout actually helps the story instead of detracting from it. It doesn’t even come across as gratuitous in its use. This is not a book for a young child, but a mature-ish teen would be ok.I was impressed by how well the author incorporates the disparity of the different groups and brings them together as one cohesive whole. It was a bit idealistic though as the story progressed, as everything just always works out. Even when making massive financial or life and death decisions, that everything works perfectly and sets things up to handle the next obstacles so well. This part just wasn’t as believable. Good stories require conflict and not everything works out perfectly so often. Some of the best stories I have read, are how characters deal with unforeseen problems as they arise. The few problems that Bethany Anne has happen, all become non-issues because they help to propel her into the next situation, which may not have happened without this minor obstacle. Life never works out this perfectly, I’d prefer to see a few true setbacks occur and then have to be dealt with.This is a quick read, easily done within a day or two, per book. I look forward to reading more of the series and from the author.
