Review: ARC
With the king gone, the veil fell.
Thrusting Carnage Crossing into a fresh hell.
A city of the dead. A town built by demise.
Torn apart by the livings’ whim to exorcise.
The lineage was tracked and followed to a royal heir.
The fact she had a pulse a shocking affair.
Whisked through death’s door with grisly splendor,
Her reign will begin when ties to the past sever.
Yet secrets slither in with a venomous bite,
Threatening to destroy all when they come to light.
Will the truth revealed bring peace to the dead?
Or unleash the Corpse Queen to come for your head?

It took me a while to get into this story; it was not because I did not like it. It was simply a bit harder for me to get into it right away, which was okay, but I enjoyed the story and our characters in the end. We are introduced to our main character Thades. When she dies, all of a sudden, things become weirder for her....she is considered a queen in the underworld, so to speak. Her job, in the end, is to close the veil but can she do it? She is just now learning everything that will entitle her to become a queen, and her main thing will be to leave behind her true love, Ambrose. I really thought it was neat how the exorcisms were happening; I wondered how that was being done. When it came around, I sat back thinking, hmmm, neat way to play it out. The author did a great job building Carnage Crossing and having it be a normal place for the dead, just like for the living. The ending has me wondering now how this will truly all play out with our Queen. I can not see this going a good way. Thank goodness the author is working on book two.
