My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Queen of Nothing

❀️ loved this book because...

Both the main leading characters Carden and Jude had an amazing personality which made me tempted to read it more than once especially the last book of the series, the queen of nothing. The last two books in the series will give you a totally different vibe from the first one. Carden's messy character and Jude's dary one matches effortlessly in the story. It's sure that you will get hooked when you complete the first book πŸ˜‰!!
