1,5/5 ⭐️
Chciałam wiedzieć po pierwszym tomie co tu się ma wydarzyć po końcówce. Ale ten tom był nudny jak flaki z olejem. Dobrze, że przynajmniej krótki.
Wydaje mi się mnie absurdalny od pierwszego, ale nie wiem czy po prostu moja głowa już nie chce skupiać się na niektórych rzeczach.
No nudny był, nadal zachowują się jak npc, trochę mniej cringowało, ale to chyba dlatego, że mało co tu się działo.
Mogłam w sumie przeczytać początek żeby się dowiedzieć jak zostało rozwiązane zakończenie pierwszego tomu. Ale niestety nie potrafię robić DNF 💀

***4 "Holy Mother of Ratchet Wrenches!!!" stars***
If she wanted to win, something must be done.
Because she wasn't a princess, nor a mere pawn.
If she wanted to win, a vicious queen she'd become.
Wow!!! Things are definitely getting hotter and much dangerous in the second installment of this incredible series!!! This devilish duo had left us with our mouths wide open at the end of the first book and you have to abandon every hope out of the door, cause the new cliffy was even more surprising and I'm in desperate need for the final book...
The only sure thing is that the suspense didn't stop increasing in here... So many things had happened... we received some answers but new questions had arise and I really can not wait to see where this story will lead us after all...
"The little sacrificial pawn turned out to be a queen."
The book picked up exactly where it had left us in "Merciless Kings" and Everly is trying to find the right footing in her life and to understand what is really happening around her... She doesn't know who to trust anymore and the only people that can give her some answers are the Boneyard Kings...
The boys are mad with her, but at the same time, their tender side is rising to the surface because of Everly...
They still need to avenge, but they need Everly too...
What will happen after all??? Will these four start to trust each other and become a united front in order to find out the truths that they are seeking???
"We wanted revenge. We wanted payback. We started getting it, but at what cost?"
I really loved Everly in here... She started to become more fierce and to take action...
Honestly, I can not pick up a boy as my favorite one in here cause all three of them are amazing.... Callum, Matteo and Saint are so different between them, but they are loyal to each other and they are not backing down on anything...
Of course, the electricity between these four was rising in dangerous levels and their heated moments had the ability to make you all hot and bothered!!!!
Honestly, I can not wait for the last part of this dangerous story... especially after that ending!!!
"It was time for me to set my pieces on the chessboard, and go up against the master."

3.5/5
Vicious Queen jest płynną kontynuacją Merciless King, które zostawiło mnie z wieloma pytaniami i niedosytem fabularnym. W tym tobie akcja nabiera tempa, Everly zacieśnia swoje relacje z Królami Cmentarzyska i decyduje się dołączyć do ich sprawy w poszukiwaniu informacji.
Ten tom niestety okazał się ubogi pod względem rozwoju fabuły. Mam wrażenie, że przez to, że książka jest cieniutka nie potrafiłam zaangażować się w pełni w zagadkę przestępstwa. W ciągu całego drugiego tomu dostajemy kolejne dwie nikłe wskazówki i po prostu brakuje mi tu czegoś więcej.
Z wątków pobocznych dostajemy parę rozdziałów poświęconych przeszłości chłopaków, które łamały mi serce oraz rozwój sprawy umowy narkotykowej, która mam wrażenie jest po to by podnieść nam ciśnienie, by w końcu paść na zawał. Pociły mi się ręce jak widziałam imię Lorenza i zaczynam poważnie bać się o bohaterów. Autorka daje nam także kilka wskazówek między wierszami, które może z pozoru nic nie znaczą ale ułożyłam już swoją teorię.
Ogromny plus za rozwój wątku romantycznego. Widać jak bohaterowie rozkochują się w Everly, a ona także zaczyna żywić do nich jakieś uczucia. Przyjemnie się czyta sceny akcji z nimi wszystkimi bo mają bardzo zgraną energię, chociaż ta bardziej erotyczna część ich relacji pobudzała wyobraźnię. Szczególnie w tej jednej wspólnej scenie, gdzie każdy z bohaterów ma szansę opowiedzieć jej kolejne minuty (strony!) w swojej perspektywie.
Niestety sama Everly gdzieś mi zniknęła. Tak jak prowadziła dzielnie swoje śledztwo w pierwszym tomie, tak tutaj była po prostu pustych imieniem na kartce, i mimo, że dostała swój wkład w szukanie poszlak, to jej postać zaginęła: w dialogach czy refleksach.
Czekam na kolejny tom ale mogę już polecić tę trylogię jako niezobowiązujące lekturę na jeden wieczór.

Vicious Queen picked up right where Merciless Kings left us with the jaw dropping cliffhanger. This book started with a bang and really didn't let up with the intensity. Just kept building and drawing me in.
We get even more twists, mystery and steamy scenes that will make you want to find your very own Boneyard Kings! Everly is graciously trying to find her place and is coming to terms with what's going on with the help of her 3 men. She wants to put her trust in them since others in her life are failing at the job.
Their relationship is evolving into something more. Something I don't think any saw coming, but are all powerless to stop. The guys have shown their softer side and have stepped up to the plate. They know how to make her feel good, make her feel special and make her feel like she is a part of something - something true. I truly like them all... not sure if I have a favorite.
I was captivated with this read from start to finish! I didn't want it to end and I can't wait until the third and final book is out!!

This story just keeps getting better and better! This book picks up right where the first one left off we get more background on the guys onto why they are the way they are and more twists and turns and those sex scenes were super hot omg ladies you guys delivered! Another shocking cliffhanger I need the next book I have so many more questions! Another brilliant read by this new author duo ! Loved it!

3.5 - 3.75 stars!
Vicious Queen picks up right where Merciless Kings ends and we delve deeper into the mystery surrounding Saint, Mateo, Callum and Everly. There's a lot happening in this one and a lot still to be discovered. Chess pieces are moving and it's only a matter of time before everything explodes. The chemistry between Everly and the guys is delicious and I honestly wanted more time with them getting to know each other *wink wink.*
This one ends on another cliffhanger unfortunately and the last book isn't out yet. I am enjoying this but the story lagged for me in some places so I wasn't entirely captivated by this world and its characters. Looking forward to the last book however!

Things are getting heated, dirty and dangerous in the second instalment of Boneyard Kings as Everly and her boys are in middle of something sinister. Vicious King by Becca Steele and C. Lymari was highly addictive with passion, emotions and suspense mixing beautifully.
Mateo, Saint and Callum are the Boneyard Kings. Living in the junkyard where they work on cars and rule the wrong side of the track. They have to solve the mystery of the death of their old man who adopted them and saved them and also his son aka their best friend. Everly, the university dean's niece, was supposed to be a pawn. But she is also in search of truth. Together they are a formidable team. But their enemies are strong.
The first book left us with a brutal cliffy. This book focused on the development of relationship among Everly and the kings. Their magnetic attraction and electric chemistry pulled them close. But they are all lost souls and that's the core of their connection. Mateo, Saint and Callum all have a broken past and their brotherhood is most important to them. They can die for each other. They are feared by all..they have this ruthless darkness. But Everly broke through their walls. She is a beautiful combination of sweet and sassy. She has seen death and grief and loneliness from close. And these misunderstood, dominating, controlling, possessive and sinful men made her feel safe and wanted. She earned their trust. She will be in this mission. But too many evil pieces are around. They can trust no one. Deeper they go into the corrupt dangerous schemes, the harder they are going to get hurt. This story is super hot. Like filthy hot as you can expect from a reverse harem of bad boys. The ending was as usual a difficult one. I cannot wait to see how they beat the enemies and serve justice.

⭐⭐⭐🌟
Vicious Queen is book two in the new adult romance series, Boneyard Kings, and continues on directly where book one left off so it definitely needs to be read first.
This book felt a lot more fast paced than book one and brings all of the action from the very beginning! Everything was turned up a notch and those steamy scenes? holy hell! 🥵🥵
I don't want to give away anything that happened in book one so I will just say that this story had me flying through the pages and desperate for more. With another cliffhanger ending I will be eagerly awaiting the next book. Claudia and Becca sure know how to leave us hanging!

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. Damn this series is hot, I mean I knew it was going to ve because like I said it's an rh. But of the scenes have swooning. I love how all guys are equal with Everly there no competition. I love the bond between Cal, Saint, and Matteo. They truly are brothers. Everly uncle though ya no he needs to go. Not a fan at all. Robbie and his dad too. Can't wait for the conclusion.

Book 2 picked up right where the first left off.
This book had a little more suspense to it than the first, but I still feel like the story is missing something. Almost like it’s a rough draft and the author hasn’t added the finer details yet.
It’s a good read, but it’s not my favorite. I don’t feel that need to read late into the night to see what happens. I will continue to the next book and finish the series though.

Vicious Queen is the second book in the Boneyard Kings series and it is not to be missed.
Do you know what I loved the most about this book? The emotional connection that the boys made with Everly. I love when everyone has started to drop their guard and their vulnerability is on display because those moments that we get between Everly, Saint, Callum and Mateo are my favourites.
If you love RH with all the hot sexy times added in along with a plot that will you keep you in detective mode the whole book then this series is definitely the one for you. These authors are two of my all time favourites but this author pairing is off the charts amazing and I can’t wait for book 3!!

give me book 3
Vicious Queen picks up where it left off where Everly was hit by the car. After she is discharged the Boneyard Kings finally get back to her where she lets them in on what she knows…
This book gives us a few answers that we are looking for but still a few pieces of the puzzle that we are waiting on.
I do love all the guys but I think Saint is my favorite 🤩
I need book 3 for the conclusion!!

I so badly wanted to give this book a five star rating, but it was missing something.
Vicious Queen is the sequel to Merciless Kings and it picked up literally RIGHT were the first book left off. Mannn... When I tell you I devoured this book, I meant it. I read about half of this book at work and finished the rest right after I got off work.
I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire book. It was never dull which I greatly appreciated. The thing this book was missing was the romance. There is once again no romance in this series so far, it just seems like its just lust. If the romance was written better than this would have easily been a five star read for me.
I also lowkey wished that there were more books in this series, but I still highly recommend to those who love the suspense and really being on the edge of your chair with lots of smut. (really good combination if you ask me) XD

June 30, 2022DNF at 30%. Prior update was: Okay, i'm not sure i'm going to keep moving forward with this book. The characters are all over the place, one minute she's pissed and doesn't like them, then next she's dry humping them. One minute the guys cannot trust her at all and swear she's working w her uncle and then the next they claim her and are working together?? What even.
I thought and sat on this for a bit and I don’t see myself finishing this book. The characters felt immature, the storyline and thought process of the characters were confusing, I just didn’t love the first book enough to push through the remaining series. I did like the concept of the book from what I gathered, I just couldn’t vibe with the execution of it fully. To elaborate a bit, the girl has absolutely no idea what her uncle is involved in (nor does the reader for sure) and she blindly decided to team up w three men who have been out to get her when her uncle is the only family she has??? this doesn’t make sense to me, there’s no fighting, there’s no true lack of trust, it just doesn’t make sense. Anyways this is of course just my opinion, I’ve seen others who have adored this book and that’s okay! just not my cup of tea this time :)

Historia w każdej stronie niebezpieczna, dzika i mocno obsesyjna. Tu nie ma przestrzeni na subtelność romantycznych słów, w zamian następuje eksploracja brudnego i z pewnością nieobliczalnego pożądania. To niepokojąco mroczna powieść, nasączona brawurą i złowieszczą tajemnicą, rzęsista w przekroju zainscenizowanej intrygi, jednocześnie kontrowersyjna w portrecie fizycznej intymności. C. Lymari i Becca Steele nie przycinają konwulsyjnych żądz swoich drapieżnych bohaterów, świadomie balansują na granicy wyuzdania, proponują seans niełatwy do wizualnego ujarzmienia. W mojej opinii szkoda, że ta niespożyta w ekscesach seria, nie zamyka się w samodzielnym tomie.

Nonononononooooo... I need this kinda right away..... Can't wait till march.
I need to know what happens next. No. I MUST know what happens next!

This review will be books 1 & 2 merciless kings & Vicious Queen♡
I don't even know where to begin right now. I was in a 3 month book slump. I decided to try becca Steeles new series. It jump started me, gave me life, had me turning those pages faster than before. The cliffy on book one had me reaching for book two the same day. The cliffy on book two had me questioning my whole life. My mind is spinning in a million directions, the twists, turns, secrets and betrayal. This series has been a master piece and I'm dying already for the third and final book. I just know it's going to be epic and I need my answers so so so bad. 😩 I love when a book ends and leaves you grasping and begging for the next one. I don't want to ruin one second of this plot, go in blind, and enjoy the damn ride. I have never read from C. Lymari before but knowing she created this with becca means she's seriously talented too and I'm excited to dive into her back list!! This series I'd a 5 star favorite read of 2022 for me ✌️❤️😭

Oh. My. God…….. this freaking book was OUTSTANDING!!!!
This is the second book in the Boneyard Kings series and takes place right after book 1. Everly is just trying to process everything that has gone down and let me tell you there are so many twists and turns in this book. Everly and the guys are all trying to figure out different things in this book and with that relationships start to develop more and things get extra steamy, as well as more mysteries to solve. I really like the character development in this book and learning more about the guys past and just getting a better understanding of why the guys are the way they are. I was immediately hooked into this story and when I finished I was shook, and I may have yelled “it’s over already?” Seriously though, this is such an addicting series that is so deliciously dark, steamy, and exciting! I honestly would love to go on and on about this book, but I won’t. Just go and read it March 10th!
5 Stars!!!

This series is EPIC!!!
Vicious Queen is book #2 in The Boneyard Kings series. Make sure to read Merciless Kings first!!
We pick up where we left off in Merciless Kings. If you read it, you know how crazy that cliffhanger is.
Callum, Saint and Mateo are still having trouble trusting Everly but they all agree to work together on finding out what they need to know (I know that's vague, I just don't wanna give anything away!).
They are still trying to get to the bottom of what Everlys uncle is up to.
The guys open up some to Everly and they are finally seeing that she means something to each of them. And that scene in the garage that starts on the hood of a car is HOT!!!!
That cliffhanger is rough though!!!! I need to know what happens next!!
Thank you so much Becca Steele and C Lymari for one of the best reverse harems I have read in awhile!!!

Vicious Queen has been an anticipated read for me ever since I finished the previous book. Ending on a cliffhanger I had to know what was next!!! This book picks up after the events of the first book every single moment was just INTENSE.
Everly is a character that I’ve loved ever since I met her. Not only is she exciting to get to know but there’s still so much to her to discover. This book proved even more just how strong she is even when all her emotions are put out there. Callum, Mateo, and Saint are really interesting characters and reading their point of views has been intriguing,especially in this book.
This book is an enjoyable read overall and leaves you wanting to know more! It captivates you from the first chapter and I loved that. I honestly can’t wait for the next book!

When I read Merciless Kings, I was blown away with the story, angst, plotline, the characters and couldn’t picture how it could get any better.
Well, let me introduce you to ‘better’…Vicious Queen. Vicious Queen picks up right where we left off in MK. The guys are still causing a ruckus and staking their claim, but what I loved to see above everything else, is Everly living up to her true potential. She is their Vicious Queen. She makes these Kings fall to their knees. I love Callum, Mateo, Saint, and their personality quirks, but Everly Walker is the true B@d@ss bitch of this story.
Beware again, this does end in a cliffy, and I screamed and was so frustrated that I couldn’t advance for more words. Ruthless Knight can NOT come quick enough. I need to know how this ends!!! This dynamic duo has done it again! Utterly fantastic!!

I received this ARC for my honest review. This is the second book of the Boneyard Kings series and it does not disappoint. More information is revealed but of course it brings more questions that need answers. As Everly is recovering from the accident and trying to get her memories back from that night, she also begins to build her relationship with the Boneyard Kings. And the Boneyard Kings begin to see her as their Queen. You’re kept on the edge of your seat as things get revealed and questions get answers that only bring more questions. I enjoyed this ride from start to finish and that cliffhanger definitely left me with my mouth hanging open, shocked and wanting more. I can’t wait for next book of this series.

1st of all.. EXCUSE ME MAMI?!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MOVE ALONG WITH A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THAT?!
2nd of all...Yip. Smash. 9.5 out of 10 👏
Vicious Queen follows off book 1, Merciless Kings, and slap me daddy/throw me on the bed.. this book was a lot better than the 1st!
This is such a great fast-paced read. There's character development with Everly, which I love! She's showing more backbone. There's flashbacks of the boneyard kings, which I also ate up, the spice fam.. THE SPICE! 🤌 and the plot thickens right at the end!!!
There's soooo much left to unravel, and ofc I'm gunning straight into the next book!
🤞 all this building lives up to the hype!
⭐️ 4.5

This book picks up right where we left off in book 1, the character development of Everly is amazing, it wasn’t rushed either you can completely understand the reasons why she has become so fierce.
Everly’s uncle and the mayor seem to be involved in some shady shit! Martin walker is hell bent on keeping it a secret. How far is he willing to go to keep that secret?
I still can’t pick a favourite boneyard king, I literally love all 3 of them! They are all very different but they are all incredibly loyal to each other and now of course Everly.
Jumping straight in to ruthless kingdom.
5🌟 full of suspense, keeps you intrigued.
5🌶️ the spicy scene in the work shop 🥵 hold on to your flaps ladies, just wow!

I have loved this series from book one, and book two hooked me just as much & I couldn’t put it down! A few secrets have come out, but some secrets feel as though they’ve gotten deeper! There is so much action that happens from the beginning to the end of this book, and so many details as the author winds you up just to crush you!!
Callum, Saint and Mateo are very cruel when they feel betrayed, and are so protective of each other. Ride or die. Trying to find the truth of what happened takes Everly and her boys on a wildly dangerous journey while trying to determine if they trust each other. I’m really anxious to read the next book after the ending left us hanging from a cliff screaming! This series is a favorite dark reverse harem read for me because of the bullying & the emotions it invokes. I’m obsessed.

Vicious Queen is book two in the Boneyard Kings trilogy.
While there isn't much clarity on the sinister side of the story from the first book, we do get to go further into the rabbit hole that is Blackstone.
Two of my favorite parts were the flashbacks and, well, you know - the RH part.
The flashbacks have us a glimpse at the vulnerable side to the guys. What they have been through, the things - good and bad - that shaped them into who they are now.
The other part, well, it's hot! What more can I say?
I can't wait to see how this plays out because I wasn't to know what happened to Erick and Dave and all these other people.

Holy. Fucking. Shiznuts.
Came for the stunning cover stayed for the engrossing story. These books are so incredible that I couldn’t even stop to write a review for book one before diving into book two! Clearly that’s coming back to bite me because the ending of Vicious Queen has turned my brain to mush.
While I can’t brain right now I can tell you that you NEED to start Boneyard Kings immediately if you love dark college romances! Out of this world! It’s just.. ugh, I can’t find the words. Read this series, you won’t be disappointed!

I liked this book even better than the first. I didn’t like how every time the boys were with Everly the only thing that happened was sex. I love how once they realized that she was not involved they began to let her help. I hate how her uncle catches her going through his office and locks her in. I love how she was able to help the maid and save her from being hurt by her uncle. I love that the maid helps her escape even though she’s scared. Once again this book ended on a cliffhanger and the third book isn’t out yet. I cannot wait to finish the series in May.

We are thrown right back into the story after that brutal cliffhanger from book one. We are able to see the aftermath of that event from both the MMC and FMC perspectives to further gain some insight into their thoughts and feelings.
While this book was full of twists and turns and a few answers (but probably more questions), we finally saw less bully and more romance. The characters begin working as a team, trying to understand one another more and exploring their feelings.
The story has become more complex and different players have been revealed. While the cliffhanger, in my opinion, wasn’t as bad as book one, it’s enough to leave you aching for the finale.
