À propos de cet audio
Four dead queens. Three days to catch a killer. Two forbidden romances. One shocking twist you won’t see coming.
Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead.
With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens.
An enthralling fast-paced mystery where competing agendas collide with deadly consequences, Four Dead Queens heralds the arrival of an exciting new YA talent.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side. And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement. To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

An advertisement has been placed (again!) by the wealthy and eccentric Parloni Sisters. The salary is generous and the employers are 90 years old, so how hard could the job be? Well, none have lasted longer than a week. Most boys leave in tears. Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parlonis' beck and call, forever. That’s sort of her life plan. If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager.

Strong, Fresh Premise
A murder mystery with a unique method of storytelling, FOUR DEAD QUEENS took a fresh route to its premise with interesting characters and plenty of plot twists. It followed the four ruling Queens of Quadara as they are targeted for assassination, as well as the story of young thief Keralie who finds herself wrapped up in the conspiracy.
Keralie is easy to like and root for. She has interesting relationships—both positive and negative—that add to her backstory and lead her to the different elements of the plot. The Queens are representative of their quadrant, allowing them to have different personalities. There are some romantic subplots that are explored, with Keralie's being the strongest and allowing for the most development.
While the writing is good, the pacing is fairly solid and the concept is original, I'm not entirely sold on the execution (pardon the pun). Oh, there are plenty of twists and I didn't see most of them coming, but at the end I felt myself asking: "Why?" about certain narrative choices. There were things that, while they made sense, didn't quite make enough sense for me to have felt a lasting impact. It's odd, because the stakes were there and they were very real, but I think some of the biggest twists were a little random, and certain plot lines didn't really feel resolved.
FOUR DEAD QUEENS is a good book for readers who enjoy the most unexpected of twists and a good murder mystery with a strong female lead, so I would recommend it to anyone who is curious and looking for something fun to read on a weekend.
