The Queen's Secret (The Queen's Assassin Duology, 2)

I liked book 1 so much but I’m hating book2.Lilac the queen wants to help the kingdom but all she does is wanting to be with her lover. Damn woman you got power you could do anything all you do is sit in your room and wait for things to happen. I loved Laila in book1 so much. She’s very powerful character in it but here you’re just a pathetic queen.This whole books feels bullshit to me. All the bad things happen in castle, all they do is nothing. I didn’t like any of the character.The only thing I liked about this book is ending. The way author make characters choose love and their kingdom is good. Apart nothing in this book made me like it.

The Queen's Secret by Melissa de la Cruz is the spectacular ending to this wonderful duology.Will Lilac and Caledon live the life they want?Queen Lilac and Caledon HoltQueen Lilac was once an assassin in training instead of doing her royal duties, and that all changed when she had to accept her fate. I have to admire her for wanting to keep up her training and seeing Cal on the side despite being married. Hansen, Lilac's husband, doesn't care for her or want to be married to her. The two have an agreement, but how long will that last? I have to say that I was pretty worried about these two lovebirds and how they might get separated after all.Cal loves Lilac even more now than before when he only knew her as Shadow. The only problem that Cal has is that he wants Lilac to be his wife and not Hansen's, but nothing the two can do about that. Cal is another one of those characters that I love to learn more about as we follow along in his parts of the story. Cal is a sweet man who deserves a lot more, but he loves his Queen and will do anything to keep her safe.I love these two together and how their love can withstand anything.The StoryQueen Lilac and Caledon Holt are still trying to keep their promise of loving each other. The two are also trying to rid their world of the evil that is still around them all the time. Lilac keeps her eyes on things around the castle while Cal is sent off to do his assassin thing. Sadly, things aren't going their way, and I have to say that I was surprised at who the evil person turned out to be this time. Quite a lot happens in this book, and I don't want to spoil anything.Five StarsI am giving five stars to The Queen's Secret by Melissa de la Cruz and recommending it. Ms. Cruz has done an excellent job on this duology, and I loved everything about it. I still feel bad that Lilac has to give up her dream of being an assassin instead of ruling. Except Lilac does a superb job of being Queen.I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Queen’s Secret by Melissa de la Cruz.Until the next time,Karen the Baroness

I think book 1 set this up nicely so it could’ve been much better than it was. I was a bit disappointed in the ending.

Wasn’t expecting a sequel to the first book “The Queens Assassin” the book was good but didn’t leave me craving to read it like the first book did! That’s why I gave it 4 stars

I loved the first book so much and I was very excited to read the sequel but it was a massive let down. Most of what happened in the story seemed kind of pointless and was just written to get something down and I really wished it went for a different approach that had a different story.

In the description it said minor damage and possible stickers on the cover and/or pages and it is in almost perfect condition!!
