Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Majesty Alistair wants police to look further into her father’s fatal car wreck, hopes the baseball team she manages can reclaim the state crown, aches for Derek…or, no…maybe Alec…maybe. And she mostly wishes to retract the hateful words she said to her dad right before slamming the door in his face, only to never see him again.
All her desires get sidelined, though, when she overhears two fellow students planning a church massacre. She doubts cops will follow up on her tip since they’re sick of her coming around with notions of possible crimes-in-the-works. And it’s not like she cries wolf. Not really. They’d be freaked too, but they’re not the ones suffering from bloody dreams that hint at disaster like some crazy, street guy forecasting the Apocalypse.
So, she does what any habitual winner with zero cred would do…try to I.D. the nutjobs before they act. But, when their agenda turns out to be far bigger than she ever assumed, and even friends start looking suspect, the truth and her actions threaten to haunt her forever, especially since she’s left with blood on her hands, the blood of someone she loves.
Starred Reviews
Majesty,
spunky and defiant, stumbles upon a disastrous church massacre plot and
will do anything to intervene before innocent people are killed. The
scenes are so believable that I can already picture some of them coming
to life. The story has a complex plot, but once you start reading it’ll
be hard to put down! - Candace (Lovey Dovey Books)
This
book... was something else. I'll start with the outside and work my way
in so I can form the right words for what I want to say about Kings
& Queens. The cover is gorgeous. I love the colors, I love the
slight grunge feel to it with the text and brushes. The lips and
everything about the cover sums up what you'll get to look forward to in
the book. Confused? You should be. - Missy (Missy's Reads & Reviews)

Vail's Kings & Queens has a complex and vivid story. At times, I
found myself confused about some of the events that took place and how
they came about. The characters and their individual POV's are just as
complex, but each is really unique. I didn't really understand what was
going on with the dreams of disaster--were they real premonitions or
just their minds playing off the events happening in real life? And
there were times when we are fed so much information that it can be
overwhelming sometimes. - Christina Madison
