Stone Cold Queen was slightly better than book 1, so I’m impressed. I’m also glad I got to read more sex scenes between the main characters becuz I was ranting to Court about book 1, how there was only 1 sex scene & she said, “alright, when u finish lemme know if the series is worth it. Im not as stingey with sex scenes as you are. 😂'' She knows me well, lol.We start off in the beginning where you see Ava trying too hard to be a baddie/tough where it just became hard to connect with her. I hate

This book is full of secrets and violence. The female character suffers a lot! It’s sad!

This book was so painfully frustrating to me!! It was 70% relationship angst/teen drama and 30% actual plot progression. This feels like a filler book, a placeholder that doesn’t answer ANY questions from the previous cliffhanger but drops a few more hints on what’s to come for the next book.Literally the first 22 CHAPTERS are nothing but relationship drama between the main characters, Ave and Dean. Now, if you love this kinda thing then your gonna be super happy. Normally I do too but in smalle...

****AVAILABLE NOW****4 StarsI’m definitely invested in this story, particularly because of the characters. I love all three guys, and Avalon is one of my favorite heroines - cold as steel. I will say that her trauma, while explored in the beginning is dropped rather quickly and seems no longer to affect her. I loved the opening but it just faded. No matter what, though, my love for Avalon grew in this book. I don’t know what it is about this cold-hearted savage woman, but I love her. Dean, Able,...

3.5 ⭐I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first half. Not feeling Avalon 😕 RTC

3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️Ok so Stone Cold Queen wasn’t as good as Pretty Little Savage In my opinion. This book was a little more far fetched and I truly can’t believe I’m going to say this, because when I say I love a strong FMC.. I mean it! I even look for that when picking a book to read…so to say this out loud is painful, but Avalon’s character is a little overboard with being a bad ass! It’s just over the top too much. There’s nothing feminine about her, no softness to her, no personality and she’s

ALRIGHT- THis is what I’m talking about, Lucy! Our story picks up after the jaw dropping conclusion of the last book- one that ripped out my insides. And our amazing, feisty, tough as nails heroine has to process all that has happened, as she both figures out who to trust and who deserves her revenge. We get to watch our little savage take control, come into her own darkness, and step up as a might and formidable queen- a queen who never stops fighting, refuses to be controlled, and survives som...

*ARC provided in exchange for honest review*I have been dying for answers and more of the sick boys since I read book one. This was perfection. I have so many theories that I am dying to find out if I am right. Avalon is still the badass we know from book one and while I was hoping for a bit more grovel I still adored it. Deans growing a bit in his character arc as are the other Sick boys. The suspense vibes and wondering who the behind the scenes puppet masters are was amazing. Avalon is embrac...

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS "Stone Cold Queen" is the second book of the "Sick Boys" series by the author Lucy Smoke. Told in dual perspectives , get ready to swoon over the sick boys again!!! After reading the first book , I was absolutely gobsmacked. My reaction after reading this book was even more shocking. You think the first book was full of twists and so hot , just let me warn you about this one!! This author has totally blown my mind and I can't even tell you g...

I really am enjoying this series. I liked Dean a lot better in this book than the first as I felt in the first on Avalon’s personality overshadowed his. In this one he was a lot more stronger not just vocally but in his actions too. The twists in this book was very well done and I can’t wait for next one. On a side note for those like myself who don’t like RH but maybe thought it was because of the blurb well be assured it’s not as even I was a bit wary when I requested ARC but so glad to stay i...

Stone Cold Queen is book 2 in the Sick Boys series from Lucy smokes and once again an addicting ride.I love a savage heroine and Avalon Manning is just that. She's everything I would normally use to describe a hero, vicious, cold, strong, a little bit crazy. There are heroines and then there are heroines. Then there is Dean Carter, and I just love them as well. He's used to everyone falling at his feet and let's face it Avalon is not that person.The twist and turns are back with Stone Cold Queen...

This book is just as dark & twisted as the first one, and it is glorious! It will make you laugh, curse, hold your breath, gasp out loud, and fan your face. The push & pull between Dean and Avalon isn't over, and it's deliciously torturous. The romantic tension, secrets, suspense, and snark make this a definite page-turner that will leave you guessing and on the edge of your seat in the best way. Buckle up bitches, cuz Avalon is about to go on a wild ride, and you get a front row seat to the sho...

Holy. Crap. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!Y’all, this book. These characters. I’m in so deep with them and I am seriously loving every second.Avalon Manning? Queen. QUEEN!!!! She’s this beautiful, vicious, strong, crazy woman and I will support her until my very last breath. Dean Carter? Ohhhhh, my man is legit. These two are so made for each other. I love this man, love the way he loves Ava. They’re both intense and dark, their demons as much soulmates as they are. They are everything on their own, but toge...

Stone Cold Queen is just as captivating as the first in the series. I really love how this plot is set up. This would make for a good movie. Ava doesn't take bs even from the sick boys. Ava is as snarky as she is beautiful. She has the confidence I only dream of. The series is a literary masterpiece. Lucy is talented and knows how to pack a punch.

Holy shit ! What a addicting dark bloody roller coaster ride of twists and turns this book was ! I’m obsessed with these characters and this world that this author has created OBSESSED I tell you! Avalon Manning and Dean Carter were made for each other ! I’ve never read a book where I was more sure of a couple belonging together but these two were definitely made for each other. I love Avalon Manning she is by far my favorite lead female character I’ve read about to date ! She’s strong beautiful...

I've got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.This freaking book is a killer of mine! I mean, I loved every freaking twisted dark second of it! This is exactly MY TYPE of book and I crave more of Lucy's writing!!As I said in my previous review this book just fulfills everything inside of me. In a book I need rage, violence, hurt, love, anger, danger, hate and so much more and the author has delivered this and much more!I love when the story has a strong H and even stronger h, it

Stone Cold Queen by mother freaking Lucy Smoke kicked my ass, ground my heart into a pulp, and spit it out in a bloody heap.Holy shit.Avalon is a BEAST. This dark, gritty, VIOLENT, sexy AF book is a rollercoaster of emotions. Dean. DEAN, y'all. That man has jumped up on my list of book boyfriends because he is alpha, possessive, and a little deranged. And I LOVE it. Avalon and Dean are destined and I'm so damn glad they are finally getting to that point. Their push/pull was hot as hell and I liv...

Sexier and A More Twisted Read I’m not afraid of him, I crave himA 5 star read for sureThat goes without saying that I absolutely CRAVED this book. I couldn’t wait to finally read the sequel of Pretty Little Savage, and now that I have, oh my god. I don’t know what I expected to happen in STQ, all I knew for sure was that it was most likely going to rock my world. And rock did it do. I wasn’t sure if Avalon was gonna break from her trauma or if it was only gonna make her stronger. Now looking ba...

This book ends on a cliffhanger. Supposedly, the third book ("Natural Born Killers") is coming out in April 2021. I like the series enough to look forward to the next book. I will say, however, Avalon's character development has been stagnant. In the 1st book, I enjoyed how independent and badass she was. In this 2nd book, she was annoying (and to be honest, MORE PSYCHO than badass). Dean's character development has been great! He's exposing more of his vulnerability to Avalon and proving just h...

I was so not ready for this book to end. It was so damn good. So good. I already want to read it again, it’s that kind of good.I want to be Avalon, I mean, bar the fact that she always seems to find herself in less than ideal situations, I’d leave that to her. But the attitude and total badassery (not a word? It still applies here) is everything my old self now aspires to be.“I don’t know how or why, but in the last few months, I’ve fixated on one Miss Avalon Manning in a way that I can objectiv...
