Tiera McMillian's Reviews > A Torn Paige (Hidden Kingdom, #1

What a great start to the series! I have to admit that the whole time I was really getting "Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen #1) by Joely Sue Burkhart" vibes. While this for sure lacks the blood stuff lol. The concept of finding the lost "Queen" was very similar. However the similarities stop there. Our FMC, Paige, was great. Funny, kind of a bad A, and always putting herself in awkward situations. Love, Loved her.

Paige wakes up one day after apparently dying and crawls herself out of a shallow grave to find herself completely changed. Now she must live off human flesh. She doesn't know what she is.. her only true friend is a beast named Ezra who has helped her since she emerged. Unfortunately the story kind of zooms ahead and we don't get to see the bond between Ezra and Paige grow as they tackle this new world together. Apparently he teaches her to feed and fight. Paige is further thrust into the unknown when a family dinner goes awry as a demon holds everyone hostage. She finds other super natural species and is soon to find the answers to all her questions. If only she could get control of her vagina which seems to have gone off the deep end. As Paige is revealed as Queen of the ghouls, she realizes right quick that she and her family are in super danger from the demons who have started being called to her through her power they must escape to her new kingdom. Paige learns really quick that while her kingdom looks great from the outside.. it seems to need a cleanup crew for the selfish and self serving. Putting things to rights is going to take a lot of work.. Luckily for her she is surrounded by all these hot dudes that her ghoul seems to have claimed for her own...

I loved where this seems to be heading but I'm super upset by that cliffhanger.. This can't be the end.. I'm diving right into book 2 asap because I can't stop here..
