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 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.Īll her desires get sidelined, though, when she overhears two fellow students planning a church massacre. 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.
There’s so much manipulation through the pages of Kings and Queens that even I was fooled! Not being able to unravel the web of truths and untruths until the very end made this a fun and addictive novel. The unidentified suspect could have absolutely been anyone, and I’ll admit that I suspected characters that were completely innocent. The characters’ distinct voices didn’t eliminate guilt from suspects until everything was said and done. Everyone used the same kind of language, but when jumping from multiple perspectives throughout the story without a set pattern, I noticed how each character sounded distinctly different.Įven with such strong individuals, it took Majesty’s super sleuth powers to dig deep as the ocean for the truth. She has a way of making the characters seem so genuine by their actions, decisions and even the slang they speak. Vail’s writing is as different as a prince to a lowly peasant.
The story has a complex plot, but once you start reading it’ll be hard to put down! The scenes are so believable that I can already picture some of them coming to life. Majesty, spunky and defiant, stumbles upon a disastrous church massacre plot and will do anything to intervene before innocent people are killed.
