Kings & Queens: Kindle Book of the Day 8/6

Addictive to the point of being intoxicating, Kings & Queens from author Courtney Vail is the exact reason why YA books are so popular with adults. Heroine Majesty Alistair is wrapped up in her teen crushes until she catches wind of mass-murder plot that the police would never believe. Now she's got to find a way to stop it or become a victim herself. Thrilling and well worth it!

Name: Kings & Queens
Rating: 4.4 stars over 25 reviews
Price: 4.69
Description: 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.

Reviews: "Imagine knowing something terrible is about to happen but no one believes you. Imagine being unsure who is an enemy and who is a friend. Seventeen-year-old Majesty Alistair finds herself in just such a position when she overhears two fellow students planning a church massacre. Intent on unmasking the culprits, she stumbles into something far bigger and more dangerous than she ever could have dreamed. Can she avert disaster in time? Disturbing, dark and immensely powerful ... this is one of the most original YA novels I've read in a while, and definitely the most gritty."
