The angst, romance , and the friendships are everything here!!! But the heroine Ari, definitely is like no other! She always puts her people first regardless of her feelings. I actually felt pity for her as she is selfless, loyal and dedicated to everyone around her. Being the Alpha queen is not all that jacked up to be. Is definitely has more downs then Up. But Ari is so strong. Regardless if her love for her swoony bear is forbidden, she can’t deny fate. Her heart . He is so freaking lovable!!! LOVED IT!! cant wait for the next one!

Man, this book was exciting from start to finish. I loved how Ari & Kade’s relationship progressed throughout the book as for awhile there I totally thought that Ari would decide to mate for the good of their people and do what the rules dictate and not for what’s in her heart and mate for love. This book is a lot more action packed than book 1. The Bears totally rule the right way and mate for love always. There were a few twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting but all I can say is that I really don’t like the Wolf Council, Selene or Sabina and hopefully they get what’s coming to them for what they’ve done to Ari, all because of her love for Kade. I’m hoping that at least Blaine ends up finding his fated mate since he loves Ari and deserves happiness. I’ve got so many questions that’ll hopefully be answered in the next book such as whether or not Ari, Kade & their guards find and rescue Vi. She probably wont actually need to be rescued, as I can totally see her saving herself. She’ll totally be gaining as much information she can from the Fae while she’s been in the Otherworld. I’m thinking she’ll work towards on an alliance with the Summer court Fae so they can finally know how to defeat the Dark Fae from trying to sl*ughter all the shifters and take over the world since the Otherworld is dying. Also will we find out the meaning of the message from the deceased Red Queen to Ari as they used the Mecca to cross into the Otherworld. I’d recommend this book, series & both authors to everyone.
‘Queen Alpha’ is book two in the co-authored series NYC Mecca by Leia Stone and Jaymin Eve.
This book picks up where book one ‘Queen Heir’ ends, so it’s highly recommended that you read that first.
With the Fae attack fresh and the loss of a Dominant, Arianna and her wolves will mourn and try to convince the council to prepare for the enemy that keeps showing up and killing shifters. The Red Queen’s murder also needs to be solved. The alliance between the Wolves and Bears is new and a lot of the wolves are questioning Ari’s decision.
Wow, wow, wow! I knew this series was going to be good when I saw what authors wrote it. What a dynamic duo Jaymin and Leia make, these ladies are extremely talented, both with their own unique touch the story flows so well that it is near impossible to tell who wrote what.
This story is fast paced, full of mystery, magic, shifters, forbidden attraction, secrets and angst. I was on the edge of my seat, flipping the pages with such ferocity wanting to know what was going to happen next. I completely forgot about the real world whilst I travelled to NYC to be amongst the Mecca and Shifters.
Well done ladies, I’m diving right in to ‘Queen Fae’ now.
A Gripping Read From Start To Finish!!

Queen Alpha (NYC Mecca Series Book 2)
I really enjoyed all the drama & court intrigue in this book! Of course the building forbidden romance & heat between Arianna and Kade is fantastic too! The addition of Sir Balador is both mysterious & fascinating, I have to believe he’d never deliberately hurt the ‘love of his life’ so hope he’s completely on Ari & Kade’s side!!
Selene, the Council & their magic born are all loathsome, power hungry fools!! I can’t wait to start book #3 tomorrow, after some much needed sleep.Lol

Queen Alpha by Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone a supreme five star read. This is the second book in the NYC Mecca series and Its amazing, the first book Queen Heir was fabulous, and this book was so much better, I have such high hopes for book three I may burst while waiting. These two authors truly write as one, when you get two authors co-writing you usually can tell who wrote what chapter as there is always a tell with the style of writing, but these two are seamless.
Arianna has taken over from the Red Queen after her sudden passing and has been lovingly named as the Queen Alpha by the wolves she rules over. Arianna hasn’t had an easy path and she should know life never goes smoothly. Sadly, Arianna doesn’t have time to settle into her role as Queen as there is a problem with the Mecca, and even though a certain Bear is helping her get control over it, it keeps getting worse.
Arianna must do the impossible and somehow work with bears, and that includes a certain King Kade. Their working together leads to problems as Bears and Wolves have always been enemies, and have always stuck to their own kind, but can a common enemy make them fight together as one? Or will their people be too upset at the prospect of “Karianna” that they would revolt causing them both to lose everything? Will a kiss from 5 years ago be enough to give their love a chance? Or will another wolf catch Arianna’s eye, someone who has been under her eye all along? life could be simple if she chose a mate from her own kind? But is life every really simple?
