No!!! I need more!!! It's not fair!! ?
This book I have to say was THE BEST, I did not stop reading!! I can't believe you stopped writing there, I can't spoil it to those who haven't read it yet, but things had happened, REALLY BIG THINGS, and it was getting back on track with a plan/quest and then it's finished!!
Can't believe it!! ???

We learnt more things in this book and saw how Ari will be a loving, protecting Queen to her people and how she will go to the ends of the earth or otherworlds ? to save her family of friends.

I want to say more but won't otherwise I really will spoil things but make sure to read Queen Heir before reading this and as soon as you've finished it, get to work on reading this because it's BREATHTAKING!! ?❤️?

Next book is Queen Fae and is coming Late April and fingers crossed we get Leia and Jaymin to put it early release!! ??❤️❤️

Blonde & Blue Reviews

Well wow!!! I can't believe how good these authors are at spinning such amazing stories. Each book ties up everything so that the reader still wants to know more, but it doesn't leave you hanging wondering what just happened. I read the last page and then said, wait what? As in I WANT MORE. It doesn't have a huge cliffhanger, just an ohhhhh wait I want to read the rest of the series now.

So Ari is a pretty amazing queen in this book, as is kade a great king. I don't want to share spoilers, but I loved how things played out in this book and where things hopefully pan out. Both authors are pretty great at keeping the story positive, even with opposition pounding on doors. They know how to twist the fictional world and end the things happily.

Again GREAT JOB!!

WOW. Just, wow! I got completely sucked into this book from the very beginning, and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I was nervous (in the best way possible) for most of the book. Although I ended up thoroughly enjoying "Queen Heir", I had a few issues getting into it, and with too much tell and not enough show - not so with "Queen Alpha"! The plot moves forward at a quick but well-developed pace which had me anxiously checking the bottom of my Kindle to see how much was left in the book. We're introduced to some fascinating new characters, while known characters become more complex. There's also fantastic mythology and world-building - always a strong suit with Leia and Jaymin.

Highly recommend, and eagerly await the next installment!

I thought the first book, Queen Heir was awesome...this one blew me away. Each book keeps getting better! It has everything I could want in a book: romance, drama, a hot guy (insert wink here), plenty of passion and all the feels. I absolutely love Ari and Kade and the pull between them. I was rooting for them even through the obstacles that were in their way. I enjoyed getting to know more of the supporting characters too and I really felt like I was right there beside them. I felt happiness and pain right along with the characters. It definitely produced an emotional response in me. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book...

Leia Stone and Jaymin Eve are phenomenal together! This is a must read (after the first one) you will love it!

These two authors can create stories as though they come from one mind. Just like the Hive Series, the NYC Mecca Series captures the imagination and pulls it into the realm of a fantastic, imaginative world. Following the rise of the Queen Heir, the existence of the Otherworld becomes known to Arianna and it falls to her to bring back the former balance between her world and the mysterious land of the Fae. As of that weren't enough, there's trouble afoot at home and a forbidden love to forget.
Both Queen Heir and Queen Alpha are good enough to read again, which I might have to do to pass the time until the third book comes out in the Spring. I guarantee you'll enjoy these books and encourage you to check out the other books by these authors.

"Damn bear." This second installment in the NYC Mecca series blew me away. I rarely give out 5 stars but when I do it is to books that grip me from page one and don't let me go. There are so many aspects to these books that have me all tied up in knots. Star crossed lovers, fantasy, parallel universes, magic, a little bit of romance, and best of all hard core women who don't sit around and wait to be saved- but rather do the saving. There are aspects of high fantasy (something that I normally don't care for as much ) that are engrained seamlessly into this storyline making it all the more intriguing, and boistering my adoration for these authors. I have loved every Leia Stone book I have read and I can not wait for the next installment of this series.

I started reading this book honestly because the title and the cover peeked my interests. I had a hard time really getting into this book. The beginning was not very captivating but i stuck through and as I read more the story started piping my interest. Now i am nor then excited to confine reading to find out what happens to Arianna. I have thoughts that Sabina and the fae conspired together to kill the red queen. I cant wait til Ari takes her crown back and smacks selene in the face. She is just to annoying.

Queen Alpha picked up off at just after Queen Heir's slightly aggravating cliff hanger. As per usual, Jaymin and Leia both did amazing work; the story line was creative, new, and unusual while the characters were developed and interesting. It was a fast paced read that left me crying, laughing, and squealing in delight. Kade and Arianna are a great couple (yes, everything does eventually work out) and it was super fun to watch them interact with each other. Meanwhile I was also hoping for Selene's untimely death (it didn't happen) and angry at the unknown villain, who is revealed later on. There were lots of surprises and quite a bit was explained, but it did leave us with more questions than answers and a cliff hanger. Needless to say, I cannot wait for Queen Fae and all the plot twists to come.

Even though Arianna won the Summit and taken the crown of wolf shifters, she hasn't had the time to settle into her royal life. Something isn't right with the mecca and she has to fix it before the fae make another appearance on Earth. Arianna needs to work with the bear King, King Kade, to save both their people. Which easier said then done when he tempts her in every way and a relationship between them can never happen.
Queen Alpha is chock-a-block full of adventure, witty humour and action. Every moment something is happening, making it hard to put it down. Jaymin and Leia have done it again with Queen Alpha and I will continue to forever read their works, both individually and together!

These ladies are amazing! They have given us an amazing sequel to Queen Heir. Normally it's hard to say that the second book was better than the first, but that is not the case here. I love the twist and turns they took us on, and have lead me to certain theories of what is to come. There is certain someone I would love to peel her eyes out with a spoon and feed them to her, but read, this and I'm sure you will be on the same boat as me. There are so many developments in this one that are pivotal to the plot and leave you guessing. I am anxious to see where Leia and Jaymin take this and if any of my predictions were true. I know, I'm one of those lol I would definitely recommend this to anyone

The dynamic duo has struck again! Queen Alpha was phenomenal, from the beginning to the end. It has the perfect amount of romance, secrets and betrayal, action and suspense to wet your appetite for more, much more. I love the world that Jaymin and Leia have created, it just draws you in and makes you feel as if you are there with the characters. I must say how much I LOVE Kade, they sure do know how to create such drool worthy men in their books. Arianna is awesome, who wouldn't want to be Ari after reading her story, and what a story it is turning out to be. I cannot wait for the remaining books in the series. I highly recommend the NYC Mecca series.

First I dont even remember how I stumbled across Jaymin and Leia's books, but after reading one there was no stopping. Then they started writing together. Omg. Take two amazing writers and put them together, and you have something out of this world. Queen Alpha is second in the Mecca series. After the first book, I wanted all of them, it was so hard to wait. But O man, the wait was worth it, just when you think a story can not get any better it does. You want to be Ari, you wish you had some King Kade in your life. You laugh, you cry, you cheer, and you hold your breath. If you havent read the first book yet, grab it read it, then continue this amazing story with Queen Alpha.

Do you love strong characters, an amazing love story that will have you laughing then crying, and tons of action and adventure? If so, this is totally for you. Jaymin and Leia wrote a roller coaster of a story that each twist and turn was worth every minute. I was devastated when the story ended. I have to know what happens next. This book was better than the first and, let me tell you, Kade is now one of my favorite book boyfriends. Pick this up and read. You will not regret it!

As always Jaymin Eve and Leila Stone had me going through all the feels in Queen Alpha. This one was a little slow to start for me, but once the action picked up I struggled to put it down. Now I am anxiously waiting for the next one! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves Jaymin or Leia's books. You will not be disappointed!!

I was offered the opportunity to read this early in exchange for an honest review. That being said, I am so glad that at I did! This us the second book in the series, Queen Heir being the first. If you haven't read that, please stop, go read it, and then come back. This is a great series.

As for my review...This book was great! Well written by two wonderful authors, it had me cheering on the Queen and wanting to throttle those that were against her. Being able to easily picture everything that happens and anticipate what is yet to come is a must for me, and Queen Alpha delivered. I could feel the characters' emotions and was able to lose myself in them. I found myself laughing, cringing, saddened, and happy. One last emotion... bummed, because I now have to wait for book 3.

Thank you Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone. I loved Queen Alpha for paying off on the relationship between Arianna and Kade. And I just have to say that Selene sucks, and I love it.

The flow of the book was great and it was over far too soon. I'm invested in the characters, the story, and the world... I'm ready for the next book! It was a great way to end this book and make us beg for the next. Great job ladies, I want more!

I loved the first installment of this series BUT this one was AMAZING! I could not put it down and was kept on the edge the whole time! These two ladies have totally hit it out of the park with this one. Thank you Leia and Jaymin! I can not wait to see what happens in the next book! COME ON APRIL!

This series definitely needs to be on your must read or even re-read. I promise you will not regret it one bit!

Awesome! This book is the second in the series and I really need book three. The first book was an introduction really; introduction to the world, the characters and the problems. This book has taken that and gave us the mystery, the secrets, etc. Jaymin and Leia are honestly the BEST world builders ever. I feel like I'm right there in the Mecca while I'm reading. I can't get over how badly I need book three!

This book followed right along with book one with keeping things interesting. There a many twists and turns to the story to keep the readers on the edge of their seats. Hopefully ari will be able to resolve the issues that arose in this book in book three. I’m anxiously waiting to find out.

This is the second book in the series. Which takes place in NY City. There is an imbalance in the energy flowing from Earth to the Fae world. The Fae are blaming the shifters and are attacking them. While the Queen of the wolf shifters and the King of the bear shifters are trying to fight their shared forbidden romance. They are trying to figure out what's causing the energy imbalance.

Leia Stone and Jaymin Eve are 2 authors that when books are released i don't even question buying them, I already know they'll be amazing. And this is legit amazingness. I could not stop reading if I wanted to and am super in love with the whole story line. It has shifters, fae, magic and forbidden love. Definitely recommend this series and am super excited for Queen Fae!

Oh my goodness! Queen Alpha was amazing! I could not put this book down. I love Ari and Kade. The supporting cast is great as well, even the villains! The book starts off quick and never slows down. Fast paced and intense - there was never a dull moment. There was heat, there was humor, there was action - this series has it all! I can't wait to find out what happens next!

This second book in this series is nicely written it follows the jealousy of other minions trying to gain a better life over others using treachery and magic but it also helps you see how it can create a vacuumed to suck you down at the same time.

Queen Alpha continues where Queen Heir left off and things are starting to come together! Things are making more sense but you are still left wondering. I have so many theories running in my head that I am dying to read Queen Fae! The writing is easy to follow and I really enjoyed it as I have with all books written by Jaymin and Leia! <3

This book is amazing. So many twists and turns to keep you engulfed in this one! Ari & Kade are faced with many obstacles in their forbidden romance and race to save the Mecca from the fae and return balance to both worlds. You won't want to miss out on this one! The only downfall is the huge cliffhanger ending ( I stared in shock for about 5 minutes at the last page) and needing to wait for the next!

I can not say enough good things about this book! They left us hanging at the end of queen heir and did not disappoint in giving us just the right amount of heartbreak, love, anxiety, action. There is too many words to describe the awesomeness that is Jaymin and Leia. Keep on writing ladies because I'm sure I'm not the only waiting one waiting!!!!! Amazing! Awesome! Fantastical! Ruins you for all other books!

Another home run from Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone! This follow up to Queen Heir continues the story of Ari and Kade. It's an exciting book that keeps you thristy for more. The secrets, the lies, the romance, they all kept me at the edge of my seat. I enjoyed this book more than the first one so, if you liked Queen Heir, you'll love this one!

I think this may just be my absolute favorite book the duo has written together. This continuation of Arianna's story is fraught with action and all the feels. I laughed, cried a little, and wanted to throat punch Selene and the council. I highly recommend this series and cannot wait to get my hands on Queen Fae and see what comes next

Few authors can exceed expectations, but Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone always seem to do so. My heart was tugged, bruised, elated, and enraged all throughout this book. I fell deeper in love with the characters, and hated certain characters with a fury that surprised me. I highly, highly recommend this book, and all books in this series!

It seems like every book Jaymin and Leia write together is my new favorite. This is no exception. I was worried Queen Alpha wouldn't be as good as Queen Heir...I shouldn't have doubted them. I laughed and I cried and I didn't want it to end! I'm so glad they have an aggressive publishing schedule for this series - I can't get enough!

Queen Alpha is a great read! I read the Matefinder series and loved the story. I saw that Leia had a new series out with Queen Heir but did not want to start until the series was complete. I hate starting a series only to wait for the next book to release. I received an advanced copy and read Queen Heir and Queen Alpha in a few days time. The story line is amazing and the perfect balance between substance and romance. I love Ari as a heroine and feel that she has a great balance of being strong and taking care of herself but she also relies on her friends and Kade at times. I cannot wait to see what happens with Violet!! She is my favorite character in the book, super feisty magic wolf :) Bring on the third book!!!

Get ready to feel every emotion - joy, sadness, anxiety, love, and of course anger....this book is a perfect compliment and continuation of this story that mixes some of my favorite things - strong females and sexy alphas!!! I'm looking forward to the next book, the story has lead me to the edge of my seat with ths next part of this journey for some of my favorite characters! Excellent collaboration - this is what fantasy books should be!!!!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
After reading Queen Heir I was a bit disappointed that the second installment to the series hadn't come out yet, but after reading Queen Alpha, it was well worth the wait! Leia Stone and Jaymin Eve did not disappoint! Can't wait for the third installment in a few months :)

Like the first one, this book immediately sinks its claws in and doesn't let go until it's finished. An amazing read filled with action and surprise throughout the entire thing. It was near impossible for me to put it down once I started. Leia and Jaymin have created a beautiful and amazingly engrossing story that leaves you craving more.
