Reigning Queen

Blood Empire #4

by Alisha Williams

Did you really think we would just run off into the sunset and our lives would be all rainbows and sunshine? More like bl00d and d€ad bodies.

With my sister living close by and getting her happily ever after, my life is pretty content. Even if I have to remind Neo that Melody is not his but don’t get me started on that.

My life is as peaceful as it can be well the life of a s€ial k!ller can get anyways. My life is hardly what one would call calming or relaxing, not that I mind.

So why would now be any different?

There are just a few things. Like when I get some life altering news. I know the guys will be thrilled but it will come with big changes, changes I'm not sure I'm ready for.

It's not going to be easy, especially when my past comes back to haunt me. Only these three aren't just any old monsters under the bed….

No next to Triver, these are the worst of the WORST of my past. And of course that comes with a twist no one was expecting.

Queenie is gonna have a hard time letting go and for me to be in control when everything comes to light, but what else is new?

Who's ready for one last bl00y ride filled with steam, laughs, cries, and of course bodi€s? Can't have a D-Day without those!

What a way to end!
This was all you could want for Queenie and her found family 😍 you get to see the development of how they’ve fitted together especially with the Harlow/Queenie hybrid and what this means for the dynamics in their relationships 😃 it’s fun to still see the antics her men get up to in winding each other up and being possessive over their team with Harlow, as well as Rosie! Thankfully Mamma E is there as a calming force 😅 their family is about to change in a whole new way and I love the different sides this brings out in Harlow and her harem…definitely some crazy at play 😂 the best thing though is the finality and closure she gets from her past!! A really good tie up to the original trilogy 👌

What an end to an amazing series! This series has been my all time favorite, and Harlow is my favorite FMC. Her strength and fierce personality are amazing. All she has been through and overcome.

It was so exciting to see how their relationships has developed, and how Harlow has gotten so close with her sister. Loved the dynamic between the characters, and how amazing they are with each other.

The twist was so unexpected, but executed perfectly. Can’t wait to meet them again in other books.
Can’t believe it’s the end of Harlow and her guys, and Evie. So now I’m off to reread the whole series 😍🫶🏻

I loved this novella. I cant wait to see more of these characters in other books, but as far as their story goes, this was a great ending. I still had some questions after their last book, and this answered them all. As always, spicy, spicy, spicy, and freaking hilarious. I love how she can make psychotic and humor go together so well. Definitely need to read the other books before this one and it would help to have read Emerald Prep as well. 100% reccomend! Hop9ng Roxy's story is next!

I absolutely LOVED this book! This is the ending to Queenie’s story I didn’t even know I needed! We get to see Harlow in love and growing stronger in her relationships and life.

Reigning Queen did not let me down in the spice either. It was short, sweet, bloody and hot AF. You will not regret reading this book!

[Michelle Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this book was so great! It was so good to be reunited with Queenie and her harem. It’s so fun to see what everyone is up to, how their life is like. It’s like catching up with old friends. If your old friends are like Neo and Queenie and have a penchant for blood and violence. Love love love this super spicy, short novella!

[Cheyenne Rousseau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

I'm upset that over and this was a twist I didn't expect. I wish we saw their futures a little bit more but I loved this series none the less

[Kathy Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The finally we've been waiting for.

I really liked it. Neo as crazy as can be. I'm not sure that it fit the blurb about coming back from Queenie cause she didn't seem to have any problem. But it was a great little book to add to the rest. I gave it 4 stars because it was just to short. Everything went so fast and I wish we had more with Amelia and her guys in the mix. Yes this is queenie's book but I wish they were in it more seeing they moved all the way there. I wish there had been more danger like other books. I like the easy of it too but we love drama danger and possessive alpha holes that save them. However I still love both characters from both books. I know it said she would be in future ones but I'm confused who would be next to write about. Most of the other characters are barely side characters so there wasn't much interest. But what would be good is the next generation. What would queenies kids do and would they bring melody and Karson or any future kids in it. It make for a great generational book I think. Anyways what a great book so glad go to see both crews again.

Yessss! I’m so happy to have Queenie and her gang back together!!! I’m happy happy to have gotten more into their stores after their HFN ending!!

I almost forgot how stabby stabby Queenie can be! And boy I still just love Neo! Just as unhinged, blood thirsty and possessive as ever!!

I loved seeing other characters make appearances from other series! It’s like extra scenes we didn’t get but needed!! And boy this was definitely a story we needed! It ties up those lingering questions you have at the end Savage Queen, but also gives some insight as to what’s in store for their future! I’m so excited about it bc I just love when the “stabby” women goes soft (ish)! If you know Harlow and Queenie, you just know! lol

I also love Rosie and I wouldn’t be mad if we got a something of her story! 🖤

I will always shout from the rooftops about my love for the Blood Empire series, so when I heard the author was giving us more Queenie, I was beyond excited. This novella was jam packed with excitement and only further solidified my love for this group of characters.

Of course, with the Blood Empire crew back, we also got to spend some time with the ELP group and I love seeing them all settled as families. Don’t worry though, Queenie still brings plenty of bloodshed (with lots of help from my favorite, Neo, of course!)

Even for a novella, I got so much happiness from this read. I laughed, I cringed (Queenie and Neo really go for broke in this story 😂), and I fanned myself over the spicy scenes. Alisha may be done with Queenie, but my love for these books will never die!

[Kerri Vogel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Queenie is one of my all time favorite characters. She is unhinged in the best way and her D days are something spectacular to read about. I was so excited to hear that they author was writing a final book to wrap up her story. It is a novella, but I like to think of it as a really long epilogue to her and Emmy's stories. This book shows some growth in all of the characters and wraps up the final bit of trauma from Queenie's past. You can really see how they will be able to have their happy ending at this point. There are a few characters mentioned here that I am hopeful may one day get stories of their own. Either way, it was wonderful to return to the world of Queenie one last time.

[Shari Virgillito · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of my FAVORITE RH family! Alisha you wrote a gut wrenchingly perfect HEA for Harlow/Queeie and the fam! Harlow/Queenie being pregnant needs a comedy show, Neo being Neo was fantastic as always. There was some slicey & dicey with a show, STEAM in all the random places, Rosie Sass, and an HEA!
I really hope one day if you decide to give Rosie or Leah a story. Just reading about all of the trials/tribulations that those poor other halves (who knows how many they’ll have) will have to go through to show their worth will be down right edge of your seat insanity! I will totally be there for it!!
If you haven’t read the Blood Empire series, please pick it up and fall down the rabbit hole of madness and feel good empowerment. You won’t be disappointed!!

[Teresa Juckett (Love Dark Reads) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish I could give more than 5 ⭐'s just on Neo alone. Oh my lord Queenie is back with her men and woman and this time she gets to take care of something from her past that's been a long time coming and finally put it behind her the best she can along with the help from her family. I swear Neo and his crazy psycho self had me laughing so hard at the thing's he was doing and his comments. I still laugh at the farm animals they have especially Bacon. The other guy's just take it in stride and don't even bother saying anything lol. We do get to see Emmy and her men in here as well, because apparently they live beside each other. I laughed way to hard at that. Oh you absolutely need to read this, it was such a good final ending.

Reigning Queen, book 4 of the series Blood Empire, by Alisha Williams @alishawilliamsauthor. Alisha is a favorite author of mine! Read the trigger warnings! You must read this series in order.

Whelp, as blood cray cray as Queenie & Neo are, this was an amazing bonus novella!😂 I loved getting this look back into Blood Empire to catch up with Sam, Evie, Axel, Cass, Neo & Harlow/Queenie. Honestly, just read the series! If you like FF, RH, unaliving, revenge is best served & lots of love for each other, then this is for you.

[Ande GIDGET Oliva · Rating 5 out of 5]

I missed Queenie. So glad we got this small look I to their future and have Harlow and Queenie finally get the closure they needed. I love seeing Harlow be so vulnerable in this time she let's her family really see her and love on her the way they always want to but don't get to because she's so tough and strong and capable. This novella really wrapped things up in a way that I am so satisfied but also excited to see where all the kids go in the future. Alisha has created one of the best worlds ever.

[Emma Hull · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best ending for the characters please read the first three books before this series and the tie in books of the emerald lake prep series cause you’ll never understand what’s happened previously. Such a way of putting the characters to rest and giving them the ending they deserve is more than I can say but read the trigger warnings and you’ll love the way things are connected and finished amazing well worth the read and wait for the end of the series love it x

[Skay Dee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was like a super extended epilogue. It was great to actually see the characters in a life changing event and seeing how they are day to day. It was so sweet even though Neo is as crazy as ever. I also loved the final bit of revenge that Queenie gets. It was heart breaking to read and see what it put Harlow and the guys through, but worth every second. If you need a little more of Queenie, Harlow, and their men, then this is for you!

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have really missed these characters. This novella is the perfect ending to this series. Harlow has really come a long way since book 1, she has opened up and made herself vulnerable to her loves. She trusts them with herself. They all love her unconditionally, and their relationships are so beautiful. Loved seeing Emmy and her crew too. This is still a Blood Empire book so of course we get a few darker elements, but ultimately this is Harlow’s happy ever after and I loved every second

[Kit Spirit · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fast burn, high heat, wrap up to the whole series. It was fun to dive back into this world once last time and also see characters from the emerald lake prep series. Love that we got one last D-day with Queenie and Neo and we got to see her take a bit more revenge on those that hurt her in the past. We get a glimpse into what their future is/will be. Also seeing Neo’s craziness come back again just made me chuckle. This was a nice wrap up with everything.

[Shandell Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Queenie & Harlow

Their story was a long time coming but I’m glad to see a HEA for her and her guys. She is still the bravest character I have read of your stories.. my favorite and craziest! She loves harder than she cares for her family!!! Queenie hasn’t changed since the first book!! Unpredictable and wild, dangerous.. Harlow grew up through her books and came more compassion… thank you Alisha for this story..

[book lover 2025 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy moly! This book was freaking awesome! I forgot how much I loved queenie and neo! Perfect little glimpse into Harlow getting her happy ever after. Alisha wrapped this one up perfectly! Even though it’s a novella everyone gets a pov which is the perfect way to say goodbye to these characters. One of my fave series! Bravo!

[Joy Whiteside · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a great read that I could not put it down once I started. This book will not disappoint you, grabbing your interest and keeping you reading until the end. The pace is great, the characters are amazing and you will not be disappointed by the story. This book has to be read, no doubt about it.

[Dian Kinsman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this novella. Some time has passed and we get to see how everyone is doing, Queenie, her sister, all their guys, their pets, even some employees. Babies, people from the past, d days plus some hot intimate scenes, this book had everything you needed for the conclusion of a series.

[VANESSA BARRITT · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow ok now I have finally finished sulking because this was the final for Queenie and her hot harem, I absolutely approve of the end, it's like it came full circle and Queenie finally put her last demons in hell where they belong.

Thank you to Alisha for such a gripping series of the finest blood gore and mayhem.
I really cannot wait to see what you do next.

[JAYNE BURNS · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Queenie so much and have been so excited to see how Alisha wraps up her story and ... wow. Just wow, I could not have dreamed a better finale in this novella.
Makes me need to go an re-read the series from the start. These characters are fantastic and I forgot how much the guys crack me up with their dynamic

[Miranda May · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love getting to see these characters once again. I’m reminded of why I loved them in the first place, but also love the crossover in series. I love being reminded of just how much these characters have grown from the first time we met them. If you loved Queenie’s series, you’ll love this novella. It’s a must read. As always, Alisha has delivered an amazing story.

awesome book / series

I can’t believe that this is the last book . I’m so freaking sad because I’m gonna miss these characters and that ending had me bawling. Such a good book .

Thank you for writing Queenie’s story 😘

Awesome!!

What's not to love about Harlow and her guys??? Neo is a bit over the top, but perfectly insane!!! These characters had depth. All of them. The writing, the backstories, everything about this series was absolutely perfect!!!

[Wendy Emerson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reigning Queen by Alisha Williams is the epic conclusion to the Blood Empire Series. I have loved following Harlow. She is one strong, smart FMC who can kick serious a%$. Loved it, loved the whole series.

[Winter Wray · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect wrap up for this series. I was thrilled with a final glimpse into Queenies HEA. It was beautifully done with the perfect amount of closure but still leaving your mind to fill in all the amazing possibilities for their futures. Beautifully done!
