The fourth book in a series. Just Wow. If you like apocalyptic books, this series is absolutely great. Hellhound, created by a human scientist. Shadow Warriors from another planet who is now fighting the humans. Your mind will run in all directions as to what humans are capable of. And they call others monsters. Absolutely phenomenal writing by a very diverse genre author.
Thank you so much for the chance to be part of your world

This is Book 4 in A Genetically Modified series. I have to say that I think this is my favorite one in the series. Marinah is finally growing into her Alpha title and she really rocks in this book. There’s a traitor in the group and she must decide what’s best to protect her people from the knowledge that the Federation now knows. She protects her people while King protects her, whatever it takes.
There is so much that happens here that you are drawn into the book and trying to help protect them. I highly recommend that you read the first 3 books in the series so that you have all the background knowledge before you head into this one. I know that you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Just finished Queen! I didn’t think this author could improve on her last book Beast. As per usual Holly surpasses.
Times are crazy right now and I know I depend on my favorite authors to “help” me through.
I love how the characters keep growing In this series I don’t want to spoil it but Marinah just keeps kicking butt! She is trying to learn how to become the leader she is meant to be. Not only does she have Mrs Beast to contend with she has her new Nova. A little spoiler I loved how she learns to meditate!!! Well no real spoiler there. There are some good-parts that make you laugh and say YES and some sad parts but hey Life's kinda that way. If you haven’t read this series I highly recommend it. The books just keep getting better. Thank you again Holly Roberts please keep writing!

Im annoyed
When is this series going to be completed? Does it go on and on? I liked the story but felt that the love scenes were lackluster. I am getting annoyed with the kids Ruth and Che. Their mothers never know what they are doing. Ruth in general doesn’t act like a kid. Che is just a tag along. Why are these kids not dead. They blow up stuff! Smh!
I thought some movement would have happened with Nova and the grandmothers journal. NOT a single thing happened! Not one kernel of information was learned. Im feeling like I may not even bother with the next one. The cover showed their small child wearing a war helmet. So that tells me that this story goes on and on. The war is still going on. Im really annoyed.

This book came at the right time. I needed something to read to distract me and this book did that. Holly's writing puts you in the scenes. You feel like you are right there with the characters. My work got in the way of reading the book in one sitting. She had my emotions all over the place and yours will as well.
Marinah is dealing with her new title and job. But the war does not wait for her to get used to her new title & power. Will everyone accept her as Queen & will she accept herself as Queen? Get this book. You will not be disappointed

Do NOT miss this one!!
This is Queen (A Genetically Modified Novel, book 4) written by Holly S Roberts. This series will pull you in and hold you on the edge of your seat all the way through. You just can’t put it down! Marinah and King don’t have the normal romance you are used to, but they are totally committed and unwilling to separate, no matter the cause. They are fighting the Federation and their hell hounds still and the fight has just gotten more graphic. Come meet King and his Queen Marinah as they battle for their lives!

WOW! ANOTHER 5 star read by, Holly S. Roberts Highly recommend!!
I don't like to give away spoilers because I truly want the readers to relax, enjoy and immerse yourselves into a FANTASTIC book in Queen, especially with what's going on in the world today. Holly has created such an amazing story and world that is captivating and SO exciting that I know for myself, I never want to reach that very last page. You can't help but fall in love with Marinah, her strength, her sense of humor that Holly is able to bring out in Marinah with each book and her love for King, as well as King's love for Marinah. I love how protective Marinah is with the mischievous Ruth and her sidekick Che, but Marinah also doesn't hesitate to dish out punishments to these two either, no matter how much she loves them. Marinah also isn't afraid to stand up to ANY of the Shadow Warriors, get in their faces and make sure they know that she is QUEEN. I absolutely LOVE this book and I'm already excited with anticipation for the next book in this Series. THANK YOU, Holly S. Roberts for being such a talented author and writing another outstanding book that allowed me to escape from the real world we live in and smile again.
