♥BUY THE BOOK♥
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome… Come inside The Glamour Patch club to see the star of our show, Miss Vivica Blue. Do you want to read my diary you nosy little devils? Have a glass of champagne (you’ll need it) and get comfortable because you’re in for some crazy shenanigans brought to you straight from the horse’s mouth. I can be whatever you want me to be: boy, girl, a little bit of both. If you have a problem with a man in a dress then best be off with you. If males in make-up give you the willies, then I’ll say au revoir and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. So, who are we left with? Ah, a fine collection of curious souls. I want to tell you a tale of love, because those are the most glorious kind. I want to tell you about real love, a love that transcends labels and gender stereotypes. The moment I first laid eyes on my Freda I knew that we were kindred. Well okay, I also knew I wanted to get into her pants, but that’s beside the point. My world was a grey place. I was at my lowest ebb. Then she came along and patches of colour began to spring forth. One day the daffodils were yellow and before I knew it, colour was everywhere, lighting up my life. Love is not about how we appear on the outside, it’s about the soul contained within. Our story was not a conventional one, but it was ours, and that’s what made it shine.
Killer Queen is a companion novel to L.H. Cosway’s contemporary romance, Painted Faces. It contains scenes that take place before, during and after the original story. It can also be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW:
I just posted my review of Painted Faces on the blog which can be found here. There you will get more of a back ground into the first novel told from Fred's POV. This review is basically going on emotion, emotion and all the feels I had with this book.
Note that this is just not any other retelling. This is a companion novel of Painted Faces told from Nicholas aka Viv side. Do you know how much I love, when done right of course, we get the POV from the man of a book we crave? I adored this story to no end and to hear Viv's words in my head was pretty deep. I knew Viv was an emotional human being, but to hear him go through his feelings for Fred and and his ever growing attraction and devotion for her had me devouring each and every page of this book. The POV was told through a series of journal entries that Viv kept during his beginning years as Vivica Blue up to the present including meeting Fred for the first time. Viv was so forward with Fred upon meeting her I seriously thought she was going to knee him square in the junk. Even I was turned on but seriously I know Fred was thinking, "what the hell we just met and already you want to jump my bones". I know that was going through Fred's head I just do lol.
The writing for this one had me giggling. Being inside Viv's head is a bit hilarious. He never minces words and doesn't care about being proper at all. I think that's why he is tied for #3 with another one of Cosway's men, Jay Fields, as my BOOK HUBBY. When a man can take off that tough guy mask and show you all of him, that's a man you never want to let go of. Viv gave us so much in this POV. We got to see the future with him and Viv and it was just a perfect ending. Any fan of Painted Faces should and will be happy with this book. If you're not then there is no help for you so move on!
Out of a 5, I'm giving this a 5. Yeah it's official I'm an L.H. Cosway book addict and proud. I think I'm going to get that as a shirt. Great read!
