When Alisha said this book was heavy on the smut scenes.. she was not lying && IM. HERE. FOR. IT!! just make my wildest fantasies come true in this book. Lol. The plot and action is amazing in this book. Keeps you wanting to read more. I also love that Raven is learning more about what she wants. I look forward to the third book.

June 20, 2023Venomous Queen was all I was hoping for plus much, much more. Let's start off by saying this book is OFF THE CHARTS SPICY. Alisha Williams has produced a book that I will be thinking about for a long, long time. What a thrill I got reading through this and connecting more with the characters and understanding more about the Black Venom Crew. This book is truly superb and will have me recommending the series to anyone who listens!!!!!

Wow well if the first book was no burn then this one definitely is fast burn and all the spice 🥵🥵🥵🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥!!
Once looses that special card she turns into a nerdy little bird and is after her boys, who are all too happy to oblige 😜 but Williams writes this so well that the copious amounts of ‘activities’ does not detract from either the story or their relationships! Daddy Link really comes out to play in this one attempting to keep Raven in place but mainly SAFE; twins Travis and Taylor keep her wild and on her toes; and then best friend Hunter is her ride or die 😍 and I love that we find out more about Q in this one and how he relates to all of this… gotta love ‘Stalker Boy’ and how the guys treat him really shows they put Raven first 😊
In terms of the storyline we begging to see more of what the Black Venom Crew stand for and what they can do, and it certainly melts your heart! 🥰 we also get some insight into the background of the guys and to what’s made them the slight psychopaths they are 😬 but also why their interwoven past and why they’re so protective of Raven 🥺
And wow after that cliffie….I don’t think anyone is going to be safe from the BVC!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
“The Queen is the most powerful player on the chess board. But I’d be nothing without my Kings. You're anything but weak. But neither am I. You just need to see that with your own two eyes and stop handling me with kid gloves.”
Alisha promised a ton of spice in book two of the Black Venom Crew trilogy, and boy, she was not joking. Three cheers for Ch 2 smut! (And Ch 3… Ch 4… so much smut!) 5+/5 for the smut alone. It’s lighter on plot, which left me wanting because there were several balls in the air that I would have liked to have been explored more in this book, though it looks like they will be resolved fully come book three.
There was much time spent on building relationships now that the prohibition on claiming Raven as theirs has been lifted. The guys thought their darkness would be too much for Raven, only to find out she was their perfect match, with dark desires on par with their own. They are still keeping secrets from her that can potentially destroy the new balance, but the guys are learning to trust in Raven’s strength and resilience.
I loved watching her break Lincoln down. She embodied the persona of a brat to finally get him to cave. Seeing all these hardened men soften to her, loving her, was so sweet.
Stalker Boy hit a soft part of my heart. I love the grit of all the Black Venom Crew boys, but he has that special softness that perfectly counter their darkness, even as he is dark himself. However, the essential part that joins them as a group is how focused every one of the guys is on Raven’s happiness.
Book two is fast-burn and magma-level hot. This is a one-handed read. Multiple kinks are explored; refer to the author’s note for a listing. Several sandwiches and group/public scenes are included. And the dirty talk will make you a bit warm down below.
The cliffhanger is intense, so I hope the wait for book three isn’t too long. I look forward to the tying up loose ends and more of that top-notch smut.
Genre: Dark Crew Romance
Tropes/Features: Friends to lovers, virgin FMC, possessive MMCs, Stalker/Bodyguard, brothers and twins, psycho unalivers, touch her and die,
Narrator: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: Why Choose – MFMMMM, fast burn, intense spice with lots of kinks
Book Type/Ending: Book two in Black Venom Crew series, cliffhanger

Venomous Queen is the 2nd in the Black Venom Crew series by Alisha Williams.
This was definitely a lot spicer than the first one and I loved every minute of it. All the scenes were hot but that last group one had my fight or flight kicking in. Raven's brattiness speaks to me! I was surprised, but also not at the same time, of the addition to their group. He is exactly what their group needs. I loved the cameo from the Solidarity Academy series. I was not expecting that connection.
‼️ I would like to mention to please check the Trigger Warnings before reading the last action scene. CSA is mentioned, not graphically, but you will know what's happening.

Although I liked adding to the harem, there really wasn't much of a plot. It was all sex.
June 23, 2023
Book one was good, THIS one though!? Omg soooo good! I love Raven and her take no prisoners attitude. She is the perfect amount of soft and rough. Her guys are a bit unhinged, okay maybe a lot unhinged, but it’s in all the ways readers love i promise!
I am seriously digging the plot. We learn so much more background info and get to know the characters more. This book did not disappoint in the spice category either. Hot d@mn! There were solo scenes and group scenes and…well you’ll just have to read and find out. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Venomous Queen is a dark and sēxy why-choose that will leaving you squirming and screaming cause seriously that cliffy was uncalled for. 😩

The spice turned way up with this book. The first book was so full of tension, and now, in book two, it finally exploded. Raven finally gets her way and gets to be with her guys. They have all been holding back from doing what they want with her for years, so that now they can't seem to stop touching her and being with her.
We also learn bits and pieces of Raven's past as well as Link and Hunter's, and they are even more connected than we knew before. Danger is lurking in the background while they deal with problems in their own town. The guys will destroy the world if any of it touches their girl. I can't wait to see it in the next book.

Heat: 5/5
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I complained about being edged for all of book 1. Venomous Queen more than made up for it. IN SPADES. If you’re not ready to deal with a girl who is happily a séx-hungry, c*m-guzzling sloot for her men, then LOOK AWAY. This is very high spice, fast-burning like a wildfire, kids.
Raven finally is in the loop about what her boys really do for a living: spoiler - they ARE the Black Venom Crew, led by Daddy Link. Then, all bets are off and Raven gets special time with all of her guys. Link holds out the longest because he likes to torture himself. So much dirty talk. So much dirtiness. Lots of fluids. And Raven is just always hungry for more. She is unapologetic about who she is and what she likes, and I thoroughly enjoyed all her quips and attitude. Just enough brat without annoying me 🤣
The cliffhanger I could see coming (pun intended), but that doesn’t make me want the next book any less!

Book 2 was so steamy and hot. The spice was in almost every chapter as raven finally got to be with the men that have had her heart for as long as she's known them. Her relationship with each man is so different, yet they all work so beautifully. And the twin sandwich was so hot. I also loved getting more of Quinton and seeing their relationship blossom. We learned some more backstory on link and hunter and what link had to endure in his childhood from his father. It also sounds like there might be a crossover with another of alishas series that I'm obsessed with! And of course it wouldn't be an alisha williams book without an intense cliffhanger to leave us wanting more.

Seppy's 5 Star Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the first book and I loved this one just as much. I love a good reverse Harlem read that is twisted and dark. I love Raven and her guys (Hunter, Link, Travis and Taylor) who are finally submitting to this relationship with Raven. They want to keep her safe and don't tell her everything especially that she's in danger. She wants them to stop keeping things from her. This one is hot and steamy. I love the intro of stalker boy Quinton. But that ending has me screaming NO! I need book 3 like now! I can't wait for dark soldiers .. one click this series if you love RH that are dark and twisted with a lot of spice.

GOOD GOD WAS THIS GOOD! Spicy as hell! God the relationship with these guys and raven is so damn hot.
I mean who doesn’t love twins 😂😂I’m addicted to Hunter and Link and “stalker boy “ I loved loved this book.
It was literally one of those books you can’t put down it was so good!
Had me on the edge of my seat, these boys are dark as hell but they are so sweet and would do anything , I mean anything for raven!
I was obsessed with this !!one of my favorite , favorite books

Venomous Queen is the second book in the Black Venom Crew series and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! This cannot be read as a standalone!
I was hooked from the first book, but this one, giiirl. Alisha turned up the heat from a 2, to a 100 in this one!! I AM SOOOO HERE FOR IT!! We get a little insight into, not just, Raven's past, but the guys as well. Plus, relationship growth! Honestly, IF YOU HAVE NOT STARTED THIS SERIES, DO SO NOW!! I highly recommend it!! Can't wait for more!!

Oh my my
If book 1 was world building, then book 2 was Raven and her men making up for years of pent up frustration. This book was straight up spice with a little bit of plot on the side but it was very well written and oh so spicy!!! I can't wait to see what happens in the 3rd book!

If you’re looking for something with masterful pacing, beautiful prose, rich plot… this isn’t the book for you. This was a quick, absolutely filthy read, and there were errors left and right. The FMC is still too horny to live. I saw the cliffhanger coming from a mile away. But, I really enjoyed this, it was a fun read overall and I will definitely be picking up the next one!
June 21, 2023
THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING!!!!!
Raven finally gets the guys she has wanted for years and embraces crew life and it is a ride.
Alisha really went BALLS TO THE WALL with the smut in this book and boy I was living for it.
Honestly this series is shaping up to be a mad one, the cult, the take downs, the suspense of upcoming drama, it’s amazing!
I was buzzing for stalker boy as well 🫢🔥

This story took me on some crazy emotions from laughing to being shocked. I can’t wait to see what book 3 brings. I’m so glad I started this series!

Yep still smutty goodness. Loving this story so far and of course these men are unhinged AF!!!
August 1, 2024
Wow this story with Raven and her five guys(yes five) has a lot going on. She finds out who they are finally and she turns eighteen. The kids gloves are off and boy does this book have very super explosive and steamy scenes. There are twists that come out at the end of the book that leaves us hanging. Thankfully the book is out to find out what happened.
July 9, 2023
Man did I need this book. I just love the spicy that Alisha writes and the story line and boy did this check all the boxes for what I was needing. Not to mention we got a Cameo from another book of hers! That made me so excited and check twice to make sure I was reading it right. I seriously can’t wait for the next book in the series. I Love Raven and how she acts with her boys.
June 29, 2023
This book picks up right where book 1 left off and holy heck did it take off. It is packed full of steamy action as Raven's relationship builds with each of her guys. Their darkness comes out in delicious ways. Quinton gets in on the action too and I am here for it. Love, love, loved it. That cliffhanger though, ugh. I knew something had to be coming and it still caught me. I need book 3, stat.
June 28, 2023
This one was SIGNIFICANTLY spicier than the last one! This crew be FREAKS!! 😏😏😏 & I loved it so much!! What I hate is how Alisha made it all seem sooooo cool & like maybe we’d have a chill cliffhanger then BAM! 2 freaking sentences ruined everything. WTH!!! Ugh! Okay it’s gonna be fine. We’re gonna be fine. Everything’ll be fine!
July 2, 2023
No, just nooo! First off the fire in the book is just off the spice chart! Finally little bird gets her guys.. eek I could not wait to read this book, the end of book one had me drooling for more and you did not disappoint Alisha! This book is filled with everything dirty and I am here for it!🥵🔥 Now for that stupid cliffhanger, like literally I’m not sure you can even call it a cliffhanger, I think we need to call it more of a cliff dive because giirrrll my soul just left my body with that ending.. I absolutely cannot wait much longer for book 3.🤬😡😭
August 26, 2023
Alisha Williams promised ALL of the spice as this series continued, & she definitely delivered!!🔥🔥
This book started where the last one left off & you already know I had to devour it!
Even though there’s tons of spice it didn’t take away from the story and learning the true reason behind the boys starting Black Venom Crew.
Daddy Link ғɪɴᴀʟʟʏ came out to play and with him he brought delicious punishments to Raven’s bratty side, but still kept her safe.
Twins Travis & Taylor pushed Ray to her limits and showed her that it was okay to walk on the wild side with them and enjoy it!
Her best friend Hunter got to show Ray how amazing a romantic relationship could be.
& Q, Raven’s “stalker boy” was able to break free from the shadow’s & had her experiencing things she’s never felt before.
The cliffhanger on this one threw me over the edge and I’m honestly not sure if I can wait for the next book.
THE BVC IS COMING, AND NOBODY IS SAFE!!

DNF at 30%. I kept reading it as I enjoyed the first book, but the writing it making me cringe a bit too much. Some of the speech just feels awkward and forced.

Book 2 of Black Venom Crew. This IS NOT A STANDALONE and must be read in order. This book will end on a cliffhanger.
𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
This picks up right where Little Bird left is. Secrets are being revealed and relationships are being explored. Raven has been brought out of the dark, being exposed to the guys dealings and acclimating to “crew life”.
This was extremely fast paced. Alisha was not playing when she said the spice was going to hit in this book… holy smokes! I loved seeing Raven and the guys finally get to let all their hidden dark and kinky desires fly. The dirty mouths these guys all have…. fuuuck. Also, twin sandwich anyone? 🔥😮💨 I did feel like this one definitely laid down more “spice” than plot [like every other, if not every chapter] but there is still a plot being followed and I’m excited to see the crew take down the bad guys.
I will say the one thing for me with books like this is the age of the characters… sometimes it’s hard to believe they are only 18 years old. However it’s very easy to read them as older if that’s what you prefer.
I’m so happy with Raven’s harem addition, among other things I’m ready to see play out but ….this cliffhanger was rough!! I neeeeeeed to know what happens!

“No, Dove. You don’t understand. Sure, we're still going to be best friends, as close as before. But now? You’re ours. To fuck when we want, to kill for, to please, to love, and everything else in between. Your life doesn’t belong to you anymore. We own you.”
“Eyes on me, Little Mouse. I wanna see the look on your face as I destroy this pretty little body of yours before putting you back together,”
“Gush around me, Little Mouse. I want your juices dripping down my cock by the time I’m done with you.”
“I sure do love it when that sassy mouth of yours begs for me, Little Bird. Do you know how many times I wanted to punish you for being a brat? To shove you to your knees and shove my cock down your throat to shut you up? To see you choke on me, your eyes watering, as you struggle to breathe?”
I think there’s a lot we don’t know about my Little Mouse, and one of them is that she just might be as fucked up as we are. Darkness calls to darkness, after all.
4/5⭐️
4.5/5🔥

Come for the spice, stay for the spice. Because there’s a whole lot of spice. I mean it. If you’re looking for a book with a lot of plot and depth then don’t look here, because this book is almost all spice while other people take care of the tiny slice of plot in the background.
I went back and took a peek at my review for Little Bird, the first book in this series, and I remembered how I felt about that book and why before I started Venomous Queen, and I was very satisfied with how much this book improved on what I saw from an objective POV in Little Bird. I may have given both books the same rating, but it was for very different reasons.
While reading book one I hated Link, and I couldn’t understand Raven’s attraction and reactions to him. I stated in my review that I didn’t think it vibed with who she was or how she believed women should be treated. I also said that I thought the book had really good bones and that there was time to fix a lot of the issues I had with Little Bird when book two (Venomous Queen) came out. I’m proud to say I do believe the issues I had with Little Bird have been ironed out, including the issues I had with the dynamic/relationship between Link and Raven. Williams seems to have taken some time to use Quinton (Raven’s silent and shadowy guardian from the first book) as a sounding board to explain why Raven loves the way the other men she loves, even Link, treat her. We also gleaned some knowledge from her inner narrative about the attraction of Link’s dominance and feral nature, which helped me understand where Raven is coming from and I count this as a very good thing and a smart move by Williams.
I love that Quinton was brought on board as a contrast to the other four men in Raven’s life, giving her a developing relationship like she’s never been able to experience before. He’s such a deadly teddy bear. Love that for her.
Like I said, the spice is plentiful, and it is both rough and sometimes very kinky. I was totally down for all of it. Does it come at the expense of a solid plot? Yes. Do I care? Not really. I didn’t come here for a solid story. I came here for smut. And smut is what I got. I’m not sorry.
I was provided a copy of the title by the author. All thoughts, opinions, views, and ideas expressed herein are mine and mine alone. Thank you.

Venomous Queen - Black Venom Crew #2 - Review
Couple: Raven with Hunter, Quinn, Lincoln, Taylor and Travis
Author: Alisha Williams
Tropes: RH romance, dark romance, gang romance, morally gray, touch her and die, taboo romance, childhood sweethearts
Review: TURN THE SPCIE UP!! This book dials it up to 100 in all areas of the Black Venom Crew and we get to Raven bring her boys in close and keep them to herself. This is a multi-POV romance that has darker themes and is not for all readers so read the trigger warnings beforehand.
Raven is a Queen in this book. She finally steps into the role of girlfriend and lover and I was there for it. While each guy is different, I found myself wanting more with the twins. I loved how they are pretty much one person in two bodies and really loved how they take care of Raven. I found them to also be the most in between sweet and dark.
While this book begins the romance and spice of the group, we also see her strive to finish out school and assert her station in the crew. I enjoyed how Quinn was added and really appreciated how they are more innocent love than the others. I also found myself liking Linc and Hunter more. I think Hunter was actually my least favorite in this book since he had the least growth but I appreciated his role as the best friend to lover role.
This book is a level 10 on the spice scale and if you don’t enjoy the spicy moments it won’t be for you. I thought the spice was done well and I loved how each pairing was different and their own. I also thought that it showed how much Raven fit with all of them.
This book also starts to open more on all the guys’ pasts and Raven’s. The ending was a HUGE cliffhanger and it threw me!! The way Alisha developed each of them and split the perspectives made you understand the overall encompassing themes of the book. I also thought that it made BIG references to what I hope to see with them. I hope book 3 shows her friend play a bigger role and I am excited to soo how the ending affects the guys’ and the mother’s.
Rating: 8.5/10, turn UP the SPICE!
