Queen of Aparia is the all-new fifth and final book in the Obsidian Queen series. This contemporary fantasy is full of magic and humor, perfect for readers who enjoy swoony romance and sparking chemistry.

Life is looking pretty good for Madeline Bennet. She can finally see the magic to unlock the thresholds to Aparia, and her love life is more stable than it’s ever been.

Sure, she and her favorite Griffon don’t get a lot of quality time together. Also true, several shadow dragons are determined to destroy the human world. On top of that, there’s a tiny glitch in the link that even Teagan didn’t expect when he worked his Vulture magic on her and Rafe.

But all that becomes inconsequential when someone steps forward with the power to not only challenge Madeline’s birthright, but threaten the safety of people on both sides of the thresholds.

The time has come for Madeline to choose a path. Will the Obsidian Queen claim her crown, opening the thresholds once and for all? Or will she quietly send the shadow creatures back to Aparia and live the Royal Guild-approved life she’s always dreamed of?

Madeline is up against her greatest challenge, and only one thing is certain: she’ll meet it head-on, in high heels and a skirt, with her knights and hairless cat by her side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and unique series
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023

Truly enjoyed this series! Had the originals not been re-labeled in Shari's name, I wouldn't have seen or read this series. Started and finished all 5 in the last month.

In the first few books Madeline hooks up with so many of the men she's around that it was like getting emotional whiplash! I appreciated the uniqueness of her being drawn to 3 men at one time. That is a plot line I haven't read of before. Also appreciated that it wasn't sexually graphic. Thank you Ms. Tapscott! Sexual tension without the graphic details. We definitely need more material in that genre.

Very creative connection between the human world and Aparia. Loved learning the rules of region, forms of governance, and unique manifestations each magic users talents. Very nicely organized and fun to explore. This series was a page turner for me! Can't wait to see what she writes next.

This series has had me tied up in knots for far too long, lol. I first read books 1-4 a pair a year ago when they were published under a pen name, and have been anxiously awaiting this fifth book ever since- it did not disappoint. I just adore this world and these characters!! The author has done a fantastic job of building up the suspense, mystery, politics, romance, angst, intrigue, etc and I loved it. The romance was so toe-curling but still clean, and I loved Jonathan and Madeline. Speaking of Madeline, she is still the same spunky, powerful, kind and classy girl, and I just love reading her thoughts (she literally had my laughing out loud at times). Definitely a great series I can see myself rereading in the future!!

Another wonderful series written by the talented Shari L. Tapscott! It’s got lovable characters, plot twists, well written dialogue, it’s very romantic with out it being smutty, and a different angle when it comes to magic. I loved everything. Shari knows how to write beautiful romance that makes you swoon but never crosses the line to begin explicit. I plan to read all her books and I can’t wait to see (read) what she writes next!
Thank you, Shari for sharing your amazing stories with us!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a spicy journey!

Content: no sex, no profanity, plenty of lust

This was a crazy journey. I read all five books in three days. I wondered if maddy was ever going to pick a man or if she was going to play them all!

Hats off to Tapscott for keeping the spice clean. There was A LOT of it, but aside from the plentiful innuendos, it never went anywhere.

The sorry characters are completely unique: “bunnies”, vultures, foxes. All of these are human magical factions. Then there’s real imps and gargoyles and dragons.

The story is complex and kept me reading long after Maddy finally made up her mind which man she wanted to kiss the most.

Highly recommend.

I started the first book because I just needed something to read, but I became obsessed within a couple of chapters. I read all 5 in 4 days. Thank you, Shari L. Tapscott, for entertaining and absorbing characters, plots, and of course, happy and unexpected endings

The series is well written. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and going along on their journey with them. Some parts of the story were a bit whiny but not over the top too much. There was sexual tension but no details. Good read all in all.

Okay I’ve been reading lots and lots of books and series on Amazon and have been kind of disappointed. This series did not disappointment. I loved every single moment of these books. I’m also really happy how it all turned out. I’m happy who Madeline ends up with. It’s just so good. Perfect even. I can’t recommend these books enough.

Una bella serie anche se il partner alla fine scelto a mio avviso è quello con meno chimica... l'autrice non è stata sufficientemente in grado di descrivere con me i due finiscano per innamorarsi , manca quellemozione in più che avrebbe reso la serie perfetta. Peccato

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit drawn out
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2023

This whole series is a bit ‘curate’s eggy’ - good in parts, but there are huge swathes of the story about Maddie’s relationship and her feelings that dragged the story out for too long. I missed out 2 books - caught up on the one or two relevant bits of plot that had happened in books 3&4 without much problem. In principle it’s over all a good plot, but, in my view, it would have been sharper as a trilogy.
