Book description

If your school’s homecoming king had a little too much in common with Henry VIII, would you survive with your head still attached?

You’d think being the new girl in a tiny town would equal one very boring senior year. But if you’re me—Annie Marck, alias Cleves—and you accidentally transform…

Why read it?

1 author picked The Dead Queens Club as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’ve seen a lot of takes on the story of Henry VIII and his wives, but there aren’t any quite like this one.

Imagine Henry as the golden boy of his high school, a serial dater, and possibly… serial killer? His exes, based on his real-life wives, team up to try to figure out what really happened to ex-girlfriend number five, Katie Howard.

The narrator Annie Cleves has such a witty voice full of humor and biting social commentary that makes this book a really fun read.
