In Newark after avenging the murder of her son
with street justice (see Kiss the Ring), Naeema Cole retires her alter-ego Queen
she hopes permanently. However, the
relationship between Naeema and her husband Tank is currently off which she
says is permanent. Though she knows to
stay out of it, Naeema gets involved with a young teen female Mya who she hopes
to save from the boys’ serial sexing her, her mother ignoring her, and her
stepfather abusing her.
After booting Tank’s lover out of his life,
Naeema attends a gala headlined by Fevah with Tank and his crew providing the
rap superstar protection. When Tank goes to open the limo for her to step out
of the vehicle, shots hit him. As Tank
fights for his life in a New York hospital, Naeema, realizing who the real
target was, reincarnates Queen to determine who of three suspects tried to kill
her beloved spouse; but also faces perilous exposure by someone who knows her
and her man.
Though All
Hail The Queen contains a similar overarching premise to its
prequel, the storyline remains fresh as Queen works the inquiry in her unique
way. Fast-paced throughout, urban-lit
fans will hail the return of the Queen.
