There was a bit more drama than mystery, which I had to get used to.  I could see this as a made for tv series, with the drama and minimal love interest.  This of course ended on a slight cliff hanger, which I'm debating if I want to read the next book in the series.  
If you don't mind teen drama, enjoy the English royalty, with a side of mystery, this is the book for you.

Entertaining read, just suspend your belief in reality a bit if you know a lot about the royal family! Very dynamic writing. 

Not a book I’d planned to read but got as a Christmas present.

This book was a random grab off the “new” section at the library after I read the bio I knew I’d love it! However! I wish on the book itself there was some sort of content warning. This book very heavily talks about rape and sexual assault and it really threw me off, I wish I would have checked the warnings on story graph. But if I had maybe I wouldn’t have picked it up, and aside from the sensitive topics I enjoyed the book! I made so many predictions along the way and got some right! But also some really wrong because all the twists keep you on your toes! This is a rather new release and I didn’t see much hype about it anywhere (but maybe I’m blind) which is a shame because I really enjoyed reading it!
I’m not gonna say much here… other then kit and Evan are my OTP. I say that a lot but truly I love those two I was rooting for them for soooooooooo long and I’m so happy they end up together. Now I know there are rumored sequels especially because of how it ended, and if kit and Evan break up I’m not finishing the books (I’m kidding I’m too invested I’ll just cry)
10/10 would recommend

I think I've been swept up in Royal Fever since the coronation last weekend, so much so that this is my second royal book in a week!

Evan is the illegitimate child of King Alexander. The world doesn't know about her but she's turning 18 in 25 days and is hoping to return to life with her Mum. However, things don't always go the way you think. Evan ends up at Windsor castle, an American amongst all the pomp of the royal family. Unfortunately Evan gets tied up in scandals, gossip, murder and betrayal.

I really enjoyed this - I wasn't a fan of Evan but she does grow on you and what she went through was horrific. It's quite far fetched but it did throw me into life at Windsor Castle and I felt like I was there. I didn't know this was a series and I'll be looking out for book 2.

Look out for trigger warnings!
