These aren't that great but entertaining, clean, and quick enough to keep reading. The repetition and predictability gets old. I guess I am a sucker for the romance, which surprises even me.

This was by far my favorite Her Royal Spyness novel. The story weaves mystery, romance, and comedy perfectly. Georgie is a great amateur sleuth and this story proved no different. I love how Georgie is sticking up for herself and even dodged a horrible marriage with Prince Fish Face. Her relationship with Darcy is heating up but her virginity is still in tact even his her reputation kind of isn't. Darcy wants her to make an advantageous match but his behavior toward her says otherwise. I liked the mixing in of the Romanian folklore with vampires in this story. It was cute and a fun read!

I can't wait for the next book. Can't live too long without Georgie and Darcy.

Lady Georgiana Rannoch (Georgie to her friends), is again desperate. She has no job, no money, and her sister-in-law Fig has announced that she and Binky (Georgie's brother) will be joining her at Rannoch House in London. Georgie moved to London to avoid living with Fig, and wonders what to do now.
Once again, her relationship to the Queen works in her favour: Georgie is asked to represent the her Family at the wedding of her cousin (and old schoolmate) Princess Maria Theresa in Romania.
Along with a clumsy, inexperienced maid, and an overbearing chaperon, Georgie sets off for Romania. The wedding is to be held at Maria Theresa's ancestral home, a gloomy, isolated castle which was reportedly once inhabited by Vlad the Impaler, complete with a shadowy figure who prowls the halls at night.
The groom is from the Bulgarian royal family, and of course is accompanied by retainers and guards of his own. After dinner one night the Bulgarian Field Marshall Pirin collapses due to an apparent heart attack. Or is the ghostly prowler responsible for his death?
Luckily, the seemingly ubiquitous Darcy O'Mara is with the groom's party, and helps Georgie and her hapless maid to determine what's going on.
The fourth Royal Spyness mystery, despite the grim setting, is as charming as its predecessors. Highly recommended!

Again, this was another enjoyable installment in the series. It had the silly, wittiness of the movie, "Clue". Also, because the wedding was in Transylvania, Georgie was terrified that there were vampires lurking about the castle. It was quite amusing.

Honestly couldn't tell you a single thing about this plot. And I finished it a week ago. But I enjoyed it at the time....

Favorite so far
I started this series a few weeks ago, and this has been my favorite so far. I loved the gothic intrigue and mystery in Transylvania. Things got pretty spooky at times!! And I love the deepening romance between Darcy and Georgie. This one has a different feel than the rest since it wasn't set in England or Scotland, but it was a nice change of pace. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this series because it's fantastic!

These books are so dumb—SO dumb—but sometimes you need something untaxing to skim before bed, and this series provides.

Good and silly fun. It should probably be a 3.5 because there isn't much to it.

Let's clarify that this is fluff and fun and requires very little thinking. Just what I need at the end of the school year!
