What a delightful book. This captured me more than I was prepared for. Snarky Evan and her emotional angsty personality pulled at my heartstrings and made me fall in love with her and her journey of getting to know her father, her half sister, and navigating and sometimes brutal new life as a half blood royal.
Literally finished in one day!! I could not put it down!!

Evan has just been kicked out of ANOTHER boarding school … this time for arson. In sweeps Jenkins to the rescue and Evan finds herself on a transatlantic flight to London. Jenkins feels it is time for Evan to get to know her father, the King of England. Yes, you read that right, Evan is the illegitimate daughter of the king and has been keeping it a secret her entire life. Evan quickly learns that the monarchy is full of secrets and after a fun night ends with the death of the host, Evan is the prime suspect. What really happened that night? Will Evan ever be accepted into the family?
Royal Blood is the first book in a new realistic fiction series. Real-life monarchies are full of drama and secrets, but most people don’t know what is really going on, we only see what is released in the news. This book imagines what the people are saying, thinking, and doing to give readers some new insights to dream about. I was hoping for a certain twist that did not happen, but maybe that twist will happen in the next book (still unnamed). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series to be completed.

I liked this one more than I expected too, but the cover is really not a match for the story (there are no vampires). The complicated relationships were... the most complicated? And didn't always feel authentic, but the murder mystery kept me guessing for awhile and Evan was a good main character.
For some reason I thought this was about vampires. And despite my bafflement while reading, waiting for the “blood” part of this book to occur, I am not on the least disappointed. This was so incredibly well written, well paced, and unputdownable (and again, not just because I was anxiously anticipating vampires…). I loved the character development and relationship building of this sweet YA novel.
3.5 Sincerely wish goodreads did half stars.
This was an alright read but a sort of all over the place. Like it couldn't make up it's mind on what genre it wanted to be so it kept flipping between two. The mystery of who-did-it felt half baked and a little anticlimactic. I liked the characters and the little bits of Royal "drama". I enjoyed how they stuck together when the press dug it's claws in. Surprised to discover it's going to be a trilogy. Hoping for the best
