The second book in the Royal Blood series about an American girl who threatens the royal family by exposing their darkest scandals—even as they get more sinister.
American girl turned monarchy nightmare, Evan Bright, has gotten used to the press about her but the media attention has only seemed to get worse. From desperate clickbait articles about her and the President’s son to Royal Record headlines pitting her against Princess Maisie, it seems everyone is dying for Evan to return back to America for good. Meanwhile Evan is receiving mysterious threats about her real story being reveled in a tell-all biography.
When more information is leaked about Evan, she fears she will always be Britain’s media villain. But the threats escalate when there is an attempted assassination with no suspects...and Evan believes the person is in the palace’s walls.They say what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger...but what if it’s the royal family who wants you dead?
Royal Blood was a fantastic series opener, introducing the characters, setting up the basic problems and basically letting us learn about the altered world of the novel. This second novel deepens the issues and makes things exponentially worse for everyone, but mostly Evan.
Be warned, this one does end in a cliffhanger! The first one didn't, there were threads still but not a full cliffie, but this one definitely does. I was watching the page count dwindle in terror, hoping against hope...but it's a great place to stop and I'm really looking forward to the third volume.
But this one! Funny, exciting, terrifying. I was really sorry for Evan at one point, I won't mention it for spoilers but you'll know it. It's a really great read. I do recommend reading the first one first, though, don't start with this one!
I can't wait for the third. This is turning into one of my favourite series.
