Synopsis

"Two-thirds royal drama, one-third mystery...like a much darker Princess Diaries.” —Jennifer Lynn Barnes, New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games

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 reveiled 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?

Goodreads review by Muffinsandbooks on September 01, 2024

J'avais SUUUURKIFFÉ le premier tome et celui-ci est tout aussi addictif et même si j'avoue avoir trouvé quelques éléments un peu "too much", j'imagine que ça fait partie du deal quand tu lis une histoire sur la fille illégitime du roi d'Angleterre. Je me suis donc de nouveau prise de passion pour l'......more
