by Anne Osterlund (in addition to a bunch of the other great books). I wasn't sure what to expect, but I definitely didn't expect to love this one that much.Aurelia is the princess of Tyralt, and heir to the throne. Unbeknownst to her, someone is out to kill her. Her childhood friend Robert returns to investigate. From there, the adventure begins.
I don't want to go into a lot of detail because it will give away the plot. There are very obvious red herrings, and I did figure out who the bad guy was pretty early on, but it was still a fun adventure. The book has the perfect amount of everything, romance, adventure, mystery. It is a great quick, not-much-thinking-involved book. I think it is actually YA, but I still enjoyed it immensely. Definitely recommend. I gave it four out of five stars on goodreads. There is a sequel, called Exile, that I have now added to my wishlist and can't wait to read. I have so many questions. Where is Aurelia's mother? What will happen to her sister? Will they fall in love and live happily ever after? Pin It
I need a good book to read..it has been a while! Sounds suspensful!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is necessarily suspenseful, but there were definitely moments of suspense. If that makes sense. :)
DeleteWow, reading it in one sitting... it MUST be a good read! It certains sounds interesting, I will have to add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I read it in about 2 hours! In between feeding the child, changing his diaper, setting up his coloring, etc.
DeleteThis review actually caught my eye because I love the name Aurelia (it was actually a front runner for our oldest daughter when we were discussing names for her), but it sounds like a great book. I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of it before now, but I love it! It's so pretty. Definitely a good name for a princess.
DeleteThis sounds great! I love reading YA books when I just need to relax!
ReplyDeleteI am always impressed with these quicky book reviews, love great book suggestions
