Review: American Royals

American Royals by Katharine McGee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the Revolutionary War, the people of America asked General Washington to become their king. He accepted and two hundred and fifty years later his heir is still sitting on the throne. Introduce Princess Beatrice … she has been groomed her entire life to become America’s first queen regnant. Beatrice knows what is expected of her and her parents say it is time to find a husband. Her sister, Princess Samantha, is the spare to the heir. She thinks she has found a guy for her heart until her sister chooses him to be her boyfriend. Prince Jefferson is Samantha’s twin and the third in the line of succession. If the rules hadn’t been changed, though, he would be the next king. He has two girls who would like to become his princess and he is trying to come to grips with what his heart wants.

American Royals is the first book in the American Royals series. The story is told in alternating chapters by various characters and the reader will learn secrets that the other characters have to go without. There is the usual backstabbing and rumor milling, yet there is more at stake. These young adults have a realm that is watching every move and the love the people have can be very finicky. American Royals is a very fun read and those who enjoyed The Selection series will find these pages exactly what they were looking for. I can’t wait for the next book to be released!
