Review: Royal Blood

Royal Blood by Aimee Carter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.
