Another great book, wonderful writing and full of the twists and turns every good mystery needs!

Back with Evan in the Royal Palace, and everything seems to be fine... until it's not. More bad press and scandal but still with the heart that I love about these books.

I simply love this series, and honestly, I find it hard not to! It's exactly the kind of fun and enjoyable read I need to get me through a rainy weekend!

Out March 26, 2024!

I see the sunrise now,” he said. “Because of you, the days have color. Eternity has meaning once more.

Blog Tour: Top 5 Reasons to Read ROYAL SCANDAL by Aimée Carter!

Welcome to Book-Keeping and my stop on the TBR and Beyond Tours blog tour for Royal Scandal by Aimée Carter, the follow-up to last year's Royal Blood! I love this series, and can't wait to tell you all about it, including my top 5 reasons to read!

About the Book

title: Royal Scandal author: Aimée Carter publisher: Delacorte release date: 26 March 2024

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?

Top 5 Reasons to Read

While this is the sequel to Royal Blood, you could conceivably read it on its own since enough backstory is inserted that you could follow along, although personally I would definitely recommend reading them in order.

It's an intriguing alternate history! The series imagines an alternate history of the monarchy in Britain, in which Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, had *not* abdicated the throne to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson, and thus became King Edward VIII; his great-grandson, Alexander II, now sits on the throne.

It's about royals! Let's admit it, we in America are fascinated by the British monarchy, whether it be adoration or bemusement or even downright disdain. But can we imagine what it must *truly* be like to be a royal? As Evangeline says of Mary, "She has all the privilege and wealth and status anyone could ever ask for, but what's the point if it's really just a gilded cage?"

It's full of scandals! Evangeline is the previously-secret illegitimate daughter of King Alexander and the love of his life, an American woman. She's half-sister to Princess Mary (Maisie), and they were in fact born on the same day! Of course the revelation of Evangeline's existence and her presence at court causes absolute chaos in Britain, and scandal after scandal ensues.

It's packed with family drama! The Queen Mother, Constance, is absolutely awful, cold and hateful, to Evan; Alexander's wife, Queen Helene, isn't much better; Evan and Maisie have had to work out their prickly relationship; Helene is having an affair with Alexander's brother, Nicholas, the Duke of York; and of course there's the dastardly snake Cousin Ben, Nicholas' son with his first wife. Such drama and treachery!

It's got the first love we adore so much in YA! Evan and Kit are absolutely adorable together, but then there's also the gorgeous son of the American president, Thaddeus Park, who may throw a spanner in the works. There's also Maisie and her best friend turned girlfriend, Gia, and their struggles as Maisie tries to come to terms with whether her desire to be with Gia and be openly gay outweighs her duties as a royal and ability to inherit the throne.

There are so many more great reasons to read this one, and I'd encourage anyone who loves YA and/or enjoys reading about royalty to pick this series up! I was blown away last year by just how good Royal Blood was, and Royal Scandal is an incredible sequel!

Rating: 5 stars!

La tristeza afecta de modo extraño a las personas.

* “Özgürlük olmadan barış tutsaklıktır.“

* Bu zehirli toplumdan kaçmayı ve hiçbir beklenti olmadan, kimsenin beni yargılamayacağı bir yerde yaşamayı o kadar çok istiyordum ki...

* "İnandığın şey için savaşmak her şeye değer."

* "Benim pusulam olmuştu ve onsuz ne yöne gideceğimi bilemiyordum."

* "Bu ülke insanlara aittir, yönetenlere değil."

* "Baktığım her yerde adaletsizlik görmeye başladım. Bunu bir kere fark ettin mi, bir daha geri dönemezsin."
