What a fun story! Just when I thought we were headed down a standard princess trope, there was a mysterious death. I loved the character growth. I had to pick up other books at night because I would find myself reading into the wee hours. Perfect summer read!

There was a bit more drama than mystery, which I had to get used to.  I could see this as a made for tv series, with the drama and minimal love interest.  This of course ended on a slight cliff hanger, which I'm debating if I want to read the next book in the series.  
If you don't mind teen drama, enjoy the English royalty, with a side of mystery, this is the book for you.

This story starts with an angsty teen rebellion, but  Evangeline Bright is much more than that. She’s been expelled from 9 boarding schools over 6 years, her father is the King of England and her whole life she’s been King Alexander’s illegitimate secret. After her untimely dismissal from boarding school she’s going to England to meet her father for the first time in her memory. Evan/Evie/Evangeline must overcome many obstacles, personal and public, including a murder where she becomes the leading suspect. This story is  really good and I would definitely recommend.
