Jerry Harkey –
“Charlie” is a spoiled little princess who has to mature in a hurry to save her kingdom. So, nothing new so far. Her fiance has been abducted by the terrible bad guys. With a hair-brain scheme but much determination, she and her best friend set off and find disaster at every turn. Through a series of events she’s then teamed with her fiance’s older brother, with whom she has bad blood, to save the day. Then, book 1 ends. It’s an OK story but written very much with a YA slant.
Sarah Mueller –
This is a wonderful start to a series. Charlie is pretty immature in this book, but I think that ultimately adds to the overall plot as it leaves lots of room for growth over the series. The dialogue is wonderful and Olivia King does an amazing job reading this!
