I absolutely love Aimee Carters novels and I am so excited for Royal Scandal! I cannot wait to share my full thoughts and review on this one and I just know it’s going to be so good! Her books are always so well written and fast paced and I cannot wait to see how this story unfolds. I know readers young and old are going to love this one!

Oh my god that ending!
(note for readers; the first book in the series was an open, but not cliff hanging, ending. This one is absolutely a cliffhanger with multiple strands to be tied up in the next volume.)

This is a fantastic series featuring a young American swept into the absolute craziness that is the British Royal family. As a member of one of the many cultures subjugated and almost driven to extinction by the British, I'm mostly kind of bemused at the love lavished on these very ordinary people, and that's something Aimee shows very well; they're normal people, with normal problems, living in a huge fishbowl and criticized and lambasted at every turn.

I can't wait for the third installment; things are getting so much darker and more serious and I'm very excited to find out what happens next.

Are you really telling me that HUGE cliff hanger is the real ending to this book? I loved 'Royal Blood' but 'Royal Scandal' was even better - now we have been introduced to these characters and their world, Aimee Carter starts to tear it all down. The 'Let chaos reign' tagline is absolutely apt as Aimee Carter leans into the more thrilling side of this book with danger and intrigue on every page. Evan has been the centre of vicious gossip ever since she was revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of King Alexander. The danger steps up a notch in this sequel where we realise someone is not trying to just force Evan out of the country but they are happy to kill her to get her out of the way...

There is a turning point in this book around halfway through where madness lets loose and it becomes relentless. I was enjoying being back in Evan's world but from this incident onwards, I was glued to the book and couldn't stop until I understood why it was all happening (and find out who would survive the blood shed). We get some answers in this book but it is going to be a very long year to wait to a further sequel. I for one cannot wait to see where this story goes next!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher who provided an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
