Description from the publisher:
A Princess and the Pea Retelling
Rumor has it, she’s the lost princess…
For the last twenty years, the fae have been reduced to servants. But, when rumors spread that the lost fae princess is still alive, Layla’s life is thrust into chaos. The more she learns about her past, the more questions she has. Only her Personal Electronic Assistant, or PEA, AKA Penny, can reveal the truth. But, if she chooses to unlock the secrets of her past, she could lose the one friend she values most.
Rumor has it, she can’t choose…
With a human hunting her, an elvish prince trying to save her, and her heart caught between the two, Layla must decide who to trust and who to love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROYAL BY BLOOD is the tenth book in the multi-author Once Upon a Fairy Tale Night series and the first book in S.A. McClure’s Lost Queen Chronicles.
I love fairy-tale retellings and this was no exception. Penny, Layla’s PEA (personal electronic assistant) was probably my favorite character. She reminded me a little of the Model B-9 Robot from Lost in Space – slightly arrogant and always one step ahead of our hero/heroine.
I loved that this story was all about letting us know the backstory and preparing for the series. There is no rush, because we know that more will come in future books. I love the slow burn for all the details.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via BookSprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
