Series: Doon # 2
The second book
in the popular new Doon YA series that takes on a classic story, Brigadoon, and
spins it in a new way to give readers a fresh, modern experience.
In this sequel to Doon, Kenna Reid realizes she made a horrible mistake-choosing to follow her dreams of Broadway instead of staying in the enchanted land of Doon. Worse, she's received proof she and Duncan are meant to be, along with torturous visions of the prince she left behind. So when Duncan shows up and informs Kenna that Doon needs her, she doesn't need to think twice. But even if Kenna can save the enchanted kingdom, her happily ever after may still be in peril.
The Doon novels are a part of Blink, HarperCollins Christian Publishing's new YA imprint that delivers empowering and heartening literature while maintaining a tradition of imaginative and impactful storytelling.

If I could help Vee save his kingdom maybe he
would see me as someone worthy of a second chance.
Fairy tales made it look so easy. The girl finds
her prince, they fall in love, a crown is placed on her head, and voila! A new queen is born!
However, there was a fine line between
leadership and conformity, and some antiquated traditions were meant to be
broken.
Ribbons of rose and tangerine streaked through
the lightening sky, reminding me that I had no business being up at the butt
crack of dawn for the second morning in a row.
The second book in this series was much easier
to get into than the first, not implying that the first book was not fabulous, because
I greatly enjoyed it, but this book captivated me right away and the story took
off like a rocket into space. The kingdom of Doon welcomes readers back
triumphantly and writers, Langdon and Carey, are back with beautiful writing
and captivating storytelling abilities. The story was another enjoyable trip
down fairy tale lane. The alternating points of view between Mackenna and Veronica
are back in this next installment. Even though they are best friends, their
personalities differ so much.
At the end of the last book, the girls had separated
and hoped to follow their own paths. I was not completely happy with this
choice and I am glad to see that they were reunited in this book. However, life
for the girls is not a bowl of ice cream with cherries on top. Once they reach
Doon again, they find that the land is in complete turmoil and an evil witch is
working hard to overtake it. Vee and Kenna are facing their own demons in their
lives, but soon realize how quickly they must learn to work together again.
The land of Doon is full of magic, mystery,
romance, and adventure and no matter how old you all of these things never get
old. I recommend reading the first book in this series before you dive into this
one, and I also feel that you should know that this book ends with a huge
cliffhanger. I am dying to find out when the next book releases. I am just not
sure how much longer I can wait!
