Synopsis: "Princess Amelia is dead... and one of you will replace her."
Seventeen-year-old Victoria Sandalwood has served the Duke and Duchess all her life. Over the years, she’s learned to make do with what she has and endure her surrogate father’s awful punishments. She dreams of escape, but never expected it to come in the form of a message from the Queen of Westeria.
Victoria learns that she’s the Queen’s daughter, the younger sister to Princess Amelia, and it’s time to come home and claim her birthright. When she arrives, she discovers she’s not the only one who received the royal message.
Victoria must compete with six other girls to earn the affection of both the Queen and a princely suitor… and to replace the secretly deceased Princess Amelia. If she fails to win the crown, Victoria may just have to fight for her life…
Royal Replicas is the first book in a YA dystopian series. If you enjoy courtly intrigue, heart-pounding adventure, and sweet romance, then you’ll love this captivating story. Perfect for fans of Kiera Cass, Bella Forrest, and Veronica Roth.
Review: I was recommended this book from Mary Ellen @aparanormalromance and I have no regrets. This book was everything I wanted. I got part The Selection, part dystopian, and part gore and violence! I loved it and I loved the concept of this book and series. The characters are very well developed, the writing is amazing, and that cover is to die for! I seriously read this book in 3 hours, continuously.
My only issue with the book is that cliffhanger ending, which had me like “nooooo” and how the book put me in a book hangover! I also felt the pacing was a bit wonky, slow in parts and fast in others, but it wasn’t that noticeable when I read it in 3 hours LOL. I also felt that the romance was a bit rushed, but I understand that for this character, being a teen and being enslaved, the romance would probably be a bit “oh I’m so in love with you” when you’ve known that person for like a month.
Verdict: If you liked The Selection but wanted something a bit more bloodthirsty, definitely check out this series!
